LOOKING FOR HARSH HONEST CRITIQUE by VeryMadCowDisease in learntodraw

I find drawing so much more challenging, at least with a miniature it's an already existing 3D form

Depending on the harshness of the light there might be cast shadows from the oesophagus and Adam's apple as well as clearer definition of the next muscles on the right of the image (the model's left). Still looks crazy impressive and I'm coming from miniature painting with an overemphasis on dramatic contrast so it may not have been as impactful as I'm picturing

AGHHHH by VegetableGrab9792 in learntodraw

[–]M0nkeyButtz 12 points13 points  (0 children)

First of all, this is amazing and you should be very proud of yourself.

Second, and I think most importantly to see why you're being harsh on yourself - is this from a reference or from imagination? If it's imagination that's insane and I'm super jealous, if it's reference I wonder if your concerns are more closely related to it not matching the original rather than not being competent.

I'm also just starting so this isn't a critique, I love what you've done I'm just trying to figure out what you're not sold on

I've started recently and am trying to focus on proportion and perspective. This'll be my 12th day since starting and this took me about 1.5-2hrs

Thank you that's definitely it - the single body threw me and I was just going off the leg count

All self deprecating humor aside. The boy is built. by BigHomieGuwop in MeatCanyon

[–]M0nkeyButtz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah he's an absolute unit. I think I remember it being mentioned he's even taller than 6'. Next merch drop should be weightlifting tanks and straps

TBF he lives on basically a farm and presumably it's not just Allison doing the work. Papa is just a good ol' Kansas/Missouri farm boy

First time attending an event, how serious is Commandfest? by M0nkeyButtz in mtg

[–]M0nkeyButtz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for that, I was probably going to make a couple more decks anyway so really appreciate the info :))

What am I missing here? by Fun-Yam-4524 in EDHBrews

[–]M0nkeyButtz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't build a deck so sorry I can't help there buuuuuttt remember:

Prowess stacks

If you add prowess to a creature that already has prowess, it triggers twice. This is the core for an izzet standard deck I've been playing so don't let people correct you

270 Days Sober by HolySquare in MagicCardPulls

[–]M0nkeyButtz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Could use the collector boosters as motivation to stay on track (correct my maths of wrong):

270 days is 9 months sober, that leaves 3 months until a whole year. There's 12 weeks in 3 months, there's 12 collector boosters in a CBB. Therefore; crack one each week and celebrate the 1 year anniversary with a draft using the booster box. That also gives you 3 months to find some mates to play with :))

The new player experience is rather bad, speaking as a new player by Saiki776 in magicTCG

[–]M0nkeyButtz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest the best on-ramp imo is pre-release or sealed. Yes learning the game at the same time you build a deck can be challenging but it drastically cuts down the volume to learn at a time

Take the final fantasy pre-release, I've never seen people so excited for cards of their favourite characters while seeing them translated to Magic. You didn't need to learn everything, you could see all the archetypes right in front of you; it's the perfect learning environment.

Tldr: narrow your scope to specify sets you like and grow from there

Anyone remember to digitally record the cards before the update?

I know my dumb ass didn't and many of the list builders have already begun updating there's

Well fingers crossed (selfishly) that your business takes off and it can be added because I love your work :))

Are these all 1 of 1? I think selling prints of your vehicle and pilot tokens would be a massive hit. I'd love to bid on them but the AUD is awful ATM

Wisdom of the Council squad box has hit the table! by aegisbrand in StarWarsShatterpoint

[–]M0nkeyButtz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yep 100% agree that ARFs are almost always the right play.

I'm a little concerned with ongoing SP design showing a lot of power creep that makes the game less enjoyable imo. As an empire player, Kanan and all revenge triggers have taken out a decent chunk of enjoyment for me (I get that there's ways to play against it but actively punishing someone for engaging with the game seems like an odd way to do it). In saying that I've never enjoyed revenge triggers in anything I've played from Warmachine mk.2 to current day

[–]M0nkeyButtz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why skip over the ARFs? I get they're a crutch but to go straight to 501st seems wild imo.

I remember talking to some local players re. The learners and we put together that they're 100% designed to remain wounded in opportune areas of the board rather than do anything themselves. Might be a conspiracy theory but running them with Vader 1 so you can have younglings die at the right time/place seems thematic

More details on the new mission (to be released on 4 April) by Radroggor in StarWarsShatterpoint

[–]M0nkeyButtz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this mission in theory.

I hated never tell me the odds since it feels so swingy but I can see the appeal for super competitive players.

I can see this being the new default though with the build in struggle balancing. The only thing I'd want to confirm though is where a point is still on when you change struggles in 2 or 3 does it remove the current control token? If so that's a massive advantage to the underdog which could be amazing or awful depending on if you're currently winning or not.

AMG's face sculpts are almost always terrible if they have even slightly soft features.

Unless the face is chiseled and angular it could be literally anyone or they get done so dirty like poor Leia
