>21 year old "freelancer" (lives at home with her mother and runs an online shop selling ugly art)>Salty Youtube fujoshi artist that claims that her art is superior because she went to art school>Constantly preaches that art takes hard work, claims to always practice and study but her art hasn't improved in over two years>Whines about being a starving artist with no money, yet has enough money to buy a new Mac computer and a Cintiq tablet within the same week, then sold said cintiq because she got sponsored for her shitty shitty art>When faced with genuine criticism, she replies with "it's my style hurrr get over it!!">Whines about nobody buying from her online store, but when people do, she whines about having to package and ship off her items >Pandering to the Musicals crowd to get more Youtube $$$>Claims to be the only non tumblrina artist and is a textbook tumblr fujo>Generally insufferable and shitty person In the previous thread:
>Holly backtracks on her animation goals and starts the 100 days of making comics challenge>Her lack of tact massively backfires on her as people get pissed about her constantly shitting on everyone>Holly BALEETS most of her videos and posts two rants about how she's "Done with the drama" and "won't say anything again ever">Opens commissions to make money instead>Deletes those videos too and decides to just go back her regular video and abandon any critical thinking altogetherIs Holly literally autistic, or have the years of being a shut-in just eroded her social skills?

>>552288I laugh so hard because she really bought a batch of HtDM recently.
>>55231Again her mentality that owning/buying something will make you a professional. Now she’s gonna have a degree and be able to be the shitty teacher jealous of other people’s talent she hated in high school. She just can’t seem to understand that she needs to practice while actively thinking of what she’s doing instead of spending on programs and tools.
>>552126Loving the bent thumb! But as someone suggested, this is way too detailed and complex, she would have at max some paw hands under the camera. My guess is he just got mutilated for that panel, they look like broken wrists or he’s handless.
>>552037Ahahah all of the proportions are wrong in her picture. It was also idiotic to use the previous version as a base just to save some details. If you don’t want to redraw it, don’t. It’s simple. She focuses on details instead of the big picture/ mass allocation. I see a pattern. I still can’t believe that amateurish (at best) as she is, she is still perceived as a goddess and professional by her subs. Sure, that’s because she claims to be a professional herself, but everybody with eyes and a working brain could call it bullshit.
Also guys it’s bothering me to no end that she made the video crying about people who said she should die, and then says everybody who uses mc leod’s music should kill themselves. It’s really, really bothering me that nobody’s calling her out on this just because she’s funny and hhhhhhhhonest

Spechie honestly deserves her own thread if she doesn't already have one. She's A LOT like Holly but less loud about it.
I think one of the most noteable things about her is that she once got in trouble at her school for talking shit about a girl there. Then she got somewhat of a following and started acting like a diva, including treating some friends like shit, cause she was convinced people were trying to get at her "youtube fame"
Sound familiar?

sort of fan of hers I bought shit from her and I can say she does pack them well by putting the prints into some sort of cardboard and if you have a big print she'd ship it separately to avoid damages.

>>553528Holly would benefit from learning from the principles and foundations of animation since she’s so gung-ho about making a pilot.

No. 553614
You can probably make a safe bet that she hasn't done ONE bouncing ball or pendulum study. She just went right in with the characters, and clearly she isn't serious or done studies, because she's just "
moving her drawings" not "
animating her characters".
>>553550In all seriousness, she's the kind of person who'll become irrelevant when it comes to e-fame. It's kind of already happening. Every time she sees a slip in attention she does some shitty stunt to keep people looking.

I really like the crooked backgrounds and faces in some of the Disney series like the Tangled and hotel Transylvania TV series, for example, skewed perspectives add s lot of character.
I mean obviously the designers of those started from knowing correct perspective and also how to skew things so they look good, neither of which Holly has yet. At the moment she seems to be trying to make it realistic and ending up slanting everything left. But just from a style pov, if she could be bothered, something like that might work for her story.

laying out the tenets of that religion? We all know Holly doesn't into worldbuilding because it's "a waste of time," but maybe a little bit of worldbuilding would make it easier to keep up with a project for more than the first chapter, you idiot.
Sorry for sperging but poor writing makes me so angry. The idea of a world where the major power is an occult/pagan "church" that functions in a similar way to Christianity in our world could be such an interesting thing to explore, but no, for Holly it has to be "bweeeeh religion baaaad hhhhhnnnn underage rape scene". No substance at all. I'm so angry.

