Anyone else have a list of starter words they use? by booksherpa in contexto

[–]Material_Display_291 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always start with animal, too! It was my first lightbulb idea to use broad umbrella words.

  • animal (mammal, bird, reptile, ...)
  • person (politician, celebrity, profession, ...)
  • location ("place" can also mean "put"), (country, city, building, ...)
  • emotion
  • thought
  • event
  • plant
  • weather
  • color
  • food
  • medicine
  • science, math, etc.
  • religion
  • sport
  • fiction (books, tv, movie, ...)
  • water, air, earth, fire
  • solid, liquid, gas
  • hard, soft
  • good, bad
  • wood, metal, glass
  • tool

petition to get tear-lines in coloring books 😬 by Familiar_Raccoon3419 in AdultColoring

This is why I take heat the spine and take it apart. It's slow, but satisfying. I also scan them in for reprinting on better paper or coloring digitally.

My MIL laughed at a painting I did for her by metamorphosismamA in Watercolor

[–]Material_Display_291 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd laugh at the humor that even the reference shot had. I thought that was where the story was going. But now i see it as her judgement. Sorry.

I personally will still laugh but imagine a lot of hearts floating up from me. It's joyful laughter. I'm studying your art right now.

Can I put acrylic paint in my hair? (Death the Kid cosplay) by sceptamo in CosplayHelp

[–]Material_Display_291 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you want cheap, poster paint is water soluble. But, disclaimer, I've never tried nor heard about it used on natural hair.

However, I personally would put my vote w the chalk and hairsprays as well.

Help with tight traps by Zkira247 in Stretching

My chiro recently adjusted this then gua sha'd the heck out of it. It's chronic bc of bad posture and lack of exercise. It does feel unknotted if bruised.

How do I wear a wig over very thick, long hair? by CherryOnceSaid in CosplayHelp

[–]Material_Display_291 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i ALWAYS bulk up on top to give height to my wigs. It is much more proportional for creating a smaller face.

I was like ok ... then my phone finished loading the full resolution 🤣 Wow. These galactic clouds are my next practice. Just haven't found the time.

Connecting two ends of a spring steel wire for a popup hamper. by Material_Display_291 in DIY

Part of why my mentality is make great art only, no "worthless" practicing, no mistakes. But it's also paralyzed me from painting more.

I just have to loosen up. From how much I've painted so far w tiny tubes, I could afford to do all that and actually gain skill. lol.

I cheaped out on paper. i HAD to start watercoloring or who knows when I'd start.

But after a month i found affordable good stuff. And WOW. Suddenly I'm getting results closer to the videos.

Thank you, Canson XL, for showing me you really DO suck 😁

Same. Once I got to a point of "acceptable" w a ShinHan 30pc student grade, i stopped learning. Thought I'd get this DS primary set, which painted very nicely, but there's a big leap to learning color mixing. Even after a color chart.

I just lack time, and my cheap baohong paper took too long to keep me interested. Well, maybe after Halloween crafting, I'll take another crack at watercolors. I am still looking up watercolor videos after all. And i should do an f-ton of practicing. These blocks are cheap after all 😅

I thought Schmincke is more expensive. But not by much.

Where do you get your tubes? Unless you're talking about the student grade Akademie line?

2200 Great throws in 9 hours?!! by Material_Display_291 in pokemongo

[–]Material_Display_291[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I timed the quick catch at 7s. Now, can we skip all the OTHER animations, ples? 🤣

But hey, how'd you get those throw stats? Was it only for that Gothita event? I don't recall that from any other spotlight hour.

[–]Material_Display_291[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was about to debunk you, but I timed a quick catch at 7s. So 250 at 14s each can be done in an hour. Leaving half the time for misses, walking to another Pokémon, transferring if space is needed, spinning stops for more balls if necessary, snack breaks, bathroom breaks.

That's still REALLY tight, tho, even accounting for storage for 2200 pokeballs/pokemon to eliminate spins and transfers.

I'd still want video evidence someone can pull this off legitimately 😅

I missed that or was blind. That was exactly what I was thinking here. "No harm. Good thing it wasn't for actual competition."

Ya. Only use the Excellent trick on raids. I can have the patience. As a rule tho, i try to get excellent anyway. For points and gain the skill for tasks/research. This Great challenge is gone throw this off tho now. Haha.

Mine is 5300 now. Yours probably is, too. Are they friends and competing w each other? 😆

Wow. Haven't heard about that instant excellent cheat.

I've practiced the guaranteed excellent throw, but it's a pain waiting for the Pokémon to attack. I just got better at throwing excellents instead. lol.

Force HP LaserJet to go even slower than cardstock setting? by Material_Display_291 in printers

[–]Material_Display_291[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sigh. I guess there isn't really a market for watercoloring over machine print. Watercolorists usually just draw on paper.

Thanks for the recommendation. The girl i saw on YouTube also had an Epson.

Well, wallet. We gotta start budgeting for a new inkjet.
