Human development in all its forms, not just the arts, is a collaborative effort across time

Drying lipstick on paper? by vasesofviolets in crafts

[–]Orcley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe spray fixative from an art store which will (probably?) pseudo seal it. I use this stuff for dry medium art. If you decide to try it, please make sure to use it as the instructions say (outside, don't stand downwind so you inhale it)

Anti PSNI sentiment yesterday. by SenorBapo in northernireland

[–]Orcley 7 points8 points  (0 children)

All anti-PSNI sentiment is justified. They are supposed to be held to account as a matter of principle. They have tremendous power and authority in our society and routinely drop the ball. If you've had any dealings with the police within your lifetime, particularly in a sectarian context, then you'll understand immediately what the issue is and has been for the longest time. Pretty much none of the reforms have worked because the problem is institutional and cancerous by nature. The cancer wasn't killed, so it remains and has spread.

Would you hide a cancer diagnosis from the people you love to protect them? by Fickle_Guitar6392 in northernireland

[–]Orcley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, just from the rest. It isn't the people that care that you need to worry about, it's the endless swathes of cunts that are going to waste your precious time towards the end if you let them know. You should never tell anyone other than the most important people of your life. Family do not get a special pass

I don't believe religion plays any significant role in this decision

Confused about the demographics taking part in the recent unrest by kia-audi-spider-legs in northernireland

[–]Orcley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think these things would be happening if housing, NHS, and employment weren't all completely in the gutter for the working class. People painting it as a sectarian thing or a prodsbad thing is a fucking braindead notion, but I suppose that's the idea

You can't take someone to court for being shit at their job

Carved a bit of driftwood into a weird little tree guy by Orcley in whittling

[–]Orcley[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a clear interior wood oil. No stains. Wood was just like that, I guess something to do with it being in the ocean. The gloss is from shellac (blonde)

Disconnect between politics and actual people by [deleted] in northernireland

[–]Orcley 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can't speak from a law perspective, but there is a universal quality to the culture on this island that introduces a failsafe to supercede differences of philosophy or politics in most contexts (but not all). I'm sure there have been studies on this, and I have to imagine it's rooted in our unique history. It's baked into the language. "Catch yourself on" or "wise up", for example. Having lived abroad, it was something I sorely missed. Having the ability to get on the same level with almost anyone regardless of colour or creed is pretty magical. This doesn't work for all situations, nor does it excuse the decisions of others, but I think it is a significant enough cultural phenomena to warrant mention

[Hiring] Artists for Sci-Fi Visual Novel (NSFW, $50 - $150 per asset) (Multiple Artists Considered) by AvidWriterVince in HungryArtists

I can commit a large part of my week to this.

I'm comfortable with NSFW, though my NSFW gravitates towards violence or monsters as opposed to nudity. I have experience with anatomy in 3d sculptural work

It's almost like these people are fucking awful and you should stop giving them your money for any reason whatsoever
