~Miss Panda's Art Thread~

[Hyoshido]

But I appreciate your feedback! Most people here don't seem to care much about art unless it's giving requests for sale or for free, which is something that I just can't do.

90% of forums with an artist community are like this, It's just something people are going to have to pull through :c

That's why my thread is constantly ignored, because I refuse in-game bells as a payment and my "Art" is lacking so people aren't even interested with paying TBT

N-Not like I'm bothered or anything, My stuff really isn't going to get noticed compared to your actual talent.

In a way, yeah, it's not too surprising. Sadly, the surplus of threads here are mostly "DRAW MY MAYOR/OC!!" instead of actual art threads. Not to mention that fact that a lot of people create new topics for every little thing instead of just putting it all into one topic for themselves. It just continues to flood. I'm searching waaaay back in the pages to find some old actual art threads and it's incredibly sad how buried they have become over threads that are just requesting art and not displaying what the person can do (which is what I thought what this thread was for).

To be honest, I don't think in-game bells is good to pay for anything. After I heard that people can dupe them, it has lost its meaning as currency. I certainly could never stand to having a bunch of duped bells on my account knowing that the person literally did no work to obtain them. So I completely understand not accepting in-game bells. TBT is still a pretty new concept to me, but I suppose it has its uses, since it subtracts the bells from you every time you so much as edit/merge a post or upload a picture.

Sorry to hear that your thread got ignored, though. I'm not much of a buyer, myself, unfortunately. I figure that if I want something, I'll just make it myself. But honestly, "talent" is such a loose word. I don't believe in talent when it comes to art. I believe in hard work and dedication, and striving to improve. Even if no one buys from you, just keep doing your own thing. Practice makes better (as there's no such thing as perfect). Display the things you've made and who knows, eventually you're more than likely to catch some interest. Just don't give up. : )

I feel like my thread has more choices instead of "DRAW THIS ANIME BAE OR MY MAYOR AND I PAY GOOD" but people will always ignore it for that reason, even though I post some of my works in that thread at times, I dunno but sometimes the people requesting art causes my thread to be buried since it's got no hot anime babes.

Well, I won't lie and I'll come clean, I have something worse than "Duping" and that's using a Powersave and I have Billions of Bells because of it, I feel bad for doing it since it was intended for Pokemon only but yeah. It's all staying in there because nobody wants any in-game bells from me (Unless I giveaway some to friends)

Which infact I do, I give my friends quite a handful of Bells if they ever need them, Honestly if you need some Bells, shoot us a PM and I'll be glad to share.

This is why I wish I could draw, I aint even held a Pencil properly for 5 years, after failing my Art course my motivation just dropped to zero and just gave up drawing, I do Pixel art, that's probably why it gets ignored because heck, who'd want Pixel art?
Let alone that I'm still learning how to sprite without some sort of reference/base...>_<

But eh, I'm probably gonna save up for a Tablet or something in the future, wanna learn how to draw again ._.

Yeah, threads do get buried a lot. Like I said, I'm still digging many, many pages back to find threads that aren't continually asking for people to draw their OCs/Mayors or making ten different threads for their stuff. They bump the threads a lot, too. I just wish they would make a subforum for it here so it would be easy to avoid those types of threads. I brought it up in the site section, but most of the people who replied had "Draw my mayor" threads and thus didn't agree. : P I don't know where you get the anime babe thing from, though. I don't see any threads about that.

Well, I don't understand cheats, personally. And I wouldn't ever go to someone for bells if they got them through cheating the game/hacking the system. I like my earnings to mean something. I may have a measly 12mil, but I made it all myself in the game (not counting how much I've used to buy Gracie stuff and expensive furniture). I just wouldn't want to be holding money that someone acquired by uncouth means. That kind of money means nothing, just the same as I wouldn't take $100 from someone in real life it were offered if I knew said person got the money illegally.

If you want to learn to draw again, there's never a bad time to start. Practice, practice, practice. Nothing is going to turn out great from the get-go, but as long as you strive to improve, improvement will happen with time and effort. No one becomes an amazing artist overnight, after all. If you're lacking motivation, perhaps try to inspire some. Watch/read/listen to something that inspires you, look at other art or art of things you like, etc.

Pixel art can definitely be cute and I've seen people buy/sell that kind of thing here, too. Just keep trying, as giving up will never get anyone anywhere. If you don't feel confident in it yet or you're still learning the ropes, keep practicing it and post your practice pieces in your thread.

Might aswell just send the old threads to the graveyard in this rate but eh...I remember being one of the first people to make a drawing request thread and since it was like one of the only ones, it actually got noticed, Now months later, I re-made it and it barely gets any views and interest but eh, with so many going on at once...what am I to expect?

Also the Anime babes I mentioned is just a joke since so many people want their Mayors all drawn chibi like and some other generic "Anime" styled stuff.

Oh no no no!, I understand you completely, I feel bad for using cheats on AC (I mean...it helped me make my Shrek church in my house <_> which I AM grateful for...) but I feel like I'm not even playing the game anymore due to so much Bells, thus why I offered to give it out to friends, But I understand why you don't want any part of it and I respect you for it too. Although it was an intentional offer after all haha.