No. 554690
>>554604Fuck, that part about why she wanted to include the rape part felt so half assed and awkward. She didn't even try to use different wordings so that it wouldn't come off so strong, but nope, she just went right in and said that she wanted to include the kid getting raped since it's a prominent aspect that surrounds catholic churches.
Christ, this just comes off as fujo shit so bad where alot of stupid yaoi plots are just the main guy getting raped and the love interest justifying it and shit.
Reading this document makes me sick, there's better ways to actually deal with these kinds of issues, don't just put it in as a plot device to mame the main character seem "uwu so vulnerable, must protect smol damaged bean" to fulfill your sick fujo fantasies
Sage for rant but I truly despise people like holly who are using fucking rape as a way to glorify the victim's trauma despite never having gone through such a life changing and degrading experience

Look into Alan Watts and Zen and Bhagavad Gita and Taoism, whatever man but there’s more stuff you could incorporate into the world building and the characters. Art isn’t about the fuckin thiccness of the paint itself that’s what digital art tells us. Find something that you love again and turn it into some real shit that others can love too bro

No. 555344
>>555335Yeah you know what, you hit the point. She keeps saying that if you don’t like her stuff it’s because you don’t like her art style, but that’s totally not true.
It’s not about style, it’s about inconsistencies and poorly made stuff. One can like a style or not but if you suck it shows and that’s a fact. She just can’t accept that she’s not the inhuman skilled artist she tells herself to be, and hides behind the style mask just like every 14yo kid approaching to animes.
If her things were actually thought, and planned and she would be a little more humble, we wouldn’t be as harsh.
I follow tons of people that I’m not really into style wise but I like to see them progress, and lots of non skilled artists overcoming their difficulties actually warm my heart. So I’m not saying that if you suck you must die, it’s her attitude that’s pissing people, because she’s always on her high horse when she doesn’t have any right to talk down to other people.

If you have passion and a strong enough intent you don't need the top of the line tools to accomplish the projects you want. Why can't she just make do with the already useful tools she has? It's not like the more expensive the program the easier it is to cut corners, you still have to create a great animation to create a great animation.

I tried to watch a few videos but it only confused me more. She is an adult yet acts like an edgy 13 year old, and her art is very underwhelming. I thought maybe she gained popularity because her stories were interesting, but I found her stories to be too try-hard and they always made her come across as a spoiled brat.
I just chalked it up to me being too old to understand kids these days.
Back on topic:
I'm glad I found this thread. I don't think Holly Brown is necessarily a bad person or anything, but before I found lolcow I thought I was the only one that didn't understand her appeal. Her art is just so bad yet she has art tutorials that, for some reason, have a lot of views and likes. I am trying to get back into drawing after not doing it for years, and it always annoyed me how Holly Brown and other bad artists kept getting recommended to me in my Youtube feed. I feel like an ass when I say someone's art is bad; I know making art can be difficult. But I'm sorry, her art is just not good, at least not good enough for her to be making art tutorials.

>>555191Hold up there cowboy I never said it was a masterpiece, but art is subjective and I can say it's good b/c it is something that expresses her own personality and sense of humor well.
Some of yall need to take a step back and focus less on her technical fuck ups, and more on the attitude. Girl can really draw from her imagination with a passion. It's just that the content that she has to work from, what her brain has consumed is middle school level at best. I'm less perplexed by her shitty stick figures than I am by the fact she's seemingly stayed the same exact person, consuming the same shit since high school/college and hasn't grown or developed her artwork along with her personality.
No. 556256
>>556233Anon, taste is subjective but beyond the technical skills her attitude is pretty bad too.
Also imo you can't really separate a comic from the technical aspects, writing, pacing, flow etc are important and if you can't convey your story properly it's a failed attempt. Most people express themselves in their comics but that doesn't make them good.
On the other hand, if she's genuinely gone through some rough shit as a child/teen when her being emotionally stunted is not that surprising, it's a common thing.
No. 556378
>>556233I understand what you mean, but there are thousands upon thousands of artists that are drawing from the imagination with the same passion that don't act the way she does.
I & others would criticize her and her mistakes far less harshly if she didn't repeatedly refer to herself as a professional and put down the habits/methods of other artists. In the end, I'd still much rather see her grow and learn than fail, but as of right now she's directly influencing others in a bad way

her horse drawing for example, I think it’s great that she tried to draw a horse and all, but we all saw how messed up that looked, I criticized her rushed work with the stylization because that’s something we all know she likes to do.. the critique about the anatomy was correct, but should she really do studies or just think some happy thoughts and clean her room for a change? I know from experience it’s tough to get anatomy correct when I don’t have any emotional investment in the stuff I make. Could be different for others I’m just trying to get a discussion going.

