holly, if you’re clearly incompetent at something that you proclaim you’re great at, then ppl are going to laugh at you or try to inform you of what you’re doing wrong. some of her vids are the most blatant examples of that, like the “anatomy mistakes young artists make” and the “color theory” vids. those may be her worst, considering how shit her anatomy and colors still are and how absolutely sure of herself she was. even if those were made a while ago, i don’t doubt that she still believes every word she said in them. god that color theory piece was a hot fucking mess lmao. i mean yeah, i get what she’s saying in that ppl telling her she has a potato face and stuff like that is kinda pointless bc she can’t fix it, but in terms of art? nah, honey, you’ve got a LOT you can fix with that.

>>699962Stockholm Syndrome isn't even a real observable medical condition. It isn't acknowledged by law enforcement
or the mental health community to be a "syndrome" or disorder.
Also,
why? Of all of the directions should could have taken the story after Simon got raped, why
Stockholm Syndrome, that tired borderline-abuse-apologist cliche?
When sexual abuse victims in the church avoid telling authorities, it's because of victim-blaming and gas-lighting, not because Jesus makes them develop feelings for their rapist. They genuinely believe that it's their fault it happened.

>>699962It's more like she's saying "don't you know anything about psychology, bro?"
Cause she does, obviously.
This is a sensitive topic, it's a good thing we have the esteemed Professor Holly Fujo Brown to teach us about trauma.
As a side note, realistic rape trauma is neither sexy nor kawaii, which could be the issue here. I'm not even talking about her abusing the trope for gain, I just mean the way it usually plays out is not very aesthetic. Living with one's rapist for years causes emotional scarring that can leave people almost catatonic, incapable of caring for themselves. Many victims try to make themselves unattractive to protect themselves, eg. put on heaps of weight. Not very kawaii.
>>699975I think she's going for the Lolita story-line where a child becomes attached to an adult based purely on the authority they have but, you know, without doing any research and calling it Stockholm Syndrome.

>>699975how did it go from "I'm being raped by my teacher to save Damien's life" to "I'm actually in love with my rapist even though it's only been like a week"?
also the fact that immediately after being raped he was coming onto Damien and trying to fuck which was so absurdly forward and out of character that even Damien was weirded out by his 180 personality change, and that was without knowing he was sexually abused like the day before.
I think Holly is trying to very hamfistedly portray how many CSA victims become hypersexual later in life without realizing it takes a lot more than a few days to make that transition????

>>700303I think Holly has a problem with not understanding how comedy works, honestly. It feels like she has a punchline in mind when she writes the story, and is just making the characters say what they need to to get to the joke. The bad thing is, it makes your characters literally nonexistent and your story suck, and Holly legit doesn't know what a funny joke is so there's no point in the first place.
Holly, stop writing comedy stories, you're obviously not built for it. At least Purg has some sort of story and not meme :3 faces and forced dialog in one poorly drawn location.

It’s kinda sad seeing how much Holly’s art has lost any individuality to it; it’s always been ugly but I feel like it used to have a certain charm to it.

>>700303Holly repeats herself like this because she has no confidence in her storytelling and doesn't know how to show action A causing effect B.
Your character just needs to move from Room 1 to Room 2, but you panic and draw three panels of them standing in Room 1 followed by four panels of them standing in Room 2 announcing "I left Room 1 and entered Room 2." All you needed was one panel of them walking through a door - but that's Holly, all the time. She either doesn't know what panel she needs, or she's scared readers won't get it if she doesn't drill it into their skulls.
It's the art equivalent of circling a word over and over instead of explaining herself. She did it here with Ash making Herschel mad, she did it before with Princess making Herschel horny, and she even did it when Herschel explained they were broke.
>>700248They are lol. Her repetition affects her writing too. Herschel's constant raging makes him terrifying, but to her he's just a goofy hothead. Ash is also a psycho for needling him beyond his breaking point, but Holly thinks this is cute "banter" between friends. It's a friendship written from mutations of fictional friendships, not her own experiences.
Princess is the worst because Holly hasn't considered her motivation. She's a journalist, yet doesn't know what social media/YouTube is? She thinks a million-view YT channel is a "hobby," doesn't get how they could earn money off it, or even why they'd want to record monster sightings? And then doesn't listen to their insider info, even if she's 99% sure they're crazy?
She was proactive because Holly's narrative needed her to be. Then she suddenly didn't know anything because Holly's narrative needed her to. Then she was the angry black SJW woman because Herschel's peen needed her to be. Now she's back to pro-journalist so Holly can exposition dump. She's the only non-self-insert, and it shows, because she's just plot putty.
>>700251>>700255The "joke" is Ash ignoring Herschel's outburst. Herschel is trying for anime-delinquent, and Ash is meant to be snubbing him with a bored/disinterested/"pathetic" expression, which only makes him angrier. That's why Princess acts like nothing happened - Herschel's anger is not a threat amd all women ignore him, that's the punchline.
Problem is Holly can't nail expressions, they're too extreme or inappropriate for her intended tone. Best way to fix this is to study people in art AND real life. This joke didn't land because Herschel's anger was WAY too strong and Ash's "ignoring you" face reads like sadness/embarrassment.
She's been retweeting this artist, who seems nice, but Holly thinks she's found a magic bullet and is using a lot of these tips without really understanding them. She's started "pushing" expressions just like this tweet, only it's not supposed to be this extreme ALL the time.
https://twitter.com/miyuliart/status/1022876055881875456>>700490Herschel isn't Edward, he's pic related, her "precious uwu son" of the moment. Herschel's two modes are "exploding in anger" or "smug and confident," so he's just mutated fandom Bakugo.
No. 700758
>>700730She needs to pace herself. She's apparently now aiming for a page a DAY for Chroma Prince? She's going to burn out even more trying to maintain that.
She's a fulltime artist, she needs to schedule like she takes this seriously as a job, 9-5 Monday-Friday to her WORK, not her hobby. One day a week should be for Purgatory, one for Paranormal Plague, and then two or three for Chroma Prince since that's where she wants to make money.
Assuming she spends 4-5 hours* on each page of her comics, that's 3 hours left to dedicate every day to her million other projects, like her coursework, her animations, her zines, and her merch/store. If she updated Chroma Prince twice a week she could have a whole day for that.
Though right now, she'd be better to use that time to make buffer pages so if something like SanJapan comes up her comics aren't left dead for weeks, growing irrelevant.
And then, TIME OFF. Two days a week where she isn't actively working. This can be when she does her self-indulgent doodles and sketches, which do well on social media, or when she gets the fuck out of her house and interacts with real people.
She has no time management to speak of, so she's just constantly stressed and scrambling to meet her own deadlines.
*If she's spending longer than that then game over, because her results are not worth that drain on her time and energy.

