Since sketcher has turned into a commercial product, the free copy we used was taken down from the forums. Sciboy set up a room for CA thats paid for for this month.
The new room is online now at http://sketcher.artgrounds.com/conceptart


Hope to see you guys in sketcher.

[edit by sciboy]

READ THE FAQ FROM BEGINNING TO END BEFORE ENTERING! Most trouble that happens is due to people not reading the darn thing.

are there rules about penises and vaginas?

John

Yes. Unless there are kids around, there is no penii or vaginas to be drawn. If there are kids drawing furries tho, both must be combined on one person.

Just a tip, if you want to dump the entire canvas type /save
It'll make a PNG file which if you want to post here better be converted to JPEG.
Also good for those art pieces that you've been noodling on for hours and don't want to lose in any case, just /save regularly.

February 21st, 2007, 01:32 PM
Thanks chaosrocks, on the last cap in your post, the face at the bottom right corner is from Asoir, and the green guy upper left is from Davi indeed.

Here's a cap from a bit later than the last one, I'm really not sure of who made what, Spongie and I made the skeletors thing (actually, what's your nick on CA Spongie?).

-Hey Chaosrocks, somehow I can't get on it after the last disconnect, it keeps saying 'connection refused'.. any idea?

February 21st, 2007, 01:59 PM
Same here Coen. Connection refused.

Here's some random cap in case no one else saved one (otherwise I guess there'll be a more finished one), some great work at it! Bottom left corner is from Seer, the green guy next to it from Davi, bottom right guy from Sciboy, the little face in the middle at the very left is from Spats I think, and the face in the middle is made by Toaster (hope I got it all right, this is all I remember :D)

February 26th, 2007, 09:34 PM
Indeed it is.

Had some fun, but i noticed some quirks in the program. (or just me being too stupid to figure out the tools properly..) When i was at a high zoom level the drawing tool was very unaccurate. (hence the face suckage.) Very fun to watch the guys go at it, its an inspiring environment to doodle in! come on in and try it some time!

Stark
February 26th, 2007, 11:17 PM
I'm so going to rape that chick man...that was awesome watching. Along with some of kicek's stuff too...

I agree, everyone should come in and have fun. If not for drawing, then watching some highly regarded guys duke it out

Flynn
February 27th, 2007, 01:15 AM
tonight was indeed fun ;) keep it up slash ;)
I propose that since this program is now actually being paid for (had to happen sometime thanks CA!!!) that perhaps some kind of snapshot system be done?

Like mebe a screencapture every hour-30 mins? Posted to CA`s site some place for all to see who dont want to wade in? Itl make people more curious :D
Or failing that a way to capture it every couple mins, it would be cool to see a video of all that goes on, but sped up plenty ;)

I have a question, is Sketcher more like Photoshop or more like Painter? I've only ever used photoshop, and must say I like sketcher much more, it seems more fluid and the smudge tool works very well for me.

Slash
March 2nd, 2007, 12:04 AM
Then you arent setting up your brushes correctly, cuz photoshop is much more fluid and responsive than sketcher.

I cannot connect to Sketcher. It states 'connection refused' which is beyond me why it would be. When attempting to log in at different times with a fresh browser on multiple computers the Java applet loads and stops before even initating the first layer.

Would anyone else have the same or similar problem?

The java applet loads for me, but it says 'connection refused' in the status window and then exits. I suppose you could ask Thor - it runs on his server, as I recall.

I think it's fine being open. There are some stoopid people who go and draw wang all over the Sketcher space, but I think having moderators on an art thing like Sketcher would be bad.

It start with just removing the giant penises being erased and the creators of them being kicked...then would come the erasing and kicking of people who put cleavage on girls...then would come the erasing and kicking of people who draw in a different styles or draw different subject matter...then Sketcher would be an un-fun place to go.

The capstone of all that would be people saying something like, "Why does Sketcher have moderators?!"

Well... Graffiti really isn't the problem. It's ##$#@ who come in, delete a layer and then run out. If you've been working on something for a while, only to have it vanish due to some #%#@$%'s vandalism, you'd be somewhat upset also.

Beonarri
August 5th, 2007, 08:39 PM
Yeah, I can understand that. But, the point is that you have to take the good with the bad. It isn't out of hand as far as I can tell, whenever I'm in the room, no one else is there aside from Spats, maybe shou, and one or two more.

Besides. You can save by typing " /save " into the the chatbox. So, every so often you can save a copy. I know that won't help much if you still had further, but at least you'd have a copy.

No you *don't* have to take the good with the bad. What if we took that attitude towards medicine? Or anything else, really? The argument you make is nuts.

Sure you can save it. That's great. But vandalism can easily be prevented and it is within our power (well, Thor's, really) to do so. No need to act like 'tards.

Beonarri
August 6th, 2007, 04:09 PM
Nice! Awesome argument...this isn't medicine we're talking here. It's free speech. The arguments used for whatever happens in medicine and whatever happens with free speech are totally different. But, no, really, I love when people jump up and use logical fallacies like they are golden arguments.

You can't exercise power to prevent people expressing themselves, even if they are selfish, five-year-old types.

You've missed the point. I was saying you can't have moderators controlling an artistic expression device like Sketcher.

Thanks for showing that maturity, BTW. Arguments about showing maturity in a chatroom and not messing with the way it functions really holds together when you threaten someone with a punch to the head.

Umm... You seem a bit... Dense. It's a quote from Voltaire regarding personal rights. He was expressing that one's rights end where they begin to infringe upon another. In other words, the right of vandals to delete layers end where my drawing begins. I'm not talking about moderating what's drawn - hardly. I'm talking about people coming in, randomly deleting layers and leaving. It's simply done out of spite and there is no defense of it.

Beonarri
August 8th, 2007, 02:16 PM
Well, obviously I've never read Voltaire, so the reference was lost on me. It sounded more like a threat than clever bit of philosophical patter.

First thing, I would like to say that I do not support cyber vandalism of this kind. It's a pretty lame, dickish, childish, petty, and stupid way to get attention for oneself. The problem is you cannot moderate the activity. It would cause an erosion in what Sketcher is, and defeat the whole purpose of the chatroom-sketching program. That purpose being an open, free place to come, talk to people, and draw publicly.

Now, you could try to get the 'Remove Layer' function removed. Petition that Thor guy, get lots of people to agree with you, and have the function taken out of Sketcher. But, the same people using that function to destroy artwork, would come it, take a tool, probably the Eraser, throw its size all the way up, and presto! A whole layer, erased.

So then what happens.

Yep, someone petitions for the tools to be changed...or a register to be created...or moderators to be added. If a register was created, then you'd never have new people joining up, it would take away the open aspect of the program. And, as I mentioned before, you can't moderate something art based, because there are too many opinions on the subject of art.

So, the same. I joined artgrounds yesterday because of "shared secret". And yes, it seems like DeviantArt room, manga cute wolfies, yes, yes,... BUT, there they have like, registration and sort of system against the vandals. (Also they have some stupid rules, like "clean after yourself when leavin")

In this discussion about the Registration need VS er.. Artistic liberty, nice anarchy atmosphere, or whatsover you are talking about, in CA paintroom, I am joining the first side. I've met these "funny" kids with erasers few times when I was finishing drawing. And ok, it's just sketcher, if you want to seriously draw, draw in PS, blah, blah, sketcher is about fun, yes, but I just don't see fun in this. It's more sad and frustrating, to say the thruth.