I've gotta save up for new PC parts (My GPU is dying out and is having trouble running some software, Gotta also buy a new fan for my PC, not gonna stay cool if it's only got one fan running while it's on for hours and hours..Also maybe a new Hard-drive too but that's for another time) but I was thinking of also buying a Tablet so I can atleast doodle like I used to...Although they weren't super good really but ayy, There's room to improve.

I suppose so, but as I've said many times...I feel like I'm lacking with the edits I do.

I feel like I should talk with you more, you're a really understanding person and that's really hard to find around here these days.
(Maybe if I wasn't so blacklisted? I dunno, but the community decided on that :I)

I tend to bypass those threads, personally, since it's just not in my interest to draw a mayor/OCs that people want a hundred different pictures of from different artists. But that's just my take on it and my preference. I'm not interested in any sort of popularity contest or attributing my efforts to anyone else's popularity contest.

Lol, that's a completely different image than I get in my mind for 'anime babe'. I think of the atrocious way that females are drawn with huge assets and skimpy clothing. What I see with the mayors appears more like 'overly cute style' and 'self insert'.

Ahh, good luck with that. I recently (or this past May, anyway) upgraded my graphics card from the integrated one I had. It works better for streaming now and the games play a bit smoother, which is nice. Not bad for a little $50 upgrade. I was disappointed to find out that I'm eons away from having a powerful enough system to play one of the games I wanted for PC, though. Even the lowest requirements are for a graphics card that costs around $500-$1000. And I may as well by a new computer for that amount of money. :/ Tablets are nice, but I never could get the hang of drawing down below while looking up at the screen to see what I was doing. I got a tablet monitor, instead, and I love it to death. Drawing ON the screen is a thousand times better.

Eh, every artist is hard on themselves. That's normal. My best advice is try to focus on the positives. And don't try to be a perfectionist or you'll constantly disappoint yourself. Take pride in what you do and find things to like in it and you'll probably feel a hundred times better about it (more inspired and more motivated too, from my experience).

Haha, I sort of know what you mean. I've met a few cool people around here, but actually talking with people is short-lived, and most friend adds are nixed once the trade is finished. There's a few exceptions to PM conversations I've had with a few, but eh, things like that take time, regardless.

Just stopping by to say the art from your limited palette challenges are so completely stunning. I find them really enchanting, and almost like them more than your unlimited palette drawings because they're both complex and beautifully simple... I dunno I just really liked them xD

Thank you very much! It's really sweet of you to take the time to say that and I appreciate it. : )

Palette challenges are something I've only started trying this year, but I love them. It's so fun to see how creative and intricate you can get with a limited set of colors. Before doing them, I used to stick to the same colors for characters and it was pretty predictable coloring. Palettes change all of that and can really challenge you on how to approach a piece. It's fun and it's often a surprise how things turn out in the end. It also offers a really interesting way to approach the lighting and lighting source with highlights and shading. I definitely look forward to doing more of them.

Thanks again for the Dreamies and being wonderful to work with! : )

Thanks a lot for Kid Cat and Diana! : )

Ohhh, the arts you just posted here are really cute!

Thanks so much! I probably won't be posting them on tumblr, so I guess this is the only place you would have been able to see them. XD;

I'm so awkward about drawing from real life sources, though. I'm always afraid that I can make a good likeness to them in my anime-style.

 

[Amissapanda]

Edited one of my old RO signatures to make a banner for my AC town! I'm pretty happy with it. : )

The only thing that bothered me is that I couldn't make the background see-through like I wanted between the two rectangles. Whenever I uploaded it to an image site, it added this horrible gray BG to it... That said, though, it looks alright the way it is, I think. I might mess with it just a little bit yet and change the BG to white. That should make it appear see-through in that gap on this site, at least.

Are there any other anime pairings that you're particularly fond of, Amissa? :3

Haha, where do I start?

But really, yeah, there's quite a few that I enjoy aside from my OTP (Fakiru). Syaoran/Sakura from Card Captor Sakura was one of my first. I still think they're adorable. Chrono/Rosette from Chrono Crusade (definitely another of my absolute faves, but mostly from the manga story). Kazehaya/Sawako from Kimi ni Todoke (CUTELY ADORABLY AWKWARD BABIES). Haruka and basically... everyone from Uta No Prince. Miyazawa Yukino and Arima Souichiro from Kare Kano. Forgot the lead's names since it's been awhile since I watched, but the main pair from Kaichou wa Maid-sama. Ren/Kyoko from Skip Beat. Ryuuji and Taiga from Toradora! Otani and Koizumi from Lovely Complex.

...I could go on, but you probably get the jist of it. XD Basically, I love shoujo and romantic comedies a lot. It's my go-to genre. There's a few others along the way that I enjoy in different genres (like Chrono Crusade), but I'm not really one for mainstream anime most of the time. I do have a lot of ships in games, too, though.

 

[Amissapanda]

Another palette challenge.

Playing with lighting/shading is fun~

 

[Noodles_]

I love your pallet challenges! That looks amazing.
Great job, as always!

I love your art a lot, wew wished I was that good lol
I've been trying to draw on digital, but really have no clue what I'm doing so I've been slacking

I adore every single one of those couples you've listed. But, augh, Chrono Crusade really tugs at my heartstrings. I disliked how the anime ended--left me feeling pretty devastated, actually Q__Q One of my favorite all-time couples is Kail and Yuri from a manga called Red River. I suggest you check it out (that is, if you don't mind a little smut here and there xP).

Aside from black and red, purple looks really good on Rue <3
