yeah, that's a thing that happens sometimes

thanks for informing me!

sometimes I like to do a reverse image search on something I've done and see how it's being used across the 'net
like
see what the Chinese 4chan is saying about it, for instance

a combination of me being annoyed about the "thanks for the fave" spam and the evangelizing signature


I didn't actually do it, though

that would have taken effort

and also would have ruined my system

I fave everything I download, because otherwise I might accidentally download it again

and even with fslint it's a pain to get rid of duplicate files

The thing with Homestuck is that it isn't very good (pacing! irrelevant crap -- excraposition! lolrandom! aaaaa!!!), but it is still pretty innovative in using new media to its full advantage. I remain hopeful that it will be a net positive influence on future creative works, in the long run.

As an example, I stopped reading Prequel (prequeladventure) even before the creator started drumming up drama for profit -- actually I just binged on the archives a couple of times and then never came back -- but in many ways it is Homestuck done somewhat more competently, what Homestuck might have been if Hussie had an editor to keep him in check. Or at least it was. Maybe it's declined in quality, or maybe I just happened to be feeling positive about things when I read it.

I can't really comment on the fandom. I know that they've produced some fairly decent fanworks, but of course nothing on the same scale as some of the more prolific fandoms. The fantroll thing is pretty stupid, but hey, whatcha gonna do? Oh, wait. That was your question.
Hm.

Your options seem to be:
* Run around screaming, "lol Homestuck is the Ulysses of the Internet! The memebase guy told me so on PBS's Youtube Thing!" though personally I prefer the Ulysses of Pone, Αλεκτρονα . It's far better at the unnecessarily verbose, overly-complicated, inscrutably dense literary self-indulgence part of being Ulysses than Homestuck is.

* Find peace in the knowledge that at the very least, Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff is pretty cool. Swag, as they might say.

* Make me a sammich. Or cake. If I am Fandom Princess Celestia then I must be obsessed with cake. Or tea

Thank you sir, but this does not in any way solve the issues I have with homestuckers at conventions. The fact that they're a very very young fanbase means that they are not only ignorant but kind of abrasive. -here's me not understanding the appeal-

All of them? I doubt you want all of them. I have an archived tarball of all of my old art folders but its size is on the order of gigabytes (with work files) and some of it is pretty terrible in all senses of the word.

I have been thinking for long time, and I'm still not sure if I want them. You could send your old, complete drawings, which were featured on your DA.

Also I would be greatyfull if you could tech me how to lineart. Which brush i should use, etc. Actually I'm making not-so-bad sketches and really, really, really terrible linearts :C.

HereticalRants In reply to Yarwis [2014-01-25 18:10:25 +0000 UTC]

I'm not good at lineart either! And the sketch always feels like it has more life to it than the lines.

When doing lineart, don't worry so much about following the sketch - making lineart is basically redrawing everything. It helps to have the sketch really light/low opacity so that you can barely see it and in a different color.

If you just want cleaner lines, there are several tools for that. It doesn't really matter what program you use. MyPaint has several "delayed ink" brushes that smooth out tablet input. Paint Tool SAI has a feature that does the same thing, and also some very nice vector options. GIMP, Photoshop, and Flash have a line/"pen" tool, or you can "stroke" paths (easy to do with a mouse, too).
