Alright, so same OP from >>528396, but this time, it's not my art that I'm showing tho I'm probably going to post another OC of mine l8er It's these two guys I know who have pretty crap-tier OC designs, but they never like taking criticism from anyone and are always coddled.
Any advice on how to deal with these type of people and how they could improve their designs?
the last image is by a different person, here's some of her other art
Aaron Jenkins
ignore them and move on. they will never be accepting towards criticism of their art until they choose to become open to advice.
Until they make that decision, there is nothing you can do to help them.
for a great example of this, look at Tom Preston. So many people gave him help, and he refuse all of it. Now he's just another has-been drama queen who's been left in the dust.
Xavier Butler
Howdy Holla Forums, I was hoping if I could get some criticism on this here lil' cutie or somethin.
Camden Lee
Creator of Tom and Artie here, I'm dropping the link for the progress I've made on the script.
Granted it's been a year since I worked on this and just did some reformatting. Would be helpful if anyone wants to give it a read and tell me what they think of it.

It would help to know whats the story these characters are in. If we know something about the setting we can help the design out.
It pays to have an idea or plan of that.
Logan Moore
well, this is oddly relevant
been for a while trying to reinvent old teenage-years sonic fancharacters and that kind of shit, both mine and others I remember, into a looser, more "disney comics"-ish, "children's anime"-ish style, in a cyberpunk setting. Recently spent a whole day waffing in a city with a notepad, and ended up sketching a ton of characters, which I'm now refining. This is one such pass. Since so far I'm mostly just doing this for the designs themselves, I don't have specific stories going on, although just by the fact I'm shoving all these together, I'm starting to get ideas.
Kayden Barnes
looking good design wise.
Jeremiah Thompson
The character design itself isn't the character so much as the primary look/uniform of a private army of infinitely disposable children/really convincing midgets.
These little assassins were tailored specifically for their boss's tastes, and are paid only in candy.
The kids that still have families typically live semi-normal lives, save for whenever they're assigned on some mission, so another child must cover for them at home while the child going on the mission does their thing.
Thanks to the regular frequency of deaths/mysterious disappearances suffered by Buttons, many parents find that "their" children are acting strange or different from hours or even days ago.e
Their main thing is getting hired for ridiculous assassination jobs with little to no stealth needed at all, gladitorial style battles for private enjoyment, mundane tasks, and the occasional odd job
Ay Bronons, Got a design here i just created. Need some critique.

Eli Davis
works for me, I think. at most I'd say it's a touch bland if it's a main character, feels it needs some flair that's not there
Lincoln Turner
Yeah, yea, I already get it's cancer, but it's not even mine, it's my "friends" own. As for story, they never explained too much on it because I guess they don't want to spoil it or some bs like that. I doubt they'll ever actually work on any sort of webcomic in the future so it's pointless to not tell the backstories for the characters. The bunny is supposed to be some sort of adventurer in the woods, the other bunny-thing ((in the second and third pics)) is supposed to be a god named Willow, and the edgy black nigger with no nose is just a persona, at least that's what I presume.
Dylan Rodriguez
A bit on the edgy side but they have a soild feel.
I already like the design.
Not bad, a lot of the designs loom great. Just finish up on the story and share it.
It's cute.
Angel Foster
There isn't really an issue actually, it's more tradition than actual malice.
Jonathan Mitchell
'Nother design for the fire.
Thank for the input the character was made to be a character sheet for practicing with animations later on. Wanted to make it simple to execute multiple times for fluid and clean animations.
Liam Reyes
FUCK.OFF im-fucking-plying. get the fuck off my board you fucking faggot
Nicholas Morris
Okay, maybe a little bit of malice from that one autist who keeps spamming but he's just some faggot who contributes nothing to the board. Seriously, BO pulled up his post history, and it was mostly just that one message.
Carson Martinez
Fuck off nigger.
Kevin Taylor
Thanks, m8s. Found a random doodle of what I think will probably be the final design of the main character

the message will continue until tumblr has fucked off. The tumblr infestation doesn't contribute in a healthy way. It infested cuckchan and now this board is under threat. so again: fuck off

Well that character looks a bit familiar. Nice to see brilliant minds run in the same gutters -:)
Good clean linework there, too. Always a plus.
Nathan Jackson
Pretty good user, but I'm a sucker for miniature robots ever since I played ChibiRobo. I think the one on the end is my favorite, but I think maybe the face should be black with the eyes\mouth white to keep in line with the others.
Otherwise keep up the good work, glad to know some people on this board aren't useless sacks of shit like me.
Wyatt Ramirez
I want to see those two fuck
Levi Rivera
Hey I recognize some of these.
Richard Stallman. Nais
While not an exact copy, I am quite sure that you are that one drawfag from that one other thread on that one other board. Nais.
Overall, they're very nicely and lively designed, poses are done nicely. I hope I can read an actual webcomic featuring characters like these.
Jaxson Davis

Adrian Hughes
Cute, what's the story behind this one
Hudson Lee
Bare with me here, the idea's in it's document stages so if this sounds cliche you have all right to tear this concept a new asshole. So the little guy is called a Mite, mite are somewhat small automatons that have been living underground for years thriving and interacting with various robotic beings. Mite are standard robots able to construct and build massive underground cities to house both themselves and whatever comes in contact with them. They are quite friendly and tend to be timid around newly discovered creatures or information. This mite's purpose in the story is pretty simple at first. Let's call him Little. Little is a mite with a function (Renascentia) to replicate nearly any form of information with any material or substance that can withstand it's shape. For example Little can literally turn metal into gold, however, if the object in question is destroyed to a certain degree the replication process will cease. Sorry if it seems out of place, i'd like to make this into a comic of some sorts just gotta get the priorities in order first. Got the beginning and end just need to give the story some meat.

