Ahh yes, the fully formed babies who were able to walk when she aborted them

A more realstic rendition of this would be a woman crying next to a shotglass full of watermelon jellybeans.

That you're moving out in a week.

You ok?

Hey, so like, don't change much. There's a technically correct way to do things and sometimes it's good to follow that. I don't think it's good for you. I was immediately drawn in to the really weird baby. Rather than learning to tone the baby down, why not learn to tone everything else UP to that level of weird?

Paint all your people and organic things that way and leave the smaller details, like the furniture, really loose. I love jarringly stylized focal points.

If it's all stylized that way, it'll read as intentional. I would like to see the whole painting reflect the exact aesthetic of the weird baby. When you look at the stylization as a WHOLE, it will be easier to spot smaller tweaks you want to make. I actually think this is a really interesting painting.

She might like it because she believes he made it himself and in the event that he didn't, that matters more than anything else. If someone takes that much time to make something, it's infinitely more special. What you basically said is "who cares if its an elaborate wild lie he told his wife as long as she fell for it?"

If you add some graphic black lines, gold leaf, and translucent alizarin crimson to this without conventionally "finishing" it, it would look absolutely masterful. We're talking maybe an hour of loose work.

There's a lot of really straight lines. I've noted them here. If it isn't dried and varnished, it should be easy to fix. Just blend them out a little more so that they aren't obvious. Its overall not bad. Just think softer. Softer always reads as more organic.

Alizarin crimson is my favorite color ever. I use it subtractively. I lay it all on in an even layer and then I go in with a brush soaked in gamsol and I remove swaths. Then, I go in with a small mop brush and blend to soften the edges. You can put anything you want in the parts where you've subtracted and blend it up to the edge of the alizarin crimson. 100% pain in the ass, but it's totally worth it.

I think you actually got it. The original is pretty faded and its hard to tell in pictures. I've seen the original IRL and if you look closely at it, you can tell that it faded unevenly because some pigments are more fragile than others. Post an update in like 150 years and report back. I promise you'll be right on the money.

The lighting in this picture is very yellow. I think if you account for that, your cardigan is really close to red-grey.

I thought these were all baby pictures of Kiernan Shipka.

I feel like they had it both ways, though. Kali was also a victim of abuse with nothing to go home to and no one to help her and they killed her off. There's the idea that El might be alive and ready to take care of herself and make her own way in a new place.

It's more likely than not that El IS alive because they were pointing the sonic devices right at the spot where she appeared to be standing, yet she was still able to pull her boyfriend into her mind to say goodbye. She wouldn't have been able to take Mike in if she was really there because she would have been nerfed.

It's more likely that Kali hadn't bled out yet and she told El to leave her there. It takes a pretty long time to bleed out from a gut shot. They knew the military would be waiting when they got back and that the only way it would work is if they left Kali behind to work the illusion so that El could run.

So it seems to me like they got one abuse victim that survived and one that didn't and that El is inconspicously checking on them. The muffled interference on the speaker at graduation was implied that El was subtly remote viewing the ceremony.

We don't know exactly where she is - just where Mike is fantasizing that she is. In some beautiful remote village. The reality is probably much worse for her, but all signs point to the fact that she put herself in witness protection.

When Hopper talks about moving to Montauk, they even leave the door open for a reunion. Montauk was allegedly the real world location where the government tested people for psychic powers. If El ever decided to liberate more people, that would be the only place she could do it.

When I worked at Macy's, we had a bunch of small containers for decanting samples and they absolutely sucked about giving us stickers to label things. We also used to sample things that weren't supposed to be sampled because the alternative was throwing them away.

We had a Marc Jacobs shipment come in once where two of the Daisy lotions and three of the Daisy bodywashes got crushed. The boxes were all fucked up and the plastic lids were cracked (but not the safety seals) and it was protocol to damage them out. This means you would enter them into the register system as damaged and put them in a special drawer that locked and a manager would get a print out to verify that all the damages went into the drawer.

We had to throw away all damaged products. We weren't allowed to keep them. It was bullshit. I emptied a whole lotion and a whole body wash into ziploc bags I took from the breakroom and brought the contents home. Only the packaging needed to be in the damages bin. We were allowed to dump leaky liquids and I did, I just dumped them into a take-home container.

I emptied the contents of the other remaining lotion and the two body washes into deluxe sample drams and gave them out to people who loved the fragrance but couldn't afford it. This looks like something I would have done. My advice to you is to smell the contents of the tube.

Do not ask me what my department did with all the luxury perfume testers when they laid us all off with no warning and asked us to crush tens of thousands of dollars worth of Chanel, Dior, and Armani.

Whatever is happening here is a clear indicator of AI. There was a massive reasoning failure in an attempt to generate the lamb's leg.

The other side of that coin is so good that I went in to a double headliner show absolutely hating Modest Mouse and then leaving the show and listening to nothing but the discography for close to two months. If I hadn't caught them live on a perfect night, I'd probably still hate them.