>>700248I didn't understood what it was all about until
>>700703 pointed out that the last shot is a "I'm ignoring you face" and not a sadness one.
Like literally Herschel looks really hurt on the verge of tears and Ash remorseful.
So I drew something fast and I hope it's not considered a complete redraw but I genuinely didn't understand the page was supposed to be a COMEDY in the first place. All the action happen so fast and the character's emotions look intense but not in a funny way.
I think Holly is trying to pull her panel layout and comedy from mangas but totally ignore that she has to change her style to make it understood that it's an absurd joke and not a real meltdown.
I obviously didn't put much time and effort into it, it was just to show off some anime tropes like the hurting bubble, the crow croaking in the background for a failed joke, etc etc. And I didn't even touch the last part cause you got the idea.
Also she doesn't seem to understand that there's mangas with very fast paced jokes but it works for them because it's filled to the brim with jokes. Hers is not that type of surreal comedy so she has to let some time pass before jumping from one joke to another (flirty Herschel to angry herschel)

I just wanted to highlight how the comedy could have been done (big caricatures during comedic relief panels, mangas tropes like being hit by rude bubbles and coughing up blood). I didn't want to redraw her page for her and start a circle jerk of redraws and derailing the thread.
The way the characters interact makes no sense, it's either they're too uptight or too intense. She can't nail proper faces either. Herschel looks in anguish, Ash just looks like she's intentionally rude but also feels bad for it and Princess reacts like they're all acting seriously. So the reader is left confused, is Herschel joking, or seriously hurt ?
No. 700838
>>700800Mistake aside your changes/additions are exactly what Holly was going for. But for future reference there's a thread for redraws.
>>243951She needs to decide if she wants to be "anime" or not. Purgatory and early PP were distanced from it, but since the big redraw she's been leaning into it hard. Either is fine but she can't have it both ways, embrace being an OEL-manga-style webcomic or stop leaning so hard on manga/anime shorthand.
>>700777I think she has written everything out, just never edited it and now feels obligated to stick to her script. Stories evolve and it's essential to edit your earlier writing. You can trim the fat and tighten the pacing, leave meaningful foreshadowing, maintain consistency, and most importantly make sure everything you'll spend time and effort drawing is worth it - will it further the plot, build the world/characters, have artistic/thematic value?
Holly's comics indicate she writes/plans ahead too far, then doesn't clean them up. She's been working on Purgatory since highschool for example and it shows. If she actually were drawing them on the fly they'd probably be more fun to read, in a crazy Dominic Deegan way, since it's not like they have continuity now.
She mentioned a script on her most recent Purgatory pages (in comment replies) but could've been joking.
>>700832This is all getting hard off-topic which is why redraws have their own thread but by making the first panel highest anon mostly fixed the paneling issue. The read order is much clearer than the real original.
Anyway, after making a video explaining she won't be doing Inktober, she's announced she'll be doing Inktober.

In addition, the what it's laid out currently made me think that Hersh and Ash are turning their heads in that middle black panel to look at Princess. That is legitimately how I interpreted it.
But yeah they all come across as assholes and I didn't even realize this was supposed to be a joke.

No. 701092
>>700244My guess is that it wasn't comedic this time.
Holly stated that Ash and Herschel USED TO be fuckbuddies, so she probably wanted to introduce the fact that he still has feelings for her, or thought they shared more than just their intimate tools, while she's pretending he's only giving her free stuff.
That way her look is kinda more justified because she feels bad about hurting his feelings but maybe they agreed on being
just friends and keeping distance hurts both of them in the process?
Still herschel is seriously unstable and I'd be hella pissed if my friends shouted at my face every two sentences.

>>701038Kek it is a mental disorder, that doesn't mean it's bad but the average person does not have gender dysphoria/dismorphia which is what makes it a mental disorder, just like those with body dismorphia, that's a mental disorder too. There's nothing wrong with that and it can be treated too with therapy and transitioning but to say it's not a disorder makes no sense

Then someone posted this youtube comment, and I weeped.

>>701507Is she retarded? The answer to #2 is obviously 'd'.
Proportions are actually pretty useful, especially when it comes to sales and art in Holly's case.
When you allocate money to different expenses, you need proportions; the amount you spend on an asset should be relative to the profit you'd stand to make from it. If you're mixing paint, especially large quantities of it, you need proportions. If you're printing your art, you need it.
Finally, (RMCAD anon again btw) this must be from the stupid new "math for artists" class RMCAD offers. It's supposed to be an alternative to finance, which was previously the only required math class. Even though finance is much more useful and practical. They should call this class "math for little babies who are afraid of practical adult math".

