Thank you. And sorry to be so direct. I at least like the chance to know you, but if I'm not your speed, I don't want to waste your time either. :)

I should apologize to people who see me on, but I don't answer your message yet. It's because I think carefully about what you mean and form my responses slowly. I promise I'm not ignoring. I'm thinking. :)
TwoShy @twobananasshyofapumpkinpie I don't think you should apologize to any of us. >:D Who are we to demand your time and attention? I'll die on that hill lmao. Please take all the time you need.

Not sure if photography counts in this thread, but I managed to get these shots of the moon last night. For the first time the lighting was just right and actually got the craters and texture of the moon captured.

Do you even read a person's profile before sending a friend request?
Ghost @kuharido I love reading profiles
yuuzora @yuuzora That's relief. I've been getting some requests, but no one tries to introduce themselves, so I wonder how they even get the idea to send a request on a photo and a name and not anything else? Perhaps should put it a bit more clearly somehow. Like in my profile picture. x.x
Ghost @kuharido Sadly some people just want to collect "friends" for boosting their numbers and such.
yuuzora @yuuzora On here? Though maybe it's also what I see with those people on dating apps that swipe right on every single person trying to get a match? The need for validation can be scary. x.x
Ghost @kuharido Not just on here in any online spaces.
yuuzora @yuuzora It's either weird or we're the weird ones. It'll be fun rigging up a profile picture that evokes that sort of "the quickest way to irritate me is to not read and/or follow basic instructions". XD
Ghost @kuharido They won't read that either sadly TwT. I try to make any of my profiles give basic info about me. Usually my interests as that's the best way to talk with me.
yuuzora @yuuzora Yeah I added my interests and basic info, but mostly I had to lay it flat with people seeking immediate romance. It hasn't stopped anyone from trying, but I need to at least have that neat little "I told you so in the..." when they show their desperation too soon. You have to deal with those sorts, too? I remember right, you're not looking for dates right now.
Ghost @kuharido It's not too common for me but I have ran into it. I'm someone who needs to build up a friendship before it turns into a relationship. Right now I'm not really looking I need to work on myself. If it happens organically I am okay with that but I don't want to push anything
yuuzora @yuuzora Aye, likewise on both accounts. A close emotional bond is required, otherwise I cannot feel attraction. So people who expect immediate results will just be frustrated and I will chop their head off if they try to move me along at their desired pace. I'm glad you haven't dealt with it too much. You don't deal with creepers, do you? Those ones are the worst. Just on here, the results are truly scary.
Ghost @kuharido thankfully no, I think my tough front scares them off. Unfortunately I think it's a bigger issue for women users. Which is really a shame.
yuuzora @yuuzora I'm so glad you haven't had to deal with creepers. They really are scary enough to off put the entire process of meeting new people. Especially the coverts. They seem all fine, but you can tell something is beneath the surface. You want to think better of people so you ignore it. Then they show their real face soon as you catch them saying what they really think. Some of them genuinely do not see you as human... Like you're just a consumable product they want and if they save up enough raport, they can use it to purchase what they want from you. So I understand why some people will give up on dating after experiences like those. ;n;
Ghost @kuharido They do sound very dehumanizing. I can be mean when I need to so I would scare them off. I'm a highly sensitive person so I usually pick up on bad intentions.
yuuzora @yuuzora Likewise, I just experienced enough gaslighting as a child to make me ignore things out of fear of misjudgings. Even if I've yet to be wrong. And yeah, it's scary, disheartening, and can leave a person bitter and terrified. A lot of avoidant-dismissive behaviors stem from those sorts of encounters. Rebuilding the ability to trust and a willingness to 'chop the head off' is a delicate balance that is proving difficult to learn. What about you? Do you have any attachments styles you're aware of?
Ghost @kuharido oh yeah, I do. I think have some level of attachment disorder. I'd be happy to talk about it more if you don't mind PM.

