In a place far, far away, there is a land of insane perversion.
It's called Japan. It's the origin of the weirdest porn on Earth.

It's what happens when you're at one end of the world and a neverending ocean on the other end!

I'm not it.

Maybe it is something to do with being nuked twice?

Devon, United Kingdom (Great Britain)

Clearly a made up place.

[Chyros]

Personally I mush prefer the term Devonshire. Makes it sound more British.

[General]

I will mush you in a minute

Jesus Christ, making art is fucking hard. I wish I could draw even just a little bit so I wouldn't have to bother with all this complicated stuff .

Noob.

I mean videos, no problem, but this drawing stuff is impossible .

Gonna be a weird composite painting in the end though! With paint pouring, paper cutouts, spray painting, and a little bit of hand-drawn lines. I can see how people lose all their time doing this .

[General]

Well, it will be an "art" if it is any consolation

Yeah it is! But it's fun once it comes together

Let's come together

Oh yeah, definitely .

[General]

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

I'll draw you in a minute.

[General]

Draw me like one of your french cones

Well, if you're offering; actually yes, I think you could be very helpful .

So, a bit of background. I'm creating a painting of a scene from.... let's call it a dream. I was in a nightclub at the centre of the universe — there were colours everywhere, and lots of gold. I was also surrounded by female figures made out of black light.

I'm making the painting using an acrylic pour (which I've done a bunch of times now) for the coloured background, and paper cutouts for the objects and people present, which I'm gonna glue on top of the painting. The reason I'm doing it like that is a) I can't draw for shit and b) it's almost impossible to draw or paint anything complicated on a pour painting.

I've got most of it down now; the pour painting is finished, I made the objects and everything, but the female figures are proving to be a problem.

The female figures I saw were kind of cartoony and had a cartoonishly big smile. They were floating around and wore a sort of crown of braided vines over their heads. I've looked through thousands of stock images but couldn't find one that fit it exactly. The closest I found was this:



I added the smile manually (the way I drew it is pretty much spot-on to what it looked like in the dream), and the crown of vines I'm gonna draw onto the thing manually as that's impossible to cut out properly. This figure I found is pretty close, including the right level of cartoonishness, but the hair didn't sweep upward as far as this, and she didn't have her arms hanging down like this, but out to the sides (more pointing into and out of the plane of the picture. Not straight into and out of the page, a little bit down and to the back, but not so directly in the plane of the picture like this. It was more like the wings on an airplane).

The picture I need is only going to be a solid black silhouette I'm gonna cut out, if necessary with some white lines to separate (overlapping) body parts like the arms, like this:

Spoiler

If you could draw me a black silhouette like what I described, that'd be great . I could cut it out and use that instead of that stock image! Let me know if you're up for it .

Hard art. Hart.

[Chyros]

Thanks, art. Thart.

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

Sounds like a job for AI art. Airt.

[General]

No wonder you couldn't do it because drawing human figures correctly from your mind requires very advanced skills (which i also lack) Most professional concept artists and illustrators i know use reference in their works!

I did a few thumbnail:


If one of them correct or close to what you have in mind, i can edit and make it bigger

[Chyros]

Thanks man . Glad to know I'm not the only one who thinks this is hard .

The pose is almost perfect on 4, but the figure looks too frightening and angular, particularly the head. It was really exactly the same as the example figure I posted, just with the arms in the pose of your figure 4, and with the hair swooped slightly less up. I drew over the hair just now and this is basically what the hair looked like, almost down to a T. Do you think you can redraw the example figure in 4's pose but leave the rest untouched? Like I said this example is really very close, just with the arms held wrong .
