<what is ACID?>
ACID is an achronym for
Art of Character Illustration and DesignWe are a club that focuses on building skills and fluency with different character design and illustration concepts and rules, as well as learning good critique sharing and receiving skills.We hope to build a community of character designers and illustrators that share commonalities, but also offer different perspectives that influence their art styles.
<what are ACID's goals?>
Our goals for ACID are:
To create a time for busy students to freely create their art pieces
To learn the rules of character design and illustration, and then expand upon them
To encourage each artist to explore their own unique style, and learn techniques that help them express what they intend to
To supply artists with a place to get inspiration, guidance, and critique when they need help
<does ACID require funds?>
Not necessarily, the club isn't designed to require many materials that artists don't already have themselves.While this is true, if ACID gains enough members to request funding, we would use the funding to purchase an english art class that is voted on by the members of the class to learn the skills needed to progress with either character design or illustration!
<how does ACID operate?>
ACID is structured to have mostly open time, with optional scheduled critique sessions. At the beginning of each club meeting, a prompt will be discussed for artists that need the inspiration. If you don't want to participate with the prompt or the critique, there is no pressure to do so! Just enjoy the space and time to create.
We might talk about general character design or watch a tutorial together before we have funding for classes, but if we receive class funding, we will schedule those to run during club times.
<what do I need for ACID?>
While both of our presidents take a digital approach to character design and illustration, the club can work for all levels and all mediums of art! Whether you are an ipad user, a fan of pencil and paper, or have another medium you'd like to use, the principals of design and illustration are very similar.A computer is suggested, however, so club members can access Toyhou.se which is a character storage website which we will discuss more about in the club!

Nice to meet you! This is my first year of college, and I'm very excited to be at TUJ! I've been a semi-professional character designer for around 4~5 years now, working on different projects with different teams to sell my character designs on an online platform.
I specialize in humanoid and anthro character design, outfit design, and want to improve my rendering and background skills!
my hobbies include art, cosplay, playing video games, and playing dnd!
Hey hey! I'm a hobby artist with a passion for cute things! I dabble in a range of mediums, but right now I am focused on digital art. Moving forward I'd like to take my skills in a professional environment and work in a creative field.
I specialize in illustration and humanoid character design. I'm always working to make my art more dynamic ^^
I sleep a lot
(Ren stole all my other hobbies)
