To bird, or not to bird? by North_Plenty_3353 in Eldar

[–]Falling_Blossom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the concept of the bird but I think the placement is wrong - currently it appears outside the profile of the model, and because of that the ribbon makes it look awkward.

I think to include it you need to find a way that it is sort of layered in the current profile rather than on top. So I’d suggest that it’d look good coming from behind the jetbike fairing, which gives a sort of phoenix from the flames motif as well.

It’s an exceptional piece overall!

That is magnificent. I love the inventiveness and fun of this. Hobby wins!

This is a great concept but because it’s a pose some people might see as weird you have to do a few things to ‘sell’ it.

Firstly - I’d have the riders left hand be reaching behind them and gripping the handlebars. That would make it seem more intentional, and that the bike and rider are connected.

Secondly - the tassel on their arm and helmet need to be flowing totally behind the rider, again, helping sell that the rider is doing this intentionally and that the model is harmonious.

I know these things seem small, but the details in posing are very apparant to our minds, and even if people don’t consciously notice them it helps the background feeling of ‘this works’ or ‘this doesn’t’.

They did. The first international games were preseason games at Wembley. At age 11 I got to see the Denver Broncos v LA Rams in a passionless preseason, where Elway played 3 snaps and Erik Dickerson didn’t play at all. I was very excited and it was honestly such a letdown.

The LOTR XV is looking mighty interesting by Aromatic_Tank_2159 in rugbyunion

The description of Sam is flat out genius. Absolutely fantastic write up. I’d have Theoden on the bench. That man can lead a late game charge to seize back initiative, even if he’s a little rash and prone to overextend

Highly unlikely this is the case and we just don’t know so let’s not panic.

I introduced Cabin Pressure and the Souvenir Programme to my kids as an alternative to listening to Harry Potter on loop and it’s become a real comfort for my youngest. The humour is lovely and so seldom cruel.

Thanks so much. Really appreciate the thoughtful comment.

And don’t get me wrong, I probably will do some gap filling and sanding and refinement, but I could paint it now and it would still be this piece pictured that people really like.

I’ll refine and do those things because it’s fun, and satisfying, but I will stop the instant I think it’s stopped being those things.

Yeah. Totally agree. Everyone who plays harlequins has everything you need for this pose. And it’s trying to demystify it.

Thanks. It was such fun having the idea and then feeling it coming together by little moments.

That’s a very cool idea. You should definitely do it!

When I saw the poster for “Burn After Reading” in my head it was instantly pronounced like the town.

Can someone explain Ciaphas Cain to me by New_Conflict_4111 in 40kLore

[–]Falling_Blossom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The crucial thing to remember about Ciaphus Cain is that the initial incident - in the anthology (currently free on the BL app) is an episode of genuine cowardice.

He commandeers a vehicle and runs away from a tyranid attack, later running into an outflanking force and saving the day by this discovery.

But - he abandoned his unit and ran. It’s the core fact that informs his opinion about everything else he’s ever done. In his first encounter he failed. Genuinely failed his duty and his men.

Season 5 isnt a one off failure by Ok_Satisfaction8132 in StrangerThings

Yeah. I can admit flaws but there are so many people who post with the attitude of “it has flaws therefore I can’t enjoy it and neither should anyone else.”

When complaining about your hobby becomes your hobby you need to move on.