Are there any books or tutorials on designing characters with puppet animation and rigging in mind?
I want to avoid Johnny Text tier animation and designs but I'm finding it difficult to design characters that look good with tweened motions. Of course, other cartoons have had success in this area such as Dan Vs, Gumball, and though I hate to say it, MLP.
Nathaniel Lewis
Holla Forums I need your help. I need a name for this character. He's a kind alien robot with a TV for a face

Dylan Perry
Actually wait that stupid spelling shit differently because alien language thibg is autistic.
Im autistic.
Leave it at Ray-on or something.
Seems like a friendly guy.
Liam Ward
The more complex the design, the harder it is to make it look good as a puppet rig. You'll need more parts to hide the broken edges etc. From my own small amount of experience, I've found that lining things up neatly is necessary only on held poses, the inbetweens are fine to be broken a little cause it'll move too fast for the eye to really notice. As for avoiding Johnny Test tier animation, that comes from studying the old techniques and methods first (you do have the Animators Survival Kit don't you user?). Get good at those and after you've figured out the workflow for rigging, you'll make good rigged animation regardless. I haven't properly seen Gumball, but Dan Vs and MLP do indeed have some of the best flash rig animation, nothing wrong with appreciating that. Dan Vs is more commendable in my opinion because with the ponies, they're not human, so their animation avoids the uncanny valley of quality as much as humanoid puppet rigs, as evidence by the drop in animation quality from the pony show proper, and its shitty human spinoff. In that regard, Dan Vs was better.
I just thought, if you download the game animation program Spine, it comes with 7 or so pre-built examples with animations, included in the free version too, they might be good for you to look at and see how they're constructed and work as a whole.
Juan Martinez
rate my OCs guys :DD
Camden Foster
It's actually good to know that with some rougher designs you can avoid falling to Johnny Test quality just by having a foundation in animation, which I have, and yeah, I've read that book as well as many others, but only recently did I decide to make the switch to puppet animation. It's just to hard to handle the workload and deliver anything consistently when going the traditional route. Now I just need to figure out how to make them look nice. It seems a lot of the rules of normal animation design don't apply or carry over to rigged animation.
I've basically just been bullshitting and copying designs at the moment to see if I can pic up on anything.
Mason Williams
Embed is a tutorial series about animating ponies from a fan that produced an absolute piece of shit fan animation called Double Rainboom, which was pure cancer. However, the tutorial starts from the very beginning of using flash to make and animate puppet rigs. If you can ignore the pony shit, you might find something of use.
I think making them look nice comes from the solid base of traditional animation skills. But I've had much trouble with trying to get programs like Flash to simply do what I wanted it to do, because it requires a different mindset. Traditional is more straightforward, I think, which is why I prefer it, but yeah, the workload is immense. I found puppet rigs hard to understand because it involved creating a ton of body parts to move around rather than drawing them per frame, which I still prefer. But I use Spine at work now, which involves binding sprites to bones and moving the skeleton around, which is useful because you don't necessarily need to move every single bone/part, and it's easy to switch between sprites.
Bentley Anderson
Luckily I've got all the stuff in the video down as well. The animation isn't hard at all, though now that I've moved over to Toonboom figuring out the software can be a little rough, but they have tutorials for that. Really, I just want to get better from a design stand point, though I wonder if I just need to reference designs I like more than trying to make them up off the top of my head. I know Richard Williams is big on "stealing like an artist" and uses numerous Looney Tunes characters as a base when designing.
And also, I know what you mean about preferring to draw each frame. It is a LOT simpler, but requires quite a bit of physical work vs technical work. The nice trade off when using puppet animation is that you don't have to sketch, ink, and color each drawing and can focus entirely on motion. In a way it's almost closer to 3D animation.
Mason Wilson
Glad to see this thread got resurrected.
Contributing.
Jeremiah Young
Pretty damn good, but some of the faces look a little off. Seems like you need to work a bit on drawing heads tilted forward.
Some characters seem to have a tad oversized cranium, which ends up giving them a bit of Code Lyoko vibe. Not that there's anything wrong with it, although Code Lyoko's art style was just revolting to me.
Luis Roberts

Well I may contact the same artist for some more pics in the future as a concept type of deal.
At this point I'd just want to hear what one thinks of the script so far. How did it make you feel, you notice anything wrong?