>>701507>>701576I can sympathize that even basic math can stress me out if I go into the mindset that I'm incapable of doing it, but man, going to a brick and mortar school would really benefit her when she has teachers to talk one on one with or tutoring services to use or even other students to interact with and stop her from destructive thinking. A local community college class in pre-college math would cost half each credit hour she's paying right now and rebuild her confidence in non-art related ventures.

that kinktober wowee she's not gonna link it, but maybe she won't do kinktober.
It's like she's trying to transition into a NSFW art sort of thing, publically but is too chicken shit to actually do it. She talks big shit like she can do it but hesitates to make the dive wholesale because she'll know she'll drop half of her audience, and the other half is underage, so she's been trying to skirt around and flirt with the topic.

I think it's because Holly finds that funny… but let's play humor doesn't really translate into drawn/written form since it's mostly about timing and delivery.

I know a lot of artists I was a fan of when I was a teen were actually not good at all, I was just enamored with a cult of personality. You see the same thing with youtubers these days. They're often not doing anything particularly interesting, they're just an attitude exhibition.

No. 702500
>>702469also, she commented a while back that she "made" hershel bi. like it was an afterthought, something she tagged onto his characterization.
she doesn't realize that attraction doesn't just inform who you literally fuck. it influences EVERYTHING in your life, how you view the world, how you engage with it, how you react and interact with and to other people… she doesn't get it bc much like hershel's, her 'bisexuality' isn't real, it's something she puts on like a cape and that she thinks can change every day. that's not how it works, sweetie.
No. 702540
>>702500To treat sexual orientation like a character trait is just as stupid as treating sex or race as one. As you say, it informs the way people learn to navigate the world. Humans are driven subconsciously by our interest in sex in such a huge percentage of our decisions and interactions. How society views the nature of that interest affects our self-confidence, fears, goals and choices, even if one is completely closeted.
One of the most conspicuous demonstrations of bad writing is characters seeming to have been born yesterday, formed out of the ether with a bunch of labels branded on their asses. "Mexican" "Gay" "Glasses" "Muscles" "Rapist" "Blood type AB"
She just seems to have no empathy or interest in people's lives. Even fictional people of her own creation. As long as they do what she wants them to do. I bet she treats real people in her life that way too.

A lot of people passively watch artube while drawing. So being able to talk well for 15 mins + and be vaguely interesting is all you need. Topic videos are basically just another genre of vlogging like let's plays are.
No. 702786
>>702776That's a good point. Looking at the comments under a lot of her videos, you see a bunch of her fans (especially the younger ones) commenting "notification squad~!" or 'i was gonna do my homework but then holly uploaded!' or latch onto some unfunny thing she said. If she's drawing or flipping thru a sketchbook the laser focus is on what they saw in the moment and that's the take away.
None of them are listening to the trash she's actually spewing so it's easy to consume.

Hitler - rapist, kind of a Snape situation but weird, he assaults Simon because he looks like his dead mom, and Hitler was in love with her, but she married Simon's dad instead, also high ranking "chord member" or whatever

>>703870I don't actually think she's a big Harry Potter fan though, isn't that "stfg im gonna get u cause u look like ur sexy parent idk" quite a common thing in some media? It started out as Damian being some kind of demon child "corrupting" Simon slowly, with it being shown through the color scheme (it was a lot more interesting back then…) For what it's worth she did draw some ugly HP fan art once though.

>>703911Yep she charged me for my copies. With how much they cost to make I think I might throw them in a bargain bin for $5 just to get rid of them at my next con.
She gave us the PDF and Nothing matches up. One of my books is missing credits in the back entirely, I know a couple artists weren’t even included in the PDF at all or the book but still were paid on the first pay date.
This whole thing is stupid and was totally something that could’ve been taken care of by doing pre-orders and fulfilling the artist orders first, and building up stock.

in one of her vlogs, she shows finished copies of seize, and then goes to say she forgot to ink a page and does that on camera. i've always wondered what she did with the "finished" copies after that, but i had my doubts that she would trash them. that she'd do that on the zine is a new low, but given how she's been acting about the whole thing not a surprise, tbh
holly is an absolute asshole
my advice would be to put pressure on her. demand she replace the faulty copies, keep bugging her about it. if she complains about production material, shipping, remind her that you are not responsible for her messing up her work and that there is such a thing as 'quality control'. even if the crooked cutting can be argued about ("it's HANDMADE, my dudes, what do you expect?"), missing six pages cannot

um she doesn’t give a fuck about you or your art. She pretty much refused to promote her own project, do the books correctly, or credit you properly in the damn thing. She’s basically saying we’re nothing to her.

No. 704187
>>704108 For the most part, yeah. I think this was kind of a deliberate move on her part, to pick followers who are either desperate fans vying for 'their queen's' attention or she just happened to pick artists who just wanted to ride her coat tails (which isn't even that big a deal since her following really isn't all that large).
One of the larger artists in that Zine is Michie/twisted disaster, but she's buddy buddy with holly and I highly doubt she'd say anything with holly's dick in her mouth lmao.
Honestly it's been like 3 or 4 months now, and nothing's been said, or done. By now, I highly doubt any action will be taken.
Especially now that that anon has shared describing the state the books are in, that lowers the chance of them taking it to a callout because they don't wanna be caught/identified as having posted here.
They should've just done up an anonymous post/blog on tumblr or twitter, and done it that way THEN come here. Calling her out, despite our best efforts, has gotten no one anywhere, so…too bad so sad, Holly will just slide them $20 and keep it moving with her bullshit.

I only found this place cause I googled her Trying to find her contact info when her zine email went fucking silent so this bad rep? it’s really all on her.

>>704187I see what your saying, but honestly fuck the other artist if they want to be wimps, then let them. At this point i think the artist who actaully do care should just call Holly out for THEIR OWN sake. You would be surprised by how easily Holly freaks out towards things like that. Some pics of the defective books, screenshots of emails and dates and ect are enough to gain attention. Fans problably will be a problem, but its tumblr and youtube and they are problably 12 year olds, their minds will change if a bandwagon starts. But someone HAS to start SOMEWHERE. Even if its ONE person.

