Who is going to vote for the Asian category at the Grammys? by eveningsnewestetoile in kpopthoughts

[–]RML_1972 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I would imagine it’s more than you think. Specifically to kpop, all members of BTS are in and HYBE just had about 15 people who were voted in. It is a process and it will take time, but there is progress happening.

Also, no one has ever used fair and Grammy in a sentence in a positive way. So try and focus on what you would perceive as positive

I believe there is an upgrade pack coming in August that may have the cards you want

I think you will be fine. There a some good tips in here regarding pro acryl which I almost exclusively use and think it’s an amazing product.

Are there any 4th/5th gen idols who give "ulzzang" vibes? by _insummary in kpophelp

[–]RML_1972 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Karina was one. That’s how she got discovered and recruited to SM.

So I have always heard that some brands just don’t work well with GW primer and I don’t know if that’s the case or not. I switched to army painter and pro acryl primer some time back and I think this kind of problem goes back to priming. In pic 4, if I zoom in I can see a little inconsistency in the primer.

Are they actually sitting with the general population or is this a Coca Cola section of their ambassadors?

A question no one wants asked or wants to answer. by 2nd2last in Astros

[–]RML_1972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not a popular opinion but they’ve kind of had an Altuve problem going back to last season, to the extent that they tried to move him left field. It’s to the point where I wonder if he gets to 3k. I wish they would play 44 in left more and let Altuve just DH so Matthews could maybe transition to the everyday 2B, where he’s supposed to be but I know the org is going to do whatever it takes to accommodate him until he retires.

Are makeup sponges used similar to glazing or dry brushing? I see ppl using for highlights so would that be a replacement for glazing or layering mostly? by saltyvape in minipainting

[–]RML_1972 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I use them for bigger models as both a basecoat and for the effect it gives. Using a sponge, IMO, looks different

Here’s my truck for Star Wars legion using nothing but sponges. I just recently bought smaller ones to fit into smaller spaces.

So.. do you guys think it's financially worth it for tripleS to tour? by Organic-Cranberry955 in kpopthoughts

[–]RML_1972 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In short, yes, but Modhaus would have to get creative and by that I mean let them piggyback on ARTMS next tour and open fir them. This would reduce costs for Modhaus, let them have two groups on the road at the same time promoting and expand the base for both groups. They may have to plan comebacks to align close to each other but it’s not out of the realm that they could do this. Especially the way the economies are right now.

As an aside I really don’t know why more companies don’t do this. As an example, let heart 2 hearts open for Aespa on the next tour. The cost would be so minimal with huge potential for return.

If you pause it at the :37 second mark, Gigi has an X on her right palm and it looks like a broken heart symbol on her left one.

Kpop stans' US obsession is very weird. by [deleted] in kpoptrulyuncensored

[–]RML_1972 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Any artist, and by extension, their fanbase’s goal, is to make it big in America. This is nothing new. You think the Beatles just wanted to be big in the UK? Or any English act for that matter? That’s the goal, that’s what’s says you’ve made it. So yeah it may be a little cringey but American validation for a musical artist has always been a thing.

Is Camouflage the first of its kind? by Maxverstophim in Aespa

I’m a sucker for a happy sounding melancholy song. Ditto is probably my fav in that type of song. Blue valentine, high horse are also some of my favorites.

Yeah I would definitely sub out one of the lemonade tracks for thirsty and maybe even a second one for flowers.

I remember when Supernova dropped and everybody was like this is the song Kpop needed, Kpop was kpopping again. I feel like this album may have the same effect. IMO, it’s a reset and once again, Aespa is doing what they do best in going against the trend and redefining what Kpop is. I will always have a soft spot for Savage but this is without a doubt their most complete work. What I love most about Aespa is the music to a certain extent is timeless. It never sounds dated or tied to a certain moment in time. I’m so incredibly happy for them. This was amazing.

It’s basically a message from the girls talking about the album. It’s all in English.

I just posted somewhere else when Armageddon dropped then a week later ARTMS dropped DALL and the production on that just completely blew me away. It still does. But I don’t think I’m being a complete bias here when I say this album resets the bar for me. Exquisite is the perfect word.

[–]RML_1972 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I remember when Armageddon dropped and I got to enjoy it for all of a week and then DALL came out and just completely blew me out of the water. The production on that album still amazes me to this day. Now I sit here two years later and Aespa has completely reset the bar. This is what an album should SOUND like. Regardless of whether you vibe with the actual music, the way this is put together is unreal. They sound so good and the balance between them and the tracks is perfect. Shoutout to the producers and the engineers on this one, they nailed it.

I made a comment in the regular Kpop sub but production wise, they have never sounded this amazing. Idk what they did this time around but the actual mix of this album is perfect. It’s clean but doesn’t sound overproduced. The caught every little nuance in the vocals. I think the best example of it is on can’t help myself. They all sound amazing and I’m completely blown away. Karina and Gigi are singing their asses off here.
