not do it with 'thick' lines. They're not even that thick, they're like like 2px wider than her so called thin lines.
She's overly concerned with the style of her animation rather than animating correctly. She's never going to be able to finish this thing. Shoulda just made a comic, since she's so 'professional'. Or maybe just
used a part of her paranormal plague comic so she could kill 2 birds w/one stone.
Oh well. Like I said before. She works harder, not smarter. whatever. crash and burn.

No. 527815
>>527198>>527228Holly just doesn't know how to draw children. They are just her regular megachin characters with a shorter forehead and a shorter jaw.
To make a character look more neotenous (like a child), you have to center their features towards the bottom half of their face. Give them a big forehead, slightly bigger eyes, and a smaller nose and mouth. Plus round cheeks and usually more pronounced ears.
Seems like Holly's thought process was "hm, how do I make the small face of a child? I'll just shave off some of the size of the head by making the chin and forehead small. That'll work! Nice and small!"
She did the exact same thing with his body. Looks like she just squashed an adult body until it looked short enough. Seriously Holly, how are you in art school…. no… how can you be a human being who has seen a child more than once in your life and think they are just shrunk adults with small chins?
She is so bad at character design, just so bad. Especially for someone who mainly draws their own original characters. You'd think if you're going to market mainly your own OCs you'd make them look good, but no.

>>527829This video probably influenced her in a bad way. She taught herself never to create a big forehead or a low-centered face because she thinks it makes her characters ugly. Holly really ever only draws boys she wants to fuck. She'll make her little boy characters "handsome", but in the end they just look like freakish twinks.
>>527953You can tell he's a little boy because Holly loves to draw young boys in booty shorts/bicycle spats.
Holly thinks male children are shrunken, feminine adults. Just shave their chins and make them dress like girls. Just look how she drew Damian in her webcomic. He wore booty shorts, thigh highs with a fucking garter belt, and a sailor uniform top.

Similar hair/personality.
No. 528993
>>528986The eyes have to be that close together because his face is so extremely narrow if they were any farther apart, he'd look like an ayylmao.
Many people mention Holly's problem with giant chins, but another problem she has is making the face and facial features too narrow. most of her characters either don't have cheeks or barely have cheeks. The side of their face is just a narrow, flat plane. Because she draws the face so narrow she has to make the eyes extremely close together. On adult characters you can stylistically get away with it (if you were actually good at drawing, however Holly is not), but on child characters it looks terrible.
The design on this character is really all over the place. Megaman style no-wrist arms? Usually your character is short and stubby with a rounded face, especially considering he's a child. And the hair? It just looks wrong. Is the right flap a bang or is it connected to the side part of his hair? It's too long and tall, looks like a crude play-dough bird that died and fell on someone's head. The turned up nose? it's too narrow, looks like a mickey mouse nose, it just needs to be painted black.
Let's not forget his short shorts, pink apron, giant bow, and long eyelashes. Holly wants to fuck these gussied-up little boy characters but isn't talented enough to draw them remotely sexy.

You can tell she was going for
-cute shota
-flat stylized anime hair
-thick limbs
-short shorts
-childlike appearance and face
Instead of making a cute tesuka/astroboy/old anime style cute young protagonist, Holly makes a freakish chimera. She is unable to stop drawing giant chinned paper dolls. She seems to be locked into a certain style of drawing as she only really knows how to create symbols of what she sees. She hasn't demonstrated once a knowledge of 3d space in her art. All of her drawings are very stiff, and all suffer from the same problems every single time.
Her having absolutely 0 sense of style also makes everything so much worse. The hair would look bad even if drawn properly, and the giant bow in the back? Completely ruins the silhouette and makes a lot of weird tangents/blobs that are hard to read.

