Thinking about that Miyazaki quote about creators of anime nowadays being primarily people who just watch anime and not getting external influences outside of anime in comparison to Uematsu growing up deeply on prog, psychedelic, and electronic music.

Uematsu is right

Iconic Final Fantasy composer complains that game music is “getting less weird” as “directors and producers hold too much power”

Iconic game composer Nobuo Uematsu discusses the "boring" state of modern video game music that fails to evolve.

just pick another hobby if you don't actually enjoy drawing

(and getting social media clout is not a hobby btw, go in a bar and try to do stand-up if you need attention)

Chris Shehan_Comic Art @chrisshehanart.bsky.social · Sep 3

Every artist I’ve ever known has this itch to create that won’t go away until they create. They have to do it.

It’s why I know the “finally, someone like me can make art” AI users are full of shit. What they really mean is “finally, a way to get social media likes without hard work”.

Your reminder that 99.99% of the artists you interact with are sustained by a second job or spouse/family, and followers do not actually translate directly to dollars

"Bluesky is boring."

Social media *should* be boring. Being algorithm and dopamine poisoned is bad, actually.

When your feed dries up for the day, that's your cue to go do something else until new stuff shows up later.

ice soup because I'm too afraid to commit to how to start the story so it gets indefinitely remade and redrawn until my undecisiveness gets out and i can pick ingredients and start cooking

Comic creators, what does your comic taste like?

I'll start - Opportunities is a crisp gingerbread, served with vanilla ice cream and Kahlua 😂

Been a year. Time to repost this.

YOUR PORTFOLIO CRIT
THINGS I'D TELL YOU IF I WERE LOOKING AT YOUR WORK IN PERSON
1 Violating the 180 degree rule makes this sequence hard to follow
2 A few more incidental overlaps will make this foreshortening clearer
3 Symmetrical compositions with a character dead center imply an important moment. Don't draw every panel like that?
4 This __ looks kind of fake. Take the time to look at reference instead of just making it up
5 An establishing shot will help the reader understand where this takes place.
6 Find a life-drawing session to attend, or practice from photos online.
7 Show these pages to someone who doesn't know the story and ask them to tell the story back to you.
8. Nudge this part over a bit to eliminate that tangency.
9 You flattened out the depth by rendering the foreground, middle ground, & background with the same values. Create depth and direct the eye by organizing them into overlapping planes of light & dark.
10 there are better ways to use your time than rendering every brick.
11 these characters look like they're floating (or falling). Draw figures and bg from the same eye level.
12 Unless this will be a wordless comic, leave more room for the lettering

what's your artist "red flag" ? 🚩

I have perfectionism and inferiority-superiority complex to the point I refuse to post anything but my best work (and will rework everything until it looks correct and overdo my commissions)

(it's not a flex, it is really impacting my life negatively)

What's your artist "red flag"? 🚩

I'm obsessive with spotting mistakes to the point where I flip my canvas left to right, and then upside down, and then zoom out and back while upside down and ou----

What's your artist "red flag"? 🚩

I'm never satisfied with leaving things as just a sketch or with flat colours. I always end up fully rendering everything 💀
