Heeyyyy

You can hate a character and still think they're well written. Are they a bad person? Yep, and I hate them for it. Are they a bad character? No, the author clearly worked their ass off!

Bookbinding Fanfiction

So apparently Barns and Nobles just…let you print out your own books for little cost? I had always wondered of those who make their fanfiction into physical things to read rather than through a screen, but I didn't think it would be this easy.

The idea of printing my own fic into a physical book just sounds nice for some reason.

Actually, printing anyone's fic into a physical book to re-read just sounds awesome. As long as you aren't planning to sell it, it's a nice way of solidifying it, making it easy to re-read, and being easier on the eyes!

That said, asking the author would be a nice gesture at the minimum, since sure they can't do much to stop you (especially if it's with copyrighted material), but I suppose it would be a dick move.

Like, seriously go look for yourself it's like less then $10 for 200 pages or less it's amazing.

Fuck ai.

Don't give up on your art. It's main goal to stop you from creating media and use it to replace it.

Don't stop writing fanfics. Don't stop making fanart. Be cringe. And use stuff like Nightshade or the possible new models to protect fanfics and hope it poisons the model. Or write cringey nsfw fics of mpreg and crazy ass smut, and watch the ai burn itself to the ground from it.

Just don't give up on art. The ai bros and the model itself relies on YOU. They're NOTHING AND WILL BE NOTHING WITHOUT YOU!!!

I can feel this sometimes.

Go walk for a bit, do something you can do without thinking, any simple task to let yourself brainstorm if you’re stuck.

Hello, sorry if you've answered this question before, but what advice would you give to a absolute beginner learning to draw fantasy character illustration art? (Also do you draw while high? Since that is the only way I know how I can experience new methods of thought openly without judgement.)

Hey! Sorry, i havent checked asks in a while!

There's 2 things id recommend an absolute beginner do:

Learn fundamentals. Check out /ic/'s How to Draw resource. They've put together a pretty comprehensive guide including a number of books and tutorials from all around the web. I'd recommend the free Proko and Andrew Loomis stuff they have. Preferably, start learning with pencil on paper.

Identify 5-10 of your favourite professional artists, and build a large reference library with their art. Study the hell out of it. Identify which qualities of their art you're keen on, and try to imitate them. This will help you figure out your own style and aesthetic sensibilities.

PS: I dont smoke, but i do have artist friends who like drawing under the influence. You do whatever you feel makes you perform the best!