No. 529428

Hopefully Holly will grow out of it. But if she’s into the shota side of things she might not. I’m not going to touch that psychological can of worms with a ten foot pole.
She also has weird hatred of females and in a sense herself. She may be projecting herself into her male characters. Possibly why she makes one super feminine, a wish of something she may want to be? Idk sage for Freudian nonsense.

perma virgin NEETs like holly have no idea how normal people act, much less men in general, much less gay men. her characters have as much depth as her art, but the only male characters who aren't obvious projections of her are a stereotype peeled from someone else's better creation. she's the primest example of why interaction with people is so integral to writing/drawing realistic people.

And yeah you can point out similarities and such but also I've seen so many artists who have similar styles (mainly because they influence each other and whatnot) and I don't really see the point of comparing one to another.
OT I still think comparing artists is bad and the underlying thought of "hey you're ripping off of x's style and I think you should. Reminded me of the gawki v feverworm problem and the two watercolor artists I follow back then (something which is something they should have solved in private tbh).
>>529051Wish she's tone down the weird anime hair and fucked up proportions. Also the background seemed flat to me. The framing and 'foreshortening' was bad too. Wish someone would do a fundamentals challenge.
>>529157The way she draws characters lacks depth and perspective. Like those eyes and hair at
>>529051. She didn't make an effort to make the other eye look smaller and the right side of the hair looks longer than the left side. At least the pic you posted had some depth to it despite it being anime style, something a lot of artists who only study from anime fail in doing.

>>529666>At least the pic you posted had some depth to it despite it being anime style, something a lot of artists who only study from anime fail in doing.Industry level anime artists actually understand the fundies and drawing in 3d space. Amateurs like Holly often rely on it as a crutch because it looks easy to do. Thus, anime style gets a bad reputation.
It actually takes a lot of skill to reduce/simplify forms in a drawing. Problem is, it looks so effortless that beginners don't understand the skill needed to actually get gud, and end up symbol drawing for years and years. It's deceptive, but there's no excuse to remain trash. Every single weaboo/anime artist is told constantly to study the fundies but it usually goes in one ear, out the other. Like Holly.

Honestly, she would benefit from reading some damn books, fuck social interactions, for now, the girl needs some actual knowledge in her brain.

>>530924I binge read it the other day as well. Although I'm not really a fan of the art style, at least I can tell that the artist knows how to draw. The characters don't look the same, and the poses never look stiff. There were a few earlier panels that were underwhelming, but overall, Long Exposure is an example of an artist who knows how to draw, even if I don't particularly care for her style.
Holly should read it and take note about the poses. That's my biggest gripe with her art, it doesn't matter how simple or complex her characters are, they always look unnatural and stiff. Hell, even when her characters are just standing still doing nothing, they still look so stiff.

That’s the holly way. I’m really sad because I know she will get this money too and I am saving up to buy this program for quite a long time but since I don’t shit money like her, I end up saving or using money for stuff that’s actually needed. Good job on buying a program you will not be able to use properly and shit on it before realising you only have to put effort into understanding the interface.
She’s such an hypocrite.

She needs to pick a lane and stay in it. Preferably
not animation. She'll animate half-ass for two days and then make a video acting like she knows everything there is to know about what animators need to do and get.
I think she
is a scam artist and really does need to be called out on her shit before more people get suckered into her schemes.

No, instead she shits on talented professional artists because she has one nitpick and suddenly that makes her art better. Holly is nowhere near the level these animators are at, instead she critiques a color they chose and now she thinks she can show them up because of this ONE thing she thinks she can do soooo much better.
Is this a cope? Does Holly think that only the most capable, special, and talented artists can critique industry professionals? Does she think because she can articulate the problem with and "fix" someone else's art she is better than them overall?

Holly doesn't want to draw things she considers unattractive. She sexualizes all of her characters, even for her school projects.
Since Holly doesn't know anything about skull morphology (considering she doesn't understand anything in 3d space, and also she copies a arty-city plastic skull), she concluded that to be non-white means that you have brown skin and a large nose.

