Hot drawing styles

[(Anonymous)]

I've noticed that some drawing styles are a turn off when used to draw 'hot' people or erotic stuff. I think I've seen other people express similar thoughts.

But I've also found that certain styles can be very good for that, and tend to make people look more attractive and therefore make sexy art more appealing.

If you're looking at erotic art, what drawing styles do you prefer?

Re: Hot drawing styles

[(Anonymous)]

I like a kind of messy, sketchy style? Sometimes people draw porn with these intensely clean lines and shiny people and it's kind of overwhelming.

Re: Hot drawing styles

[feotakahari]

I like stuff that gives a sense of mass and firmness to the bodies, as if they're real people whose shapes have been recreated. Rodin was great at this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kiss_(Rodin_sculpture)

Pet Peeves / Rants

[(Anonymous)]

Things that bother you, basically.

Re: Pet Peeves / Rants

[(Anonymous)]

Inspired by secret number 5, obviously: i really don't like the idea of giving numerical rankings to talk about how attractive people are, especially when people act like it's some objective all encompassing thing. It's so silly and limiting and cold.

Re: Pet Peeves / Rants

[(Anonymous)]

faux sympathy for people with "weird" names. It's a passive aggressive and very fake way of making fun of someone's name while pretending you feel sorry for them. Some people like their uncommon names.

Re: Pet Peeves / Rants

[(Anonymous)]

Internet lynch mobs.

Seriously. I don't give a fuck. I think it's gross no matter how terrible the person is. Especially when the lynch mob in question can translate into real life violence. There is nothing that pisses me off more than people who make Facebook posts or whatever condoning torture, violence, and murder, and act like somehow they are on an ethical high horse because the person in question is a criminal/not actually a criminal but said something offensive/whatever.

Re: Pet Peeves / Rants

[(Anonymous)]

People who constantly talk about trigger warnings, or people being triggered, when the term really doesn't apply. I've seen people laughing about how a bunch of other people were "triggered" because they were expressing disagreement with something in an article. Literally none of the disagree-ers had claimed to be triggered by anything. Of course the people calling them "triggered" didn't mean they actually were - it was more like they wanted to pretend the people disagreeing fit their silly image of some person (always a woman, usually obese, often dressed in some "alternative" style) who randomly starts yelling that's she's triggered.

So now all you have to do is disagree with someone, and someone will tell you you're claiming to be triggered, so everyone can yell at you for that.

And then there's my dad who heard the term microaggression, and will randomly accuse you (sarcastically) of using them when you're trying to talk about some normal thing. It's annoying as fuck.

People trying to talk to me when I got my headphones in. Let me pull one out at least!

Re: Pet Peeves / Rants

Channel hopping during commercial breaks, I'd rather just leave it on the same channel and go get a drink/go to the bathroom or whatever than risk missing something in the show I'm watching(it doesn't help that the people I know irl that do this cannot time the adverts correctly for shit and always end up going back to the show several minutes in).

And noisy eaters, or people that chew with their mouths open.

Re: Pet Peeves / Rants

[feotakahari]

I often see an argument that governments, newspapers, political parties, etc. frame their opponents as "the enemy" in a fundamentally contradictory way. On the one hand, "the enemy" is a threat that must be stopped, but on the other hand, "the enemy" consists of morons who do ridiculous things. The argument goes that one or both must be false, since morons aren't dangerous.

I think this argument underestimates how ridiculous cult-like organizations can become. Whether they're literal cults like the Manson family or just masses of shared hatred like the KKK, they often normalize all sorts of ridiculous beliefs and behavior that seem laughable to an outside perspective. They usually have no way to achieve the long-term goals they insist they're pursuing, but that doesn't make them any less dangerous when they lash out at people they see as blocking those goals.

I think in order to truly understand groups like ISIS, we need to recognize how ridiculous they can be. That doesn't mean disregarding all the harm they do, but rather putting that harm in perspective as they flail towards outsized goals that will never come to pass. Claiming that their silliness or their danger is all an invention of the government or the media is, well, silly.

People who use their highbeams on the interstate.

Dammit, there's plenty of light, and here you are, blinding me and everyone else unfortunate enough to be in front of you.

Webcomics with imperfect art

[(Anonymous)]

My friend has an awesome idea for a comic and she wants to do something with it but she's intimidated and thinks her art isn't good enough.

Does anybody know of some really good comics that they read despite the art style?

Packing!

[shortysc22]

I'm going on a trip and usually I pack far in advance (at least a day or two, sometimes a week). Not this time. I'm scrambling to get everything in order before I go now.

What's your packing style? Are you super organized? (I make lists so I don't forget anything) Or do you just throw everything together and hope for the best?

Games thread!

Fallen London

[vethica]

Anyone else play? My friend hooked me on this game a couple weeks ago, and I really did not expect to be as engrossed by it as I am. ;A; Here's my profile - I'd love to add any of you, if you're on there!

LYRICS GAME

[diet_poison]

Because this is my favorite.

Put your playlist on shuffle! List the first line or two of the first 10 tracks, and see who can guess them. Skip at your discretion if any songs are not in English, instrumental only, have the title in the first line(s), or have been guessed on this game before.

Mine in a reply!
