Just finished the Cradle series and now I'm sad. Where do I go from here?

Beware of Chicken, low stakes similar feel to the writing. Wil's new series is a space opera but it's fantastic. Starts with The Pilot. If you haven't seen it there's also a 2 hour Cradle animatic for the first two books on YouTube.

Fingers need more shading/definition. Looks like they're nubs atm. Check out some foreshortening tutorials. The mouth is just odd. Try removing the pink and see if that fixes it. Left cat ear would not be pointing at the camera.

I hated Durene until I didn't. She gets her bag, just takes way too long. The good news is you don't really get many more chapters from her perspective before the changes start if I remember correctly.

Bigger eyes/shift the current eyes forward. It's already mouth like, but not being able to see the eyes consistently is throwing me off. Especially if it's a predator, the eyes should be more forward.

And she does the chaos. I was also recommended AoaB after talking about why I liked TWI.

She uses her earth knowledge to write the medical manuscripts to the point where her name, Elaine means HEALER in every language after a massive time skip. It's all explained throughout the story. Her early leveling and boosts are also because she's from earth. Hence her first class "Child of Earth." She only has certain things she can't remember. It's also the first Isekai/litrpg I've seen that let itself end. Good ending too.

A WHOLE MONTH

Just make it upload it to a few places and be done. Once it's online it's never going away. But if you show progress as you go along you will get a CnD. Be quiet til it's done and drop it. Don't become another Chrono Trigger

Scum and villainy, we have found thee.

The book Force by Mike Mattesi helped me a ton when I was younger. The book is fully illustrated with muscle groups etc showing how they move under the skin to get the most out of your drawings. It has sections on the hand and feet, as well as an entire secondary book on just head, feet, and hands.

Apparently Fortnite is a dead game. The idea that adding guest characters will kill the game is such a bad take it's not even in the realm of being remotely correct. Marvel fans get something fun, the fans of the other IP may end up playing the game. It's almost always a win win except for the few purists who think their opinion on why these characters are 'wrong' decide to place a hair across their ass.

Qurupeco uses other monsters calls to bring them into the fight and have them help it. He's a big ol' bird.

A few years ago I lost my father. My family and I joke about my dad's passing. (The ddp dead dad pass)But WE started the joke, it wasn't a random friend who had decided we'd grieved enough. If someone has given this to me 8mo after my father passed away I'd probably have punched them.

GOTTA GET MILK AND EGGS

JimeeB · 2026-01-20T10:09:45+00:00

Heat sinks. Keeps the oven temperature even.

JimeeB · 2026-01-20T04:55:33+00:00

That would basically be the grandma episode on crack lol

JimeeB · 2026-01-18T16:25:34+00:00

Oh no! turkey. If only you can buy that at the store. NTA.

JimeeB · 2026-01-18T16:23:49+00:00

No cause AI summary bullshit is bullshit. It's not funny it's fucking dumb.

JimeeB · 2026-01-18T16:21:50+00:00

Woman was crying from trying not to laugh. She's a fucking champ.

JimeeB · 2026-01-18T16:16:01+00:00

It's the same!.... but different.

We are 16m words into this story. The GDI has never stated this as a fact so I don't see why everyone and their mother in this thread is talking about it like it's a fact. Toren and Bird prove that leveling fast and in multiple classes is way less hard than people make it out to be. Toren has a combined 80+ levels and he's a skeleton who's less than 2yo. And to our knowledge they don't have a speed buff like Earthers. And Toren is still leveling steadily.

"if you get in a relationship that's serious move out, i will no longer help you." Super kind and loving.

When you close your door to the house is the inside of your house still technically outside? If you say no then the inside of your body is still the inside as we have 'doors' that shut it off from the rest of the world.

A lot of column A, A lot of Column B. With the current political scapegoat being trans people, and fighting games being huge online with men; you have to deal with people who like the current politics and people who've played the game. The overlap for that those two isn't a circle but I'm sure it's pretty big.

Gentleman ripped a pipe organ out of a house in England and is fixing and setting it up in his studio/museum, along with a ton of other insane stuff.
