Description
TAKE THE CLASS HERE FOR ONLY $19Have you ever been curious how I design creatures, this is a comprehensive class going over just that. You will learn a lot of my tricks and steps to help deliver professional quality creature designs.
General Class Info:
- The class is divided up into 5 video lessons that you can watch whenever you have the time, no rush!
- Each video lesson has a few written steps accompanying it, these steps work together with the video to help deliver a strong learning experience.
- You may start a student project and show your work to the other students also participating. Students are encouraged to help each other out.
- You don't absolutely need Photoshop(or a comparable program), but it is recommended to get the full value. Many of the lessons taught can be applied to all mediums, but I do go over several steps that work only in digital media.
- You actually learn, here is just the result of one student's work from the class.

I'm thinking on taking this class, will i have access to videos after I buy it indefinitely or for a fixed amount of time?

If you buy the class outright then the lessons are yours forever. If you get a membership, my class and many others are only yours so long as you keep paying monthly.

Nevermind my last comment... very impressive, to make thousands of dollars teaching a skill that the students will pretty much never use! Unless they so happen to get famous, but what are the odds!

He isn't forcing anyone to take the class. Its people who want to learn to design creatures. It's a skill used all the time in art. What the hell is wrong with you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Never said anyone was forcing. Why did you say that?

someone's just bitter he doesn't have the chops to actually make money from art..
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
... and you DO realize that there are actually very small differences between "pro" and "not so pro" art, right?
You're also aware that minor changes can result in giant differences, right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Bitter? Not quite. I'm not interested in making money off art.
So, why'd you say that I'm bitter?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I realized that there's basically no money in art at all ever (unless you basically "hit the lotto" and become famous, in which case you may as well actually hit the lotto
If you no longer gave a fuck, I wouldn't expect you to bbe posting angry comments about other artists selling their services hey

He found a method of passive income, at which I'm angry? Actually, passive income is good.
So, you deciphered my mood based on text. How does that work?

Reading comprehension and an understanding of sarcasm?

I'll say it like this... imagine if you made money selling air. Thousands of dollars, selling bottles of air. I find that impressive... b/c you found a method by which it could happen.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I spent a month of my life getting that class together, it was one of the biggest projects I've undertaken. Its not like I put it together slapdash. Its selling a good product that helps others, its not really comparable to selling air.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
My point isn't that it was easy to make... just that you're selling something that people can get anyways, except they probably don't know how. I was at a convention talking to a pro. His advice was very weird. Paint like the old masters. What? Most people don't take a logical approach to art; I suspect they don't know how stepwise and calculated it actually is.
I'll also address your other comment (about horizon expansion) here. Long story short, I make comics which requires that I know how to draw anything that appears in the world. I just don't upload them to my gallery. Check this out... which gets more attention?
1. Showing a guy (anatomy + fashion) ghost riding a Reventon (vehicle design + proportions) shooting rockets (camera dynamics + special effects) at a 66 Corvette which is packaged in a story (writing)...
OR
2. Catwoman's tits
Understand... I once had dreams of making millions by myself. Horizon expansion? You'd be surprised.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Number 1 of those options would get way more views. If your gallery is any indication, you draw tits very awkwardly, and you're certainly not making it big with that plan. Maybe if you took more life drawing courses, your tit ability would be stronger, or at least if you did more photo studies. For god's sake, dude, learn was a real breast looks like, tits are not perfect circles.
You can learn almost anything on your own in the digital age, but it never hurts to have someone show you part of the way. Painting like the old masters is not weird advice at all, everyone knows that if they know a little about art. Strong foundations in life drawing is crucial.

Now that you're done scoffing at my art, you can scoff at a study that shows that fake breasts are more attractive.
www.academia.edu/2463857/Natur…
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I dont know if you actually read that study or not, but it does not support your argument. It says that fake breasts are often preferred, however they are the ones that appear more natural. What it does not say is attractive is shoving cantelopes under your skin like you portray them. You do not have the skill to portray fake breasts as looking like fake breasts, they look like a 13 year old drawing tits for the first time with no idea how they work. Unless you are skilled enough to make breasts look fake and not like poorly drawn tits, you should stick to real breasts. On that note, why the fuck would cat woman have elective surgery to hamper her abilities?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Uh huh. Fake breasts look different from one woman to the next. So what's the standard?
Also, a better question is: Why would Catwoman's breasts be an issue considering how strong she is depicted?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The standard are ones that done look like perfect circles.That kind only shows up when you google "bad boob jobs". Good boob jobs are ones where is it almost impossible to tell that they are fake, at least in clothing.