>>556777I’m sorry to be that person but if you want to be a professional (and you claim to be one) you don’t give a fuck about personal investment. You need to train your hand and brain, focus and study as much as you can.
If you want to pursue art as a career “inspiration” and “‘moods” do not exist, unless you know you can sell whatever you want because you have a pillow to save your ass every time you fall.
Art as a job, especially in the industry (since she’s not one of those fine artists she shits on or introspective people) is no different than any other job. Once you have the skills you can draw in every condition.
She has a fragile ego? Well then maybe she should learn that other people might have it too and act accordingly, I don’t want to cuddle her and shield her from what’s wrong in her art, that’s exactly what she wants, probably why she left a real college, and what her whole huge fanbase keep doing.

>>556762>>556845Well think about it, drugs are more supply and demand business especially if they live in a white trash/hood area and now rebellious millennials wanting to embarrass weed in Texas. You can find a weed dealer that sells $20 per gram of good quality (if lucky I've seen dealers that charge more).
The demand for weed in red states that wouldn't give a slap on the wrist if you get caught with it would drive a higher price. It's not a safe job but if you know what you are doing you can make $2000-$3000 a night which is more than Holly can make by doing art videos or selling ugly merch. Not a safe or desirable job, but people do drug dealing when they hit a low point and seen a good chunk come out of it.
From what we know of Holly has bought a washing machine for the family and that's it. The brother for all we know might actually be trying to helping out. In a broke as the family its better that your symbiotic relationship should be mutualism not parasitic.

You chose to picture two characters, one of them has a strong sex appeal and would be an easy buy for random teenagers that only ask for 2d cleavage and a nice face but NO of course let's break her spine and give her a flat ass.

>>559849That’s not true, she can be really picky and harsh when it comes to other people. She somehow fails to be that harsh and evolve on her own art, but she bashed professionals, she’s not going to accept stuff that’s not on par with her level, and to her, her level is really high.
If some people would make the same mistakes as her, she would just discard their applications, I’m pretty sure of that.