No. 533661
>>532970Oh my fucking god… "It weirds me out when people draw nick white". Holly have you considered that when people draw human versions of the Zootopia characters they often pay attention to the species the character etc? Red foxes are from Eurasian origin and are often seen in more nordic environments. So it kinda makes a lot of sense for so many people to draw him white since… most people in those areas are white, especially in Europe.
And another big reason why people make him white is that zootopia human fan art often chooses the hair and eye color based on the fur and eye color in the movie to make it clear who the humanisation is supposed to be of. And seeing an african american guy with naturally red hair and bright green eyes is not very likely/common.
I'm not saying that he absolutely MUST be drawn white. I actually think it doesn't really matter, it's just fan art and as many others pointed out the movie left a lot up for interpretation. So people can draw him any color I don't care, but I just hate when people try to police how people are allowed to do their fan designs or in holly's case: trying to act all smart about it. Like do you want a medal or something??? Thank you for your oh so groundbreaking insight Holly!! <3
Ugh sorry for the rant but things like this really piss me off. Especially since holly's logic is so black and white (no pun intended lol) like "oh they had prejudice against him so he must be black durrrrr" God… Based on that logic fucking EVERYONE in the movie would be black.

So I just thought about it and came up with a couple of reasons why people make certain connections and design choices so often when it comes to this character. But yeah as I said: I don't like being a design police and people are allowed to draw whatever kind of characters they please. I just simply hated Holly's reaction to these things and maybe I looked a bit too deep into it since I personally really love character design and the thought process that goes into it and how different people approach it. But Holly seems to have a very flat approach when it comes to writing her characters or talking about other characters. Like she doesn't really care or give it any deeper thought.
But yeah I see how I made myself sound a bit silly with all this speculating.

>>533938she's always half-assing things, trying to pass it off as hard work while trying to cut corners,
while trying to turn a buck, and if it doesn't make money fast enough for her, she's on some other shit.
Art as a career is a slow game. A marathon. And if she keeps veering off track to do something else, she won't have accumulated any substantial work behind her to sell, much less mark as an accomplishment.
Besides her kickstarter for her first Purgatory book ( I almost typed Paranormal Plague, she has too many titles with "P's" in them), she's completed 0 projects. And even then, you can't really count Purgatory because that isn't done either.
And now she's mooching money for a program that costs $1500 that she'll probably ever only use once. What a sham. I wonder how long she'll be able to fool people. I know impostor syndrome is a thing for most artists, but, hot DAMN, is she an impostor, pretending to be a pro because she has physical things she bought with money. Not because she actually makes anything with it. Pisses me off.
How do you not actually make art with what you have. There's so many artists way less well off than her that make twice as much.

She just thinks "Oh that seems about right, these are good studies then" and posts them like 'see look how much I study".

No. 534533
>>534411She is… quite actually in the beginner stage of animation, and yet, she thinks she can tackle a full animation? How foolish can you be? The lip-sync isn't bad, and yeah, it's a practice, but you'd think someone trying to do a full little animated short would be beyond beginner's practice. But she isn't.
She's so caught up in proving how professional and skilled she is that she doesn't even bother to put in the effort to REALLY become that.
It reminds me of when I was, what, 8/9? I would hold my pencil really neat and try to sketch shapes/do that circle with cross-lines as a "foundation" and make VERY sketchy lines, because I wanted to seem skilled and professional. Did I know why some people did that? No. All I knew was that it was professional and so I tried it more and more and only realized how dumb it was when I saw the years many took to become how good they were, and that you wouldn't get anywhere by not knowing what the hell you're doing and why.
The only difference in that is that I was a child. Holly is in her 20s. And trying to tackle some stupid ass animation short when she has no prior real experience with animation. Incredible.
No. 534692
>>534664I don't even see the appeal in someone like her doing animation. Her comic work doesn't have any sense of action or flow to it, as evidenced by the first few pages of PP having dull movement despite the vine thing supposedly whipping Hershel around by the leg (one of the most movement based things I can think of).
I can understand comic artists like Tite Kubo or Stan Lee wanting animations of their work because it's all motion based and fight based. They can already convey motion in comics, but animation is just a step up since it's actually made for it.
All Holly does is plots full of talking, and her animations are just that too. On top of that, her style is too basic and doesn't stretch well, her characters look flat and not in the Bugs Bunny way, more like children's misconception of anatomy way. They have no weight or consistency, even in states of motion.
Why animate when you're obviously using the correct medium for talking heads already? Heck, a novel would be a better choice for her, since she likes telling stories and not putting in work into actually drawing them out.

