i'm still alive

anyone down for an art trade?

]]> ~kuroshi http://kuroshi.deviantart.com/journal/28306019/ http://kuroshi.deviantart.com/journal/28306019/ Thu, 12 Nov 2009 13:08:18 PST If anyone's interested, I can post times I plan to have it up and running here.


Here's a link to what I'm working on at present. [link]
In the meantime, check back now and then if you're curious: [link]


ALSO: I submitted to peer pressure like any normal person under such duress might and got a Twitter. I am embarrassed and ashamed of myself, not entirely sure how much I'll actually update it, but what the hell, why not? [link]

OC Meme for Usury!

Will update it as I go, as I've been doing, but it's been good practice thusfar with the added bonus of being able to put a face to the characters I write about. Baller.

Wish I drew more kawaii animes so I could get more commissions. My car is broken. Shitdicks, man.

90% OF POPULAR PHOTOGRAPHERS ON DA
Why, you ask? Because they bank on three things:
1. At least eight thousand self-portraits of their face, Photoshopped into oblivion, with such pretentious shit as "earth fairy" (a variation in green, of course) and "nightmare" (a ~*~dark~*~ picture). They're usually pretty girls, but apparently nobody deserves the time and attention of countless hours of applying filters and airbrushing away imperfections quite like they do. Personally, I think it's one giant self-wankfest for the sole purpose of gaining commentary like "OMG GORGEOUS "

2. At least EIGHTEEN BILLION MILLION JILLION FUCKTRILLION pictures...of eyes. I like eyes as much as the next person, but when your abilities extend only to eyes and their photoshopped variants thereof, it's kind of like being the Mary Sue of the artworld. OMG LOK HOW PRITY AND SPESHUL MAI EYEZ R IN COMPARISON WITH EVERY1 ELSE'S!!1/

3. Nudes. If I had a nickel for every picture of a pretty (and sometimes not-so-pretty) woman's thong-clad ass in a fisheye lens, I would be able to not only buy this place, but I'd also be able to kick said artists off the website.
On that note, this is especially irritating when the photographer is
- A: Also the model
- B: A man whose portfolio also includes a whole smorgasbord of blatant twat-shots, women on their hands and knees with their ass in the air, and pseudo-orgasmic faces painted blandly on women who appear as if they've been masturbating to the face of Larry King for at least eighteen hours.
DISCLAIMER TO THE NONEXISTENT FLAMERS THAT WILL NEVER READ THIS: I have nothing against artistic nudes. I love artistic nudes. I find them not only visually pleasing when they are -- well, ARTISTICALLY done -- but I also find they make an awesome reference when I'm practicing figure drawing. Forcing a 1024x768px, gargantuan pussy at me via interweb is hardly new, hardly original, and hardly impressive.


98% OF ANIME ARTISTS
1. It's NOT 'just your style' and it's not a valid excuse for blatantly ignoring poor design and neglecting anatomical disasters. My own skills aren't perfect, but I'm not hiding behind my affinity for sucking Japan's cock in order to protect my flaws.

2. So let me get this straight. I think I've got the formula down, correct me if I'm wrong:

- 1. Use a bland, carbon-copy style
==1a. Give it tits AND/OR
==2b. Make it blatantly prepubescent AND/OR
==3c. Make it some kind animal or inanimate object with a kawaii face on it
- 2. Put any combination of the word 'chibi', 'kawaii', and/or some reference to a popular anime/manga character in the title.
- 3. ????
- 4. PROFIT/FRONT PAGE OF DA!!!

I've seen so many talented, underrepresented artists on here whose work truly deserves to be recognized and instead I am forced to see another supa supa kawaii chibi neko-chan piece of pedobait with big fucking sparkly eyes show up on the front page with 3058305 +favs, but no actual comments of substance.


SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH.

The next will land on 10k, so be on the lookout!

===========================================

Critique on all of my pieces is always welcome and appreciated. I always try to return critique for critique.
If you ever want advice or an opinion on a piece of art, please feel free to note me with the link and your request and I will happily help you out.
Good artistic karma is good.

===========================================

In other news I've been especially productive lately. I'm really happy with myself for that.
I do, however, need a new coloring technique.

2: Motivation is waning. Going to start taking requests soon for things to draw. This seems to be the only time anybody takes any interest in what I do anyway, so why not.

3: Summer is slow. Guhhhh.

]]> ~kuroshi http://kuroshi.deviantart.com/journal/25508132/ http://kuroshi.deviantart.com/journal/25508132/ Wed, 24 Jun 2009 01:26:37 PDT Are you shocked?
You should be.

I'm hoping this summer will yield a lot more results to come, as well.
I've finally invested in a 3-month dA subscript in hopes that I will perhaps be motivated to create art to fill it with.


A note about critique:
I try to make it a habit to search out at least three other artists on here to critique every day.
I also try to exchange comment for comment on artwork and I am ALWAYS open to constructive crits, so please feel free.

There's nothing I hate more than artists who neglect the basics (anatomy, perspective, etc.) and cover up critique with "IT'S JUST MY STYLE STFU LEAVE ME ALONE".
Style is formed when an artist manipulates these basics to reflect their own tastes.
However, you cannot manipulate these basics until you at least have a slight understanding of them. You have to know the rules before you can break them. Get it?

I am trying to improve. I am not conceited about my work. I know I can get better.
Hit me with your honesty. I'll appreciate it.

Kiriban on 9k and 10k hits.

I'm winding down my last year of college, so I will hopefully have more coming as I look forward to a productive summer of making art followed up by preparing for my first gallery exhibition back at the uni.