>>561302So she's doing the printing herself,taking the costs of that, instead of forwarding funds to a professional printing service? I feel bad for whoever's going to be submitting art to her then, it's going to come out so wonky.
If she just "wants to make a zine" then why is she so hell bent on printing it herself other than for the glory of being able to say "HA! I made this from scratch and all these great artists are in
my corner, eat shit, FMA zine!"
Like, she always finds the most difficult path and walks it with no map. You can run a store for 4 years and still not know what the fuck you're doing with your money, your time, and your resources. That much has been proven with her.
No. 561334
>>561326She said that she pre-calculates the cost of the zeen based on printing cost of her own prints. Which is semi-wise given that she has a plan and all… but this is a backwards logic again.
Because first you optimize the pagecount (printcost, format, which size sells better etc) and then go to find artists.
No. 561336
>>561301I’m sorry I sound like a broken record but I grew up in a condition that’s pretty close to Holly’s. Single mother caring for three children, plus rent and bills PLUS legal expenses.
We weren’t allowed to luxury and I get what she’s saying but that’s no excuse for how much she splurges. I had hand me downs for church or my sister, never had toys, could only afford paper and pen to draw and every other thing was considered luxury. No proper health treatment, no dentist either. So yeah I understand that growing up poor is sad and hard, I know that, but she’s not alone in this and some of her points are quite meh to me.
>>Food is bland because spices are expensiveI mean what? I understand that canned food is not the best but the only “spice” you really need is salt, and that’s in no way expensive. Most probably her mom and siblings and even her don’t know how to cook and rely only on the strong taste of spices to “taste” the food. As I said, we were on a really low income, but my mom’s cooking was never bland. She found ways to make everything kind of good. Repetitive, sure, because it’s basically the same food all the fucking time, but the food being ugly it’s just a matter of how you cook it and distribute what you have at your disposal.
Growing up in that condition I’ve learned that you need to avoid staining your clothes and you need to treat your stuff properly, because it’s the only thing you’ll have.
So unless it’s sonething uncontrollable, “stained clothes” are just a sign of her never giving a fuck about her stuff. Unless they were stained from the get go but you usually check clothes before accepting them in church. And if you take care of the stains as soon as you can they’re barely visible, and you can anyway find way to “cover” what is wrong with your clothes. Personal experience, again. Sorry for the blog post but I seriously don’t like when people “justify” her actions or the way she trashed money because she grew up poor.
I knew I couldn’t afford the basics so every cent I gained, it was a saving for things I needed or wanted. But again if I wanted/want something I check so many times if it’s really worth it because something in my mind is telling me that there could be some medical expenses, or things that I really NEED in the future. So no, it’s a matter of character and predisposition. Growing up poor don’t make you an uneducated money tosser, it’s her fault.
Again I’m sorry, I don’t want to sound like a bitch but that’s really not the situation fault, it’s just hers.
Also if the situation was so desperate, she should have rolled up her sleeve and go work to contribute the family just like I and lots of other people did. But from what she’s said she only worked at what michaels for a short period of time and not too long ago.
No. 561376
>>561336I know, reading her complains seemed so whiney and oh woe is me despite most of her points bring petty normal things. Like a sketchbook and new clothes are pretty average for birthday and Christmas gifts, she acts like such a spoiled brat.
Also I get that money brings stability but that doesn't mean you're miserable all the time, if anything its the little things that make you happy.
I don't want this to get out of hand in a debate of weather or not money brings you happiness, but with the right mindset honestly you can get over certain things. She just seems to act like such a spoiled brat who wishes she had money to splurge as a kid despite not having worked any jobs when she was little
Saged of course
No. 561401
>>561380Yes, thank you. I think you phrased it the best.
Also let’s not forget that in high school most of her works were done in copics and she had quite the collection, so… uhm MAYBE she’s exaggerating a little bit? Copics aren’t cheap and if they had that much trouble with clothes and FOOD I would have spent whatever ideal money I had to improve my style of life instead of a bunch of copics just because all the cool kids have them. Of course it was her choice eventually but in that case she had no right to complain about her poor life conditions. Her priorities are so off balance that it makes me dubious she really was “that” poor. Say she worked at michael’s because she wanted to buy copics, If THAT was her only worry then she was pretty average/lucky money wise.
And yes if you have money and live with somebody that has covered your ass all your life to me contributing is simply a given. And nothing to brag about.
Think if her aunt/mom complained every time she needed to buy panties for her or buy groceries for three children. That would sound humiliating, right? Yet she does the same thing now that she has a couple bucks to lend money.

>>561416To be fair, as an animator I have to say features in softwares being made "easier" really is important and sometimes even life-saving. Plus, depending on what kind of animation you want to make, the many differences between Toon Boom and TV Paint really matter. Or- they would, for Holly, if she weren't so bad at animating that style doesn't really matter at this point.
Holly, if you're reading this, learn how to animate with paper before you spend additional ridiculous amounts of money on things you're not gonna use.

Then there’s another thing to consider. Her mom is not her mom, if this is legal, there’s no way a judge would move a kid into a house that can’t provide basics. I think she’s over exaggerating again.
Also there’s kids who don’t get to have Christmas presents or birthday presents, even if small. And she shits over sketchbooks or clothes?! I would have LOVED both, but had my first sketchbook basically when I started working in the industry.

I got suspicious since she listed hex codes for the zine that they were not CMYK so I tested it and they are indeed RGB instead of CMYK. It's obvious it'll be a different color in print than intended if everyone will use those colors. I'm so confused about this because she said she knows how to print books..she hasn't specified any technical information on what format the submissions should be either. I don't think she knows half of what she claims to know.

She probably wasn't starving to death poor (which is comparatively rare in the US anyway), but I don't find it hard to believe that she grew up low income and probably isn't used to having disposable income like she does now. Her point that people who say that "money can't make you happy" often have never been poor is pretty valid.

I said I understand what she means, but she didn’t made the discovery. “Money can’t buy happiness, but they sure help” is totally a thing, and again I get what she wanted to say, but as always she made it worse and phrased it poorly.

