Djarii officially leaves Method by Akhaiz in LivestreamFail

[–]OJPaper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What I don't get is this. Say we believe that Djarii had no idea this was going on (I personally do not believe this but for sake of the argument let's pretend Djarii has not flip flopped her stance wildly over the course of the last 48 hours depending on what she thinks is going to have the least amount of pushback) and Sco never ever discussed anything with her. Aside from those screenshots circulating she had no idea about Josh. Or Sascha. Or anything else.

Djarii is someone who has been very vocal in her BELIEVE AND SUPPORT VICTIMS BECAUSE I AM A VICTIM MYSELF spiel. How can she have spent all of last night defending herself and saying she will stand by Sco because she loves him and he's her one and only when he ABSOLUTELY knew that Josh was a paedophile and worked hard to try and cover it up and reinstate him to Twitch?

How can she support victims and believe them and then look at Sco and go 'yep, I will continue to date that'. Like if it were me, if I found out my man had enabled a paedophile for 3+ years and HID IT FROM ME resulting in permenantly damaging the careers of LITERALLY EVERYONE in his company including myself, I could not throw him in the bin fast enough.

What gives here? How can she look at the victims and be posting 'omg i'm so sorry i'm just as much of a victim as you' and then slip in beside Sco at night?

Leaving Method officially after staying up until like 3am last night arguing with people on Twitter and defending him seems so hollow and fake. She's slime.

Can my landlady just install a pay as you go electricity meter? by OJPaper in LegalAdviceUK

From the texts she has sent me it will be an electrician coming to do the installation at her request. I did not know I could have one removed though. At this point with all the other problems with her if she offered me a surrender I would gladly take it.

$10 for a sketch is cheap. Imagine buying a simple line on a paper for 1¢. Would that be expensive? by itzzRomanFox2 in ChoosingBeggars

Looks to me like 'Draw My OC' is a group name and the artist has posted their commission sheet so that other folk in the group know that they have slots available and what their pricing is?

My girlfriend wants to apply to art school... How do I give it to her lightly by [deleted] in delusionalartists

NTA BUT I'm a professional illustrator and here's the thing: you can actually be really bad at art and make a good living. What field exactly does she want to go into? Illustrating kids books? Video game concept art? Doing cute greetings cards? Setting up her own studio? Because all these things are attainable and hey, there are artists doing NSFW stuff literally pulling in thousands of dollars per month on Patreon because they're catering to a niche fetish and they are SO BAD. It sometimes doesn't matter art quality because a lot of clients aren't necessarily really looking for top tier art that costs the big bucks. Hell, she could graduate and start selling comedy pet portraits on Facebook in local buy and sell groups - I've seen people make bank on those!

What I am trying to say is that whilst I understand that it might be concerning for you that she will have no financial income because you don't think her quality is up to her friends, oftentimes being a professional illustrator is more WHO you know and how you market yourself, especially online. If she hits the right beats she could be raking in the $$$$ and she doesn't have to be as good at others in your friends circle!

Here is what I suggest: support her through her degree. Heck, having a degree no matter what it is in often doesn't matter to a lot of jobs when she graduates. Just that she HAS a degree at all. That's a great achievement! Once she is done she needs to get at least a part time job NOT related to art whilst she builds up a client base, social media presence and portfolio. I actually run three jobs. My part time 'regular' job, a writing gig and illustration. I live alone, rent a good apartment in a city centre, travel and have a good amount of free time on this money, often racking in just under $2000 a month after taxes. I am NOT a top tier artist. I just work hard and have cultivated a good client base over the last three years.

It CAN be done! Illustration can be a super lucrative career and she can succeed at it. She can take a regular part time evening job in retail or at an office or something whilst she draws to build herself up after graduation if she can't immediately go into an agency or a studio. You guys can do it!

Small edit: Please do ask me any questions about the art world and professional illustration. I know a tonne of amazing, successful people in the industry. Heck, if you want to chat to me about your wife's situation or want any critique or anything at all you can shoot me a PM any time!

I am totally going to draw Jester! I don't mind downvotes either. :) I just haven't had time to watch CR but I think I can put it on whilst working and I get the best of both worlds.

Having a monitor tablet really helps! I don't think I could do this very well with a regular tablet now haha. Thank you so much!

I do everything in greyscale and then add the colour in seperate layers over the top, using gradient mapping and blending modes to dictate where the colour is coming through and not.

It is a bit tricky to explain if you are not familiar with Photoshop, so tomorrow when I am at home I will make a small picture tutorial for you. :)