>>704205it's funny to me that they're so scared of a bunch of preteens coming and talking shit on their blog when turning on anon will resolve 90% of that potential issue.
part of making it as an artist is looking out for yourself. that means if you create work for the purpose of getting paid and/or promotion, then you better make damn sure you benefit. rolling over and going "b-but the 12 year olds I am such a smol arteest" just ensures that you did a lot of work for literally nothing. hell, a callout post would likely go viral in the art community and get you even more attention.
I'm honestly past feeling bad for the zine artists tbh. what Holly is doing is objectively wrong. no one in the community except asslicker michie gives 2 fucks about her. but y'all are really so afraid of literal children making a bit of noise. lmao

>>705895Damn she really had no idea how to animate…
The least she can do is put a ton more in between and hold that one frame a bit where he notices a viewer. It says it's a second long but I'm thinking it might be better if she slowed it down to at least 2 or 3. There's way too much jumping around in what seems to be a kinda nonchalant typical anime head turn where ugu senpai notices you and smiles like the cute boi he is.
I can't seem to tell what frame rate she's going at, maybe 24 frames per second because of how fast it is, or maybe 12 since it looks like there are so few frames? Though I'm pretty sure it's 24. It looks like she's trying to draw on twos but is still missing a whole lot of frames.
It's not bad as a beginner animation… but I really suggest to start with the basics like ball bounce, flower sack, understanding s curve c curve before trying something a bit more advanced.
Holly if you're reading this, please at least double the frames shown in this and draw certain frames out, this is way too fast and choppy

No. 705963
>>705918I feel like this sudden Clever Kitchen dump is just her wanting to experiment again with animation.
First she pulls the NDA out her ass, and now she can suddenly show every fart she does because SCREW IT I'M PUTTING SO MUCH EFFORT?
Why, that's not how things work Holly. It's either you are under NDA and you can't show anything otherwise they won't give you your degree (which is honestly stupid and unheard of) OR you want to show things and you do it because yeah why not.
AND you want to show things because you're putting in so much effort but you do it NOW? Just like every time you make something and can't wait to show people so you make videos and show stuff THE MOMENT you finish something (or in most cases even START something)?
She obviously dropped CK and is going back to it NOW and since she lives for social media glory she HAS to post whatever she's doing at the moment. I refuse to think that this piece of animation took her more than a couple hours from scratch to finish.
Also she's really really great at erasing her own memory: lineless was easier and quicker and everybody using lines were stupid fuckers, can't you remember, Holly?
Also also she mentioned she changed a lot of stuff for this project, while she claimed to have worked for months over it. I mean ANIMATING it. Style and story should be approved BEFORE starting a project, not midway into it. This is further proof that this is probably something she's making for herself without any guidance, because there's no way they let you animate minutes of your short and THEN you get to change everything.
As for the comic pages: she's an absolute idiot. She admitted that she's used to bite more than she could chew and yet she insisted into a ridiculous schedule.
For fuck's sake holly, the fact that you CAN, MAYBE, spit out 8 pages a week, it doesn't mean you HAVE to do it. You have to consider the days in which you're sick or feeling low or if you have more complex pages, you need to build up a decent amount of buffer pages and THEN set your schedule.
You have to be realist of how many pages PER AVERAGE you can draw, she decided to go into daily updates after only two days of making pages, that is totally fucked up and OF COURSE she couldn't keep it.
It's one thing when we talk about the webcomics, because they're free to read; but she promised daily pages for her PATREONS. Before promising pages daily, be sure to have AT LEAST two weeks worth of content set aside so you can continue working on your DAILY plus the other tons pf project you place your sad ass into.
There's nothing to praise about what you do, holly, and if people get mad at you because you don't deliver, it's to blame on you and you ONLY. nobody forced you to make daily content for your patreon PLUS four pages each of your other two webcomics.
Shitting out pages like this is not helping her improve, because she's not thinking about composition or trying out new things or even draws backgrounds anymore. I personally would prefer something well made even if it's one page per week instead of seven pages a week crappily drawn and poorly scripted munguh.

Sheridan, a leading animation school has a website where students are allowed to post their works from over the years at the school and it's good to see some of the amazing stuff some students are already capable of doing like airin budiman and his story boards and short film.
Though maybe the copy right laws are different in america but last I remember as long as you post something and say it's yours I'm pretty sure you have the right to take others to court if they copy your idea and you have evidence to back up that you made it first.
I think it all falls down to ones own opinion in the matter and if your art is actually good
It's so annoying when people are like I don't wanna put my art out there in case someone steals it despite it being complete horseshit, but that woukd make sense for a school to see it online and think the student just copied it if they don't have the time and resources to check if the student actually did or not

No. 708715
>>708652I can’t wrap my head around how “long hair covering half the face” is supposed to be a type. I bet she decided on that hairstyle to simplify it so she only has to draw one eye.
>>708654Their hair is actually exactly the same…big swoopy face cover chunk, side part and weird horizontal flippy piece above the ear. She designed one character and then decided she liked it so much she used the same design with slight alterations for anther character. And she’s using the excuse of beef boy having a type to try and cover for laziness and bad character design.
No. 708719
>>708715isn’t that like the typical emo hairstyle? (aside from the bangs swept to the side thing) that’s not at all surprising coming from holly. still, the fact that reese’s and ash’s hairstyles are so similar is a bit off-putting considering that they’re both a part of the main cast. sure, their hair is different colors, but wouldn’t you want to vary them a little more, especially since they fill basically the same role of hershel’s weird sassy love interest(s)?
oh wait, this is holly we’re talking about. the same person who got so lazy that she turned all of her oc’s hairstyles into massive swoops and chunks of hair that she can just scribble out. even princess, who i think had dreads at first or something similar, got a single fucking braid that has a mind of its own instead. at least it doesn’t look like its going to spread its wings and fly away soon though, unlike hershel’s hair.

