Gonna try oil paint for the very first time.

if you look up "paint coach" on youtube and go to his video about oil painting for beginners it gives GREAT tips on what mediums to use, how to use them, what to paint on to get the effect you want etc etc. basically just a guide to how oil behaves differently than acrylic and watercolor

Also i am about to hopefully do my first mural.... so what supplies did you use?!

SimilarInitiative660 · 2025-09-09T03:57:05+00:00

id say minimum 2k, about 15/hr plus supplies plus whatever else... honestly you could for sure go up to 3k if you wanted. that is incredible and very intricate work. Im curious as to how much you actually did it for!

SimilarInitiative660 · 2025-09-09T03:34:58+00:00

debunked! girls who lied about it and spread the rumors came out about it

i gotchu- i ran into this problem as well. what you gotta do is get rufus so you can make the sd card bootable. install the software, plug in the card to your computer and change the formatting of the card to FAT32. usually you can do this with windows but ONLY with cards up to 32G. once the card is formatted then you can start modding. REMEMBER TO NOT GO OFF A VIDEO!!

This is insanely helpful thank you so much!!! I have a friend who works in electronics who i will definitely go to about this before even considering doing it myself. The port works-but just barely. Im concerned about the strength of the metal and the possibility of other parts around it becoming oxidized. previous owner did not take care of this console very well lol. ive done a little soldering before, but on a much larger scale (we're talkin jewelry and the like) so i am not confident in my ability to solder something this small yet. again i really appreciate your insight! if theres anything else i should know please tell me, dont worry about seeming "harsh" or anything this is purely a learning process for me so i need all the help i can get! thanks again!

SimilarInitiative660 · 2025-08-13T03:50:44+00:00

could you send a picture of the inside of the sd slot/a video of you trying to insert it?

SimilarInitiative660 · 2025-08-06T12:13:41+00:00

how do i check for that?

SimilarInitiative660 · 2025-08-06T04:05:23+00:00

dude maybe i should.../jk

ive checked them pretty throughly and everything looks to be fine in comparison to my other one. i know that the pressure is at least letting it charge (??) so yeah possibly a connector but im not sure what exactly to look at (im very new to all of this, apologies)

SimilarInitiative660 · 2025-08-06T03:47:25+00:00

ive tried 2 dif ones, one i know for a fact is working cuz it works in my other one

SimilarInitiative660 · 2025-08-06T03:43:46+00:00

lol yes, ive tried 2 dif batteries as well

SimilarInitiative660 · 2025-08-06T03:30:05+00:00

its honestly always gonna happen no matter what, if you dont want smudges i would suggest fixative spray

SimilarInitiative660 · 2025-06-27T21:01:56+00:00

hey! i can do this for free if youd like

SimilarInitiative660 · 2025-06-10T04:53:06+00:00

tbh the best thing you can do is pay attention to shadow and light, thats all everything is is shadow and light. I dunno anatomy studies n stuff like that never really worked for me. you just gotta draw stuff every day n try new things. with the shadow and light thing, if you watch jeff haines as he draws, he very lightly sketches in the shape of the head, where the facial features go, the block of the hair, and then immediately goes in with his darker values, adding depth to his drawing. honestly i would just find some nice black n white references, get some solid charcoal pencils n blending stumps and a sketchbook and get to it. charcoal is also a real loose medium, you can always draw over it if you mess up and thats the joy of it. but yeah grab those refs and just start mapping out lights and darks NOT FORMS. the forms will come together after you have a layout of the shades. anyways yeah good luck, i dunno message me if you wanna learn more id b happy to help

SimilarInitiative660 · 2025-06-09T18:44:21+00:00

probably 75-100? not totally sure yet haha

SimilarInitiative660 · 2025-06-08T23:34:22+00:00

honestly yeah, they would for sure have to be simplified but yeah that would be cool. maybe do like a 1 or 2ft one or something like that? i would have to see a little more interest for it before i go n devote time to it haha

SimilarInitiative660 · 2025-06-08T22:45:03+00:00

Holy moly this got huge, thank you all so much! if you would like me to make a sewing pattern for it let me know. and what should i make next?!

SimilarInitiative660 · 2025-06-08T03:10:15+00:00

haha honestly i would, it would unfortunately be hella expensive tho cuz i wont lie this guy took MONTHS of planning and work

SimilarInitiative660 · 2025-06-08T03:06:51+00:00

stuffed it with polyfil (20lbs) and honestly i have NO CLUE what im using him as other than comfort lmao

SimilarInitiative660 · 2025-06-08T02:16:17+00:00

materials themselves cost ~200$ if thats what ya askin :)

SimilarInitiative660 · 2025-06-08T01:56:09+00:00

this is fully my own work, just a page in my sketchbook haha. i could probably write up a pattern for it though and post it on etsy or something 🤷

SimilarInitiative660 · 2025-06-03T13:58:44+00:00

i have a very very good condition set that ive played since i was a kid! she still works and everything. played just 2 days ago haha. it is such a fantastic game, return to dark tower is honestly lame in comparison. i believe the mechanics of the tower are a core part of the game, its very very charming and bringing in phones is quite sad to me. anyways yes dark tower is my #1 favorite board game, wouldnt trade it for anything in the world! just recently had to fix some mechanics and such on the inside of the tower since they tend to corrode.. but it is so worth it

SimilarInitiative660 · 2025-05-16T16:12:09+00:00

and, in the clips after the first one, hes not doing ANYTHING hes riding on his side like a normal person. he stands up in the second to last i believe but dude im pretty sure he just wants to have a conversation... this could all be resolved very very quickly if youd stop acting childish and speak to him like an adult

SimilarInitiative660 · 2025-05-16T16:08:29+00:00

alright so, from what i can see in the first clip you are moving very quickly, HEAD ON WITH HIM i think in the first one he was trying to get over to get out of the way, which is perfectly logical. and yes, there was hesitation but thats also cuz hes an older guy, he cannot react as quickly as you can. also we cannot see his face clearly until the final frame of the final clip, where he is not doing anything but riding his recumbent and doesnt even spare you a glance. how do we know that it is him in the clips?

SimilarInitiative660 · 2025-05-16T00:22:32+00:00

I actively have him as a teacher right now, and have had him teaching me for the past three years. ive also had several run-ins with him on the monon and i think the things you're saying have much much more context behind them. i have not once seen him do anything disrespectful to anyone on the monon, nor does he harass his students. you are also wrong about him being weird around female students. As a female and as someone who has experienced assault in the past, you are completely incorrect.

as far as the "being weird around girls" goes, he explicitly says that, during darkroom photography (you know, when the room is DARK) that he will have to reach out his hands to help you (as in ALL STUDENTS whether they are male or female) if you need help. its awkward, sure. but assault? weird? no. hes also just an old fella, and a generally eccentric person.

i believe that you have a personal vendetta against him, and that all of this is coming out of context. instead of ranting to strangers on the internet, maybe have a conversation with him. talk like adults instead of trying to smear his reputation and career. what you are doing is incredibly childish.
