need plan and inspirations
to finish coloring my painting, fill the canvas
and get maybe 60k sales/traffic from each

Any tips to make your art 6 digits on social media? It seems evident that you need some kind of presentation to get the numbers... but my styling is different so... how do i get the same amount too? Computatively?

Or is it perhaps that only one and one styling only gain the kind of traffic it gets?

I just found this board and I already feel home, so I decided to start a thread about some of my favorite 80s metal.

One of the greatest prog/heavy metal albums of all time. One of the first metal albums to experiment with synthesizers and wow did it sound futuristic for 1986.
However, Queensryche reached their zenith 2 years later with this one:

Operation: Mindcrime, a politically-charged concept album about a drug addict named Nikki and his role in a shadowy revolutionary organization. The moral in short is that there will be jackals who exploit people with ideals for their own gain.
Another interesting one is Iron Maiden's "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son".

Their most progressive rock influenced release to date; similar to Queensryche's "Rage for Order" in some ways but still definitely feels like a Maiden album. Bruce Dickinson's vocals, the keyboards, and the interesting songwriting is a treat for anyone who loves this sort of proggy stuff.
Now, I know I posted 3 progressive metal albums in a row, and I just want one more before I move onto other things, so bare with me...

Voivod's "Nothingface". Extremely experimental for something from 1989, it's "proggish" but not in the vein of these other albums which are prog in their use of "grandiose" instrumentation and unusual songwriting, and while this album has the latter, it's in a class of its own. Perhaps the first "avant-garde metal" release ever; it's very dissonant, but also weirdly melodic. Sadly the guitarist, who went by "Piggy" passed in 2005.
Alright, now let's move on to death metal because I'm not a big thrash guy (I like thrash but I'm more of a death metal guy)

Let's talk about our favorite artists, albums and songs from these years.
So, what's your favorite Japanese singer over 50?

Does wapchan enjoy visual kei?

>What is Visual Kei?
Visual Kei is a musical movement that originated in Japan in the mid-1980s. Appearing out of Japan's punk and metal scenes, visual kei is an aesthetic, rather than a genre, pulling imagery from gothic rock, punk, shock rock, glam rock, speed metal and hair metal, often wearing elaborate costumes and flamboyant hair.
The movement expanded beyond it's hair punk and glam metal roots in the 1990s to cover a vast array of different subgenres and genres, ranging from extremes such as brutal death metal to accessible genres like synthwave.

let's post 90's black metal classics, starting off with this EP right here.

Any of you ever read foreign works heavily inspired by manga? I feel like with how seperated Japanese manga and western comics are these days, series that bridged the gap dont get much appreciation these days. Can you believe Ninja High School has been published continuously since 1987?

I'm trying to find an old flash animation that used the song "言葉にできない"

A japanese meme or something back at the time.

It was a compilation of "fail" scenarios that constantly plays in Japanese everyday life... like dropping an entire bowl of instant soba inside the sink while trying to take the hot water out. I think there were several engrish signs examples, "you had one job" memes, and I think I remember this sleeping panda too.
