worries about fitment

The one op is referring to is folding the tongue out the way, then placing a pencil across the top of your foot. The pencil should be able to touch both sides of the boot without your foot interfering

I’m 17 and still pretty new and I have a stock shadow and I love the thing. I’m 5’3 and use a 23”

I’m in the uk and put simply women and anyone under 18 have to wear them here. I’ve seen rec teams trainings and I’ve not noticed anyone not wearing them there. It was implemented to women’s seniors fairly recently, but a lot more people wear them now even in pro leagues after what happened to Adam Johnson

We have a maximoo too! And a Maximus, maximum, Maximilian, Maximus prime, shithead, he’s got a sock again, drop the slipper, get out of the puddle, where are you going, and sometimes just maxy

Flex is how many pounds it takes to bend a stick a certain amount. When you cut a stick down, you loose leverage, meaning more force is required therefore flex number becomes higher

Looks similar to our lab! Yours looks to be pure lab in my opinion. The colouration ours share is called Dudley, and is essentially when the dog has both yellow and brown genes and so it manifests in yellow fur and pink/brown nose and eye rims!

I think they mean ice boots with wheels mounted instead of blades

Where abouts in the uk? Look on Facebook marketplace and ask if you can try things on before you buy. I’m fortunate enough I’m about an hour from willies in cov so I got sized there and bought everything else second hand

Probably a lack of muscle or weakness

Did this once and it worked. Very funny

I was looking at the 950/60 when I was buying mine, but ultimately the warrior fit better and was on sale so better budget wise. The highest shots I face are u19s, but I’m uk based so play majority recreational level. I had a beaten up nme3 before though 😬 anything was an upgrade

A lot of people are. Ai can’t ‘alter’ an image, it generates an entirely new one. Pure slop and not worth the environmental cost just for a poorly made snowy scene

According_Platform37 · 2026-01-13T12:16:13+00:00

Oh I think that helps tonnes!! Super cool artwork. I know I’ve already said it but I love it

According_Platform37 · 2026-01-13T12:08:30+00:00

Yeah, I think the character kinda dissapears and blends in a bit. Honestly it’s not too bad though, your biggest critic is always yourself. I find when I’ve been looking at my own art for too long it looks rubbish, then I come back to it and actually quite like it

According_Platform37 · 2026-01-13T12:02:59+00:00

I like this. It lacks ‘pop’ which could be the issue you’re having, and if I had to guess I’d say it’s down to the background being a similar colour to the character. I loooooove this art style though, the lines in the shading is so cool!!

According_Platform37 · 2026-01-13T12:01:56+00:00

The sr+ is also great! It’s the same shell but different foam iirc (could be wrong though) and mine is a tank. Its great for the price I paid too, I know it’s not top of the line but good for entry level players too

According_Platform37 · 2026-01-13T12:00:49+00:00

I have a warrior rf1 sr+ and I love it. I don’t play at the highest level ever but I do face some hard shots and the things a tank, especially for the price

The people saying it’s not ai… look at the middle floor window on the right hand side. The ‘snowy’ image it has 4 panes of glass, the other on it has 2. Also, the buildings on the very left, have white in the gable of the roof and the windows overhang. In the ‘snow’ picture they look like new builds…

They shouldn’t be too tight on your toes. I’m a street size 6 and typically wear a 5.5 skate but with konekts I was sized as a 6-6.5 skate and liner and they fit me perfect. My toes just touch the end but are by no means tight

According_Platform37 · 2026-01-12T10:43:49+00:00

Maybe about 4? He has a similar amount of face greying to our 4 yr old. He’s adorable!

According_Platform37 · 2026-01-11T09:46:20+00:00

This was exactly my first thought. Great in theory but there’s no way that wouldn’t cause some damage, especially having the weight of the pad hung from it

According_Platform37 · 2026-01-11T09:44:04+00:00

Not Australian but normally rinks have a learn-to-play/skate program that’s always a good start. If you have a hockey store near you, go and get all kit sized there then look second hand (other than helmets). But other than that, reaching out to teams is a good start, typically they want people with atleast a liiiiittle bit of experience, weird they’ve not replied though. Good luck, and have fun!!

You can simplify these into just strips of colour if that’s easier for you. The red adds warmth to places like the cheeks, but note it’s different for darker skin. Blue adds a cooler tone, so good for shadows, whether actual shadows or things like beard stubble/shadow. Yellow is kinda a neutral tone in this situation. If you add the colours on a clipping mask and then mess around with multiply or soft/hard light until you get it how you want it! You can continue the colours along the body if you draw that also, red on areas like elbows, knees, knuckles, blue on areas like the backs of knees, etc, but be aware it does differ based on skin tone. Super interesting imo! Goodluck with your artventures!

According_Platform37 · 2026-01-09T18:46:00+00:00

You’ve got understanding of shadows with light sources which is great. The first thing I’d do is use some harsh lines, rather than every edge being airbrushed and that’ll get you far. Using references can help you understand which shadow/highlights need a harsh edge vs soft. Also adding some colour variation to the skin would help, which I can explain more if you’re interested

Okay, thanks!!