It's not a cat thing? Oh…well then it's worse. All joking aside between the way the nose is done, that particular brand of passive-aggressive snark, it DOES seem like the artist is a native tumblrite. I don't particularly care for brown, being brown myself. But the poster raises more red flags than a postman with a full sack.
Sebastian Miller
Tell me more about this burly white role model. Please ell me he's blond and blue eyed. also make the girls thighs and ass meatier. A girl can get by on no tits if the ass is phat
also, since everyone seems to be harping about the nigger skin tone, just make her skin grey and dehumanize the facial features slightly. Enough that nobody can get offended by whatever racial bullshit they can read into it but not so much that it's unattractive. Grey/very pale skin stuff like that.
And giver her some tits man

if it makes you feel less triggered, im really sad by the fact we had tumblrfags between us for as long as 2 years

Hello Kate, when can we expect your next marvelturd to come out?
Chase Gray
Very nice. I have a predominately writefag character (have posted here before, was mostly overshadowed by magicalgirl waifubait). It was a satirical take on the cybernetic Q.T genre as well as a critique on both feminists and those who question any woman in combat, regardless of circumstance.
Differences are is that mine
>Is Belgian needless to say, h'wite
tl;dr I memed #Brussels into existence. Stopped writefagging since.
I got you, fam. If only I can get my drawings on here
Its a Cyborg, unless its a Stephen Hawking type character, they will always have some degree of physical prowess.
Connor Butler
I should've been more specific about that. There's 30-odd others in the same boat as her, with varying specializations. She'd lose a gun battle against one of her marksman counterparts.
Also, I like the angle you're taking with your character.
Also also, I appreciate the genuine response.
Nothing I do or say will convince you otherwise.
Kek'd heartily.
Jordan Young
Probably not. But I'm just one user on the internet so it won't kill you.
Adam Howard
Ah, now i'm curious as to why they were created. My take was that human "cybernetic" applications are being toyed with to create fighter pilotsrather than infantry that can handle 6th generation planes as Unmanned-a-shit and human blood circulation doesn't function well past 9Gs.
Still curious as I am with your stuff?
Well…you do draw better than I do, but than again, I draw in a way that can be easily transferable to a motion format (animated on minimal sheckels)
Lincoln Diaz
weird body proportions, calves and hips especially
all thigh no ass
calves look super unappealing like the shoes are just really uncomfortable or she has a whole nother joint where there should be calves
Luis Hernandez

also that bitch looks unnatural as fuck the way she is balancing at that angle on the tipps of her does, and her back goes too far forward from her ass, that is liek 6 inches of ass sticking out the curve is all wrong
Cooper Perry
Have fun believing it's possible to reason with people. I learned a long time ago that once you get called a tumblrite, stormfag, weeb or anything like that, it's best to just give up. Circular logic of people who call for bogeyman is undefeatable.

Most draw/writefags touch tumblr at least sometimes, it's what they do. Trying to purge them from Holla Forums of all places is a fool's errand.
Camden Parker
No, I wasn't trying…
Bah, whatever. Here is the designs I've been working on. At this point, I want some honest opinions, and I don't have anyone to talk to.
The idea is the following: A girl is trying to save her brother from some mysterious force, atop a mountain. With the help of her brother Guardian Spirit, she must fight some evil that has corrupted the forest.
Pretty simple, right?
And yeah, the Spirit Guardian is based on Stands, from Jojo Bizarre Adventure. I'm looking for other sources to make him more distict from the inspiration.
Justin King
Nope, don't recognize you
Ian Hughes
GOOD.
Jace Evans
seems alright
Caleb Hernandez
I'm just speaking out loud here but anyone else get tired of when someone does a comic that has anthro characters it's always some type of magic forest adventure thing? I had this conversation with an artist a few days ago who is doing a comic with anthro characters in a scifi environment and he expressed worry to me that the market for anthro characters is over saturated.
I told him it fairly is but the problem is that so many of them follow the same premise that you can have one which isn't in the same setting and you're instantly on a different path. In this case it'll be the forest/magic setting that alot of them like to make use of. I guess because it's intoxicating due to how pretty you can make the scenery look, maybe the designs would be easier to draw, I dunno but this setting is really overused for anthro characters.
Brandon Brooks
Maybe is because it makes sense.
At least in my story, anyway, since the characters are bunnies. And magic combine more with natural surroundings like the forest than with anything else, I suppose.
Colton Peterson
Fished this OC bitch from cuckchan. Name's Adelaide and she was used to troll drawthread requesters on April Fools.

Lincoln Ortiz
Seriously the fuck is there to discuss?
Jordan Hill
How about no?
Owen Sanchez
I'd love to but this site's current demographic refuses to acknowledge its 4chan roots.
We have faggots like bitching about how there are drawfags on an imageboard, yet its likely the same people who bitch about how Holla Forums has no OC.
Its hard pill to swallow to know that even post -apocalypse 4chan is a more suitable environment for making OC than here.
You can only theft so many images from Reddit archives or google searches before shit gets old.
Hudson Kelly
I made the dumb choise of choosing a wrong picture. You see, one of the pictures has the nickname of the artist who works with me. If you discover him, fine, he is a fine artist, and a good pal of mine. Don't be harsh on him.
Thanks to you guys for giving opinions, and i'm really sorry for deleting the pictures.
I'll post this and, that's it .These pictures doesn't have the nickname.
What do you think of the Guardian Spirit? As I said, he is inspired by Stands, who tend to have a robotic design, and this character basically acts like a robot pal.
These characters were for a videogame project that sadly was cancelled because the programmer and I couldn't get along. I'm working to make it a comic.
Alexander Bennett

