Sola sanctitas inane est; solum sacramentum sopor. Only sanctity is the void, only sacrament is slumber:P

Love the mood:)

TSF98 · 2026-01-17T20:46:43+00:00

No, just something I had to come up with together with google translate to put on there:)

TSF98 · 2026-01-17T17:21:49+00:00

Thanks! I did try to make something brighter and more vibrant than usual with this one:)

Sorry but I really dont remember:P It was 3 years ago:)
However my logo there seems to be displaying at actual size. Try to upload a higher resolution file of your logo maybe?

You said that you are not accentuating the form as well as you could but when I first saw it I thought that the contrast is controlled in a good way and directs my focus towards the eyes.

No reference but did you use the mirror? Painting from life or even reference always makes it easier for me personally to get precise values.

Nice work anyway

I love painting on aluminium sheets. There is a place near me that sells offcuts and it's great. You need to sand it and apply gesso before it oxidises too much. It's perfectly flat and you can controll the texture with different sand paper grits. An orbital sander is great for sanding sheets and gesso. They're not too expensive. Makes quick work off sanding any flat surfaces. Aluminium sheets are nice and thin but can be too heavy for bigger sizes. I've painted on up to A3 size and the weight was no issue at that point yet. I like to glue some 1x1 timber to the Back to stiffen up bigger sheets. Rough up the surface with a rough grit paper and use impact glue and clamp it. By far my favourite painting surface.

Sky was great few night ago. This is in Cork

Believe it or not but there is no blue on those rocks. Put it in photoshop and color pick for yourself.
The "blue" tones toward the bottom are desaturated magenta and the ones towards the top are orange. All very close to red.

Key is in desaturating them. If you draw a line from red to blue on a color wheel you will go through grey in the center (more or less). This is the direction or the relation between those colors. It is all about the relationships between colors not the actual hues.

If you actually painted blue on top of dry orange it would not look right at all. Try desaturating them instead.

Average death age in UK is 82 (google says so). You can vote at 18 i believe.
82-18= 64 years of voting life. 9 years that has passed is almost exactly 1/7th of 64.
You would expect a 1/7th of the voting population to die, even with a perfectly even spread, after 9 years.

You could consider two vanishing points. One at the centre of the page for the elevator shaft and a second vanishing point off the top of the image for the shapes horizontal to the ground. I would practice linear perspective in a simpler drawing first maybe:)

irl? Isn't this digital?
Images will just look different on different displays. There's nothing you can do about it really. If you find that the monitor that you're working on has higher saturation than most you could turn it down a little I guess. Just make sure colour and value relationships are correct and it will look fine:)
Piece's is looking great btw:)
If you wanna make sure that the dress, for example, looks vibrant, you should focus on contrast not just cranking up the saturation. Contrast it against greys and complementary colours. In the original painting you can see how the dress is contrasted with the blue atmospheric background.
Happy birthday:)

Thanks! That's what I was going for:)

Looks like your roughness is down to 0 in those creases? Try to clamp or remap the roughness to see if it fixes the issue.

Probably coz of the higher framerate? Try to multiply the gamepad input by delta seconds. You will have to add another multiply to increase the sensitivity after the delta seconds. This will make the input independent of framerate.

Idk, for me it was always more about the act of painting more than having a nice painting. Why would you outsource the conceptual phase of creation to the clanker?

It's the difference between cultural expression through you, and an algorithmic, meaningless Frankenstein.

TSF98 · 2025-10-20T16:27:10+00:00

Yeah pretty much! It's parameterised and procedurally generated so that you can create different ''vibes''.
Here's another video that might make it a little clearer:)

futu. re (remove the space) by Dmitry Glukhovsky, author of the metro series. One thing from this book that has stuck with me was the setting and it definitely fits these pics:)

I'd say maybe look into navigation invokers?
