There are several classes of people buying NFTs: >rich retards, particularly those who got rich from crypto and want to show off >poor retards who heard about it and don't want to miss out on what rich retards insist is bitcoin 2.0 >people running schemes, trading them between friends or solo to establish a fake price history to pump their own products >criminals using the variable values of the medium and the fact that they're not a currency to mask payments for illegal activity >institutions speculating with huge swathes of money to burn You can only really target the first two. I would probably be trying to make something that is quite distinct, not ugly and dedicate an effort to market it on Twitter and Reddit and other places, probably organize some kind of sales mechanism to create a sense of scarcity and pressure. Just listing it is not going to get you to 1.8m in sales like Stonetoss anymore, I think.

>>5142 and >>5161 are absolutely correct. You need to be popular or have good marketing to sell out a 5k items collection though. Flipping NFTs is easier for quick profit. The best way is to buy when bots sell them below mint. Favor the ones with rare attributes and good combinations. If you end up bagholding just keep selling to yourself until a sucker falls for it. You need a starting capital of at least $10k to flip comfortably. Stick to this strategy and you will become homeless with massive debt in no time (and that is a good thing!)

Lurking is fine. Sorry about the board looking ridiculous, I'm hoping the 8chan admins change it soon, I can't see shit. I wish they would think of a more subtle way to announce this site's birthday than completely destroying the usability of our board but it is what it is for now. >criticism You are a very early beginner, you have too much work to do for individual criticism of these pieces of drawing and photo editing to be of any value to you. You need to work on the basics and build complexity from there, but I don't want to discourage you from playing around and doing personal work either.

If you want to learn more about anatomy specifically, see the practice thread and look into some of the resources there. There are some good 3D models and some books on anatomy and figure drawing in the sticky that may be applicable.

>>4771 if you actually tried to show more of the body of you characters, people could critque what you've drawn. Proko - JewTube channel watch his anatomy playlist and study after watching a video. That should kwept you busy for a few months, after which your atuff should look significantly more realistic. You don't need to draw muscle men for anatomy to be really useful, because it still has a great deal of impact on the outline and contours of soft body types. sage for creating a thread that could've been avoided using the QTDDTOT-thread.

These here are from old /loomis/ right?

>>4501 Maybe from long, long ago.

>>3992 I would not buy NFTs and >1000USD is not really a small amount of money.

>>3993 I was talking an average judging by what is usually spent in famous creators, but ok, what kind of NFT related content calls your atention the most? sport players NFTs, collectibles, 3D renders...? Also consider that some of them include meet and greets with celebrities or limited edition products like shoes

>>3991 If you are serious about making money through nfts I suggest looking into shill packages by pro shillers. It takes at least $10k in marketing for a successful nft launch though so if you can't even afford 0.5 ETH you should forget about it.

I don't know if /loomis/ is purely digital but I just started with oil paint (i mean absolute utter shit tier novice) after sticking to dry techniques all my life. Anyone got any advice because so far its really fucking hard for me.

>>3835 If you're a super novice, but used to dry mediums, you'd probably immensely benefit from learning basic underpainting/overpainting techniques. There are a bunch of schools for how to actually underpaint and what that does, but at the end of the day >the underpaint provides a guide for the overpaint >you should never have to fight the underpaint Once you have a strong underpainting basis you can experiment with one oil painting for indefinite amount of time until it is "right".

>>3837 Honestly these obvious revelations I'm going through right now. I mean, its honestly very fun, but I feel like there is more learning than actual creating and my canvas looks like a shitpickle. Maybe My initial concept is way ahead of my skill level but I want to see it through and a learning experience.

>>3775 You sell NFTs like you would actual physical paintings. You're either promoting it on your own or paying some other smuck to offload it for you. I recommend having actually interesting art and growing your base organically if you don't have the funds to artificially promote. Just think of it like this, if someone were buying a physical painting from you, why should they buy *your* shit specifically?

>>3776 Where the fuck do I promote it then, like I said I hate social media. Fuck do I just print it out with a QR code and illegally put it up on my streets?

>>3779 >I hate social media Tough shit because that's a pretty normalfag way of doing it. >Fuck do I just print it out with a QR code and illegally put it up on my streets? Sure, why the fuck not? Better than doing fucking nothing like you currently are. Why should anyone give a shit about you? Give them a reason to give a shit about you.

