I've found myself going the storyboard approach 'cause I struggle with words, but I've found it kinda difficult when planning out larger storylines and behind the scenes lore stuff.

What are your goals this year? Please don’t say nothing or I’ll throw eggs at you, goals are good to have!!

I feel like a younger Doodle would be annoyed with this back log, but the Doodle of today thinks it's nice to go back and fourth epically if i get stumped on how something looks. I feel like this is pretty comparable to some gunpla back logs you may see lol

It can be anyone, ranging from developers, to fans, to publishers, to the executives or in some cases, bunch of investors!

So, go ahead and thank them for putting out something good for you to play.

P.S. A great example of an artist would be, in my opinion, Duplexide. You can also check out my favorites.

I was having a conversation with a new friend from university who also draws stuff in Clip Studio Paint. They asked me how I kept the computer from lagging out and my first thought was the canvas size, so I naturally asked what theirs was. I then almost metaphorically spit out my drink as I learned their minimum size is 4000x4000 pixels- I told them my minimum is 1500x1500 pixels, and will extend the canvas if I need to and even then try to not cross the 4000 bridge on any sides.

That got me incredibly curious though, whether y'all have a specific size to start with or a minimum to work with? Perhaps if you got some advice for choosing the canvas size at all? Thanks for reading -w-’

Not just playing on easy mode, but also spending too much time in game:


It's less common today, but what are your favorite screens or gameplay elements making fun of you in some fashion?

who's ready for my biggest art collab yet? yeah, the eva collab may not be over BUT I COULDN'T WAIT I'VE HAD THIS COLLAB PLANNED FOR WEEKS AND I CAN DO WHAT I WANT RRAHHHHHH

WELCOME TO THE GLITCH ART COLLAB!!

this is technically 6 art collabs in one mwahahaha

SMG4
META RUNNER
MURDER DRONES
THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS
THE GASLIGHT DISTRICT
and the newly released
KNIGHTS OF GUINEVERE
are ALL part of the collab... that's right... EVERY Glitch show (I'm counting Sunset Paradise as SMG4. bug, the Glitch mascot is also allowed)
I had plans to do just a Murder Drones collab, but I thought this was a MUCH cooler idea
.

UP TO 7 SUBMISSIONS PER PERSON!
I wasn't kidding when I said 6 art collabs in one, there will be one big main canvas with all the art and then one canvas for each show, so all the art together for one image then each slide is an individual show... if that makes sense...
and one more submission just in case (:
and just like my other collabs... there are no limits on the amount of each character
if there ends up being 6 Pomnis in the collab... then I guess there's 6 Pomnis in the collab lol

you can make one piece of art for each Glitch show or you can double up on your favorites, so for example if you're not a fan of one of the shows listed... you can make 2 pieces of art for Murder Drones instead

and one more thing, if you want to draw 2 characters together that will count as one submission
BUT ONLY characters from the same show
so for example, N and Uzi together can count as one submission
but NO SHIPPING other than what's canon... which is N x Uzi
I don't want any shipping wars to start and if someone complains about N x Uzi... well... it's in the show so... bite me
.

NO AI
I'm not talking about Caine or N here... those AI are fine
I'm talking about AI being used to make your art...
you should PICK UP A PENCIL! NOW!

NO A RATED ART
NO NSFW! THIS ART COLLAB IS RATED T!
I know some of these shows can get kinda dark or whatever (cough cough murder drones)
but don't make anything crazy gory, where the whole collab would have to become Rated M
other than that, go wild

AND MAKE SURE YOUR IMAGE IS TRANSPARENT AND HAS NO BACKGROUND
if you draw traditionally and you can't remove the background, I can do it

ok enough yapping
GET DRAWING!!

I make electronic dance musics (and other genres) and this is my first track here. I usually produce in FL Studio PC with Serum, but this one was made quickly in FL Studio Mobile.
I’d like to be fully scouted so all my uploads can appear in the Audio Portal. The track is fully original.

Seriously, aside from what Jack mentioned, if you struggle to draw or get bad results with acrylic paint, it's simply because you don't have experience with it. It's just another medium, another tool, and the only thing it affects is the time it takes to get the results, not the result itself. I work equally in traditional and digital formats. In the beginning, digital was more difficult, and yes, I had horrible results. It's just a matter of practicing to end up following the same path as traditional.

you make good points and i completely agree, however, "it's not my fault that you're bad." as if this was a personal attack feels so unessisarily intense and it kinda makes me giggle. no shade to you though
i do agree though. not havig the experiance and not knowing the limits and benifits of a medium is not the fault of the medium. practice makes improvement!

Sorry, I'm still young, and sometimes I tend to leave stupid messages like the one above, But let it be clear that when I leave those messages it is as a joke :P. At first, I was going to leave a message like Flikki's, but sometimes I think about what I write and try to counteract my immaturity and always leave a more "professional" side.
