i don't get it. why would you pretend to be a man if you are really a girl, isnt it more desirable the other way around? you get more positive attention from both sides
>>7959342 That reason exactly. Merit over natural advantage. Unfortunetly, females are too incapable of putting in a sustained effort to reach the same level of skill as a male.
If I change my streak to weekly once can I submit something before the timer is up as weekly again and will that reset it? Leaving on a trip soon and I don't want to lose my steak
>>7959465 I dont draw loli, but I can. I was just wondering. Also if you censor it then why bother posting it? I was just wonder what the rules were on the DAD site.
>>7959446 I would argue Trees is in a different creative category altogether and that while he isn't a technical display to behold, he is if nothing else very interesting.
>>7959475 Interesting in the way a lolcow is, maybe. We've got plenty of dads who dip into that oekaki style once in a while, the subject matter isn't above what a particularly inspired highschooler might doodle into the margins of their notebook.
>>7959479 >the subject matter isn't above what a particularly inspired highschooler might doodle into the margins of their notebook. I think it's a bit more than that, but why not.
>>7959481 If they were producing neat little inner worlds I wouldn't scoff at it.
>>7959485 Honestly i think the thing i look for most in art is just originality. Thats what im trying to do with my art, is just make it my own weird lil style thats unique to me
>>7959521 Yes but imo the degree of punishment is typically less than deserved. There should be no second offense if the first punishment is severe enough.
i had a nightmare i said something racist and got a 3 day ban and lost my page 1 status ALSO IM REALLY UPSET ULALA NUKED and my last archive was like a month ago fffffffffffffffffffffff
>>7959374 Every time I see this kid he's out of action with the shonen protagonist injury. Like he's on the bench recovering to build tension for the finale. Get my little nigga a senzu bean, chakra heal or recovery girl or something. Sheesh!
>>7959745 None of the guys MTD strike me as female posing as males quite the opposite, two MTD "females" seem very male like to me, maybe they're trans.
my fanart is getting traction on twitter but someone pointed out a mistake in the character design with a snarky reply. should I delete and post it again? feels fucking embarrassing either way
>>7959374 are you sure about the highlight on the shoulder on the left? i think if you made the skin closer in color to the background just a little bit around where you put the purple it could enhance the image, in my mind that highlight doesnt make sense, because the staff thing doesnt have depth
>>7959821 not from MTD but tb.h i do regret a bit not keeping quiet about it, not cause of attention or comments but because I sometimes want to draw more explicit stuff and I feel embarrassed when I know other DADs see my stuff/comment on it so I don't draw what i want. But that's more of a me problem.
>>7959342 Being a woman online generally attracts more criticism. If I pretend to be a man or am otherwise quiet about my gender, I can draw whatever weird shit I want. If I'm publicly a woman then that invites other women to be puritan whores and pearl clutch over the weird shit I like betraying womankind and it also attracts dudebros who seethe at women in general. And if I'm being really very honest the women on DAD just give me awful vibes. They all feel like fake positive normalshits
>gets dumped >immediately resorts to making a pedo shota vtuber model >i want to apologize to the first boy i held hands with because I was very cruel to him but i don't know how to find him on this gay earth pottery
>>7959885 Women are often fake, or mockingly nice. The idea is to lure you into a false sense of security. Women will do things like pretend to be your friend for decades for the sole purpose of making fun of you when your back is turned
>>7959921 Because it's a guy who likely has never had the genuine or in-genuine interest of a woman and wants to potentially crab other mens chances at love or gaining feminine attention
>>7959922 nah it reads more like the author mocks the three dudes with their overtly negative world view compared to the simple view the small blue guy has, subtlety, y'know?
>>7959905 I thought you were alright... Didn't you say at some point that you appreciate /DAD/ for being somewhere you feel comfortable? It's kind of sad to think you were only trying to appeal to the edgy men on the site. Cringe pickme behaviour to be honest.
>>7959942 You're proving my point. You're assuming I'm a woman you hold a grudge about or reservations against. You've likely been complimenting her or acting incredibly friendly all while thinking "No, she's a little weird, probably a 'cringe pickme'."
>>7959958 This desu, people that judge others they hardly know reek of insecurity. >You're assuming I'm a woman you hold a grudge about or reservations against Yeah because it's so hard to tell who you are, right? You submitted like half an hour ago dumbass
>>7959905 I don't know what limbo /DAD/ you've been posting on but i haven't seen any female DADs be "puritan whores" or pearl clutch over weird art on DAD.
