I’ll just put this out there I am completely delulu, but I am dedicated to the delusion. I live in part of America with zero Chinese speakers, so I have absolutely no practical use for mandarin in my real life. I started learning entirely because I am obsessed with c dramas and want to ditch the subtitles. More than that, I’m tired of translation wiping out all the actual flavor. Boring English subtitles comelpeltely destroy things like chengyu idioms, xiehouyu puns, poetic wordplay etc. Be honest, do you guys look at a westerner (specifically me) doing all this just for TV and think “silly American,” or do you get it lol?

I need to talk my ass off right now bc I have been looping this guys album nonstop n I’m literally actively romanticizing life to an extreme I’ve never done before because of it. None of my real life friends get it. I have never, EVER felt this intensely about music in my entire life.

For some context my music taste is extremley selective. Normally, I’d only ever listen to mainstream American pop, K-pop or any other genre of music as long as I took immense appeal to it. I’m also new to Cpop despite having listened to Chinese instrumentals before. Most importantly I am highly selective with my music. I do not add filler tracks bro I just never add a whole album to my library. If a song dosent hit my soul it gets skipped. No hesitation

But 我們 made by xiao zhan (which i just discovered today) completely broke my brain. I genuinely love every song on this track list including the intro & outro. Every single one is flawless.

Tthe way it is put together is insane. It opens with this gorgeous atmospheric track that builds up to this heavy movie/cinematic like tension and then it transitions flawlessly into the first song on the track list 我們 I’m just not ok after listening to this dudes album I feel like all music is just ruined for me now 💔

The transition into that song is so precise and cinematic it gives me the actual full body chills. The orchestration is so sweeping and powerful completely letting his bc ovals take center stage. His voice has this thick light mature texture to it now. It starts off so vulnerable and intimate n then it builds up into this epic atmospheric wave that just completely enchants and sweeps you away. If you don’t get the message by now go listen to that album now!!!

I need to make something crystal clear : this album has genuine soul to it. And I don’t throw that word around cheaply like almost everyone else. Not once in my entire music listening career have I actually said a song or album has a soul within it. And I don’t mean it like the typical bullshit people throw online to describe any random slow track. Or a random song regretting a relationship. It feels like he actually poured his real unfiltered life experiences and emotions directly into the microphone n u cna physically feel that weight. Is it crazy I fell in love with a song?

And let me tell you, this msuic sounds ten times better when it’s being blasted right through your eardrums at full volume. It is officially my favorite album of all time. And 我們 is easily my favorite, FAVORITE song on this entire planet and might stay that way permanently. It is Literaly a complete different level from everything else and I’ve listened to hundreds of excellent songs but none of them hit like this. If you’re going to listen to this album do not skip through any song or skip even a little trust me you’ll realize soon enough

I am js so crazily in love with his voice n I need someone to freak out with me! Do yall think I’m just over glazing it? I’d love to hear ur opinions lol.

I’ve heard some people manage to convert Photoshop brushes into Procreate brushes, but I’ve researched it and nothing helpful is coming up. Can anyone explain how this is actually achieved? is there a specific method/tool being used to convert them? Any help or step by step step explanation would be awesome. Thank

Hey I primarily get all my brushes I use from Chinese WeChat groups the people who distribute them are almost always selling a course however most of these course sellers distribute their brushes for free without needing to buy it. I’ve come across many high quality brushes sets from these offerings and my most recent one had instead of roginsl created brushes instead they were straight up stolen western brush products lol. Some notable ones include Jingsketch hade long brush set etc etc. well I just hit the jackpot I guess I don’t have to pay hundreds of dollars to collect these brushes now :3 if anyone is looking for a brush comment it below and I might have it

Im looking to commission an experienced animator to create a custom animation for a Roblox bundle that will be sold commercially on the Roblox UGC Marketplace.
Payment will be made in Robux. All Robux used for payment have been earned directly through UGC sales and are eligible for DevEx, assuming you meet Roblox’s own DevEx requirements.

I’m looking for someone who understands clean, high-quality character animation and can produce work suitable for a commercial marketplace release. The final animation must be original and licensed for commercial use.

Please only message if you are comfortable working through a clear commission process and can provide examples of previous animation work. More information about the bundle, animation direction, and references will be provided privately to suitable animators.

Trying to help a friend out who’s just starting out. He recently finished a realistic male Roblox bundle and honestly I think it turned out really well, especially for the price. If you’re looking for a more realistic avatar instead of the usual blocky style, it might be worth checking out.
It’s priced pretty cheap, so if you’re interested I’ll drop the link in the comments. Appreciate anyone who gives it a look.

i’m planning on learning zbrush as a hobby so i can sculpt realistic body models for roblox ugc and hopefully make some side money from the sales. i’m a teenager and i’m not trying to turn sculpting or ugc into a serious career.

i already do digital art on procreate and have studied realistic anatomy, proportions, muscle groups and insertions and I’ve almost mastered anatomy. how much of that knowledge usually transfers over when learning 3d sculpting?

i haven’t properly researched zbrush or watched tutorials yet, but i will soon. i mainly wanted to ask which brushes you recommend for realistic anatomy, whether i should begin with a base mesh or sculpt from scratch, and what the usual workflow looks like from the first blockout to the finished model.

my plan is to sculpt the body in zbrush, then import it into blender to retopologize it, separate the body parts and adjust everything to meet roblox’s avatar requirements. Is there any issue with my master plan lol? Any advice from people who moved from 2d digital art into zbrush would help.