I'll give it a go. I did find a much more efficient program, but I still need to draw all the rigs with Krita. It's still quite the learning curve, though. Q.Q

Krita Animation
TwoShy @twobananasshyofapumpkinpie
Might I suggest buying Richard Williams The Animator's Survival Kit (Or the expanded edition)? Richard Williams was the director of animation for "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" and the book is worth its weight in gold for all the fundamental animation knowledge it contains. It's pretty cheap now too.
TwoShy @twobananasshyofapumpkinpie What do you mean by rigs? I'm not used to that term being applied to 2D animation. Krita has an animation mode with multiple layers, channels and playback frame rates. Or has Krita upgraded and now allows for 'bones' to be added to a picture to be rigged for animation? I might be using an older model of Krita if that's the case...
TwoShy @twobananasshyofapumpkinpie Also The Animator's Survival Kit isn't a program, it's a book meant to help new animator's master the fundamentals quickly. Instead of learning on the go, it'll give you a more focused approach. What to learn, what to learn next and why it's important to learn it in this order and examples of what it's asking you to do. The only shortcoming it has is that it expects you to already be at least an intermediate skill level at drawing.
yuuzora @yuuzora I honestly don't know any of the technical terms for anything. I just now am learning about skeletons and bones. So that's probably what I mean by rigs. I am aware you meant a book. Sorry my English is awful. I haven't been to the library in a while, but it's a good reason to.

I usually hate sax with a burning passion, but can appreciate the talents from time to time.

Rose Mommy ® @wei_ying Wahh!? I don't know how you could hate such a beautiful sounding instrument, but to each their own ^^. But then again, I think I just like the sound of mostly every instrument XD. I don't care for the way bagpipes sound
yuuzora @yuuzora My feelings around saxophone are that I'd rather listen to a crumhorn concerto for 48 hours. Mainly some of the most boring, awful droll moments I had to spend in the immigration offices, they always played the same sax music. I don't mind bagpipes, as they're nostalgic, but I can understand why some don't like them. Same with Bassoon and Viola.
Rose Mommy ® @wei_ying They should've spiced up the music options XD. And I don't know if I've ever heard a bassoon or viola before?

Eh, a manga/anime studio is more of a secondary goal, but artist burn out is actually the norm. Especially from new artist's trying to break through the landscape which now includes art thieves and AI "art". It's why every few years there's a writer/animator's strike. There have been positive pockets like Kyoto Animation, but karoshi(death from overwork) is a common trope even(if not especially) among more famous mangaka like Akira Toriyama. It's less about laws and more about culture though. It kinda goes back to the renaissance when artists were not deemed important, and yet their work shaped the world.
As far as using just your memory to draw from, that's a good goal. Though to be fair, I rarely use less than two resources to draw from anymore. My memory is probably terrible but using a reference pose saves time when my wrists are fakked like they are. So any time saved is wrist strength saved. So don't be too worried to use what you've got. Even the classical artists used tons of references. Some even used a tool called a camera lucida which was a way for someone to quickly sketch out basic shapes directly from an observation/reference and then later refine the shapes. Finding those tools now though costs quite a bit sadly.

I don't think I do. xD
There is so much to learn and practice, before I would ever consider having the fundamentals down.
I think a good checkmark point is once I am able to draw anything from imagination and bring it down to paper AS I imagine it.
And that's certainly still a long way to go. But practicing these things step by step is really fun!
There is enough spaces for artists that aren't as brutal. It really only gets this brutal on top level, when you aim for Anime and AAA game production, which a lot of artists strife for. Makes sense, since once you have that under your belt and in your portfolio, it opens pretty much all doors.
Anything indie should have much healthier environments.
Not trying to talk you out of it tho; if you got what it takes, go get it!
Anyway, I've been practicing heads the last couple days. Here is a Yelan drawing I am working on.

yuuzora @yuuzora
Yas. I believe you'll be great at it. I'm in that boat of people that really believes anyone can be an artist with enough practice. If you ever want to collab or need help, I'm here. I wondered someday about starting my own manga/animation studio but that's probably thinking too big. What subject has been your favorite to draw so far? Any muses?

I would love to eventually work as an illustrator. Be that in animation or game production.
With drawing, I never really tried before, thinking I lack the talent to ever become good at it.
Watching friends start from nothing and improving motivated me to give it a shot tho.
Aswell as from experience that talent is such a small factor when it comes to becoming REALLY good at something.
What is way more important is putting the work into improving and understanding how to improve.
Feeling the progress from just these few weeks already tho, makes me feel pretty confident I am heading in the right direction and I will be able to work as an illustrator eventually, granted I stick to practicing. :p

Oof, really have to pay more for more framerate? I just use Krita and Synfig because is the poor. lol. They're so smooth though. Are you working to become pro?

I started out with Clip Studio Pro, but I got a monthly sub for the Ex version, since the Pro version is limited to 24frames.