I took a look at her True Color Tumblr and she wrote "I have a book printing machine and also know a lot about file setup in Indesign". Obviously if she knew this much she would have created a palette with CMYK codes and specified more informations (like dpi for instance). But I guess she (maybe) would give more informations to the artists later, as she's first going to choose who gets in.
Anyway, I read that the zine will be printed on her laser printer so I can only expect an unprofessional result. I wonder why so many people want to enter this zine.

I had tons of printer paper and used that, plus when you create a portfolio you basically only use single sheets (well of course heavier paper but per page it still costed less than sketchbooks) ; I’m talking about traditional media, of course, but you get the idea.
15$ minimum for a sketchbook were a waste of money, especially considering that I didn’t need to keep every piece together for practice pieces. With 2 $ I could have way more paper.

With cheaper sketchbooks yes, I can devote them to gesture and just practice, but pricier sketchbooks, with a good paper, would feel wasted if used just to draw practice pieces. It’s not for showing off as I’ce always tended to keep my sketchbook kind of private.

Uhm guys, she said “after 6 days I can use tvpaint finally”, yesterday, right?
Checked today, so detract one day from the screen, BUT. Look at pic related.
She received it four days ago. Four. That means that when she posted the “finally” she had it for three days. THREE fucking days. HALF of the time she said she waited to use it.
Then there’s people not accepting that she’s always over reacting and exaggerating everything.

How would you suggest she should do skin? Sorry, artistically challenged here. I don’t even know if she’s taken a traditional medium class but she’s done paintings on her channel before.
No. 565647
>>565641It really depends! You have to take into account lighting and everything, but there's really never any reason to just put a base of yellow… It's just a really nasty and hard to work with color.
As someone who is close to her in skin tone, I always use a peach as a base and then use light browns and more peaches to build up my layers. It's clear to me that even on the cheek, she only has two/three layers of color down.
You REALLY have to build up layers when drawing skin. I've done portraits where the layer of colored pencil I use is in the 30s - it just really matters that you build up those color. A lot of people make a mistake by instantly grabbing whatever 'flesh' tone and just covering everything in that, but it really makes your art pop when you throw in blue as a base cover and work from there.
It's strange to me that she doesn't know that, because the hair clearly shows that she's used colored pencils quite a bit - and she's using Prismacolors, which are one of the more expensive colored pencils.
She's also just really not following the form, and that can kill you when doing faces.

I'm gonna go ahead and give her the benefit of the doubt and assume what she means is that she personally dosen't like it when other people put labels onto her because she feels they are too constraining. And as a possibly bi/straight person, this has been her experience with her sexuality.
Tbh I have known people of the same mentality and it really is sorta like "dont pressure me, I'm trying to figure it out/just trying to live my life." Which I think is all well and fine.
But Holly goddammit, you're stepping on your own toes again! Just because that is YOUR experience dosen't mean it is everyone else's experience. So why the fuck are you running around telling people "this is the proper way to do it" again???

No. 570642
>>570598Fair enough. I was an idiot for thinking otherwise lol
Well there’s a couple things someone might find interesting
She shit talked literally every artist ever, including Kim Jung Gi. Said his art was mediocre and his process was played up and uninteresting. Maybe because he can draw accurately from his head and she’s salty that she has no clue how to Idfk.
Honestly I’ve never seen someone so hell bent on finding flaws in everyone’s work but being completely oblivious about their own work. Her problems she acknowledged were: her weird slanted lean in her art and the fact that she can’t draw hands to save her life. Everything else was great in her eyes. Even her studies are often off but she’s never addressed that she was so into “improvement hell” but neglected to actually improve it was beyond annoying.
She told me she only made Damian and Simon gay so that it would get popular as a gay comic. Seriously.
She also always got really
triggered whenever talking about her brother and would freak out if he ever was nearby. Like once he came into her room and asked her something and she lashed out at him and just kept yelling at him to get out and for like the next two minutes after he left all she did was talk about how stupid he was and how much she hated him.
I think the most interesting thing for me was when she got a table for San Japan the year Baylee was invited. She was making these bizarre posters that had like no color and were just like.. shitty drawings of “popular” fandoms. They weren’t fucking popular other than Ghibli and the Ghibli one had more obscure characters and they were sometimes not even recognizable. And she was so fucking sure she would outsell Baylee, and constantly bragged about it.
Yea she didn’t make back the money she spent on everything. Idk how she thought her stuff would sell. The idea she pitched to me for fanart sounded good but her execution on them wasn’t even subpar. Baylee totally outsold her and it was like pulling teething asking her how the con went. She was so upset it was sad. But literally how the fuck did she expect to get anything over Baylee when she offered obscure shit that wasnt remotely interesting. Also apparently she went to Baylee’s table and kinda was like “hey I’m on YouTube too” and Baylee was like “yea I know you” and that was it. Baylee was so uninterested and over her.

