On caricatures: I've seen some skilled public artists doing work usually 30 bucks

furries are basically naked animal human hybrids and that one in the image took about an hour altogether

If you have to factor design into the character art then the price is ridiculous

Question, is the character generator close to what a AD brief looks like? Or something similar to the Chows on ca?

i was doing caricatures for like 10 bucks that were inked and it was hard getting anyone to even pay that. not that Im great at caricatures but the general public dont want to pay jack shit for what they see as a simple drawing

so who commissions furries? Just individuals right? I cant imagine a company needing images of cat ladies showing their birth canals

Basically, if the question is "how to work for applibot", there's a specific non-philosophical answer (or several of them, but I hope you know what I mean)

28 Jan 11:39

Doolio

--

Guys, I agree with you:) I'm just saying that if you "aim for applibot" at one point of your journey (which shouldn't end at "aiming for applibot"), you might consider "applibotting yourself" in order to get that job as soon as possible. If that's your wish. Of course you are going to aim higher and you're going to develop the style and the inclination towards what you love.

yeah, that's way older philosophy. I think from ancient China:)

Mr. Toodles

<---- read first post, you just agreed with what john told me

28 Jan 11:36

Tatar88

--

the point is to always aim higher..

28 Jan 11:35

Doolio

--

When you are as good as those guys, you don't come to applibot, applibot comes to you. But at that point you don't really aim for applibot, you reached that level long ago:)

28 Jan 11:33

Doolio

--

But there are tens of applibot guys that are their backbone mid tier and they are insanely skilled.

28 Jan 11:32

By "let you do it" I mean call you first and beg you to illustrate their cards:D

Ah, yes, if you are Dave or Ruan Jia or someone like that, you would sell that card by being yourself, so they would gladly let you do it