She thinks her art has gotten better, meanwhile Purgatory used to have a good balance of black and white, and now it's overwhelmingly white and all the more boring to look at.

But again nothing in this is on model.
And those fucking paw hands, she never even tries to draw them, even in her “zootopia” piece they had mittens, and it’s seriously amazing how impaired she is at drawing hands without reference or tracing.
For the love of god holly watch a movie and stop at random and you’ll see that people have more expressions than the dream work smirk.

Like another anon has said, I think the premise or purgatory is really interesting, but it's just meandering along, 310 pages in and Simon made out with his boyfriend a lot, got molested and his Dad found out he's gay but had zero reaction to it, most of the activity of the cult has been off-screen and the story is barely moving.

might do rather than what they have
done which can fuck over a lot of other artists, especially if someone has a vendetta against them and finds out that San Japan takes reports based on what someone
might do seriously.

No. 538564
>>538558Yeah not really what I meant. Allow me to elaborate more:
She’s said in the past (and does it now too) that she grew up really poor; but I think the kind of poverty she’s referring to it’s not a
real issue. Even when she wasn’t big she used to buy food instead of cooking, and spend here and there. She never suffered hunger or had troubles paying for bill or rent, that’s what I meant. If working is a “plus”, it still doesn’t count as working because you NEED to. She WANTED to work part time and purposely quit to better focus on art. That’s a kind of luxury not everybody can afford to experience. If she really was that poor and couldn’t even buy potatoes to eat then she would think twice before splurging on random art programs.
No. 538573
>>538566Same anon you replied to. I grew up in similiar conditions: couldn’t afford money and all of my stuff was hand me downs, and that taught me money has a certain weight. Whenever I had money I used to save it for what really mattered and I kept using that attitude.
I put money on the side and spend only what I can afford. I give myself a self allowance basically, and never go out of that. I also think twice or more if a thing is really important to me, before wasting money on it, because that same money could buy me dinner or a pair of shoes.
I have a “spending problem” too, but I only consider what I CAN chew without taking damage on my savings, that I won’t necessarily have in one place forever, but end up using for serious stuff and emergencies.
I’m saging this blogpost, don’t worry, but what I wanted to point is that it’s not about “western” culture, as I am western as well. It’s how you deal with things.
If you spend like crazy and then complain you’re poor, I’m sorry but I would judge you too. And if all of your money was given to you without virtually no effort it’s easier to spend, I am assuming that you don’t go around asking for money to spend on stupid things you don’t really need, and usually you spend your own money. And usually one has money because of work. I can somehow see the difference, sorry if I can’t explain it better.
Tl;dr she’s Constantly whining about being poor while spending money she’s not supposed to have (if you’re poor, you can’t afford to buy what she buys in a month) and ASKS people to buy her a really pricey program. That’s beyond wanting a “revenge buy” attitude. That’s not knowing what money is and how it should be earned.

ratatouille (which she spells wrong every time) is definitely not as good as incredibles and she doesn't even like monsters, inc. ? she seems like a boring and grumpy person who doesn't stand for anything she doesn't love. i can't imagine if she ever has kids.