Idk if she ever replied.
She used to be really open with shitting on other artists tho, especially Lemia because she was “teaching bad habits about inking”. That was mostly when she was in highschool and made videos. She acts like she’s different from then but I think she’s just more careful who she talks to. Cause she talks a TON of shit and it doesn’t matter who it is.

I would highly recommend a keypad instead cuz you'll waste time reaching for hotkeys on this one….
No. 571731
>>571661I don't even want to defend her, but people have a lot of reasons not to use a keypad. Usually their tablet is so big they can't reach it effortlessly, so they'd rather use the express keys.
What's weird to me is that if she has to label them because she won't remember them otherwise, does it really even improve her workflow? Digital artists don't even have to look at the keys, it's muscle memory. If you can't remember the commands you'll take just as much time looking for a tool on screen than on your hotkeys.
Also those label stickers are kinda ugly, it'd actually bother me more to have ugly white stickers on my tools..

I thought they were apple slices at first. Such anatomy, great volume definition!
>>571731I agree with the muscle memory, most of the time I can’t even explain some actions I’m doing because I’m too used to just hit the keys, I know the placement but not what keys they are unless I mimick the movement while watching.
I THINK she could have just put them to help her memorise the hot keys and then forgot/was unable to detach the stickers, I honestly hope she doesn’t look for the tool button every time. In my opinion is way quicker to just learn the positioning of your shortcuts (if they’re too much or you suck at remembering things) just by trial and error.
The whole printing, cutting and placing stickers is more consuming than actually memorising the keys as you go. But that’s her jam: harder, not smarter.

Under waffles new video.
I know she supposedly wants to be supportive but it really gets on my nerves. Whenever she shits on cookie cutter channels, she is referring to her too; and what the girl is going through in first person is different than dealing with somebody who is ill. It’s a different kind of pain and no she can’t understand how it is like to BE sick.
Also encouraging others to beg for money?
I mean If she really needs it and it comes for her I’d even help, but suggesting to just open tip jars because “she’s too cool” (god she’s such a snake) upsets me. This seems to be the solution to everything for Holly.
Just ASK for money.

Let's say that an artist does have a large following and demand for books goes up. at that point do you
really want to do the work book binding orders
and trying to make new art at the same time? at that point instead of paying in money, you pay in time spent producing.

No. 573052
>>572852Putting your work in a book format won't fix the egregious amount of art lean, Holly.
Also, stop encouraging people to buy unnecessary shit to make simple zines and comics.
Most people buying them don't even mind the finish when the work is good, which is probably why Holly here is overcompensating.
If it was me, I would've suggested to my viewers to try book binding out at a workshop first, or do further research and really think, 'is this something I want to invest in and do in the
long term?'.
Because that's what these are, they're long term investments. Almost ALL of the shit she mentioned in the video are 'nice to have's. but they aren't necessary to getting a product out to people.
What she is trying to do is imitate as closely as possible, professionally done book binding. And if that's what she wants to do, cool, it was an interesting video, but don't go telling people they need a laminator and a guillotine cutter to get a job done.

>>574666It’s just as much or little of a story as she and everyone else does for Mermay. People enjoy drawing pretty mermaids but Holly has to shit on that.

