I keep seeing this kind of art popping up everywhere all of the sudden. How do the artists get this sort of VHS-esque texture on their art like this? Is it a photoshop or CSP thing?

>thinking artists who have followings would spare a moment for you

lol. 99% of these guys have their head firmly lodged up their ass and are FAR too arrogant to spare a moment for you. they'll ignore you outright and then when called out claim "well i have a life" or "i just dont have the time to respond to everyone".
in reality, they think that the more people get ahold of "their" stuff, the less unique that makes them. so they basically say fuck you and ignore you.

this is and has always been the case. if you doubt it, look back at all the people who i'm sure you've asked for their brushes and whatnot. same shit every time.

>what brushes do you use?
>i just use the default brushes thats all.
>how did you train or get good?
>just draw
>where did you get that texture?
>insert any vague answer to mislead and look like you're being kind while intentionally misdirecting to keep "their" unique look to themselves.

it's ironic because most of these people don't have uniqueness, they just so happened to successfully steal someone else's idea and incorporate it early enough into their art that everyone attributes it to them

There's no fucking way to answer this that will ever satisfy you. The second one especially is a uselessly broad question. I've tried explaining things to begs on /ic/, and they still ask for more or don't get what you're talking about. What you want is understanding to be directly uploaded into your brain, but it doesn't work that way. It's never really a brush or a specific training style, most artists don't give that much of a fuck about their exact tools, it's the artist's skill that's making everything work.
Also who tf would want to respond to everyone that messages them? You're thinking about it from your perspective, not from theirs.

Ugh its annoying dealing with many modern day artists. Theyre either full of themselves or not all that talented and still full of themselves. One of the other artists isnt even impressive but good enough. Ghosted me after seeing the requests complexity.

you guys can bitch if you want about that other guy but he's not wrong- "just ask" usually works from almost nobody on the internet. I've asked so many artists questions both broad and hyper-specific and have almost received radio silence. It makes sense because artists have some desire to gatekeep their techniques in order to keep being the only source of that imagery.

It's retarded to pretend artists are largely desperate to build each other up. Giving moral support is not the same as giving up trade secrets or doing anything in the way of unionizing. /ic/ is fucking retarded if they think OP was ever going to get his answer straight from the artist themselves. If anything, that artist probably only found out the technique from some private discord.

The program they used was most likely ntscqt for the vhs effects. I can tell because I use the program myself. Usually I go for a more subtle vhs effect, but with my example drawing I used a kinda similar setting to what the artist used in this piece. It may not be exact, but that's probably because I exported it relatively small and didn't put as much grain. I didn't know what art of mine to show, so I just randomly picked a joke drawing I made and put it through the program.

If you like what's popular your taste is obviously questionable

you're such a whiny envious coward lmfao. All those questions you mentioned are useless, your problem is just not using your braincells enough to figure it out.

OP here, thank you so much for finally giving a good answer and giving this thread a reason to die. The rest of the faggots who forced this thread on for so long need to stop wasting their time here and go draw.

I think when it comes to art and having a interest in an artist work, you have to be specific of what you like about it.
Like if all your replies to their posts are "I really love this stuff!" "Looks nice!" then it does get a bit weird/monotonous.
If you are able to specify what you like, then it comes across as genuine, Like "I really like how you used subtle leading lines to point to the hands of your OC" or "Your color palette for this is just really groovy to me for some reason, keep it up!" then you don't look like a bot and you practice you observation skills with art.

Talk about retarded. Art isn't about being led by the hand of those more successful.
If they told you their training process involved eating actual human shit before drawing, would it satisfy your autistic need to ask dumb shit?

God, a lot of people just going off bullshit and not answering you.

Yes, there's a few CSP auto-actions that does it, but personally, it needs further tweaking to look as good.

You can do it manually too, its a bit of a hassle, but not impossible, since all the auto-action does is play a recorded set of actions.

There's a few YT tutorials on how to do it too so you can look it up. It's not as hard as it looks, all it is takinga finished drawing and doing a bunch of shit on top of it to crustify it.

But also, its good to keep in mind the old art style and color style too, keep it near to that, and tadah, its gonna look alright!