There's a lot of anime with unique and very interesting anatomy structures. You would think that as much as she gushes on MHA, she'd take some notes on unique character designs and even faces.
Her anatomy mistakes aren't even because of style choice or anything, she's just not double checking anything and if she IS asking people to check her work, she's most likely asking people who kiss her ass just because she's a skill level or so above them.

No. 711217
>>711096>>711070It was super obvious that she doesn't do anatomy studies when there was a page in Seize that had like 3 identical panels with angles of Hershel with his arms raised up, and the way she drew his arms was different
in every single panel. It's like she just made up what muscles were there, forgot what she drew, and then made them up again, over and over, on the same exact page. It's really pathetic that she doesn't realize this is an issue at all.

that is odd though. no doubt she’ll complain about how patreon is a shitty system that screws over creators or whatever sometime soon. i think she already did something like that in the past, but then jumped back onto it for a little bit of $$$ (as usual). Geez, you’d think she’d have an easy time getting stuff out to her patrons if it’s all digital.

No. 713192
>>713147afaik with patreon, if you choose to charge once a month, it's more of a guarantee that patrons will PAY every month, rather than a guarantee that you'll POST every month if that makes sense.
They do have an option to charge per creation, and patreon even suggests you choose that option if you post less than 4 times and holly should really pick that option tbh
No. 713308
>>713192but that would mean
1) being realistic about her goals
2) not getting to charge people for when she fails to deliver
tbh, it probably makes sense in holly's brain, to charge monthly. bc, obviously, even when she's not posting, she's still working on this stuff, my dudes. like, idk, but full drawings, they don't just, happen, you know. she works really, really hard on her porn, my dudes, and she deserves to get paid for all her hard work, y'know? like all the thumbnailing and plotting, that is work, too, and she doesn't get any compensation, even if eats into her PROFESSIONAL work, my dudes.

>>713927>>713930It's clear she can't do delayed gratification. That's why she spoils minor and major reveals for her comics months before they happen - she wants the smaller rush of attention from her fans NOW, even if it comes at the cost of the overall quality or suspense of her comics later.
Imagine if she'd managed to STFU about Damien's haircut. We hate Purgatory and we'd still be impressed, imagine how her actual fans would feel. Now it's just boring because we know how it ends. Reese's reveal in PP is going to have no impact when we already know everything about him.
Then again, if she can cover all the exposition outside the comic, she can go straight to the yaoi she actually cares about.
>>713935I'm shaking Holly what does this mean. Last time she talked about "the good part coming up" it changed Purgatory from just bad to irredeemable.

WANTS MARKERS. its not even like, a necessity, just "something she wants."
her patreon claims access to "10+ pages of nsfw per month," but with the final page of seize being posted on July 30th, in August we only got 2 of her sketchbook pages, and September we got her 2018 sketchbook and a "supplies" post no one asked for. she also started Chroma Prince on September 24th CLAIMING it was going to be daily, which she delivered on for a whooping whole 2 days. but she wants markers so fuck the fools giving her $250 a month i guess.

I'm appalled that the only reason she could think of for Damian's hair to be cut was so that he would look "less suspicious", even though Simon has long hair. His dad should be cutting his hair too if long hair on a boy is frowned upon in the community.
Of course, that was never established before or even noticed. Damien has had long hair since the very beginning of the comic and no one said anything about it.
I suppose that is why it felt shoehorned in though.
I thought she was working on a buffer too? Why did she post all these pages at once?
I don't know. I've read Purgatory twice, though. I was genuinely trying to figure things out, and make sense of it. I'm not hating on it, but it just really doesn't make sense. Even when something had a chance to be explained, it wasn't. Nothing has really happened, besides Simon being raped by Atarah.
I just think Holly really needs to let it go for a while. Just because you don't finish it now, doesn't mean you can't revisit it later with a fresh, and hopefully more mature take.
But as it stands, I just feel that Holly is beating a dead horse, for no better reason than pride I guess? She started it, and she claims she must finish it, but… does she even have an actual ending in mind? It's hundreds of pages in, and no ending in sight so…
Saged for being long and bloggy.

maybe if you weren’t such a pussy, you would say it to their face, BRown, or describe the situation better rather than ranting about it on tumblr just to get asspats from your followers. a hardworking professional artist could look at holly’s work over the past 2 yrs or more and point out her lack of improvement and tell her specifically WHY she isn’t improving, and she would throw a bitchfit just like this. not calling out the other person involved in her drama renders her free of criticism from both her followers and their’s bc no one has any idea who she’s talking about and whether they’re worth shit. (although really if you’re comparing any other artist to holly, she usually takes the shittier spot.)

aside from that, we all know she drew all of these originals she’s sellling now in a day or two, tops. the roy mustang is maybe the only one fairly priced (when factoring in the materials if it’s a watercolor piece of whatever, time spent, etc.) the kiki one is killing me though. they’re all ugly, but at least the others have some personality to them with the scenery and characters. this is essentially just a few motifs from kiki’s delivery service redrawn in her ugly style and copied and pasted onto a pepto bismol background color. a frame should never add that much to the cost, especially if it’s just a standard one that you could find at any store. granted, it is quite a large piece (didn’t she tape different sheets of paper together for it iirc?), but still, no one’s going to buy that. it’s one thing for a teen or young adult to cough up $15 for a short yaoiz zine or a print, even $50 for one original or multiple stuff, but more than that?? $300 fucking u.s. dollahs??