>>539325I was about to say the same thing. It’s eigher you get introduced by the studio or you say your name at the end of the report and usually you have logos and names displayed anyway.
Pic related is how hard she is working on that comic. It’s been ages and she only shat 6 pages (three of which were on like this summer?) and she didn’t even thumbnail 30 pages. And she wants this thing to be done by August? You’re supposed to know how many pages it will take to introduce a character, don’t you WRITE your script? 30 thumbnails are so easy to do, really, it takes a day tops If you’re loose enough. This makes me so mad because she thinks she’s a pro at comics and her fanbase think this is how you do it in the industry.
No. 539334

There's maybe twenty lazy/wrong choices/bizarre contradictions and beginning amateur mistakes in each panel but the "normally you'd have a logo displayed" kind of critique won't stick in this not-normal world
No. 539439
>>539365Sorry but this is something you can expect from people who actually PLAN their stuff and want the reader to notice the small details.
Sure, it’s a fictional world and sure normal rules might not apply to it, but in all honesty from how she’s dealing with pretty much everything and the premise of her comic (regular world with paranormal stuff) this is just another mistake because she doesn’t even watch news.
So in this universe your diners change size in every panel and it’s empty because invisible people work there? Come on. We both know it wasn’t a quirk detail, it’s just her not knowing better.

>>539365Haivng a comic or any piece of media set in an area people can identify with is all the more reason to give it some type of grounding. Sure, rules are meant to be broken, but only if you know them in the first place. these are all simple things people recognize in their daily lives and grounding your comic in some sort of reality that people can relate to is something to be considered once she starts laying down the 'rules' of the supernatural bits so that it suspends our disbelief as readers. If she can't keep either elements consistent, or at the very least believable she's failed, not just as an artist trying to portray her world, but as a storyteller.

Regarding the new Paranormal Plague pages, I'll start off with a positive and segue into a negative. I liked that Ash ate through all her fries and started eating Herschel's fries, it was a funny and subtle way to develop her character. However, I HATED how we see their food disappearing without any shots of them actually EATING, save for page 9 panel 6 (not shown here). And BECAUSE there are no shots of them eating and the food is just set dressing, I wouldn't be surprised if the great majority of readers missed the one thing that was actually funny here. The rest of the attempted jokes are complete garbage. Half of them are just plain unfunny, and the other half seem like a shitty recreation of muh japanese animes, completely forgetting that comedic timing in comics is nothing like in animation. The only joke here is Holly.

No. 539994
>>539920I didn't realize that she was eating his fries either, she could have easily drawn Ash putting a handful in her mouth in one of the panels where Hershel is talking.
I read the 9 pages again and it's still unclear what the relationship between Ash and Hershel is or what they do together, and she's already introduced two other characters that are probably going to be equally poorly developed. Pick up a book on writing Holly, it's useful for comics too, trust me.

No. 540000
>>539992How can someone be so dense? First of all I think she meant TV-14 because this is a tv show not a movie. Second of all from what we've seen so far this show could probably get away with a TV-PG rating if she stopped trying to be so edgy and only included 'adult' stuff when it was absolutely necessary.
Also she wants to 'challenge the audience'. Bitch how? Your show sounds like the most trite piece of garbage I've seen in a while. It's just a rehash of annoying tropes that you personally find amusing. There is no sustenance, no bigger picture and no need for you to have a TV-14 rating other than the fact you are too lazy to rewrite some inconsequential things so it would be appropriate for a younger audience.
No. 540067
>>540054Yeah the same way Dark Horse was supposed to publish Purgatory.
She will probably do the same thing: pitch her shitty unprofessional stuff here and there, and then proceed to create tons of videos in which she shits on the industry saying that doing things on your own is way better.
Also it enlarges your penis.
I remember when she was all excited about pitching Purgatory to various publishers and she got rejected from basically all of them. She was all positive and then she started to say that the comic industry is shit, publishers will drain your blood and that it was her choice to self publish her books.
This will be the very same.
Except it's not unusual for animation houses to browse social medias for new talents so it'd be even funnier to know the same people she will beg for a job will read all of her angsty rants and shit.

