made me realize how literally anything you find online has gone through at least one other person's eye before you find it, so how can it really inspire personal work unique to you?

man i just went outside and sketched a thing just based on what was there and it probably was the most inspired and fresh thing i did in months. i really should stop digging inspiration from the internet for personal stuff, forget that last request :D

the "it's not" was related to the requirement, not your comic

Hobitt

Jan Kloidt

it would be foolish to think that we could design things better that took thousands and sometimes millions of years ( nature) to be built/evolve

theres nothing wrong with taking real life stuff and slightly modifying it

17 Jun 00:55

I literally thought references from life meant: go walk outside and see what fits haha!

17 Jun 00:55

Jan Kloidt

oh right o_o still need to draw out my comic

17 Jun 00:55

Hobitt

--

17 Jun 00:54

John

i love space stuff hell my comic is space related, to do that ive bought books about machinery and space an copied every photo

17 Jun 00:53

John

It's hard to say get your reference from life at that point..

17 Jun 00:53

John

--

What if you're pressed for time and you need to design something space related?

17 Jun 00:53

Hobitt

--

also getting influnce from other art forms like music film photography fiction books is a good idea

@Hob:About design ideas, I don't think it's a mistake, like it's the most horrible thing you can do.

Jan Kloidt

maybe i'll just sit in a bus and drive around for a whole day :D

17 Jun 00:51

Hobitt
