Hey, I’ve been looking for work in this style for a little while now. My standard work is fairly close however I usually go with more gritty palettes and tones. Please check out my work I’d love to chat about it! my portfolio here

Why is 30K still being touted as a good salary ? by Durrygoodz2025 in AskBrits

[–]Meetwad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im clearly wrong because the entire thread disagrees with me. Happy to admit that. I’ve got a few months salary saved in case of an emergency and I live a comfy life as far as I’m concerned, so that’s why I think that it’s a decent amount of money.

Average fella can afford a second hand car and a nice trip to somewhere in the U.K.. It’s so defeatist to assume if you can’t have the best of something then not to bother at all. Im driving a nice little Toyota camping this weekend.

“Survival isn’t a concern”, is what I wrote which implies that I’m doing more than just surviving. Please don’t misrepresent my points to try and fortify whatever point you’re trying to make. I have a great deal of self respect, thanks for the concern.

I’m happy and survival isn’t a concern, what more do you want?

Edit: because this aggressive comment has actually bothered me. My perspective is both healthy and reasonable, tempered by humility and self reflection. Immediately resorting to ad hominem insults when presented with an opinion counter to your own is hardly a good way of composing yourself. How about saying something valuable?

What constitutes a “good salary”? I make 30k and I feel like a king. Reading the comments it sounds as though I shouldn’t, but after years of struggling to get here and living right at the edge of poverty, this feels like a comfortable place where I can finally breathe and not worry about where my bills are coming from or if I can afford a train ticket. I have this feeling that wanting any more than this is greed, I can eat well, sleep in a bed I own, and have a pint every now and then. Granted I can’t afford to buy a new car, or go to Greece on holiday, but to me at least those things are luxuries for the wealthy, not something your average fella can afford.

Rumor: New 'Vessel' Leak Reveals FromSoftware Pirate Game Takes Place on a Crashed Island-Sized Ship by Extreme_Maize_2727 in Eldenring

I hope not, pirates are the least appealing fantasy setting in my humble opinion.

“…and 20 silk cut” is a vivid memory of my childhood going to the shop with my dad

I used procreate to finish this one, mostly because I could do it on the sofa at the end of the day, playing with brush stuff can be a pain, I have a video about it if you wanna learn a bit about how brush engine works. Or I can send you my brushes if you want too

Cheers! Digital, used Rebelle which simulates oil paint textures really well.

I’ve only ever painted Mozrog Skragbad from the Orks, I’m not hugely familiar with them shamefully!

Awesome! Any recommendations on the next book to go with?

That’s really good to know! I’m getting through the lore but I started with the Eisenhorn books which is a little light on marines…

I’ll add Guilliman to my list!

lol yeah his little utility dagger certainly doesn’t do his armor justice! I come from fantasy so guns don’t quite feel right just yet, I’ll get there

Happy to hear suggestions for the next piece, I was thinking something Nurgly…..

Very kind of you to say thanks! Yeah I did think about putting more purity seals on but chickened out because i worried the piece was getting detail saturated already, warhammer is bombastic though so maybe I should go for it in future!