That's not always the case, but, some artists are more stubborn than others.

>>541210What I suspect, and what's certainly true for me, is that artists can usually see what's wrong but don't have the skills or time to fix it. When i had critiques in my uni art classes, the stuff that my peers pointed out were things I was aware of but again, I either didn't have the time or the skills to fix.
So when you're aware of what isn't working in your art, it becomes sort of annoying or sometimes hurtful because you've already heard the critique a thousand times from yourself if that makes sense.

>>543864it's not so much that he's drawing him period it's more so (at least IMO) her intentional wording.
saying "i drew J.D. from heathers, what an edgelord" or some generic shit like that is different than something along the lines of "i drew a school shooter that's singing about slushies". it threw those anons who didn't realize it was J.D. off due to the recent events and that's precisely the intention of that wording. with what's been going on lately, you don't throw around the words "school shooter" lightly.

She needs to put the tablet away and pick up some charcoal. There’s a reason it’s still used by almost everyone studying figures. I’ll help her make more fluid strokes and give a looser feel. It’s so damn fast, it’ll stop her from overthinking it. It’s also better for value studies.
She needs to practice traditional mediums more in general.
Her figures looks just like her comic drawings, which is not a compliment.

>>545367Yes and no
If the nose wasn't at such an extreme angle, she could have gotten away with just an higher/rounder chin line. Even deleting the line entirely would have helped.
But the nose is seen almost completely from below. Leaving aside
real anatomy, here's what it should look like IMO.
Because if you're going to tilt your head or look at somebody from below, all of the face is foreshortened.
I raised the nose, made it slightly smaller, skewed the head and raised her mouth, as well. The chin is not really visible and I played with the shadow to give more of a "raised head" look.
I don't want claps, and please don't insult me, I think this counts as redlining and it's supposedly not against the rules.

Have a look at her other drawings and you'll see that messing up supposed-to-be-parallel lines this badly is typical for her. The hands probably are traced though.
Obviously it's hideous but I'm still surprised that aside from bad technique she doesn't seem to have basic adult capacity for logic. She drew a hand as if it were holding a grip, but this never caused her to think that the gun should have a grip for the hand to grip on. She looks and sees a hand gripping air and thinks "Hmmm. Yeah I guess"

Or maybe if you're starting out digital, you could spend 100$ on an intuos or the pro and even then…some pros still use those and instead of cintiqs.

If you are more of a serious digital artist looking to upgrade though I would reccomend saving for a cintiq or buying a non Wacom tablet like Huion.
I know that this probably won’t be the most popular opinion but I feel like screenless tablets are a bit outdated at this point. The learning curve can be a bit demotivating to new artists and if you are actually a professional most companies will give you a screen tablet to work with.

No. 547117

A lot of the cheaper screen tablets are unable to use tilt brushes, have bad colors, have bad customer support, software compatibility issues, etc. I've noticed no difference in my output or quality after switching, either.
That said, some people genuinely do better with visual feedback from a screen tablet. It's just not necessary for everyone

>>547238I’m not sure what you’re trying to say, but horses typically weigh anywhere from 1200 - 2000 lbs. If anything the horse should be larger, but I think she made the mistake of treating the figures separately when they should be treated as a single unit following the same line of action (from an artistic and physics standpoint; horses exert a tremendous amount of force to hurdle themselves through the air and a rider experiences every bit of that as well.) If she had referenced an image of a horse and rider jumping she would know this, but in all likelihood she did what she always does and said “I know how to draw people,” and then only referenced a horse to slap it underneath. Probably an unsaddled reference image because no saddle anywhere ever actually looks like that.
But that’s just what she does.
>>547326 she draws a shitty human figure the way she “knows” how to draw and THEN tries to fit a human skull inside of it, as if she was actually referencing human bone structure. Ultimately the skull itself ends up looking fucked because she doesn’t realize she’s working ass-backwards on literally everything she does.