There's a story here:
Just do your thing. Besides, posting anything here will likely get either "tumblr fuck off" or "waifushit cartoonshit" anyway. I'm used to that, and you will too.
Owen Carter
How about the plot first?
John Hernandez
Bet you 20 bucks he was also gonna introduce racemixing on his story
Cameron Smith
I already told it Harley
Parker Taylor
So the main character has two brothers? One who is kidnapped and the other who is a Guardian Spirit? Or does the brother become a Guardian Spirit to help her? Was there a reason her brother was kidnapped or was it random choice? Did she already have the skills with the crossbow or learned it on the way?
Also looking at the girl's design. Why does she have a back quiver if she's using a pistol crossbow? It would make more sense for her to a pouch on her thigh holding the bolts. Also reaching back for those to reload a crossbow makes it more of a bitch especially during combat.
Lucas Hill
heh, I didn't think of that with the crossbow. I'm not the artist, but i'll make sure to correct it.
No, actually, I think I need to expand a bit more. The story is about two brothers who live in the woods. One day, the brother is missing, and the sister is attacked at home by a weird monster. Suddenly, a mysterious thing appears and save her, and claims it's the brother Guardian Spirit. His name is Kono, a name choosen by the brother, Kono ask her to help him save his master, who has been captured atop the mountain.
The plot is about the sister saving the brother, with the help of the spirit.
Is a basic story, but thats the idea.
Ayden King
Wait back up.
So the sister doesn't live with them? Where is she? And you said there's two brothers so the second brother saves her as the Guardian Spirit or it might be your words confusing it.
It sounds like you've still got this in the realm of a video game plot and you need to break it. Expand on it more.
Josiah Thompson
I meant that if we chase off every drawfag that has ever had the audacity to look at tumblr we're going to run out real fast. The tumblr menace isn't a group of people that say "I want to draw for 4chan" let alone Holla Forums.
So continue your adventures drawfags, just never go native.
Easton Wood
Or probably just my bad english. I'm sorry.
The sister and the brother live together. When she arrived home, her brother wasn't anywhere. She looked everywhere at their home, and the monster appeared out of nowhere to attack her.
I meant "two siblings who live in the woods".
And the Spirit was a secret from the brother, and is part of the plot twist.
Levi Clark
What was it?
While I agree about the faggoty user and his story, have you ever considered that the art is just bad?
Jeremiah Martinez
Never go full retard user
Ian Jackson
I did, but as he only got defensive and displayed pride on his fecal character as well as passive aggressive behavior, i think it's pretty sure to assume we're in presence of a tumblr user.
Mason Ramirez
So he was kidnapped because of this Spirit he hid from his sister?
Also the combat ability of the sister. Does she already have it at the beginning or learns it?
Dominic Martinez
Unfortunately its too late, as this site has too many scars attained from cancer and cancer treatment. Every thread devolves into an autistic witchhunt for the (Insert buzzword of the month) and again, NO OC, is made, with the exception of the rare image from Holla Forums or /r9k/. I have never considered making a bumlr account, but may have to, as to destroy their precious safe space from within. There will always be chans, but much like a movie franchises, each new installment will be worse than the last.
I swear to god we argued about the stupidity of tumblr, when they ganged up on a minor for drawing an SJW Universe character not as fat as they are themselves. Yet the same shit is happening here.
Contrary to the previous statement above, I do intend to be among the last off this sinking ship. Just dont expect me to weep for everyone.
Carter Ramirez
Kinda. Is part of the plot twist.
I don't know the word for it, but she is the "guardian" of the forest. I think the word is "ranger". She knows how to use long range weapons like bows and crossbows, and is quite good.
Michael Cruz
Thanks for critique man! These are fairly older portraits, but you're on spot with the flaws~ I'll try improving.
Also, some newer OC stuff..
Oliver Phillips
Her face still looks like a post-op tranny
Parker Jackson
Is this the equal and opposite reaction to tumblr? This is the exact kind of behavior I'd expect to see there, except instead of bitching about a character not having MUH DIVERSITY you're bitching about a character not being MUH PURE ARYAN BEAUTY. You're all autists.
And that goes double for you, horsefucker.

Alot of OC shit on Holla Forums has been discouraged due to how easily people go at eachother's throats. Hell 8/co/ is practically worse for it since everyone is always paranoid of some invisible sjw boogeyman.
Lincoln Lee
I wouldn't say its worse but you just gotta expect these things when submitting an OC, I particularly remember the same drawfag in the last thread submitting the same character here and they didn't get as much flack. Either we just got a random influx of user's or the user's snobbish response here- really made him seem like tumblr core. Honestly besides the face I think the character is fairly well drawn.