Stay tuned.

Which means that when I think I'm productive in my art, it's true that I am, but then it's also true that I fail harder when I lose inspiration right away! Har har.
Sorry, a little sociology joke there.

Things are good. I'm producing a tiny bit of art again when I find the time/inspiration, which isn't often at all.

Ask me about my weiner.

Je pense qu'il est un peu drole que les personnes de mes memoires retournent de ma vie...Les memes personnes que je jurait de ne parler jamais encore. (Je ne suis pas sur si cette phrase est correct, mais je connais...) Une personne en particulier.
Je risais a son personalite, le facon qu'il changait. J'etais en colere a lui parce qu'il ne me parlait pas comme une personne. Il me utilisait seul comme quelque chose pour ses problemes stupides et enfin, j'en avais jusqu'ici. (Merci a Madame Kaplan pour cette phrase!)



Je ne sais pas ce que j'essaie de dire, actuellement, mais...hm. Je ne sais pas. Je pense que je verrai ce que ce passera dans le futur.

I don't really care if people love it or hate it, because it's mostly for me 8D

More soon.

PRICING :

[b]Chibi[/b]
$2 inked, $5 colored
[i]For additional chars...[/i]
Add $0.50 for inked, $1 for colored.
------------------------------------------

[b]Full character commissions[/b] :

So I basically suck at gauging prices.
A lot of times, I underestimate the amount of time it will take me to complete a given picture.
HOWEVER, I do try to follow a pattern like so...

Full color :
Full body - $20 [i]+$15 for the first additional character, $10 after that[/i]
Shoulders & up - $15 [i]+$10 for the first additional character, $8 after that[/i]
Waist & up - $10 [i]+$8 for the first additional character, $5 after that[/i]
Headshot - $5 [i]+$5 for the first additional character, $3 after that[/i]

All prices are pretty negotiable and I'm usually pretty liberal about giving discounts on larger/more complex commissions. Just ask!

-------------------------------------------------------------

If there's something not listed that you might be interested in commissioning, just ask.
I've done tattoos, computer graphics, and t-shirt designs most commonly in the past, but I can also do forum sigs and traditional media, all that kind of thing.

I can be contacted in these ways --

DeviantArt -- PM me or leave a comment here
Gaia Online -- LaTigre
AIM -- aquescent (please let me know you're adding/messaging me...my buddy list is set to private)
e-mail / MSN -- cardboardhearts@hotmail.com

I'm cleaning and submitting and generally trying to get back to being active here again, especially as I prepare myself for commissions.

Borrowed & Le Seul Endroit both come in print form now.
I wish they were bigger, but c'est la vie, I suppose.

More art soon, hopefully?

still not submitting anything.



yes, i've been drawing, yes i still cg things now and then.
no, i will not post anything new.

everything i do now has been removed from largely public spaces such as deviantart, though i have a feeling my next big project will be put on here. it will hopefully be greater than "Borrowed" in skill and looks. i have ideas forming. i've been working hard to get a different look and style.

thanks to the few who still stop in and see my old stuff. thanks for the kind words and concern.
i appreciate the praise, although i don't really feel like anything in this gallery (with the exception of "borrowed") really shows my best. modesty is awesome.

anyways, i'm still alive! i still have my stalkerwatch, albeit i don't comment much.
i check my DA every few days to see art and i like to see how others have grown as artists, as well.

try and have a non-sucky christmas. make a resolution to never make resolutions. shit and stuff. floss. plastic sheets.


always,

Yeah. That's right. Inspiration. From RO, nonetheless, considering I'm addicted and have withdrawls when I'm not playing it. Really eats into my social life X3

Though I can't scan it (coughNOSCANNERcough), and I can't wait for christmas to POTENTIALLY get one, I may try to trace it. Maybe.

I have sorta found a style. It's more of a step back, actually, because the eyes resemble how I used to draw (I haven't ever scanned anything that old), though my anatomy and junk have gotten tons better so it's not so obvious.

After Drawing class is done this semester (insert giant emo tear here) and I have (HOPEFULLY) gotten a scanner, I should have tons more from that class. W00t.

Yeah, it's been a good couple of days. Hope things will stay this way. ]]> ~kuroshi http://kuroshi.deviantart.com/journal/1507358/ http://kuroshi.deviantart.com/journal/1507358/ Mon, 08 Dec 2003 15:04:00 PST
I'm on the verge of just fucking leaving this gallery be all together so I don't disappoint myself so much.

Fuck, I don't know anymore.

Sometimes I don't feel like this is all worth my tears and goddamn frustration. I need another way. I'm suffering artistic suicide. Get me a fucking pill...a sedative...anything. I don't know how to draw anymore.

I'm sure you're all so proud.

What a coincidence, the song "Blue" by A Perfect Circle just came on.


Cause I never quite learned how to swim

I just didn't want to know
Didn't want
Didn't want
Didn't want
Didn't want

Close my eyes just to look at you
Taken by the seamless vision
I close my eyes
Ignore the smoke
Ignore the smoke
Ignore the smoke

Call it aftermath, she's turning blue
Such a lovely color for you
Call it aftermath, she's turning blue
While I just sit and stare at you

Because I don't want to know

I didn't want to know
I just didn't want to know
I just didn't want

Mistook their nods for an approval
Just ignore the smoke and smile

Call it aftermath, she's turning blue
Such a lovely color for you
Call it aftermath, she's turning blue
Such a perfect color for your eyes
Call it aftermath, she's turning blue
Such a lovely color for you
Call it aftermath, she's turning blue
While I just sit and stare at you

I don't want to know
