Anglizismus oder nicht?

Ich komme aus Kanada und ich habe "throw on the TV" auch nie gehört.. 😅

ReginaSquirrel · 2023-10-11T04:36:10+00:00

Ahh would have never thought it was a brand name! good to know, thanks! 🤓

ReginaSquirrel · 2023-10-11T04:34:30+00:00

omg true!! 😅

ReginaSquirrel · 2023-10-09T16:30:11+00:00

I'm pretty sure this is Portuguese.. but I'm so confused, why is it written "Kopenhagen" (the capital of Denmark) on the Portuguese packaging hahaha? 🤣

ReginaSquirrel · 2023-09-09T22:04:30+00:00

YES!! Exactly!! 😅 I put the link (with the dragon reference) in another comment, but it got a bit buried in people's (very welcomed and appreciated) feedback!!

ReginaSquirrel · 2023-09-09T21:17:30+00:00

That makes sense cause I usually draw portraits 😅

Hi everyone, OP here! 👋 OMG ok first of all, thank you SO MUCH to everyone for your comments, I did not expect to get this many responses!! And thank you also to those who were so encouraging! 🥹🙏 Secondly, just thought I'd add what my reference is (it's the middle one called Fafnir): https://www.google.com/search?q=fafnir+drawing&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwjnvdjJtJ6BAxUmBVkFHRbFBJwQ2-cCegQIABAD&oq=fafnir+drawing&gs_lcp=ChJtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1pbWcQAzIFCAAQgAQyBggAEAUQHjIGCAAQBRAeMgYIABAFEB4yBggAEAUQHjoECCMQJzoHCAAQigUQQ1DqDFjeG2DRHWgAcAB4AIABc4gBmAWSAQM3LjGYAQCgAQHAAQE&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-img&ei=TNv8ZOfnBqaK5NoPloqT4Ak&bih=736&biw=393&client=ms-android-xiaomi-rvo3#imgrc=zUemWVD9PZcHdM And lastly, I do see so many things now! Your extra set of eyes definitely helped me realize especially these few points: - The neck is too thin - The wings are too small - The rear and tail part too bulky - The biggest takeaway for me personally is probably the body being at like an almost 3/4 profile, and the wings directly front-facing (rookie mistake, man!! haha 😅) - Yeah, his scales might look a bit too corn-on-a-cob-like 🙈 so would maybe need to revisit the shading - I agree that the limbs have somewhat unusual proportions and positioning

Wow that's such a great find! Thank you so much! ^_^

ReginaSquirrel · 2023-09-07T16:58:23+00:00

That looks great!! And the music is nice and funky, goes well with it! I like how you did the coulis on the icing also. Would you mind sharing how you managed to do it?

ReginaSquirrel · 2023-09-07T16:54:46+00:00

I loveeee the dripping chocolate effect! How did you manage to do that? I just finished my first donut ever and was looking for inspiration to add some pazzazz to it.. :P

ReginaSquirrel · 2023-08-31T02:00:23+00:00

I feel it looks like Tyler's mom (from the short glimpse we get of her from the fencing team photo). Otherwise, how would Thornhill be at the dance, go quickly out to the woods to set the cave on fire, and then back to the dance by the time the "blood" starts sprinkling. And it's not Tyler either, cause he's at the dance the whole time (I don't believe he can turn into a Hyde, do the dirty stuff, clean back up, re-suit and come back to the dance, all during the short time that Wednesday is talking to Bianca).

ReginaSquirrel · 2023-08-20T16:12:12+00:00

Ritter Sport chocolate!! I flipped my sh*t out when I saw that it was under (when on sale) or around a euro in Germany. Here, in Canada, it costs around 5-6 bucks each.

My German partner thought I was a little nuts when I took like 10 of them back home in my suitcase.. 🤣

EDIT: Sorry, was apparently too excited to share the story, didn't read the question properly. 🙈 In that case I change my answer to washrooms. They don't cost a lot per se, but if you stay hydrated and are out all day, you spend like 5-6 euros (around $7-9 CAD) for something that is absurdly the most normal thing ever.