Also, be sure to let this popular chick (and others like her) that no one likes giant breasts. ariane-saint-amour.deviantart.…
No one.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Compare her popularity to another deviantART model susancoffey.deviantart.com/ and you'll see how many more people prefer her. The giant fake tit look is a fetish, there are plenty of people that like it, but it is a rather insignificant number compared to people who prefer regular looking breasts. There are also many people sexually aroused by feet or futanari. I'm not arguing that people all hate fake tits, I'm arguing that you dont know how to draw fake tits, you just draw tits that look like someone has never seen a breast before. It is why you have a very small following.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LOL okay, now I know that you have a weird confirmation bias. Ariane's watcher to pageview ratio is better than Susan's, since anybody can click on something while not really caring. Meanwhile, go ahead and show me some artists who do know how to draw fake tits, because there is a clear difference that you're not being clear about.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Now most good artist dont care for fake tits so you kinda have to scrape the bottom of the barrel, but this guy seems to know what he is doing armando-huerta.deviantart.com/ . Fake tits are a fringe fetish, so it is quite rare to see any decent artists drawing them on purpose. Also, watchers are not that indicative of how relevant you are, I have more watchers than both of them but less views than each. The simple fact is that more people prefer susan to ariane. You are a fetish artist, you are not a real artist.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I thought you'd bring up Armando, since he's an easy choice. The difference between his breasts and mine: a small bit of skin on the cleavage. Thus for the most part, he can't draw breasts either, right?
"...watchers are not that indicative of how relevant you are..." Then why do people click the watch button if not for them feeling you're relevant?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Because not everyone that visits your page has or wants a deviantART account. The difference between your work and armando's is a vast level of skill and experience. He clearly knows what a real breast looks like and prefers to draw fake ones. You dont exhibit the skill that makes it clear that you can draw real breasts but elect not to. They look like how a teenager draws tits because he has never touched real ones. It make you look like you are worse at drawing than you probably are.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The difference is a small flap of skin. You're not being specific. I am. You're "YouTubing": repeating yourself in slightly different ways while hoping that no one notices. I'm also detecting poetic/weaselly words; do you suppose I don't run into folks like you quite often??
For example. What the hell is a "real artist?" Art isn't a rigid thing. It changes over time. You may as well say that your art isn't real either, since you used Photoshop to make it... and the old masters didn't use Photoshop.
Besides...
"It is why you have a very small following."
"...watchers are not that indicative of how relevant you are..."
Uh huh.

What small flap of skin are you even talking about? Regardless, a small flap of skin can be vital, lips are just small flaps of skin. Armando does not draw perfect circle tits, they are more oblong. Real artist at the very least generally does not refer to fetishist artists. Also for a matter of fact, any artist worth a grain of salt can work in any medium and usually digital artists have done a lot of traditional work, including myself. You probably run into folks like me quite often because you are a fringe fetishist artist that seems somewhat bitter about successful artists. People like you pollute deviantART. For every decent or pro artist on here, there are 20 of you.

"What small flap of skin are you even talking about?" That's how small they are. armando-huerta.deviantart.com/… Right on the center region of the pair.
"Regardless, a small flap of skin can be vital..." Not if you haven't noticed them, I guess.
"Real artist at the very least generally does not refer to fetishist artists." Good, avoid the definition. It's not concrete, is it?
"You probably run into folks like me quite often..." People who can't argue, since logic isn't fun. Noticed the example of you not knowing how to argue that I gave right after? Stay tuned for another!
"...bitter about successful artists." You don't read. I'm not trying to make money off art. I already said that it's impressive to make money on something people can learn for free, and you've already agreed that it can be done for free. Stop changing your mind.
"People like you pollute deviantART." Aww, how poetic!
Again. Facts vs. Poetry. Just make it rhyme and complete the damn thing LOL!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh that, thats not a flap of skin, thats where the breast connects to the torso. Its kind of an important detail. Maybe you just dont know what flap means, allow me to enlighten you: "a flat piece of material that is attached to something on one side and that can be easily moved". People can learn to be anything for free, generally though, one of the perks to learning to do something involves making money from it. I'm not really sure why you keep using "poetic" as some derogatory term though. You debate like a child, which I guess should be no surprise as your work indicates a profound case of arrested development. You draw horrendously bad tits dude, just take the advice. I'm more experienced than you, I can draw better than you, people like my work more than yours, and frankly, just know more than you, just stop. I know it must hurt now, but if you take my advice, you might actually learn to draw someday.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No thanks, art really isn't that serious. Too time consuming overall. Considering how I never responded to your flimsy insults ("You debate like a child"... how ironic), you may have noticed that I really don't care. "I know it must hurt now," huh?
I asked what you meant b/c you made a point of saying all this stuff, but not going into details (ever). Guess what? I'm an ass man. SHEESH.

This is a debate I made clear I was done with when I blocked you. Switching accounts to finish an argument is a ban worthy offense. I am blocking you again and reporting you to deviantART.

Good to know. Thanks for the feedback!

Talk about rude ....
For starters 19 bucks is near free, and if you're from USA you should know (I'm not, but I'v seen some of the art students bill, not a laughing matter )
People actually can draw creatures and characters as a job, its a though as balls market but its entirely possible.
Also hey man, some of us just wanna have fun !
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's rude to be impressed?
About your fun comment... perhaps I too can charge people to do something they were going to do for free anyways. I once heard that the person who originally charged people for bottled water was doing it when people could get it for free anyways. Which also addresses your art school comment, as art school is clearly a cash in. There are reliable ways to learn for free.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
I'm not sure why you are so mad, yeah people pay for getting to learn new skills by someone else, its not a new thing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wait... If you're not sure WHY I'm mad, how are you sure THAT I am mad?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm very sure. You're comparing a skill that takes years to master with picking up an object and sticking it into the air.
By that you both downgrade your own abilities as you do others, do you really think that low of art ? Ofcourse you're going to reply' NO !' but if you didn't then you should have not compared drawing with bottling air. I'm pretty sure your own skill didn't take 5 minutes to accomplish, take some damn pride in your abilities.

You can learn well without art school sure, but art school does a lot more than simply learning. Its a whole experience, you gain contacts, you get access to ideas you normally wouldnt from older and wiser instructors. Without art school, I would be a far lesser artist.

Hm... so long as you do it without catching a large loan payback. Investments vs. expenditures.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
It's used more of a hobby... people do draw for fun you know...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Using it for fun, hm? Alright, do what you do!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Wait, what are you talking about? What does getting famous have anything to do with using creature design skills?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Unless these people are learning for fun (which I guess they are), their skills will not be useful toward becoming a pro. Creature design is a very small section of the types of things that a person has to know to make that cash... unless you become famous.
At that point, whatever you draw is automatically good.