Jesus Christ people, you are cancer, and you're going to kill this board if you don't respect the artistic vision of the artists. Just provide some more constructive criticism, like "the unusual proportions don't make her look very athletic, which clashes with the fluff that she's a genetically-engineered soldier", or "your should really work on your faces because they look rather awkward with feline noses, rather masculine faces on female characters, and weird facial proportions in general"
Gabriel Evans
First off the board owes nothing to anyone. They knew what they were going to get once they posted here. As said before here - in the past thread the same artist didn't get so much flack, if you need a reminder here's an archive

I believe that when he said fuck off, he secretly knew that it wouldn't drive people away. Maybe we should rather try to interpret it as an expression of his opinion that that person "does not belong". It is of importance not because it might drive those people away, it merely shows dissatisfaction with the people who fail to integrate properly into imageboard culture. It does not matter whether that person actually came from tumblr, it is more important that the person leaves the culture associated where it came from: tumblr. I think he hopes that it will drive the tumblr-people away, but it will only drive away the culture from here, which, in a sense, is all that we could care about.
Daniel Morales
Not the user you're talking about, but it's sort of like that. I had to watch as cuckchan went to shit and I got banned for saying that diversity for diversity's sake is retarded. So I'd rather not see this place go to shit in the same way. Like dealing with zombies: if someone starts showing symptoms you need to address that before it becomes worse.
Also he's being a right proper faggot, regardless. "Hurr durr I'm triggering you!"

True, it's still kinda gay. sage for offtopic.

Jeremiah Clark
here's some rough character art of a detective character I'm working on for an animation. It'll mostly be static poses with light animation (think Aqua Teen Hunger Force/Inferno Cop). How does this pose and design look at the moment?
Owen James
Im not an expert but it honestly looks good, can't wait to see the final product.
Henry Richardson
The design is very typical and cliche but how big of a role does this detective play? If it's a bigger role then lose the fedora and trenchcoat. Keep the tie and maybe have a shoulder holster visible on him for his pistol (if he has one).
Noah Watson
thank you
That's kind of what I'm going for. I wanted the pose and clothing to be slightly dynamic, but I wanted a viewer to instantly be able to tell he's your average rough around the edges detective.
He's the main supporting character of the show with the main character being the gag that I don't quite want to give away just yet.
He'll be heavily shaded (comic style) and have a yellow color scheme when I'm finished with the clean up. Basically, I just want to make sure the design reads and looks good.
Ayden Hernandez
oh, and I just wanted to say I appreciate the input and am not trying to defend it as a "muh style" sort of thing, just that the cliche aspect of the design was in mind when making him. Of course, if you can think of anything that might help make the character look better, I'm definitely taking notes.
John Hernandez
Depends what's the setting?
James Collins
Some current day city, probably going to go for a noir look. Don't know if I'm going to go downtown and get some pictures for the background, draw them, or make a collage.
It's going to be a comedy, but I want to give the art direction a slightly stylized, serious look to offset things.
Bentley Harris
Just refine your facial anatomy a bit. Do some light studies on the skull, and muscles in the face. They look pretty good but there are some slight proportional issues that look to be done by lack of knowledge instead of stylization. The issues I see are extemely minor though.
Grayson Bell
Basically this.
Eli Nelson
Thanks for critique~ I did a lot of skull studies, the big problem for me is stilization, especially open mouths and smiles.
Also some newer characters for my own project (pic related) yeah, black and white is my comfort zone
Hudson Young

