Reverse image search turns up these from the same artist.

If anyone needs me, I'll be in my bunk.

Drinking bleach.

That first one is either a furry edit somebody made, or somebody paid RB to draw their fursona in there. I've seen it before and it was originally a human, pic related.

RB hates furries. They used to be in the furry community 20-something years ago (RB is like 40 or something) and drew that kind of art casually, but over the years drew less and less of it until they became actively hostile towards furries five or so years ago. They stopped doing commissions because of the weird shit furries paid them to draw.

Not too much going on today.

The week leading up to the event was quite busy, though.

Please come to 8chan.moe for all of your art shitposting needs, and come hang out in the drawpile sometime. Unfortunately due to persistent technical issues on 8kun we've essentially abandoned this board. Hope to see you there!

i was scrolling through the board list looking for a place to make a thread to dump my collection of corona chans that Ive saved and i thought id chime in with my opinion on what it'd take for me to buy or commission some art, maybe some drawfags will find it helpful.

Ive never cared about art in the slightest, Ive never once thought about what techniques were used in the art or how much skill was used to make it or how long it took to paint other than vague shallow shit like "damn that looks awesome" "i actually like this even though i don't know why" and other such thoughts. i suppose this was exacerbated by the fact that i only really use my computer and if i ever saw some image that i liked i could always just save it and use it as a background.

The only times i have ever considered buying art or commissioning art are the times when i have felt that it would be nice to own an original drawing or painting of something i love, something that i would take pleasure in looking at and something that would help me maintain that feeling of love for the subject of the painting.

thats just how i feel as an anon who's never had any art teaching or interest in creating art, i hope this is useful to other art anons.

what i would expect as a buyer and what i would do when looking to commission a piece of art:

>If i were to commission a piece id want it to be original and if i were to pay a couple hundred dollars or more for it, id expect it to be good

>i wouldn't put a time-limit on the commission because id be buying something I'd have on display and i figure the more time an artist has to work on it without stress the better it'll be in the end. its done when its done sort of thing.

>if i was going to pay for someone online to make it I'd use paypal so if they are plain shit or a scammer i could charge-back and tell them to fuckoff.

>i wouldn't be averse to paying upfront for a commission because if they are a scammer i can always charge-back. i would probably even throw in an incentive like if the arts really good and i like it a lot ill drop some morPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I feel like it looks good if I squint, but as soon as I fully open my eyes it looks really bad. I tried to follow a coloring tutorial but somehow I felt uncomfortable while doing it and just wanted to end the suffering.

Thanks, you're nice. One of my biggest weaknesses is clothing/shading. Thats why it looks like aluminum foil lol. I just got to keep practicing. I didn't draw an environment because tbh I just wanted to end it.

I liked this one a bit more. I feel less suicidal now

Iris Scanner? Or if you prefer the flat one, Canon scanners are alright. I have access of the bigger scanner that can scan a A2, so yeah.

>have been running an average of 18 miles a week for the past six months

Still worth it because of the looming civil war though

Yeah I think I'm not alone when I say I've had just about enough. The front page showing stuff from days, sometimes up to a week or more prior is nothing new and it's one of those things that could very well keep someone from posting to begin with seeing as it makes the board look (even) dead(er). Both that and not being able to make threads owing to some error or another in general on a fairly regular basis have been something I'd dealt with personally so I've been left wondering how it might have been affecting others.

Over the past day and across something like a five hour period I'd been pain-stakingly porting over much of the better content (content that, if not technically refined, is at least evidence of someone's struggle for artistic self-actualization) from this board over to https://www.8chan.moe/loomis (up next, archiving highlights from the drawthreads if not their entiretey, selecting some of the more detailed and valuable critiques to archive in their own thread, as well as some of the miscellaneous stuff like making a thread for anon's comic series and the "weekly drawthread" cards as many of them were pretty clever and had some effort put into them by their creator).

I appreciate 8kun for allowing us to reclaim a home here but the technical issues have unfortunately been significant and persistent from the beginning-enough so that it's a wonder that we've been able to hold on to what little activity we have. Decentralization is ultimately a good thing, the 8kun board isn't necessarily going anywhere and can function as a redoubt should anything happen to 8chan.moe or the other backup board on anon.cafe; having more options does nothing other than help facilitate this small community's longevity. I held out hope that all the technical issues would eventually simply vanish but, foolishly, I'd kept on hoping and eventually I think something like an entire year had slid by.

I will be making an official exodus sticky on sunday, at which point I should have ported over everything I'd felt warranted it and then some. Thanks for your contintued patiencePost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>finally starts migrating off this worthless buggy site

>.moe rn (right now)

JUST

Looks like it's back up. I'm pushing back the formal migration proceedings to next Sunday and in the meantime we'll see what happens. Given what several have said in the past I'm sure others are eager for this and will probably begin posting there much sooner and that's just fine; I'll be monitoring both boards for the foreseeable future while I migrate some of the content as well.
