There are clans for fandoms, there are clans for artists, but there isn't a clan for getting your art noticed and possibly starting whole new fandoms - not that I've found at least. I know every artist at some point has had an idea that can and deserves to gain some sort of following that extends beyond the artist's family. But for whatever reason, that idea never does. This is a place where we could share our universes and give tips and help each other out with their work. If we could get at least a few people interested in our hard work then it'd all be worth it. Every day people find diamonds in the rough that went unnoticed, perhaps we could dig up a few and cut them into stunning gems worth wearing! Now to get this out of the way - I'm grouping visual artists (drawings, animations, etc.), writers, musicians, and game developers (there's gotta be some here on Lioden, so just in case they find the clan I'm giving them a rank.) all in one big category of artist. We all spend countless hours working on our projects, thus we are all artists! On Threads and Content: There will be all the normal threads you'd see in a clan, but they have special purposes to us, of course. Sell: Place for selling characters, stories, or entire universes. Lottery: Same as the Sell thread but the winner is randomized. Roleplay: Separate threads created by the creators of a work so that the fans of that work can be in it's universe! Said threads haven't been created yet. Content shouldn't be too bad as long as they comply to the Lioden rules and are tagged (links to this website, contains this that people might not be interested in, any warnings - "may trigger this phobia" - that need to be stated) with appropriate warnings. 0 players like this post!

I was finally able to see it and it looks great! Much better than I could do at the moment, though I am practicing. 0 players like this post! Like? |

Well, we're glad we got a niche filled! I'm trying to start a comic about an otherworldly being who takes away recurring dreams for a living, but school work is getting in the way at the moment. I'm listening to a livestream while doing my math homework and the guy is making a song out of the random things people in the chat says. Killing donuts is a popular topic apparently! 0 players like this post! Like? Edited on 12/10/16 @ 18:22:33 by Crow (#93898) |

I took a 5 minute shower and now the guy has a random guest. "Art takes a while, art should be savored." I agree random guest, I agree. Edit: So his name is Will. 0 players like this post! Like? Edited on 12/10/16 @ 18:41:52 by Crow (#93898) |

So I'm working on a full body ref of Augustine, finally, and this is what I have so far... 44 layers. 44 layers for a plastic faced bean pole! I'm gonna see if I can fix his face but still, 44 layers guys! 0 players like this post! Like? |

O_O 44 layers sounds insane. Then again, I have no idea how many layers I normally use. How do you check that? 0 players like this post! Like? |

Well, I use Pixlr which numbers the layers by default. Layer 1, layer 2, etc. I'm able to keep track because I don't usually rename them. I'm not sure if other programs do that, though. That being said, I do end up with around 100 to 250 layers on my drawings depending on whether I shade it or not. I have no idea why I had so many layers simply for the lines of just one pose, I guess that's just how this river wanted to flow. 0 players like this post! Like? |

Photoshop numbers layers as well, I think most programs do, but the way I work I tend to duplicate layers and groups and merge them a lot. My shading is usually 4 or 5 layers, assuming it's sort of cell-shading not painterly or realism and there aren't any glow effect or anything. Color layers depend on character, but probably 7-12 for most characters, 1-3 layers for a standard background (not a really detailed one) and 1-30 for lineart? I do sometimes get close to thirty, I counted on the thing I've been working on. I mean, I have a commission that's probably about 50 layers of lineart, but that's the most detailed digital background I've ever done, and the background has lineart that I'm counting. I mean, a standard drawing for me now that I'm doing the math is probably 15-40 layers in total? 0 players like this post! Like? |

I'm just bad at faces. And limbs, hands, and fingers. And bodies as well, I'm pretty much bad at everything unless I look up references or get lucky! 0 players like this post! Like? |
