Reddit CEO: Apollo-Related Subreddit Blackouts 'Will Pass,' No Significant Revenue Impact So Far

Reply in thread

I dunno, I don't think this is going to stop tomorrow. It's appearing that this might be a permanent schism for a good chunk of Reddit.

Most of the complaints and fears about moving to lemmy, for me, seem a lot easier than it was made out to be. Even though communities are divided across instances, it seems pretty easy to find them, and it seems pretty easy to discover new communities.

I'm not that smart myself, and I figured out how to get on here fairly quickly. Getting on is pretty much like signing up for a reddit account once you know some of the main instances.

Thoughts on communities refusing to "go dark?"

I think we're seeing the beginnings of what I call the "Reddit Schism". Once the cats started appearing, it has become official. We are no longer redditors.

Our fruits have become soured, and have soured us, with the latest news from Reddit. Let us, the "lemons" move onto the welcoming arms of the federation!

Really hate my "style" and my anatomy is all over the place, can anyone help figure out where my weak spots are?

Your figures look flat because you're drawing what you think it should be rather than what it is.

I would recommend drawing through on the perspective and some practice with making figures out of simple geometric shapes.

Also, I'd consider getting one of those posing mannequins and an anatomy drawing book to give you more examples.

Your poses are somewhat complex from a perspective viewpoint (parts pointing and angles towards different planes). You may want to try some simpler poses like standing with arms down to get the basic proportions right.

I wouldn't beat yourself up too much though. The drawings do look good, and they look like they are painting a story, especially the second you posted.

You'll want more examples and studies to get better emotion out of the characters. It's amazing all of the body movements that happen when strong emotion is present that you may not notice without careful observation of similar studies.

Sometimes, the comic book style will be less detailed, like yours, to speed up panel draw time. You see this commonly on web comics for example. Not everything needs to be an anatomy figure book level of drawing