Okay this fucks me up but i have to point it out.
The horse has no horsetail… it's the hair that grows from the horse's asshole. Or a crude torture to the horse.
Also: the rider is twerking… or at least poses for a moneyshot but the jacket is in the way. And his other leg is no leg, it would mean that the guy has so fucked up anatomy that he has 2 hips on top of each other. I think the other leg is a huge boner.
Also also: capes. How do they work? (light as feather, going from one shoulder to… mid-back)
Also also also: the rider's head is way to small.
Plus one: So the "saddle" is falling off (the feet is shown from a lower angle yet everything else is not… what?) because nothing keeps it on the horse, the horse has a belt on his chest and is probably a bunnyhopping unicorn (or the farther ear grew out in the wrong place).

>>548297Then why make him possessed in the first place? Will the possession make him ‘believe’ in his natural talent more? If so how is that not different from yugioh?
Also coming back to the yugioh influence, atleast that show had a point (selling cards). There’s no way Holly will be able to pitch this piece of garbage to any self respecting network

>>548365My best bet: he is out of eggs and flour, he goes to clean a table and asks for a minute from the woman, he goes to the pantry for flour (?) and overhears his mom (?) talking, he is caught evesdropping by the man and reminisced about his mom and her dog (???) and then he’s mad the woman walked out without waiting and then he wants to kill the rat in frustration but instead thinks of his dog…
What a fucking cluster fuck. That’s my legitimate attempt and I still have absolutely no idea of what is happening or the flow or location or the fucking point or story. Damn it’s bad.

No. 548680
>>548671That sounds really gross and slightly pedophilic depending on what those 'certain things' are…
I mean if its not integral to the plot to have a child do adult only things then why even have it in the story in the first place? Or better yet, if it is integral why not find a way to have the child do it anyway without being possessed? The only reason I can see Holly needing the possession angle is if she want's the kid to do inappropriate fan servicey things like those animes where the girl is technically 1000s of years old so pedos can get their rocks off.
No. 548684
>>548680I’m assuming the child is possessed because a child can’t own a restaurant and the older man that looks similar to the main is his “adult form” that will be shown at some points throughout the animation. Like in yugioh. Of course knowing Holly some type of shota element will show up that she’ll try to justify under the “well it’s not the child doing the thing” example being the body of the character smoking cigarettes.
Hopefully she’ll realize that it just doesn’t make sense to put anything like the cooking cigarettes in and doesn’t actually add to the character in any way but to go “oooo look see adult things haha bet you didn’t expect a 12 year old to do that”.
No. 548689
>>548682Why, I'm not going off topic?
You on the other hand added nothing to the discussion.
>>548684I mean if the only point of the possession is so that the child can own the restaurant there are so many other ways she could have gone about doing that.
It's obvious Holly chose to make a animation thesis is so she can break into the industry. With that in mind why didn't she just pick a more PC premise for the short that really showed off her animation 'skills'?

>>5487071200 is a good diet, anon. She’s mostly sitting on her ass all day, and there’s no way she will be consistent in doing her walks. The wrong is she’s only counting calories and not what she’s even ingesting.
I remember when she started dieting she was all about making spaghetti out of veggies because “carbs makes you fat” (spoiler: they don’t. With excess they won’t hurt but that’s EVERYTHING.) and then drowned them in pre made sauce that has all the calories of the world and back.
A cup or tea (no sugar) with some milk, a fruit for breakfast, a salad with a spoon of olive oil, vinegar abd pepper plus some grilled white meat, some carrots or other crunchy thing as a snack and chickpeas or steamed veggies and some more proteins would easily be in that count.
Not all carbs are bad, not all sugars must be avoided, we need a certain amount of sodium and there’s difference between good and bad calories, but that would mean actually THINKING about things and she’s clearly not capable of doing it.
No. 548880
>>548706Of course Holly would do BS like eating 1200 calories a day, enjoy your fucked up metabolism when you inevitably can't sustain and gain it all back.
>>548689It would be fine if she made an edgy short film for her thesis but it has to be good. The the other anon said, she thinks of something that's mildly entertaining to her and thinks that's a story.

