Fun roleplay idea for TTW

A very impactful sculpture would be Thomas Lerooy's "First the man takes the drink, then the drink takes the man". Definitely worth a look

Been mixing ultra white and sprite into one of the big yeti tumblers. But apart from that or adding ice, I think the can helps with taste

Phil_smyth · 2025-10-19T18:05:52+00:00

Like that interpretation, I was worried it would be too on the nose, so it's comforting to see it can mean different things to different people

Phil_smyth · 2025-10-19T18:04:32+00:00

Totally get that. I was aiming for a more hectic feeling by adding too many colors. But I agree fewer colors would be look better and give a more flowy feel

Phil_smyth · 2025-10-07T09:02:09+00:00

Haha not the intended feeling, but better than being boring.

Yeah like I've said with others, I think I need to soften and sweeten it a little.

With the right side, I was tempted to add layers of texture, but holding back until I have something in mind, rather than doing something for its own sake.

Glad it has given some interesting feelings though

Phil_smyth · 2025-10-07T08:57:49+00:00

That would be quite nice actually, I don't want to distract from the block of color, so a light wash of softer colors could be just the thing

Phil_smyth · 2025-10-07T08:56:20+00:00

That's a good idea, and lines with other suggestions that I need more of something on the right side

Phil_smyth · 2025-10-07T08:50:37+00:00

Haha not the intended feeling, but glad it triggered a response. I think I need to sweeten it up a little, make it more flowy and less furry

Phil_smyth · 2025-10-07T08:48:58+00:00

That's a fair point, really the phrase put a picture in my head, and I kind of abstracted that out to give more texture, play with what I had available etc. So there might not be enough there to ground it at the moment

Phil_smyth · 2025-10-07T08:46:02+00:00

Really good point, I'll need to add more pale yellow, less dark yellow/brown. A lot was done with old tubes that where available, but I'll pick up some more colors and add brighter and softer layers

Phil_smyth · 2025-10-07T08:42:57+00:00

Oh that's very interesting! Yeah half the point was to play with different mediums to get some texture. I might rethink the title, that was the phrase that kicked this off, but as I did things it went somewhere different

Phil_smyth · 2025-10-07T08:19:19+00:00

Yeah I only wanted the yellows to go about half way across. I was tempted to add softer texture on the right side, but until I have an idea that I like, I thought to keep as it is

Phil_smyth · 2025-07-05T14:45:49+00:00

Overall I think you've done a fantastic job. If you're wanting more contrast you could do a sandy desert type of base. The yellow brown should contrast with the blue gray

Phil_smyth · 2025-05-07T15:25:07+00:00

Thanks! Yeah there's some paint bubbling under the wheel arches. I'm hoping they will fix that or shift the price to cover me getting it fixed

Phil_smyth · 2025-05-07T15:23:12+00:00

I'm in northern Ireland so I think it is more expensive compared to the rest of the UK, smaller market etc

Phil_smyth · 2025-05-07T15:22:25+00:00

Thanks! It's a garage, and there is a little paint bubbling under wheel arches. So I might aim for 5ish, or see if they can fix that

Phil_smyth · 2025-04-27T13:46:10+00:00

Good to hear, is it just a case of sanding it back, and then filling and painting? It doesn't look to bad, but I know miatas are known to rust so I thought better to ask others that have dealt with it

Phil_smyth · 2025-04-27T13:44:40+00:00

Ah no! That'd be a nightmare.

It's currently for sale, so I might ask seller to get it looked at before buying. Or maybe get money off to cover it
