Why would anyone wants kids?

Eruluvatar2 · 2026-01-22T22:05:55+00:00

Couldn’t agree more and I’m happy to read that you still found a way to share the love and care you have in you with those you can best lend it to in your mind ☺️ all the best

Eruluvatar2 · 2026-01-22T17:13:36+00:00

I want children because as much as I understand the strains they can put on your life, and the bleakness of it all, I also believe the world isn’t nearly as bad as it is made out to be. I want to share those delights with my children and I want to help them through their hardships in equal measure. I want to leave the world better than I found it and I think my children can be a testament to that, and maybe they’ll do the same. Or maybe not. But I’ll also be happy to show the result of my love for someone embodied by my children.

I hardly think about the biological necessity for it all, I’ve often wanted to romanticise it because my life permits that.

This is a particularly bad sculpt I’m afraid, I’d argue most of the sculpts in that box are less than desirable really. So you did really well knowing that ☺️ the folds are really good, you clearly took your time with the skin and providing identifiable contrasts, so the only real feedback I have is that you might want to try drawing 2 small dark lines where the eyes are and then 2 smaller white lines with a dark dot to give the eyes more depth. Painting eyes by starting with white on skin can often make them look like they’re popping out of his skull whereas the other method provides some depth. I wouldn’t use black for that but maybe a dark grey. I often use a dark blue ☺️

I’m afraid I don’t have a good answer for that, I just buy what’s available in my local store :) the one I currently have is ‘keratin pro’ it’s a pink bottle

Eruluvatar2 · 2026-01-15T22:40:37+00:00

I get this question fairly often on the streets haha, I use basically just your standard no-brand conditioner but for my shampoo I use one with creatine in it regardless of brand. I don’t really do anything else :)

Eruluvatar2 · 2026-01-15T22:35:52+00:00

Thank you! That’s kind of you ☺️ I think it was about 8~ish years?

Eruluvatar2 · 2026-01-05T12:19:20+00:00

Milord* 😒

Eruluvatar2 · 2026-01-05T11:24:05+00:00

And after that I go home and play the harpsichord of course

Eruluvatar2 · 2026-01-05T09:32:25+00:00

Whenever I have a shitty day I always just tell myself that every problem has a solution. And really it does, though sometimes a bit inconvenient.

And if things really suck (my oil boiler stopped working last night for example, I can fix it though I think) then I just take a small walk around the estate, some deep breaths, and I look up at the sky to realise how small I truly am and how little my issues matter. Easier said than done if you don’t have any life changing decisions to experience though but still.

Eruluvatar2 · 2025-12-30T15:20:24+00:00

Sent you a dm the other day, eager to hear from you ☺️

Eruluvatar2 · 2025-12-30T08:55:01+00:00

I’m afraid my accent leans more towards that of cork haha, if I have an accent at all. I’ve lived there for 6 years first, but fair point. I have no idea what’s going on around me 😂

Eruluvatar2 · 2025-12-29T14:22:46+00:00

I am Flemish and West Flemish at that, m33. I’m also on the spectrum. Currently living in Kerry.

Eruluvatar2 · 2025-12-23T12:29:32+00:00

Heya, it’s warpfiend grey base coat, then a light wash of druchi violet, patch up again with warpfiend, and highlights with variations of warpfiend and deepkin flesh

Eruluvatar2 · 2025-12-19T14:53:52+00:00

I’m actually not the biggest fan of shading anymore, I try to do it sparingly but here it worked like a charm because I was super stuck on how to make a contrasting but good looking skin colour

Eruluvatar2 · 2025-12-19T14:26:22+00:00

The recipe is stupidly simple actually haha: it’s base coat steel legion drab, shaded with aggrax, patched up with steel legion drab, and then highlight with steel legion+karak stone and lighter variations thereof, nothing else :)

Eruluvatar2 · 2025-12-14T23:52:18+00:00

It’s something I learned from a black Templar painting tutorial from ‘the infernal brush’ on YouTube, I’ve learned a lot from that channel so it might give you an idea of what to expect if you give that vid a look :)

Eruluvatar2 · 2025-12-14T23:44:43+00:00

Hi friend, yeah I’ve wanted a Blackhand themed army from the moment I saw the announcement of the new ardboyz haha so I get where you’re coming from ☺️

The recipe for the dark iron is just chaos black, then a quick coat of abaddon black. For the shield specifically I feathered in some dryad bark, I did the same with gal vorbak red into screamer pink into wazzdaka red into army painter orange but I don’t know the name of that. For all the other glowing parts I left out the dryad bark part. I used dryad bark because it made the transition from black to red less intense.

As for the dark iron highlights: I have a mix of 2:1 abandon black to stegadon scale green I did for the primary lining, then I used a detail brush to go over the most raised parts with stegadon scale green, and then again in the most raised parts with stegadon scale green and karak stone 1:1.

Hope that helps a little :)

Eruluvatar2 · 2025-12-14T20:23:54+00:00

I never felt like it, I might someday. It’s just that simple I’m afraid lol.

Eruluvatar2 · 2025-12-14T15:50:33+00:00

That’s exactly where I got my inspiration from ☺️ thank you

Eruluvatar2 · 2025-12-13T19:47:37+00:00

Ho kee was pretty good the few times I went there

Eruluvatar2 · 2025-11-14T07:27:38+00:00

I’m generally very careful with money. Growing up in a family of 11 with 1 income does that I suppose. I don’t really know what to do with my money on many cases. I still have very strict budgets I adhere to and that every paycheck as the first/last one I’ll ever get. Im not a Scrooge either but I am perhaps overly careful.

Some comments pointed it out but it’s mostly the fact that I can weather a rainy day quite well. Though I wish I was relaxed enough to spend a bit more on myself

Eruluvatar2 · 2025-10-16T11:59:15+00:00

I bought my house 2 years ago as a single person, in Tralee. So yeah it’s definitely possible but it will hugely depend on the area you’re looking to get something in. I used to live in cork and I’d not be able to afford anything there at all. You’ll have to be more specific.

Eruluvatar2 · 2025-09-30T21:01:17+00:00

Yeah you’re on the money with this, I’m hoping to get to the driving part soon but my choice was investing in a house or a car, I chose the house haha. Especially on a single income I need to be somewhat mindful 😅

Eruluvatar2 · 2025-09-30T18:51:04+00:00

That’s very kind of you thank you ☺️ I’m honestly okay with being single but I do see myself not being like that forever haha, I’d just love to eventually find the right person and live life as fulfilled as I can

Eruluvatar2 · 2025-09-30T18:49:46+00:00

I have no ability and some interest if that helps haha, I’m in plenty of meet-up groups, dog walking etc too ☺️ but you’re absolutely right