>>548842I know right? 120 is is like a 19 or 20 bmi for someone at 5'7 if anything she's nearing 170+ I can't stand watching her videos where you can see her fat wrists since that area of weight is usually proportionate to how heavy they are
I highly doubt she would be able to stick to the diet but I'll give her the benefit of doubt since your physical health should come first and not many people realize that fat cells stores in your arteries and makes it harder for blood flow and other nasty shit like that

Continues to waste time and money, I see.
Also 120lbs at 5'7" is NOT fat. I know someone who's under 5'5" with that weight, but then again they exercise so it could count as muscle. I wonder if Holly actually goes outside to walk and not just pace around the house like an old lady

I eat 1300 kcal a day. I'm no anachan, just normal slim weight with some pudgy bits. I tried eating the "recommended" 2000 kcal a day quite a few years ago while I was active every day and gained like 25 pounds. (and then had to lose it)
Nothing wrong with that calorie amount. Some people have high metabolisms and can eat more.
Haven't seen a pic of Holly to say whether she really is 120 lb though.

From this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L34nvJVQRZQI love how she sees scars and acne as unattractive on women but puts them on her creepy green haired character because she likes characters (men) who have flaws. Also equating butch to ugly, Holly your straightness is showing.
No. 549983
>>549950
>> racebending white characters to be trans, gay, not shaving, butch, autisticwow didn't know all those were races holly. also she's ignoring that this can be 'fun' for people, it causes no harm, you're not obliged to draw a character any certain way.
>> poc which looks kind of racist in of itself makes me wonder if this is the reason why all her poc characters look exactly the fucking same as her white characters. bc she's too scared of seeming racist to acknowledge that differences in facial structure exist across races.
it's a real pet peeve of mine when people generalise tumblr as being an sjw hellsite. there are definitely people on there who can be that way, but like most sites you can decide which sections to engage with.
and once again she shows the double standards she holds for women vs men. acne and scars are gross, unless they're on some hot boy she can make yaoiz with. god, she's such a gross person.

>>549983I think she knows on some level she doesn't have the skills and would probably fuck it up and accidentally produce some minstrel shit if she tried to give her black characters distinct features, but she doesn't want to put in the effort to learn how to do it either.

someone else can be "racist" by killing a mexican person because they hate mexican people.

>>550431Holly’s always puts too much on her plate. She’s working on her “animated pilot” for an early teen demographic and making merch to peddle at an anime con? Why does she always over work herself?
I was looking through her website since that’s the first thing potential studios will look at first before an interview and if I were Holly, I’d be more concerned about that.
Her work looks so rushed. Holly can’t even draw her own characters on model. Despite drawing all the time Holly doesn’t seem to understand the basics of drawing.
If Holly thinks her art work is good enough to get a studio job she really needs to push herself because she’s competing against some really talented artists.
No. 550579
>>550536I think she either desperately wants notoriety/profit, or she's just not happy enough with her work to stick to one thing at a time.
Branching out as an artist is great and all, but her hopping from project to project and having a million works in progress at once takes away from her ability to deliver a good final product. Art style aside, her process is a mess.
If she worked on things more consistently without overloading her to-do list, maybe she'd improve faster.

But I just saw this and as someone living in California and trying to make a living as a storyboard artist lemme just say that this bitch might starve herself out here.
Its crazy expensive with taxes and gas alone. PLUS the studio jobs out here are crazy competitive and unless you know someone, had prior experience, or even come from a well known school with an internship, they very much will look over you.
At best as a studio job she can be a production assistant to get some experience inside the studio, but I dont think shes gonna like that.
