Amanda Makepeace (ᏣᏁᎾ)<p>Transitioning from Photoshop CS6 to Affinity Photo 2 is going SLOW. VERY SLOW. Some things are easy to figure out while others are just bizarre. Resizing the canvas shouldn’t function like this 😅 <a href="https://turtleisland.social/tags/artistproblems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>artistproblems</span></a></p>

maiji<p>I didn't feel like writing a whole fanfic for the melodramatic SO2 mobster AU my brain (literally) dreamed up, so I wrote an outline and drew some pictures and a few comic panels 😂 Also, complaining about colour correction and scanning.</p><p><a href="https://www.pillowfort.social/posts/6140986" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">pillowfort.social/posts/614098</span><span class="invisible">6</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/fanfiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fanfiction</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/fanart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fanart</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/StarOcean2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StarOcean2</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/ArtistProblems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArtistProblems</span></a></p>

vulgalour - Free Range Queer<p>More file transfer and tidying today, as well as some video subtitling and hopefully some video editing.</p><p>I'm experiencing the artist problem of a sprawling archive of work and reference material that really isn't as well organised as it should be. If this were an analogue set of stuff it would be a room with towering piles of books and a floor groaning under the weight.</p><p><a href="https://birdbutt.com/tags/MastoArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MastoArt</span></a> <a href="https://birdbutt.com/tags/ArtistProblems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArtistProblems</span></a></p>

maiji<p>protip for artists: don't flip a picture right after you go it's done because then you'll go it's NOT. If you know you know</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/ArtistProblems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArtistProblems</span></a></p>

maiji<p>Me: *random jokey comments with friend* ha ha how droll<br>Me: *hours later, in the midst of spending an inordinate amount of time executing an elaborate in-joke illustration* oh no</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/CreatorProblems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CreatorProblems</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/ArtistProblems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArtistProblems</span></a></p>
maiji<p>That feeling when you've been conceptualizing this illustration idea in your head all day and you're like "This is the best idea!! This is gonna be so cool!!!" and then you sketch it and you're like "...this looks really stupid..."</p><p>I know from experience it just needs some time/love/refinement but the immediate transition of feeling was very :bunhdidle:</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/ArtistProblems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArtistProblems</span></a></p>
maiji<p>Nothing gets you into the right mood for drawing a romantic picture like alternating between grumbling about posing two people close together interspersed with "oh no! body-kun [artist mannequin]'s arm popped off again!!"</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/ArtistProblems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArtistProblems</span></a></p>

vulgalour - Free Range Queer<p>When you're an artist online you have to put your signature/website very visibly on your art so people can find you.</p><p>When you do this, your work is not shared as widely because it's "spoiled" by said mark.</p><p>Unless you make the mark easy to crop out or remove, thus defeating the point of it entirely.</p><p>You have to either accept your work will be stolen and reposted without credit, or accept it won't be shared as widely, you cannot have both.</p><p><a href="https://birdbutt.com/tags/MastoArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MastoArt</span></a> <a href="https://birdbutt.com/tags/ArtistProblems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArtistProblems</span></a></p>

Ashenwave✨<p>These days I'm trying to find a method to draw the male body in an stylized way that mixes well with my whimsical art style.<br>The lack of long hair to play with in the compositions is a great problem tho :blobfoxcry2: <br><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/ArtistProblems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArtistProblems</span></a></p>
maiji<p>Why do people have bodies. Sigh. lol <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/ArtistProblems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArtistProblems</span></a></p>
maiji<p>So after getting maybe 70%+ of that melodramatic scifi fantasy fairy tale fanfic (I need a shorter code name) written in about 2-3 days, I got stuck on 2 plot points for... I thought it was weeks, but it's actually only been ~10 days?? Anyways, I think my subconscious had a break through. 11K+ words now, closing in on wrapping this up, but then I had the brilliant idea of making this an illustrated story. My brain keeps moving the goalposts, it's very annoying. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/ArtistProblems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArtistProblems</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/WriterProblems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WriterProblems</span></a></p>