Aside from BNHA, the other anime, while they have their fans, aren't pulling much for kiki or FMA stuff. She's probably just doing art pieces of older anime because she thinks she's being so sophisticated with her choices.
she can make art of whatever anime she wants but all of it ends up looking so dour and sad, the color palettes on all of them are so depressing and muddy and all the subjects look so fucking uncomfortable. She has no quality control or standards.

also, who gives a fuck whether a fictional character is a worse person than another one. they’re both shitty people clearly, end of story. when she posts stuff like that, even if it’s unintentional, it almost gives the impression that she’s comparing an abuser to a serial killer as if to say, “well, he could be worse, so like, idk fam, give him a break.” of course it’s all fictional, but still. holly seems like an emotional manipulator herself sometimes.

No. 718026
>>718008I've never found it AS creepy, cause a lot of men are open about their wish to turn/rape lesbians and even under the cloak of anonymity not even goblins like Holly would claim that. (I'm sure some crazy women do, but I haven't seen it, and it's certainly not common.) I think that's actually the point. Before I realised I was a big ol' lesbian I was into the yaoi scene, many years ago, and for me the appeal was porn without seeing a woman being penetrated because I saw it as demeaning/ embarrassing to imagine it was me. A lot of straight girls have the same thing, being a voyeur is more comfortable than inserting themselves into a fantasy because women are raised to be ashamed of their sexuality, but it's that very separation that dehumanizes the characters in yaoi, the artists have no empathy for the characters because they have personally distanced themselves to allow themselves to comfortably fantasize about them. That's where you get the weird violent fetishes from. They're playing with dolls to vent their frustration- but they're not (consciously) fetishising gay men because the characters couldn't be further from realistic depictions of gay men. I'm not excusing it by any means, just explaining where I think the mindset comes from and why it's so popular. Basically, it's not AS creepy because fujos and their fetishes are generally not dangerous to gay men, where men (is there even an insulting term for men who fetishise lesbians?) could be and have been very dangerous to lesbians. Mainly it's just cringey and aspergers for a woman in her 20s to still be doing.

And yeah lol, obviously the non-con shit is gross as hell but I don't think it's actually a fetish like others here do. More so than getting off on the actual porn, I think she enjoys shocking her teen readers. It's an ego trip being seen as mature and cool and unfazed by taboo subjects. She has a lot of insecurity, I think it's also why she's so preoccupied with 'teaching' people how to do things.

>>718101Good point. I guess I wouldn't know what straight girls actually feel about it, just going by a few reports from girls I knew being less comfortable about porn with women in it. It's super interesting to me because we don't talk much in un-nerdy society about female attraction to anything but straight sex and muscles.
It absolutely affects gay men, I just mean they're not often in physical danger. Obviously it's still homophobic and awful, I didn't really explain it right lol, sorry.

>>718200Getting caught tracing, especially selling traced work, is pretty bad. That said, none of her preteen edgelord followers would care and she's already trashed her reputation with other artists so it probably would've just blown over without a peep. Anyway the timing adds up though, she replied to the tracing accusation yesterday afternoon then locked literally everything down soon after.
I'm worried about her because she operates in such extremes. I don't know if she still actively self-harms but I wish she'd get some real professional help. Her habits and coping strategies are all incredibly unhealthy.

>>718101>>718172I can't speak about Japanese yaoi, but I know that some American girls like gay shipping because male characters are more common and more fleshed out in American media than their female counterparts.
While voyeurism has a lot to do with gay shipping, I think the prevalence of the Smurfette Principle also plays a role.

Nothing says "I take rape seriously" quite like infantilizing the victim, fetishizing the abuse, and making creeky little jokes about it. A rape joke by itself is one thing (some people use jokes to cope), but when you combine it with all of Holly's baggage, you get a pretty gross situation.
Also, "Salmon" is an appropriate nickname, since Holly's characters are about as compelling as dead fish.

No. 718823
>>718663Literally all thats happened so far in purgatory:
Damian learns about the customs that take part in the new city he lives in
A solstice takes place implying citizens who have done bad are killed but because Simon's dad is board member he and his kid have a higher chance of getting noticed for their wrong doings
Atara threatens simon to have sex with him so that his boyfriend doesnt get killed(for not doing well in school as opposed to being gay??)
Instead of getting proof to a higher board member to kill atara at the solstice simon accepts where he then has a break down after about half a year
Simon's dad wants to move to the city where his gay son and his boyfriend will be safe and so they have to cut their hair
Atara is trying to make simon look like his mom so he can finally fuck his highschool crush
These are all the major plot points that have taken over 300 pages to write despite most of it could have equally been done in a much better way in like 100 - 175 pages
So why is she talking about an epilogue, is the book done when they move to the city???
No. 718964
>>718957It'd be more interesting if she wasn't so laser focused on her 'gay shit' yaoi porn fixation. It's the only thing she seems to want to put any actual energy and focus into.
But it takes less effort to draw a few crappy porn scenes and ask for money than it is to actually build up and work on a compelling story that anyone could enjoy. Sex sells and the money appears faster if she just sits around and draws backward dicks and 'trust trust'.
That isn't to discredit other nsfw artists who do it for a living but they don't half ass it. At least they're up front about what they do. Holly is always acting coy and dancing around it like it's a big deal, while pretending like she's so mature and secure in what she does.
She can't have it both ways. She's caught in this limbo of wanting to make a story that's accessible to a wider audience but then wanting to draw trashy porn that appeals to her fujo freak fans, and she ends up half-assing both because as much as she claims to, she's actually unable to focus on more than one project and she hasn't
ever been forthright about that to her self or her audience.

