Porn, bad videogames, comic book writing, and more porn. Mostly porn.

Cultural consumption with tepid enthusiasm and a plethora of phalluses falling from the sky, a monsoon of monster bulges that not even the most enlightened and lascivious of prophets could have possibly hoped or wanted to foresaw.

Also art.

Drop whatever the fuck it is you're doing, because you all need to play this. As a sanctuary of Art, this is where it belongs.

That sure was cool of me to ask a question and then check out for a couple of days, lol. Sorry.
On the subject of payed work and collaboration, I'm glad things run smoothly. Generally everywhere else, if you're not setting ground rules and basically setting up a work environment where your clientele is coming to you, you get fucked pretty hardcore. Not to mention that sometimes there doesn't have to be a middle man involved; deviant art's point system is just as insulting and unsustainable as it's always been. I just hope a lot of these budding artists know to get payed first, get payed with fucking money, then perform your agreed upon task. I've learned that lesson too many times.

On the subject of collabs falling apart, I know where that's coming from too. Not at all from the perspective of any type of work common to newgrounds, but I've constantly been trying to work with friends to make comic books and musical projects happen. And of course it always starts cool, but once the adrenaline wears off, the reality of "I was the only one who was truly devoted to this" sets in, and it sort of just dissipates from there. And not to sound egotistical, but at the end of the day, I would usually just be in a room full of idea guys, and I'm the only one with any actual drive to make the thing happen. Which is a huge bummer, because I love collaborating with other artists, but it's always so much more efficient to just bite the bullet and do everything yourself. Not so much with things like game design, and other forms of media that require big scale teams. But even game design, I feel like every person you're adding, you're cutting the original vision in halves. Perhaps that's a bit cynical of me.

Anybody know of some good figure drawing resources? I'm getting kind of sick of Posemaniacs and their ONE female model and TWO male ones.

I vary between the two sites Quickposes and Pixelovely.

Quickposes has a larger picture base, allows custom time intervals, and tracks your progress rewarding diplomas.
Some of the pictures are of low quality though, both in terms of resolution and in terms of usable/interesting poses.

Pixelovely has overall better quality pictures, has a very cool "class mode", and has hands/feet, and animal references.
It's tinier library means you'll run into the same pictures a lot though, especially for the categories other than poses.

There's also sketchdaily, but I've never tried it so if you do, let me know if it's any good. Alternatively you can download your own images, and use a program like XnView which allows for custom time intervals for their slideshow function. That way you get to choose your own images, and also lets you do gesture drawings when the internet's not being very cooperative (which happens a lot for me)