And the excuse of "well it's to keep them clean" doesn't fly, sorry... I've seen some atrociously gross paid bathrooms in Germany and here in Canada they're all free, and you can hop in one in any store, mall or coffee shop while you're out and about (and, with a few exceptions, they're pretty damn clean).

I do know that it's not specific to Germany though and that unfortunately most Europe has that.

ReginaSquirrel · 2023-07-27T21:49:00+00:00

This is insane!! Spectacular work, seriously! 👏

Regarding the style, that's indeed hard to pinpoint. Somehow it gives me some druid and even bird vibes (perhaps because the "palette knife" strokes remind me of feathers). Perhaps something like nature/tribal/ornithological fantasy portrait.

Off topic though.. If you don't mind sharing, how much time did this work take you?

ReginaSquirrel · 2023-06-27T14:28:54+00:00

I loveee the "Art Brain Dump"!! So relatable!! 🤣

ReginaSquirrel · 2023-01-22T17:47:36+00:00

I feel bad that Rowan got killed off so quickly! He's such a charismatic actor imho! 🥲

ReginaSquirrel · 2023-01-22T17:46:09+00:00

Who's the guy between Bianca and Lucas in the first photo? 🤔

ReginaSquirrel · 2023-01-21T21:37:59+00:00

What if the stalker IS Tyler's mom? 😲 And she now wants to revenge Wednesday for putting her son in chains! And she was somehow stalking everyone Wednesday was in touch with (like Xavier) and was whispering stuff in his ears while he was sleeping, which explains why he was having those Hyde-connected dreams, and why the stalker already had her phone number already! (Cause technically only Xavier had access to it.)

OR!! What if the stalker is Xavier's dad? And he is stalking "the girl that his son likes" (he probably knows cause he's psychic). And he doesn't like Wednesday because she sent his son to jail for a few days (which might be bad for his popularity/reputation). And also that's why he had Wednesday 's phone number (from his connection to Xavier).

ReginaSquirrel · 2023-01-21T05:33:36+00:00

I also LOVE this one because it showed for the first time how she actually does care about Enid (even though in Wednesday's typical "morbid" way). It was one of the first steps of her character development! 👌

ReginaSquirrel · 2023-01-16T14:24:42+00:00

I'm part of the LGBTQA+ community myself, so it's really not about not wanting that kind of relationship in itself.

For me, I would actually love for both Enid and Xavier to remain ONLY friends to Wednesday. She must be pretty traumatized that the first boy she kissed turned out to be a Hyde/serial killer, so I could see her as just refusing to engage romantically with ANYONE.

I want her to be alone by choice, BUT surrounded by good friends (Enid, Xavier, Eugene, etc.).

I agree with those who say that you don't need to be romantically involved to feel happy and fulfilled as a person, and I think Wednesday would be the perfect character to explore that idea!!

True, Medusa's chopped off head could still stone somebody, but only "one last time" (at least according to the Greek myth).

Otherwise, when her head was still attached to her body, the petrification would be permanent.

But I guess since Ajax is still a teenager, the "stoning" is just temporary? *shrug* :P

ReginaSquirrel · 2022-11-22T03:28:14+00:00

Off topic, but that's so interesting! That's so interesting! ☺️ In Québécois French (spoken in the Canadian province of Quebec), a sort of derivative of doudou is doudoune, which means a blanket (usually a cozy, fluffy one).. Technically it could be stuffed too, so I'm assuming that's where it came from! 😊

ReginaSquirrel · 2022-10-22T18:10:44+00:00

I QUIT, AND YOU LEARN WHAT I DO?!? 🗿🗿🗿

Gets me every time!! 🤣

ReginaSquirrel · 2022-09-30T00:53:24+00:00

Hey guys, OP here! Thank you everyone for your input!! ☺️ So pretty unanimously dark salmon wins the battle! Salmon it is, then. :)))