New thread, sorry for the delay: >>3859

I've still have a long way to go, trying to construct shapes in the form of a human is difficult

shitty loomis heads for the sake of loomis and this platform time to become an active loomis fag

>>3733 Fuck webp

>>3733 >>3735 >>3736 use of webp has increased extremely slowly since it was created, mostly by large technology companies who care about bandwidth. since nobody in real life has heard of it and some other big companies don't care e.g. microsoft (windows) and adobe (photoshop) lots of normalfags can't view or edit webp without using a web browser, if they even know to do that. this lack of support and "brand awareness" for has caused the adverse reaction seen in this thread to be extremely common. e.g. "what is this gay webp shit that i can't open in photoshop?" the situation would probably be the same for webm but it isn't because imo of 4chan starting to accept webm in ~2014. the video formats webm supports, vp8 and vp9 (and av1 now) have no hardware encoding/decoding support (meaning they're very slow) and it took years for windows to support it and idk if adobe has yet still. all these things would lead to webm being hated by normalfags, but the name is well known so it isn't. by normalfags i mean everyone who isn't into this stuff and uses videos/images purely pragmatically. no offense to the normalfags itt.

>>3741 I don't like it because I have to save it as a different format if I were to upload it to a site. Simple as

>>2480 Don't just trace mang

>>2495 there we go

Cleaning service? Delete this thread please?

>>2593 But how will I see how much more retarded this can get if I don't bite?

>>2595 >1.20 MB Fuck me I did it again.

>>2532 looking for articles like this maybe

>>2534 Kind of looks like Framed Ink but I think that's a One Piece character so idk

>>2535 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curvilinear_perspective sorry i mean this link i forgot to post. links like wiki that explains the constrcutions of variety of objects or simple shapes in perspective or 3d form

>>2473 what ugly menace

>>2446 Who's this autistic dipshit? I actually answered some of his questions, before realizing he's created three new threads on the same topic, while there's already a QTDDTOT-Thread.

>>2446 >>2448 >>2454 >>2458 >>2462 >>2469 >>2475 kill yourself

>>2490 https://archive.org/details/Scott_Robertson_How_To_Draw/mode/2up

>>2492 whats with the icons >scoro oh yeah. good stuff, basically iterations of al the basic stuffs. very cool, but nothing new to me. lots of linear perspectives... but i cant find curves in the book good share, do you know anything else like that?

new thread for easier read https://8chan.moe/loomis/res/2491.html#q2491

>>2375 last time i check to god it told me to work hard thru the priests and not just pray and hope, and now the commies are here seems all my hard work and praying doesnt amount to anything so i need more clarification now lol

>>2382 >has enough faith to personally receive divine word directly yet believes that the work of man and the devil prevail against him GTFO

>>2456 it was the priest

>>2359 Your post is hard to follow, but I think I understand what you're asking. It's good if you have an idea that you really like, but I also think it's important to be able to detach yourself from the idea. If the idea is naturally changing itself from one form into the other, try to put aside any personal attachment and ask: is it changing for the better or worse? It might be that the new idea has the parts of the old idea that you like, but also adds something else you prefer. Maybe it discards some part of the old idea that wasn't very good. I think this is a relevant interview for the discussion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4b9YuMIwXk Between the 35 minute to 50 minute mark, the topic of leaving projects behind comes up. There's nothing wrong with taking an idea, working on it and doing something with it, and then just stopping. It might be a really good idea, it's probably not the best idea you'll ever have, and it's definitely not gonna be the last one you have. I think it's good motivation to know that you haven't yet had your best ideas. But if you get stuck on the same idea for too long, you end up stalling when you could move on to better ideas. Also, I'd recommend listening to the whole interview. I think it's pretty good, and Psychicpebbles has some good insight into working creatively.

>>2361 aw man, good content, thanks i ll chek it out slowly. well i dont know about good idea, i get stuck easily with original idea because i dont have any solution to just move on to new things... it s not very easy for me. basically wanting your first move to be excellent to the crowd to ensure enough repeat business? does that make sense? like wanting batman to be a hit so superman can run or hoping that superman is a hit so you can do flash and also include supes in it? whst do you call this? anxiety? i have some ideas i really like and im not sure i know how to just change away from it. its terrible.