>>718895Who she fell out of love with as soon as she came up with Chroma Prince, which she fell out of love with when she realized how much effort it would take. The difference in how much fuck she doesn't give is obvious comparing the old color pages to the new B/W ones.
>>718823Purgatory reads like the bits that some other comic skipped over.
Normally a story like this would start with Damian and Simon meeting and falling in love, then cut to when Attarah notices this and blackmails Simon into a relationship, and explore that a bit before cutting to where Simon's dad is ready to take him and Damian and run.
Instead, Holly skips the bit where the extremely sheltered cult kids realize they're gay and start a relationshp, because what's compelling or interesting about that right, waffles for 100+ pages doing nothing until Simon gets raped, shows the rape but time skips so she doesn't have to explore the fallout and can just handwave away Simon's confusing relationship with his rapist as "it happened off-screen." Then more empty pages about Damian getting a haircut and Simon being a twink or whatever. She yadda-yaddas the good bits and draws the boring minutae instead :/
> it could have equally been done in a much better way in like 100 - 175 pagesNot even, this story has just enough content to comfortably fit a 30-50 page one-shot. There is NOTHING about it that makes it a 300+ page epic.

>>719879TL;DR: She copy/pastes standins for "complicated" characters like Al so she can move them around when drafting the composition, but she was totally going to redraw Al in the REAL final version, she'd never trace!!
This is garbage. The blue head construction she did in pic related is how you SHOULD simplify figures to quickly move/edit them, it's her fault for adding more detail. Tracing would be slower and more limiting, and also wouldn't enable her to quickly edit/redraw the composition anyway. She's contradicting herself. Her excuse is detailed figures are harder to play with, but her traced figure is more detailed?
Her evidence is these other two examples of using clip art/photos.
They look fake as hell. She went dark for 2 days coming up with a plausible excuse and thought she needed other examples of photobashing. The Deku/Todoroki example is absurd. She already planned to use a screentone for the trees, why would she photobash? No human artist would think of doing this.
She repeatedly acknowledges it's bad and ineffective, that she "probably shouldn't do it," etc. Holly infamously NEVER admits fault in her own process. Pointing out holes in your own lie is a biiiig tell. She's happy to cop to this "bad habit" because it's better than copping to tracing.
She's either lying or has the world's worst drawing process, and bad artist she may be, but my money is on lying.
She's distracting from the real issue by calling this "toxic drama" about "referencing" and "not freehanding," all buzzwords to soften "I got called out for tracing."
And she again said she "deleted" Twitter and Tumblr when she didn't. Deleting would be much more drastic so it sounds like she's fishing for sympathy.
She would've carried this all the way to print if she hadn't been caught.
>>719880All of them lmao. She keeps calling it "referencing" so the comments are "all artists reference uwu"
>>719884She apologized IF anyone THOUGHT she was tracing because she toootally wasn't. She's not apologizing or owning up for anything, she's saying she's the victim here of "toxic social media" and its "drama." The most she apologized for was posting it and for being "lazy," but not for tracing. She's sorry she got caught.
>>719938Even her physical merch has art lean. Remember she got her own zine printed profesionally after she realized she was shit at it? Nobody can defend this.

No. 719988
Christ, guys, don't be worse than the commenters on Holly's video.
References are to help you understand what you're already drawing, not to copy 1:1. Say you're drawing an arm and it looks all fucked up because you don't know how arm muscles work. You find some reference photos and you study them until you understand how the muscles fit together, and you apply that knowledge to fix your image.
You don't just take a photo of an arm and trace over it, that teaches you almost nothing.
People do master studies where they try to get their drawing as close to their reference as possible, but you usually don't present studies as your own original work. And there are times where tracing is appropriate and acceptable but it's not the same as referencing.
>>719976TBH most of the shitty redraw artists probably think tracing is how you "use references" because it isn't teaching you how to actually draw.
>>719981Broken anatomy is actually a symptom of poorly traced art and not a defence since she doesn't understand what she's copying.
Write "sage" in the email field.
Otherwise, glad to hear that something might finally be happening with the zine artists. IMO the worst thing Holly has done to date is insist on printing this zine herself but getting her own doujin printed professionally.

At least in the buff miku one, i just cant see where she traced the anatomy of the photo ref, it just looks like she made up her own anatomy but vaguely copied the pose.

>>719995ain’t no way she knows anything about human anatomy. it’s blatant in literally every single other drawing she’s done. i lean towards the theory that she freehands while looking at the reference, but the cowboy bebop drawing makes me think that she took the pinterest pic into photoshop and vaguely drew the characters over the people, if that makes sense.
the zine thing is on a whole ‘nother fucking level though. someone HAS to post that and get it out there! that is the shittest craftmanship i’ve seen in a long time. someone who has never printed artwork professionally before or done book binding could still do a better job than that. there’s no excuse for that, especially considering how long it took her to make and send it out. only problem now is that if she actually deleted her twitter, then the only places to show this piece of trash book are on tumblr and yt. i think posting it on twitter would have gotten a lot more traction than those 2 sites, but maybe not.
u guys do what u want to, those of u who are zine artists. i hope things end as well as they can either way, but this should be one of fhe last straws for anyone who remotely gives a fuck about BRown and her “career” that just seems to be her shitty excuse as to why she won’t leave her house.

>>720002Honestly if more gets out, on top of the fact that she deleted her twitter, her "career" is effectively fucked, moreso than it has been. I could be wrong, She won't have as big a sounding board because twitter is where she would just spew and rake in those edgy teen fans. Here's hoping.
And here's hoping for more Zine bullshit because holy SHIT those print outs are atrocious. If I was an artist, I'd be pissed. That's an insult, she basically just spat on the zine artists.
26 copies and she thinks the person receiving them won't do a quality check (when she should have done it herself
in the first place)??
No. 720023
>>720002I was literally just looking at her Patreon, (which only seems to be in a linktree on her IG bio now). It's funny how she's still bringing in like $250 without having done a single thing. Does she even do those private livestreams? No discord??? No PDFs??? Yall might as well be burning your cash at this point.
I bet you she doesn't talk with or interact with any of the people who support her. She probably doesn't ask them what they think or what they might like to see, or even thanks them for their support. Nothing. Just radio silence. If you want to see ANYTHING from her, you'd go to her twitter, which she posted MORE content on for free lmao. What a waste of your coin, but continue to get ripped off I guess.

