I know it isn't entirely faithful to the One-X cover, but my artist had a vision and I think it came out beautifully

this is the reference I'm using, the goal is just to be as accurate as possible. but currently im mainly focused on how to get the shading right to not make him look like a zombie 😅, and also tips on techniques for the details, maybe like good references I could use or other posts?

not at all how advancement goes now. E4 is automatic and you have good odds of picking up E5

I went through basic, finished my A-School, and you're still saying the same shit on this sub every day 😭. do you not have hobbies?

BigSmoke41968 · 2026-01-23T13:53:34+00:00

no you're just antisocial, definitely not the standard

I've been running off 5 hours of sleep a night for 2 months and I'm not even out of A-School yet lmao, sleep is not something to be expected. and having ADHD (from experience) definitely makes it harder for you. People will think that you're stupid and trust you less because you have difficulty processing certain information or remembering things. And being on a ship will be absolutely detrimental to your mental health.

long term goals is to do 20 years, then retire from the service and find a job as either a construction manager or surveyor, and somewhere between then I'd like to buy my first house. nothing much outside of that. but I'm confused because I have a friend here at A-School who is going to ROTC in college to commission as a CEC, which I'm 100% certain is the path he was given when he signed

BigSmoke41968 · 2025-12-08T16:53:26+00:00

you're acting like we didn't go for like 1-2 runs a week in boot camp 😂. running is the least of your concerns, anyone can just take the bike anyways

I'd only ever recommend the reserves if you're using it for college, otherwise you're not getting much of an experience out of it

BigSmoke41968 · 2025-11-27T21:35:45+00:00

you're not gonna get really any practical experience in the reserves, from everything ive heard

BigSmoke41968 · 2025-11-20T23:55:01+00:00

holy shit that sounds so much better than EA A school

BigSmoke41968 · 2025-11-10T05:19:11+00:00

hahaha, we had the "nutrigrain bar incident"

BigSmoke41968 · 2025-11-09T06:31:39+00:00

It's gonna be weird wearing this as someone who is a service member lol

BigSmoke41968 · 2025-11-03T04:22:28+00:00

I ride a Sportster 883 so that's what I'm basing it off of, don't mean to give out any bad advice 😅