Isaac Richardson
That's really good
Hunter Davis

I won't reveal any info because I want to hear y'all initial impression, then compare it with what I wanted and see if I did good or not.
Lincoln Torres
The characters are really good, The first one looks like a smug fuck, the second one looks like an edgy-but-disciplined guy. But please. I have but one recommendation. Don't say y'all. Except if you're posting in the pony thread on Holla Forums. Or if you're RPing as something gay. But not here.
Colton Perez
What?
Christian Hughes
reminds of Dark Souls honestly. I'd love to say Berserk, but the armor design looks like Artorias's set, and the gal has some kinda winged spear.
Jaxon Young
Have you seen those faggots there? It's pretty funny actually, although you'll start to fear what those people are like in real life.
Easton Sanchez
I don't go to Holla Forums, that place/ board concept hasn't been good ever since m00t first eliminated dubs back on the original Holla Forums.
Wyatt Davis
This is why I hate boards with not IDs
Owen White
no*
Chase King
Alright. I won't say that word anymore, haha.. I watched Hateful 8 recently and english is not my native so my accent is damaged by the movie :D also no thanks I'll be steering way clear of any bronies.
While the 2nd one is close to a point (the dude is a very conservative, traditional, reserved knight), the first one is actually just a very positive person. She loses a lot of fights and gets beaten a lot but she always stays enthusiastic and motivated for every next duel that follows.
I think the gay guy/bee/giant rat from family guy is in his head when he hears y'all
It's interesting how dark souls set up a trend of rugged/torn up knights much like any guy with hood instantly brings up Assassin's Creed comparisons. I had these guys in my head from a different source though, long before dark souls gained it's popularity (or at least when i heard about it's existence). The armour design itself is actually my try on taking some sci-fi designs and sketches and making them more fantasy-like.
also new drawing (of an older OC again) in pic related.
Tyler Johnson
Here's two lawyers. They deal with frauds and insurance and get entangled in criminal business that's probably best reserved for the police.
Ryder Ortiz
Nice idea, the art complements nicely too.
Jayden Baker
Yeah… I notice that too now, thanks for pointing it out user
Anthony Russell
No keep it, and make something out of it.
Michael Anderson
No keep it, and make it a character trait.
Leo Parker
Keep it though and build upon the absurdity of a giant fist
Brody Kelly
I can picture it now, he's the brawn of the duo, throwing the meanest punches with a head sized fist
Brayden Thomas
Just fyi, posting "fuck off" won't make any one leave. If you want to scare off a tumblrcunt, you post gore
Juan Martinez
then quit feeding the fire
Colton Cooper
Fuck off bby ;)
Connor Gomez
I'd read it
Michael Cox
hey Holla Forums, I've recently been feeling guilty because I've just been drawing fanart of other series or requests for other people and never really focus on my own OCs, and I don't ever really like working on my own ideas because I feel like it'll always be unoriginal and bland no matter how hard I try.
Any advice on how to help me with this?
Jaxon Martin
holy shit is this thread still going as always fuck off
Hunter Barnes
Just draw it and get the anxiety over with, As long as its drawn well your fine.
Carter Myers
Basically this
Aaron Morgan
Well the best possible thing you could do is show them off anyway. You're not going to gain or lose much, the criticism or shitposting might just help or at least aspire you to create something different. It would really have to depend on the your current art level and their overall design. You can't create/ make things if you don't show them off and test the waters to see how they react. The faster you know the general perception of how people think of your character, the faster you find yourself improving your work.
Connor Williams
Sound advice, user! Did you draw that picture?
Nathan Scott
No
Elijah Lopez
I still screencapped it anyways.
Adam Lee
People like you will kill off this board. Creativity is the driving force be it on imageboards or anywhere else.
Zachary Barnes
Then quit responding to him
Easton Campbell
Good times
Wyatt Williams
They're still gonna spew the same trash regardless.
Jonathan Gutierrez
What does it matter to you?
Adam Garcia
you can't kill what's been dead for months
Wyatt Williams
The potential is there for everyone but I think this board has a problem where it's just rage fuel. Most of the threads are just about complaining about something an sjw or idiot did in comics/movies. When a thread comes along that isn't about either it goes to page 10 so fast.
Camden Bennett
Well after the shit that happened on cuck/co/ it's hard to blame them sometimes.
Still, you're not wrong.
Sebastian James
People wouldn't be posting if they didn't know that first hand.
Isaiah Russell
Both of these are true. I'll admit I get a little weary when I see people namefagging outside of say a drawfag thread. When you see people (like artists) carrying their namefag everywhere then we've got a problem.
Jaxson Barnes
That is an issue but this thread does warrant a name though.
Austin Baker
Well of course a thread like this does but when people start doing it outside of the thread then that breeds some weird feeling of superiority. Or you're just that desperate for attention.
Luis Morris
Most probable case.
Ian Torres
Or both
Kayden Jackson
Honestly I've only seen it happen in the Edit thread and the Writefag thread. Im giving the draw thread a pass because its the draw thread.
Jaxson Parker
What's the story behind her?
Asher Myers
Holy shit, I just noticed we only have 10 pages.
Christopher Perez
That sounds like an interesting story. I'd love to hear more once you've made progress on it. I really quite like the design as well. The colors go nicely together.
Lincoln Bailey
Here's a short (long for board standards I think) description:
Lily Himeros is a young Fire sorceress. She spent most of her childhood and teen years in a magic academy (her mom was teacher there). With that she was able to learn most spells and tricks early which gave her more than enough free time to spare (which others spent learning).
She is very open and wanderlusty (is that a word?) person so she left her magic academy in search of adventure, travel and tests of skill. She used her beauty to travel cheap and since she is not the type to commit (to people and/or relationships), it doesn't bother her to be indecent from time to time.
She later joins a group of 2 introverts (the protagonist and his closest friend) and wanders with them around the continent (this is where the main story/plot starts)
TLDR: Extroverted, adventurous, seductive fire girl.
Pic related: 2 new guys (1 is a closest friend of the protagonist mentioned above)
Isaac Mitchell
Hot Damn this looks good
Robert Martinez
10 buxs that the guy on the left is the protagonist.
Gabriel Wright
kill yourself.
Ian Edwards
kill yourself as well.
Matthew Rivera
since this thread is pretty much dead, can i make a new one
John Ross
I say we wait till 250.
Levi Taylor
So made this character on a whim, she's an anthro Sea Anemone. Then I found out she looks too much like Coco Nebulon (2nd pic). Any ideas on how I can adjust her design?
Gavin Rogers
Wow, not too bad.
Well, I can't say you weren't being creative here. Though all anemone's are non-mobile creatures.
You can try chopping off her udders, most sea anemone reproduce asexually or through budding. If you really want make it a feminine design then emphasize her hips more. The appendages/ tentacles should always be around the mouth area or she could have a dwarf like body (Head fused with chest, no neck) while her tentacles would make the majority of her figure.
Wyatt Ortiz
If you don't like us so much then fucking LEAVE. Retard, go back to your safe space.
Austin Ramirez
I was trying to draw on sexy appeal and I'm not sure how a head fused with the torso or tentacles around the mouth could look sexy. can you give me an example?
Luke Perez
Quit feeding him dumbass.
Brayden Robinson
sage with a capital S doesn't actually sage the thread dumbass.
Noah Green
Nor is restarting shit again and derailing the thread faggot
Justin Rodriguez
The only person derailing the thread is the kike defending a shitty drawing of a tranny nigger dumbshit
Jack Hernandez
You mean the 40 posts before and the fact your responding to a month old post from 4/07/16, you're not trying to start shit again and derail the thread?
Anthony Edwards
idgaf how old it is, acting like a tumblr-defending nigger-endorsing jew deserves being told off retard
William Ross
>idgaf
Jesus Christ, I think I actually found a child on Holla Forums
Lincoln Allen
don't bother, user. he's clearly starting shit on purpose to derail the thread.
Nathan Clark
gas yourself
why are you replying to yourself?
Jack Bailey
So what were the dank memes in the rule of Septimius Severus anyway?
Henry Reed
I hope you realize that your posting style and ~le clever joeks ecks dee~ are insipid and reek of reddit. And defending an actual unironic sjw that happened to stumble upon this board and post xe's stupid nigger OC isn't helping your case.
Gabriel Reed
Woah there buddy I think you got the wrong user I just came here because I heard you guys might be talking about shitposting romans. Now that I see this is not the case I shall tip my respectful nod to you and go complain to fetish artists on tumblr about how problematic their art is.
Jackson Lopez
Jesus Christ your autism is real.
Sorry mate, ya don't just jump to conclusions like that.
Brandon Martin
He's just a wander goon who got loss trying to get to /cow/. I'll see if I can contact the mod to put him in a time out corner or something.
Kevin Baker
I, too, can inspect element and remove the "(you)" from a post to pretend I'm not samefagging But I'm right, you really do sound like a redditor and you're only confirming it.
what in the actual living fuck does somethingawful have to do with any of this? do you actually have autism? did you forget to take your meds? and go back to your containment board stop posting degenerate chinese cartoons
Liam Cook
>who the hell talks like this If i'm confirming it, you're making it painfully obvious.
William Russell
If retardation was a dick, it would've been balls deep in your mouth.
Jayden Butler
How do you be this much of a hypocrite in one single post?
Yes. obviously. me not being consistent with my capitalization (purely out of not giving a shit about this conversation, mind you) is part of a grand conspiracy for goons to overtake Holla Forums. I have never met a more delusion person in my life, I might screencap this and post it in cringe threads in Holla Forums tbh
Jeremiah Sullivan
It's code user., I, too, can = I Toucan. JIDF are hiring birds now
Cooper Hill
was one reply not enough? do you really feel the need to reply multiple times to a post? If retardation was a dick it would have already penetrated your stomach and came out the other end.
Landon Stewart
that's pretty hot, tell me more about this retardation impaling
Benjamin Gutierrez
At least I can use proper grammar and spelling. You can't even come up with your own insults worth shit.
>>>Holla Forums
Nathaniel Stewart
Its called sarcasm.
You spent a good 2 months in this thread saying the exact same gibberish and now all of the sudden you don't give a shit?
Jonathan Jones
God, why must perfectly good threads like these be constantly shitted up with room-temperature IQ retards?
Jordan Baker
The shilling is real Im honestly on the brink of emailing the BO personally to see if you can do anything, this fucker has been in too many threads already
Camden Diaz
Please just fucking do it already if you know what's good for this board. I don't want a board like this to fall to severe autism.
Wyatt Clark
Sure, but if more than one person sent an email it would help a lot
Robert Morales
Just fucking start, and others will follow suit if you lead by example.
Ian Green
what the fuck are you talking about? my first post in this thread was . Is the concept of multiple fucking people disagreeing with you completely alien to you?
"I was only pretending to be retarded"
do you know what the word shilling means? what would I be shilling against? retards like you sperging out and posting sjw shit?
stop replying to yourself, you're really not convincing anyone. it's like a kid with an imaginary friend except the kid is a 30-year old fedora clad autist and the imaginary friend is someone that disagrees with him on a mongolian arts and crafts imageboard Wow, you really are pants on head retarded. you think one singular person is the cause of ALL arguments against you in this board. you think some spooky evil menace is following you wherever you go. nigger I've never interacting with you as far as I can tell. I mostly stay to /jojo/ (the adventure time thread) in this board. You either have the wrong person or are just completely fucking nuts.
Liam Brooks
all me :^)
William Edwards

