I like what i see there! Nice drawig, man
I have to admit, you draw cars better than I do.
Cars are so hard ;-;
Iād be lying if I said I found cars hard to draw.
The hardest part is getting the perspective right, but for everything else, considering Iāve been drawing cars since I was a babyā¦
I can draw cars to be identifiable as generic cars. I cannot draw specific models without very good references and a lot of time. Iāve got a grasp of what makes human beings unique from one another and can tell them apart on sight, my brainās built for that. I donāt have a similar lexicon for cars, or guns either.
So both groups of inanimate objects, that are influenced blatantly by perspective with their mathematically precise lines and curves, elude me in ways that soft limbs and hand gestures donāt. Fuck perspective. I have the hardest time fitting people into 3D environments. Itās like making two opposites play nice.

is that why you cant into backgrounds either?
I find populating backgrounds to look believably cluttered to be really tedious. Getting perspective in it that is both interesting AND also fits people in it, double tedious. The fact I can take an hour+ just drawing clean toons, plus a lot of time to get the handwriting neat (learning disorder), then double it to add backgrounds. I can make my points without a reality around my characters.
The few times I do, more care tends to be given in fleshing out the background than framing it so the picture isnāt boring. I need to spend more time planning the picture just to be happy with it later. One of these days Iāll do a fully-fleshed picture as some kind of challenge/timesink when nothing else is going on in my life and it will look fucking gorgeous. I will be sick of making it by the time it is done, but thatās what it seems to take to be worth it.
So tl;dr, yes. But also I find the effort overwhelming. I need to take classes on how to do this more efficiently, or learn to make use of abstract backgrounds better.

Idk why but i saw that as kinda rude.
Anyways, perspective, no matter if we are talking about backgrounds or cars, itās time consuming. Add to that the fact that most of the time if you want to get it good you need references and stuff, maybe even a ruler. So no, not even wanting to do that.
Letās put some mountains or trees in the bg and we are set (?
Happy mountains or trees.
You know with all of this background talk, this is actually why real working artists of comics and manga hire assistants to do the background stuff and non critical pieces of the drawing. So donāt go beating yourself over it much, I too find it tedious and I actually think itās one of the hardest processes in a drawing.
Which leads to the point, my drawings look really bland without anything happening in the background, it makes the world lifeless and gives in even more focus to my subpar skills shown in the main parts of the image.

Itās not a cata-related pic unless something from the nether is both that big and that weird. Actually, that might be really likely. I tend to spend as little time as possible looking at nether creatures in cata.
Either way, thatās me doing backgrounds, albeit a decade out of date skill-wise.
Iād like to see one of your backgrounds from now, but i know itās a lot of work, heh.

Awā¦ Now I feel like crap
Why D:
Because youāre amazing at creating pixel art gifs.
Awesome animation stopsignal
Awhh, thanks people! A lot.
Unfortunately, Iāve not been working on anything recently. Iāve been felled to the trap of Good TV shows (in my opinion) and laziness, But hey, Iāve made at least 20 pictures since iāve been back and a little break would be nice. I will probably come back later when iām depressed the series iām watching is over. (btw its āKung Fu Panda: LoAā) (also, i typed this out using the ease of access keyboard, cause i didnāt want to restart the darn thing, quite the feat) love u bai <3

I donāt know whyā¦ Exactly.