No. 575735
>>575727Yeah we've seen her home made books have the exact same problem.
I also can't wait for that cost breakdown video.
it's already looking to be a hot mess. She didn't even think to say 18+ only to get out of the hassle of paying underaged people. not that I think splitting the money
105 ways will be cutting anyone fat checks anytime soon.
None of what she explained in the video made this whole scheme any less shady, because she said she was going to be the one to print the books.
Wouldn't you think she would want a larger cut of the profit based on that alone? cost of time and materials.
lemme put on my tinfoil hat and postulate that she probably wants to take this to sanjapan, Mark it up and pocket any money it makes, I wouldn't even be surprised. that's why there's a rushed due date on this little project she decided to cook up. so she can profit off other artists' work & have another item in

I am not really getting how she’s going to manage this money thing… from how she made it sound like earlier it felt like everybody sold their own copy and got the profit of their own books, now it’s cumulative and then equally split? That’s not really practical or smart, unless it’s only ONE person managing the sales.
>>575727Honestly in more than 10 years of dealing with professional publisher and self publishing this is the first time I see something like this as a BLEED.
The bleed must be the same for each side of the paper, it’s just allowance, you don’t need to have more paper on top and back. You usually do something like this when you’re establishing an internal grid, and you want to have more space below to place page numbers, and on top if you just want to balance the page. But it’s nothing about the cut. Every printing service and stores I’ve been dealing with always requested a fixed margin. This, and the RGB request, show that she doesn’t know anything about printing, and even formatting a book.

In my experience, the people who run fanzines are very up front and clear about content what they want/don't in their zines, how they want it formatted
and the logistics of pay (if applicable), within the submission form, so that the person interested in getting into the zine, knows what to expect

>>571259>>575657>>575660Looking at the only post I could find, you're all most likely right that Holly is straight-up lying about getting 500+ applicants for her atomic bomb of a zine. She barely scratched the 200 mark on Tumblr, and I couldn't find anything on Twitter about it either (no promo post, no one in the BNHA fandom talking about it, etc.), so there's further proof nobody gives a fuck about her shitting out what's currently popular. Talk about pathetic when you have to practically beg your fanbase to promote your stain on a fandom.

>>576638At first i thought an anon posted some random picture…. but then i looked at the "muscles" and the shoes/heels and went, "Yup, that's a Holly BRown piece."
And yeah, totally think this traced. looking at the legs, you can see the area where the calf and boots interact, the leg becomes incredibly thin as if the upper half was drawn(or traced!) and then the boots were added by her. I feel like she traced off something like this-

>>576888Anon, her art is not "bad on purpose", here. The only thing that's "supposed" to be bad is the head, because it's a moe moe head and of course it's ridiculous and need to be made fun of.
The anatomy is supposed to be realistic and that's the "joke" about it: extremely stylised/moe face in a detailed/realistic body.
It was a joke but it was a joke on HER because she can cry and shout all she wants but she doesn't know shit about anatomy or volumes.
Proof is that for her "real" piece she just badly traced some pic and slap random lines here and there to make people know she knows anatomehhhhhh.
If she was just a little bit less arrogant and full of shit, we wouldn't attack even the quickest doodles. But she is. And she's doing a terrible job both in doodles AND real drawings.
I hope I cleared that point.

>>577428Voice acting is often recorded before animation even begins so that the lip syncs etc will be more accurate to the voice given to the character.
It's perhaps not the best idea for Holly though considering she's likely going to pay for sub par voice acting for a pilot that will never even be completed
No. 577449

>>577961She wants to be an art teacher yet she undermines the importance of drawing still lifes? Holly, if a person can’t draw a box or a bottle properly they’re gonna have a hard time drawing a realistic human. How does she not understand that?
It’s so irritating. She puts herself on this pedestal as if she’s the smartest person out there when she’s the most mediocre artist I’ve ever seen.

You need to get creative within the boundaries of what you are given to make sure students are learning their foundations.
It would not suit her.
She doesn't even like learning foundations. what in the world would make her think she'd want to be teaching that over and over again. She's

>https://twitter.com/HCBrownart/status/994596268738596864This looks fucking terrible. Does she not know that she's not supposed to animate the background with each frame or was it supposed to wiggle like that because it's ~her style~?
No. 578274
>>578201That is really difficult to watch. The main focus should be the characters, and with the background moving too it all blends together too much. It takes the focus away.
Ed, Edd and Eddy didn't apply squigglevision to the backgrounds. Dr. Katz didn't either. Neither did Home Movies.
I know she loves Home Movies, so surely she saw the way the method was used at some point or another.
I'm not even sure she understands why squigglevision was created and implemented in the first place.