Jeremiah Evans
don't listen to me everyme im a liar as we all know
Juan Johnson
Please legitimately commit suicide.
Isaac Campbell
How new are you? have you been on an imageboard before? do you know what "samefagging" is? it's when some autist like pretends he's two people agreeing with himself in an attempt to make it seem like he "won" the argument. right after you.
Cooper Wright
Do you even know what SJW shit is?
I know what samefagging is, you illiterate newfag. What fucking arguement? How the fuck do you know it's a samefag, on a board with no IDs? You first.
Henry Bennett
yes, things like posting a shitty tranny nigger OC in a thread that at one point apparently had decent artists.
projecting.jpg
Because you're making it ever so painfully obvious. it's pretty fucking easy to tell nigger.
nah it's all good, you go on ahead.
Oliver Robinson
topwew.
only if you reply with dubs.
Joseph Thompson
why would it matter if the text is spoilered?
check em
Blake Turner
Why wouldn't it? :^)
Anthony Wood
i dont remember what we were arguing about tbh
look at these fucking doubles tho
Lucas Baker
I came here to check dubs and chew gum.
and i'm all out of gum.
Jose Anderson
this next post will be doubles
Gabriel Morales
hahah i hate people of jewish origin :^)))))
Colton Edwards
oh hahah me too friendireno
Kayden Allen
Done. Don't forget to write on on your end
Aaron Hernandez
stop LARPing that you're multiple people pls
Justin Morris
how about you stop me from getting these dubs
Jace Hughes
I've been here since the first exodus and I think I'm finally done with this place.
Other issues aside (non-stop CP spam, 4chan-level moderation on the most popular boards, Jim/Hotwheels/Josh all being greedy incompetent pricks, errors fucking everywhere), I cannot stand the anti-SJW zealots who destroy any chance of discussion on every board.
If people can just ignore the countless retards who blindly force politics into every topic no matter what, then why not just post on Tumblr?
Asher Clark
what dubs? these ones right over here?
k dont come back
Leo Gonzalez
my digits say that you should in fact leave, and that the poster of is a cool guy and also probably very attractive. i wouldn't know though
Blake White
kys my numbers say so
Luis Thompson
NO ONE MAN SHOULD HAVE ALL THESE DOUBLES
Camden Jenkins
FUCKING HELL U DERAILERS
Hudson Williams
Wow, that's good got anymore?
Joshua Perez
Yes, I've been filling up the thread. These >>568847 (and the rest related) are mine too, I just wanted to end the derail before i could finish the character drawing.
Daniel Stewart
Good to see you're still around, I can't wait till its finished. I'll probably make a new thread around 300 posts with a disclaimer.
Wyatt Rodriguez
this is my oc (copyright 2016 user™), it was procedurally generated based on the protagonists of animated works that have successfully gained publicity this year, also did you know it is really a secret fox man hedgehog ninja spirit on the inside.
In all seriousness though:
Are my favorite in this thread. And some people seem to be posting art they got from commissioning someone, which doesn't really make sense. This thread is primarily about art design, it seems, so why the fuck post something you didn't actually really make?
Ew dude, don't highlight the negative features by putting it in traditionally feminine poses when it's really not. And it's a shame because your art looks like it could be good too.
I like the bodies but something about the heads are kind of off. I couldn't give you actual advice, as I'm not really an artist, but it just looks a little bit weird.
these are probably my favorite, even taking the time to put in colors trumps the effort of a lot of people here.
At the end of the day he's right though, should go back to a middle-ground in terms of his shit being accepted like 4chan or reddit. And really you're at fault for starting shit with him as much as he's at fault for starting shit with the nigger poster.
Jaxson Gutierrez
Duly noted but this is the same guy you just complimented - here, that the other user is simply shitposting to leave. Yeah I know his response was shitty - Assuming the two posts listed are the same guy but we all fuck up once in a while, he didn't act like this in the first thread and by now he should've realized he acted like a retart.
GET THIS SON OF ABITCH HIS OWN 7PM TIMESLOT! WE GOT COMEDY GOLD!
David Hill
we all act like retarts once in a while don't we
Nolan Young
Yep
Thomas Foster

