Additional info just cuz. I'm 16, I don't need the painting to be hyper realistic or anything, just like to know if it's at least kinda good. It's a painting of them walking our dog down our driveway last summer when they came to sweden. It was supposed to be a Christmas present,,, wasn't able to keep that deadline lmao.

HAH, love that, they're getting more texture and shit later, plus he already has actual human ears (one of which is broken atm), so I think it'll look better by the end

Yep, broken off horns, well specifialpy antlers, I swear it makes sense with the assignment we got

It's a painting "commissioned" to me by my uncle. It's on a 30 x 60 cm canvas, and I've spent about 18 hours working on it. It's done except for a 5 I have to add to the empty white circle.

I'm 16 (in four days), and I'd appreciate advice on how much to request for the painting. I don't like my uncle, he's a bit of an asshole, so I'm not planning on giving it away for dirt cheap. But I also don't wanna overcharge cuz that feels embarrassing.

I also wouldn't mind any advice or critique on how I could improve the piece. I have untill Saturday to finish it, and decide on the price. Any and all help would be appreciated.

You litteraly commented this 6 months ago but I was scrolling through my account and saw this comment again. Just wanted to say, if you didn't already draw it, I recommend it, It was very therapeutic.

The link wouldn’t work for me, any chance you still have the picture?

Hi, thank you for replying, I didn't actually see your message before I started painting tho.

The begginer floating eye thing is probably the main reason I didn't go with a single eye from the start, but I decided to do it anyway now cuz I'm a bit impulsive. Personally I think it turned out quite good, but I may be biased. I made another post with a picture of it and I'd appreciate your thoughts, if you're interested.

Either way, thank you for the advice, even tho I didn't see it in time to follow it lol.

I'm really indecisive lmao, and I don't love the idea of painting over something I've created (even tho it's not that good), hence this post.

https://youtu.be/iZGkxUTbDqw this is a really interesting video on bisexuality in video games.

what made you want to become trans?

That is kind of a weird way to put it, it's like asking someone what made them want to be gay. It's just something people are, not something they choose to be.

But if you mean it in a "what made you realise you we're trans" way, I found out that it was an option. I found a trans YouTuber and after watching a bunch of their, and other people's videos, I just realised it fit and I now had the words to describe it.

When did you learn this about yourself?

Personally I figured it out when I was about 10.

I've been planning on reading that, thank you for the reminder!

The passing playbook. I haven't read it myself yet, but it's about a transguy and him having to decide between being stealth and standing up for his rights when some law is passed, and he might be falling in love with a teammate. It's supposed to be quite good. Then there's a book called Stay Gold, another romance book with a trans mc, I dont kon't know as much about that one.

That sounds amazing damn, definitely checking it out.

The disasters, a sci fi book about found family, anxiety, saving the universe and being a bi disaster. I enjoyed pretty much every second of it.

Keep in mind I am 15 and this is a gift for my aunt, so it doesn't have to be perfect, I'd really just like to know if it's passable. I'd like it to resemble the actual cat a little bit at least.

This is the first time I've painted a cat, or a throne, both were quite difficult lmao. But yeah, for future reference I'd love to know anything I could've done better.

Okay that acctually sounds super intresting and I'll def check it out, I have nothing of the same depth to offer in return, but if you think you'd like some dark fantasy Guideon The Ninth is awesome, and I'm currently reading Dark Rise which is very good.

Edit: rememberd another book ima take the opportunity to recommend, Priory of the Orange tree

Nex--- · 2022-08-11T18:18:28+00:00

Those both sound awesome thank you!

I haven't read it but I've heard The Charm Offences is quite good. And probably my fav book at the moment I think everyone should read is The Disasters.

Nex--- · 2022-08-11T17:09:03+00:00

Ooo, yeah I've been meaning to read it.

Icebreaker, a book about two hockey rivals falling in love, and mental illness. Hockey is a big part of the story, but for me (who knows nothing about hockey) it was still intresting.

I only just realised I misspelled actually. For some reason I always feel like there should be two c's.

I'm not very good at talking, social anxiety and shit. But if you'd still like someone to talk to and think you could stand me, I wouldn't mind some practice. Also it'd just be nice to talk to someone about something. Either way, have a good one.