>>719953God, this dumbass. It's not concept art dipfuck, it's an art print. The same rules don't apply to both.
Also, concept artists just do photo-bashing for the initial pitch and brainstorm. The actual concept art is still shit they draw themselves.
This is an individual piece she is attempting to sell, which makes tracing completely inappropriate. I can see someone tracing as practice in their personal sketchbook, but selling traced art? Fuckssake.
Remember when Andrew Dobson was lambasted for tracing Big Ben in a print he was trying to sell? It's almost like Holly is
trying to be the next Dobbo.

>>720054Kind of actually, but the thing is that you can't really let everything slide because a bully turns around and makes herself a victim. Holly is super manipulative, and it's pretty important to remember that.
No. 720060
>>720054yeah, but it’s kind of pointless to think about. some ppl think of these threads as just bullying and hate, which, to be fair, a good amount of it is basically that, especially in Holly’s eyes since she doesn’t take any kind of criticism well. I don’t think anyone’s told her to commit suicide at least; in fact, lots of ppl have expressed their concern for her mental and physical wellbeing and described ways in which she could improve on those aspects. (albeit, not so politely worded, but otoh, Holly is supposedly the queen of taking no bs, so.)
i hope she doesn’t do anything like that though. yeah, she’s been making some big mistakes lately, but she CAN rectify them (like sending the zine customers refunds or better quality books). it’s not the fact that she’s making these mistakes that annoys ppl now so much as the way in which she handles the aftermath, or lack thereof. everyone fucks up, but it’s easier to gain respect when you acknowledge it and try to better yourself than when you ignore it and blame other ppl for “misinterpretations” or what have you. (re: holly has difficulty understanding pov’s besides her own and should probably work on that)
No. 720069
>>719089Holly's politics aren't really that bizarre or abnormal. Nothing milky since most likely half the people in America agree with her "conservative" views.
Also I don't think having rape in a porn comic is really that much of a bad thing. It's a fantasy. Porn artists rarely if ever get in trouble for depicting noncon since they're honest that "it's just porn". Holly gets in trouble since she has to rationalize it. Also, because her audience is mostly underage and she doesn't explicitly portray herself as an adult artist. The fact that she acts so sneaky/dismissive about it is what attracts negative attention.
No. 720071
>>720059 in this case she isn't a victim. she's a liar and a manipulative bully. yeah she's got mental health issues for sure, that I hope she gets help with, but none of it is a free pass to treat people the way she does. I think that, while her "I want to die" statements are very worrisome given her self harm history, they can also be a bit manipulative appealing to a more sympathetic and forgiving audience.
she's not getting the help she needs and i think that'd be the best investment she would make for herself, not spurging on art supplies and piling on projects as a coping mechanism.
Again, none of it is an excuse to treat or talk to people the way she has.

Don't dish it out if you can't take it, BRown. And especially don't try to put yourself in a position of authority when you do shit like trace and screw up zines.
>>720080>>720110That keyboard is filthy. God Lord, get a Clorox wipe and clean that shit up.
>>720137It's irrelevant what concept artists do, because she's not a damn concept artist, she's a comic artist.
How fucking hard would it have been for her to just draw it herself? If the tracing was a place holder, why post it in the first place?
No. 720148
>>720144>"If the tracing was a place holder, why post it in the first place?"If the traced bit was just a place holder why trace it in the first place? I mean wouldn't it be easier to just leave the stock image as is than actually go over it and trace it? Holly 100% was planning to slap muddy colors onto Al and pass it off as her own work.
Also it's not really irrelevant what concept artists do since certain techniques aren't just limited to certain art fields. If a 'comic artist' wants to use 'concept art' techniques more power to them. Of course said 'comic artist' is still responsible to make sure their final piece doesn't violate copyright.

>>720389Also something to note about photo bashing in the video game industry: yes when concept art books are published the art is making money, but the original pupose of the photo bashing concept art is to quickly and effectively pump out prop designs by the hour n
NOT initially used for the purpose of selling as commercial/fine art for consumers.
Also nobody fucking traces someone else's work in the industry you fucking retard, yeah people save a bunch of photos for mood boards and a starting point for idea flow but no professional in the video game industry directly traces a peice of art.
Shes so fucking stupid i stfw she always acts like she knows how certain industries work without ever working in that kind of field
holly if youre reading this and actually want to get into the video game concept art industry try checking out real youtubers are actually activley eorking in the video game company and actually know what the fuck they're talking about.
A good start would be Trent Kaniuga, FZDSchool, and maybe bobby chiu but hes more of a motivational speaker than soeone who actully teaches anything

So does she think that Simon and Atari are in a happy consentual relationship despite being statutory rape? He keeps willingly fucking Atari so it's not rape obvious, it's impossible to manipulate or take advantage of someone so they're obviously just dating and it's clearly had no impact on his psyche.

So linking that livestream makes it worse.
Her fans tho, they're not even going to bother, they're probably going to ignore it entirely and keep worshiping their 'queen'. can't really help that.
It's actually also amazing how long she managed to keep these other issues at bay.

>>720593>Many people have never been taught these things like mental manipulations/grooming etc. Realizing that rapists are power hungry and that you have the power to thwart them is what gets them caughtSo it'll be extremely simplified and probably tasteless, and she's still implying it's Simon's fault since Atara is only getting away with it because Simon lets him? It's not like Atara is literally blackmailing him his boyfriend and his family or anything. Nope, just go public and your rapist is immediately "thwarted," no repercussions, even tho Holly herself is on that "false rape allegations are the real problem" train irl
If she really cares about doing a meaningful rape arc why isn't she listening to people with actual SA experience telling her she doesn't understand rape??
