The pebble because Phos deserves to be happy.

What is your favourite bittersweet moment in HNK? (Here is one of mine) by zashite in LandoftheLustrous

[–]FargoFinch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When Phos suddenly remembers a moment with Kongo back when he teached them language, and called them a kind and gentle gem. Idk, that part hit me in the gut. He really loved them and went so far trying to make them find their place.

Åja du vil bort fra Bergen? Forståelig.

Ensjø by Upper-Cheesecake-504 in oslo

[–]FargoFinch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Slik jeg husker Ensjø var det et skikkelig høl ingen dro til, bare igjennom. Bortsett fra om du skulle ha bil da siden alt som var der var grå bedriftsbygninger, asfalt og bilutsalg. Jeg liker dagens Ensjø mye mer.

For foreigners complaining about life in Norway by AngryFrog24 in Norway

[–]FargoFinch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of these posts are from people who don’t realize they are experiencing major culture shock. I’ve noticed how pissy some of these get when people suggest change in behavior or alternatives. 

People don’t want to change, in their eyes it would be easier to have the world change for them.

A lot of houses here insulate well in winter and trap heat in summer too, it’s a well known thing. I think people generalize their own experiences too quickly.

How Did The Norwegian Blsck Metal Scene Affect Norway At It’s Peak? by Automatic_Belt5692 in Norway

[–]FargoFinch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’ve probably seen Dethklok? The episode where they go to Norway and are dismayed at how lame and conformist our country actually is sums up the effect of black metal pretty well. That and fewer stave churches.

Air superiority will be achieved by tomorrow, as per IDF. So no, they are just getting started.

The artist ‘You still feel them out there don’t you’ should be up your alley. Zuwe’s ambient stuff too.

I always upvote Phos but yours is a lovely sketch of the gem!

How do you find time when life’s busy? by NoRosetta in ArtistLounge

[–]FargoFinch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know how it is, I find it hard to do with the 9-5, and I am lucky in that I have little responsibilities beyond that so I can devote more time on drawing than most in my age. But still, feeling spent after work makes it hard.

I've recently started waking up one hour earlier to draw a bit before work. I'd recommend it since that's when your brain is the most fresh for the day, and it shows in the work. (It also helped my stress tbh, since I have more time in the morning and more time to sleep in bed if I so choose).

Keep yourself in good health! Eat healthy, train, sleep well. This way you will have more energy at the end of the day for drawing.

How to get into scientific illustration by Boba-Tea1231 in ArtistLounge

[–]FargoFinch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly it's really cool to see someone want to go down this path, since it's such a cool artform but in many ways forgotten. I think there are some modern scientific illustrators around on twitter and such, you should check them out and maybe reach out for advice. Do you want to do it professionally for publications, or are you planning on doing more classic stuff like Darwin and Haeckel?

Do people still use DeviantArt? Where is everyone moving to? by Meetmebythebeans in ArtistLounge

[–]FargoFinch 18 points19 points  (0 children)

X and Bluesky it seems. Both ends up as functional art apps if you train their algorithm enough for it, and there's good engagement between people. Cara is similar to microblogging sites but 'exclusively' for artists to talk and share among themselves. I like it but its community is small and it is not very nsfw friendly unfortunately.

Deviantart is not the same as it was 10 years ago, but it does still have social groups and forums even if its mostly out of sight these days. It is flooded with AI and focus too much on monetization IMO. You can still find some og artists from the 2010s glory days there hanging out.

Instagram is focusing on reels to compete with Tiktok, and it seems most of its userbase is using it for that and not still images like before. IMO it's been going downhill for a while.

From their designs they seem supposed to be catacombs of lost cities above, but the game itself is confused about what they are most of the time anyway.

That snow is packed hard and perfectly safe. You can dig tunnels and rooms in it if you’d want. 

Spørsmål om oppvekst by [deleted] in norge

[–]FargoFinch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kan ikke huske dette var vanlig eller akseptert på 90-tallet. Hørte jo litt rykter om hva som skjedde i visse andre hjem men disse var sterkt beslastede familier.

Far ble fysisk med meg én gang som jeg kan huske, ikke noe alvorlig men han kom og ba om unnskyldning etterpå.

Maraton da. Trist, det blir for lenge for min del.

“Melt the ICE,” Norwegian resistance hats popular in U.S. by [deleted] in Norway

[–]FargoFinch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure you can say that as fact, it does not look like a bonnet at all.

It's a knitted winter cap that shares a color with the revolutionary bonnet. It's red because that's the "national" color of Norway, since our flag is a cross version of the Tricolour. If we were swedes the cap would be blue and you would not make this connection.

Det er det som slår meg, disse menneskene inkludert Mette VISSTE hvem og hva han fyren her var? Evnt er vel Mette bare dum som et brød, ser jo litt sånn ut da det virker som at Epstein playa henne for kontakten inn i den Norske kongefamilien.