>>7959977 >>7959958 I feel bad for whatever woman you're both thinking of. Women are catty and hateful towards other women, simple as. Cope all you need to
>>7959980 Hey, retard, do you struggle with reading? You called people fake positive normalshits for not publicly spazzing and being raised with manners. The woman or man or general mouthbreather I'm referring to is you.
It's the same guy from last thread, for the love of god stop replying to him, he has no life, this is his only joy in this thread to bait you retards into talking to him, CLOSE THE THREAD AND GO DRAW
You should try actually talking to some of these women sometime. There's no point in trying to assume, right? If there is one thing I have learned in life, it's that being an asocial retard that just makes first impressions and assumes from there is almost always incorrect. I am sure many of them would be open to having a chat in DMs about some niche interests you may share.
>>7960005 People are pretty similar to the point that you don't need to get an individualized experience to understand how they work.
In every country on Earth, all throughout time, an unkempt guy who smells like ass and is talking to himself probably isn't someone you should fuck with. Tall buff dudes are used to getting their way. Short ugly men who don't go outside are normally weird or somewhat autistic. Women who post or speak in an overly bright and bubbly register tend to be like poisonous dart frogs.
>>7960006 >>7960007 I used to think like that too when I was a miserable piece of shit, and then I learned to actually talk to people more and turns out everyone has an unexpected side to them.
>>7960045 The next time you see a guy talking to himself on the Subway and punching the air you should walk over and have a conversation. I'm sure he won't do anything you'll expect!
>>7960074 >draw a child's body >slap flabby tits onto it genuinely gross. if you erased the flabby tits you would have an image that would be right at home in lsg
>>7960109 Splanet is something between the damp warmth of a mother and rancid butthole/flab cheese. Fenja's work at its stinkiest smells like cigs and specifically two-day reused tights.
>>7959381 >>7959722 he has a condition pls understand :( >>7959797 Thank you for the feedback. I see what you are saying about the highlight on the shoulder and how that doesn't work with the overall values and depth. I will draw him again in a similar style and try to make the colors more harmonious (highlight white, yellow, red, light purple, maroon, warm deep brown) as well. I'll also try drawing more crutches to understand their form. >>7960074 nice
I can see how provoking someone you dislike enough to let them know could be more valuable than a number on an obscure website. A shame that what he wrote is so cringeworthy. At least it's legit gossip material for this general.
>>7960290 >I can see how provoking someone you dislike enough to let them know could be more valuable than a number on an obscure website. I think the only person he provoked was banana
Male Dads pick on Female Dads because they like them and visa versa. Did you know that? That there's just so many of you crushing on each other every day? It's just so darn freaking cute I could die.
>>7959839 everyone on the Internet is meaner than they are IRL. remember, the Internet is not a real place anon. >>7959930 right? I've been banned for posting model ref but jannies let this r9k shit go on and on? where's my lawyer... >>7959931 no preggo today. Comm is a hyperdick vs demoness OC girl. Pic related >>7960009 is tickle guy a known DAD or is it a mystery to everyone else as well? >>7960067 That's actually next in my queue, I got a mega hyperpreg Asuka comm (like building size) and a comm where the girl turns into a literal giant blimp >>7960105 nu-uh >>7960137 I am a fan of Fenja's military history art, I'd be down to draw some hessians, landsknechts or cuirassiers or something. >>7960305 I don't think my Dad crush knows who I am lol
>>7960622 do children's book illustrations maybe, wouldn't hurt to reach out to some kind of forum or website where people are looking for that kind of thing. I'm guessing if you do get some kind of work its going to be from old boomer women who are rich and want to do something artistic. It's a short term solution which may not work out but hey, there might be some potential in it
>>7960632 That would be fun. Im a blue collar worker by trade, im just shocked i cant find any work with all my experience its really disheartening. How would i go about doing that>?
>>7960636 I haven't done it myself but have heard people talking about it. My guess is there's work boards for it online for people who request artists. Like publisher sites or some other hobby site where they have forums for collaborations or work Another thing would just be making a fiverr account and promoting yourself as an illustrator for children's books, board games, whatever. I know for a fact that most normies don't know where to find artists, so they go on fiverr to find them. A relative of mine is a journalist who released a book and then wanted a graphic novel version so they went on fiverr to find someone and paid a lot of money. Put yourself out there with specific titles that people search for. AI might have screwed things a little bit with getting this kind of work but I wouldn't doubt that people are completely void for human art. Novice advice from me, good luck
