What is /ALT/?
If you're looking for a place to post your cartooning then you've found the right general. This is /ic/s 1st and only merged hub where both Eastern and Western stylization can coexist peacefully, hence the double title.
>Rules & Guidelines
(1) Any form of cartooning is welcome; so submit and receive feedback from others. (2) Please resize your images before posting. (3) Share your knowledge and (4) Remember to not be afraid of asking for critique. Most importantly, keep discussion at a civil level.
>I came for anime. Why does the image OP say cartoons general?
To distinguish from the anime study thread (janitor supported). Please post your studies there and personal work goes here.

The art is for a game I'm making, you'll see all the art when the game is completed in a few years time probably, I hope you and I are both still alive.

western art is dead and it looks like shit, it's a crime that the anime site has no anime thread. Also 90% of the drawings ITT belong in /beg/.
Can't say sage because apparently it's illegal to say sage despite Moot saying it was implemented to show disdain to a thread so i'm not going to say it. Grows on all the fields.

Looking up old anime on archive dot org, found something called Key The Metal Idol. When the OP hit, I was *instantly* enamored. Hot damn that shit so good bruh oughhhh fuuuuugggggg that animation, and that bassline, I'm gonna be bumping that shit for daaaays
I've always really liked this style of anime. We had Xenosaga Episode 1 for the PS2 when I was a kid, so it's always kind of stuck with me. I love how expressive the shapes of the face are and how they change depending on angle, and how it's simultaneously so 3D yet so abstracted. It's so cool.

It's a fine line for you, if you learn construction and how to make things structurally sound I fear you'll lose all the sovl and end up another cliche anime artist, though you do need to learn how to place color and edges so your art can shine. If you do learn some anatomy and construction you ought to come back to this piece and remake it to see if you made it better or you became study brained and lost the sovl of this piece.

I actually tried to do a more involved composition last week but it failed pretty badly at the inking/marker stage. That's why I'm drawing on toned paper with just pen. I feel like if I can fill up the 50 pages of this mini sketchbook, I'll have something.
But Carlos Nine was on some god tier shit. His sense of form feels supernatural, and it's obvious he directly inked for that loose/animated effect. Probably take a lifetime to get to that level.

Thanks! I use something called the Machine Dotting Auto Action for Clip Studio. It makes a nice screentone texture and has other actions to make the art look more textured and older. However, creator of the auto action deleted all the stuff they uploaded, so it's really hard to find now. Someone might've reuploaded it somewhere but I'm not sure

There is no reason to post my work here or really come around anymore. Everyone good has either:

C: decided i'm not worth following but I follow them anyway so I see their work
sometimes you will see new faces that are pretty gud like >>7904629 but this dude will probably never post here again anyway or not consistently enough to matter.

it does seem like everyone has left, not just here, but everywhere has became a ghost town. are there any greener pastuers out there? i don't see any. not a single place is any good, i think the real situation is artists have largely given up due to slop, and are demoralized and disenchanted, with only a fraction still doing art, or just sticking to a discord.
it feels like everyone collectively in the same moment wanted to find a new place because things were seeming dead everywhere, and so try to make a new splinter group, but the new splinter groups are just as dead anyways, so they go searching again, but there just isn't anywhere alive. It would have been better to have just stayed and pushed through... honestly I don't know a single place that is alive, other than i guess anthro.foo

>>7912367
It's probably a me problem but it really feels like it's way more difficult to make friends or join in on anything now, it's like there is an oversaturation of 'things' but no big common 'thing' that everyone would know about and participate in.
Maybe 10 or 15 years ago it felt like I could get explore all the big websites and get a grasp on what was happening on places like newgrounds, youtube, 4chan, steam or whatever it felt easy to just join in on whatever big anime was airing or new big game release.
Now it feels like there is such an oversaturation of things happening that its impossible to find common ground when trying to make friends or find places where everyone converges to talk about the big thing.
I'm using a lot of vagueness but I'm really not sure how to articulate what I want to say.

nah i get ya, and it absolutely is not just a you problem, things are objectively worse right now.
i would say it more like, there is an oversaturation, to the point that there is nothing for everyone to do. before there were memes and fads and animus everyone was watching. now its... what. making fun of 67? good things still exist, but its not the same at all.

it doesn't help that the internet has more polarizing in last 10 years you can't have different opinions without getting into a shit flinging with no common ground. it's suck because some of the nicest people i've met where thorough 4chan which they don't stick around for very long