>>578201This is an abomination to animators everywhere. Trying to even discuss all things where she went wrong would be way too long of a text post and tbh I don't think anyone wants to spend that much time trying to write up a way for her to make it better.
Holly, learn the basics, learn the foundations and fundamentals, and learn the reasons why people do certain things in animation and understand they do those things for the exact reason that it doesn't end up looking like your hot mess

>>578201Is it just me or do the lips not sync to the words at all?
Every time I play it back it just looks like he's speaking gibberish. Also…IVs do not drip from the top down? I'm not quite sure what she's going for with this. There's nothing at the top of a half empty bag. With that in mind, continuity is broken as the bag looks full in the next shot.
I will give her props though, she's animating that incredibly complicated bouquet (which is stupid in the first place but she did this to herself) decently enough.
No. 578352
>>578201She knows shit about animation but because she is Holly BRown she is the only one that knows how things are done. Everybody else is doing things wrong and are just lazy if you do have a life and don’t spend 12/15 hours in one thing you’re not a professional.

No. 578382
>>578093She said she’s switching to bw because paranormal plague pages takes too long to make since they’re in color.
The way she’s dealing with this is the very same as flatting a page, which is the most time consuming thing when it comes to colouring. Plus, she’s not doing any fancy colouring or special effect, her colouring style is really simple and quick; the only reason the pages takes so long to make is because she’s procrastinating them. Random animations take more time to do than a simple page of comic.
She just can’t stop lying, can she.
No. 578477
>>578318It was created to cut animation costs. The squiggly effect of the lines creates a sense of life without any need for more complex animation.
Of course, in all fairness, what she is doing isn't TECHNICALLY squigglevision, because that is a computer program created by Tom Snyder to produce shows like Dr. Katz or the first season of Home Movies. She's doing it all by hand, but I know she is referencing shows like Home Movies. So, I feel like she thinks she is imitating their process, but she can't.
What she is doing is technically boiling lines, like Ed, Edd and Eddy did. Which I'm sure you know is a totally different process and done by hand. BUT I doubt she even knows what boiling lines is in animation. And I certainly don't see how this is a time-saving process. ESPECIALLY since she is making the background squiggle too.

>>578201These shots don't flow at all… I cant tell what the fuck is even going on
And putting the drawing style and weird wiggly bg aside, the motion is absolutely abysmal. It's so amateurish, she clearly has no sense of timing whatsoever. it's like she just drew a bunch of inbetweens and prayed it would work.
No. 578801
>>578726Plus she did absolutely no planning at all in the rough stages, their faces are sliding and everytging becomes bigger and smaller because she didn't map any of the facial lines out.
There's a reason why people draw the head with a circle and lines in it, so that when the head turns or does different expressions it flows and doesn't look wonky af. Something holly clearly didn't even try to do

>>578999exactly, its not great work ethic if you ignore any and all critique and pump out shit art because you all but refuse to work on your fundies.
That being said i think HBRown is a late bloomer socially and is sort of going through cringe teenage artist ego right now, and in a while i wouldn't be surprised if she just restarted so to speak. A lot of really good artists i know went through an I Know More Than You phase after they thought they were good enough to move on from beginner exercises.. we can't be sure though. she might be a bitter fart forever

What she means is:
“I am choking with how much I tried to chew so I’m now focusing on what I WANT to do as per usual but I don’t want people to judge me so I am planting here a seed of how human and fragile I am. You can’t tell me I’m being unprofessional because I’m having issues about my future. Let me just draw porn and animate stuff that I don’t need.”

>>579704Someone PLEASE explain where Holly got the idea that drawing random squiggles on limbs = muscle definition. I have seen very amateur artists, thousands over the years, not a single one drew a line straight down the arm as if it represented musculature.
Is she seriously that lazy? 2 seconds on Google and you have arm muscle anatomy. Wtf, I just don't get it.
She also shades the squiggles as if they were seams… they do not represent any 3d form. They just look like the character has a thin scar from a long gash.

but anyway, holly's art doesn't really scream calarts, unfortunately. her art's too detailed, not in a good way, but still.

Holly's anatomy is far from 3D or realistic, but when I look at Hershel ( I noticed this in
>>579704 at the end) the face just seems sooooo out of place. It's a flat board stuck on a body that's trying to have somewhat realistic form and shading. It's so unnerving and just makes the face super unappealing. In the video, it literally has no shading despite everything else being shaded… wtf. It baffles me how she thinks it's okay…
