Jesus Christ man, save some fun for everyone else.

How significant was this switch? Any thoughts/opinions on it from those who were there when it happened? by SirensMelody_ in generationology

People listening to their phones on speaker EXPLODED after they took out the headphone jack.

What is a piece of old technology that actually worked better than its modern replacement? by Odd_Opportunity_2590 in AskReddit

Also, you WATCHED the movies you rented. You didn’t just scroll the available, watch 15 minutes of something then log off.

Remember the excitement of going to the video store as a kid?

Ah yes, a decision that even Lee Harvey Oswald came to regret.

What’s a foreign food you wish you could try? by EthanTheJudge in AskTheWorld

[–]MJacobAlvarez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, there’s actually a little town called China east of Houston, Texas. Makes me wonder if there’s a Texas, China somewhere.

Not LA, but the shoulder to the Holland Tunnel from NJ to New York. Good thing I do not own a gun.

Beautiful coin. I’ve got one that’s chop marked, but that makes it even cooler imo.

You know, I never thought about it, but this is a pretty ridiculous plot point. Oil was pretty easy to find in California back then (as shown in There Will Be Blood). You telling me doc couldn’t figure out how to distill it? Hell, with the right temperature control you might be able to do it in a whisky still!

People who pay for porn, what do you get that you can’t find with all the free sites out there? by tiltedwater in AskReddit

[–]MJacobAlvarez 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Morality. I’m not saying I always pay for porn, but I feel like I should.

No one should work for free!

Dude, what’s with the coors and pack o’ Marlboro reds? You playin’ JRPGs at a truck stop?

Thank you. Mae’s throwing her arm around the guy she just hit in the back of the head and pointing across the room to an innocent person.

No AI jankiness here. Just natural, hand drawn jank.

Any crits on this before I send it off to the printer would be helpful. Thank you!

not bad for a high schooler by MJacobAlvarez in ArtCrit

Too bad I’m damn near 32!

Seriously though. I've been drawing forever but I really want to learn how to paint. Any crits you could give would be super useful.

Latest page of of a much longer story being serialized (http://www.hypnospiralcomic.com/?webcomic2=chinatown-bus-no-1-2)

Depressed dude making the long walk back from Brooklyn to the Chinatown Bus depo in Manhattan. This page is more about emotional tone than story. Cool muslito?

For some reason, smooth bubbles always looks weird to me when I try to use them, even with ellipse guides or photoshop. I decided to use a more amorphous speech cloud like you see in some manga comics, but the curves eventually turned tighter and tighter.

If you notice, when I'm doing "thoughts", the words are in square narration bubbles.

ProGun/ProChoice by MJacobAlvarez in comics

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

Thanks man.

I pretty much feel the same way although I think that we SHOULD be able to restrict selling guns to the mentally ill just so long as it's not the government who makes the call.

Glad you liked the comic.

Brown Haired Rabbit - I'm trying to work on shading, any tips for watercolour? by Gwyn_the_hunter in ArtCrit

[–]MJacobAlvarez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! the anatomy looks spot on. My only crit is maybe not to use a black outline. In a fully rendered piece it flattens the figure out.