Julian Perry
I left the thread after posting in the hopes that there would be less shitposting without my presence. I came back to lurk when I saw a huge burst of activity a couple days ago. If I'd known that the shitposting would continue anyway, I would've just kept on posting content.
I do feel bad about having egged people on. Maybe I have a touch of autism, because I still don't quite grasp how mild snark/sarcasm elicited such responses. Consider me appropriately chastised, in any case.
Thanks for actually giving me some specifics to work with. The weirdness with the nose stems from a stylistic quirk that I'm trying to curb. I typically include a line delineating where the shadow falls beneath the nose, and I was exaggerating it far more than necessary, hence the cat-like appearance. I still don't see the "mannish" aspect of the jaw that people are talking about. It's a bit angular, but then the whole character is rendered with a fairly angular aesthetic.
That might be the most genuinely insulting thing anyone has directed at me in this thread.
Christian Perry
You're browsing an image board user, everyone has it by default. But no hard feelings, the face seems better though but you could go easier on the details for the arm.
Nolan Roberts

Bentley Walker
Its the minor details that tends to sway a piece of work.
Nathaniel Flores
Drew something completely problematic.
Jonathan Stewart
thanks for the fav man. this is user speaking.
do you think there anyway I can improve the design?
Jayden Diaz
HOW DARE YOU, YOU DISGUSTING CIS-HET MALE!!!! WOMEN DON'T LOOK LIKE THAT, THE HAVE SKIN TAGS, WRINKLES AND HAIR ALL OVER THEIR BODIES!!!!! HOW DARE YOU SEXUALIZE THE FEMALE BODY IN A WAY THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE. AND NO I CAN'T ACTUALLY LOSE WEIGHT BECAUSE OF MY GENETICS, SO THANKS FOR BEING ABLEIST TOO!!!
For real though, I think you got something here. other than basic technical improvements, I would suggest dulling the yellow somewhat.
also the costume feels a bit generic, like slave leia or dejah, try looking at more sources such as belly dancer costumes or gypsy costumes.
Dominic Brooks
Space Princess design is okay, check out pic related for some inspiration.
Christian Perez
Thank you for the advice. I am admittedly an amateur and my material is also cheap too.
Well to be fair, that was exactly what I was aiming for. I wanted it to look like Dejah Thoris. In any case I could try aiming for belly dancer costumes.
Thanks, m8.
