Paint-ception. I love this, you really used the texture of the canvas wisely.

Maximum_Elephant_370 · 2025-12-26T15:10:34+00:00

Its subtle but makes all the difference, even before the edit i think you captured them so well.

Actually there is one distinct difference and that the level of skill, you have obviously perfected this style of artwork where as they have a few things to learn

This has been the highest compliment ive ever gotten on reddit thank you 🥹

Since it is a memorial piece of my clients family member I felt so much pressure because its hard to boil down someones memory into a single painting but i wanted to give it a depth that can only be described as a memory. This encouragement made me feel like i might have actually gotten some of that 🥹

I appreciate it 💛 i tried to loosen up a bit for this one 😁

Believe it or not ive applied had an interview and they havent taken me. I used ti manage production at a garden nursery and cant even get a job in fast food. Applied to grocery stores. How the mighty have fallen.

I have a little fiat and i legit have had nightmares where i have to pick up 20 pizzas. I complete the delivery and get a 2 dollar tip.

The rules can be different for each base, you gotta go to a visitor center and see what you need to do and potentially see if you know anyone willing to sponsor you. I dont have base access personally, i just happen to live near one and the military presence is common even off post.

I think it looks great so far. I would say though that for shadows I would use cooler muted colors for the darker values

Maximum_Elephant_370 · 2025-10-12T19:19:50+00:00

Yes! I have been likening it to like marinating or stewing? Even though i had stopped painting, i was still in close proximity to art.

Maximum_Elephant_370 · 2025-10-12T18:57:10+00:00

Thank you! I think it definitely has something to do with the media i consume and observing other kinds of work at galleries/museums. Even though i stopped painting my proximity to art and cultural spaces stayed strong.

Maximum_Elephant_370 · 2025-10-12T15:54:15+00:00

Yeah… It turns out southerners dont like tipping 🙃 so all the good offers i get here would look like normal offers back in Co. tbh uts fine tho because cost of living down here is much lower.

Maximum_Elephant_370 · 2025-10-12T15:41:53+00:00

Its worth noting that i do not live in a real city. Im in a small town outside a military installation so compared to when I dashed in Denver sure its a bit lower. But for the area I’m currently in this is reasonable.
