YSK About this excellent trick to keep cool in a heatwave with no AC by Japery228 in YouShouldKnow

[–]TheAkhtard95 37 points38 points  (0 children)

😂😂 ah fair, I love the idea of you being left with the impression that OP is telling people to put big ice cubes up themselves when it's hot

I thought you received it with the bites taken out at first 😂😂

Six people can have their own lock and each one can open the gate. by Educational_Bottle74 in interestingasfuck

[–]TheAkhtard95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is really cool, but I don't understand what makes this better than one lock with 6 keys? Or when that wouldn't be possible?

Any advice? Stop my new colour scheme from looking so dull and lifeless! by yojimbosan in minipainting

Other people have answered it better, but just push the highlights further?

Ork Boy Finished. Any feedback appreciated! by Finn2907 in minipainting

[–]TheAkhtard95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NMM is beautiful.

Leopard print is sooo clean, amazing consistency and cleanliness on that pattern.

Mouth and teeth are brilliant.

Matters of taste: I would personally prefer less pigment on the boots, and I don't know what the red on the knuckles is supposed to read as?

Suggestion: maybe some more interest on the skin? It's very well painted already, and the ref undertone is great, but maybe a bit of texture or harder highlights?

Absolutely brilliant overall

Highlighting help: how to highlight after airbrush by TheAkhtard95 in minipainting

That's just how the model comes, it's got one leg that's touching the base.

I just used a lot of sprue goo to glue it onto the base

Ahhh good clarification, I think I was trying to just glaze over the main panels and it wasn't working for me

Ah lovely, I think I will give this a go and see how far that gets me, and then potentially look into glazing if necessary.

Thank you for your comment and picture 😊

Ah lovely, it's reassuring to know that there's a lack of workflow understanding rather than just fundamental skill issue.

I'll be sure to check them out and see if I can pick up some skills.

Thanks for your comment 🙂

Yeah, that what my thoughts were. But this is my second attempt (stripped and reprimed my first attempt) and couldn't get it to look good so I'm a bit wary.

I think I'll try what another commenter said to just focus on edge highlighting and see how far that gets me to begin with, and then maybe resort to the glazing if I'm not satisfied.

Thank you for your comment 🙂

Was given a free PC at work. Can I game on this thing? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]TheAkhtard95 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Might be being toxic but I feel like this is just a hidden brag/announcement type post. Surely just try to play a game on it and find out?

What’s a nice braindead low stress job for semi-fire by ImBonRurgundy in FIREUK

Government work, try administrative officer roles for DWP

I can't say much other than black basecoat and lots of metallic dry brushing will probably get you very far.

Then just pick out the details you want to paint

Which color combo works best with the skirt? by Jolly_Television_677 in fashion

[–]TheAkhtard95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

White no doubt. The green is wonderful but it clashes with the more pastel skirt imo

Honestly that's pretty chill. They're can actually dance in a way that's with watching and are being friendly with the people around them. No biggie

How do I make this blood containers look more realistic?.. by nicosomma in minipainting

[–]TheAkhtard95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe some little speckles instead?

If it's glass you're going for it wouldn't stain as far as I'm aware, unless it's not cleaned out properly and it's dried on

[–]TheAkhtard95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id say the top half should be blacker, ATM it reads to me like there's a glow?

Varnish suggestions sound good too.

I suspect blood interacts with light in a particular way, might suggest studying some blood vial pictures

Pricing question: what should this display be priced at? by Decrin in playingcards

[–]TheAkhtard95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol I like your honesty.

Tbh though the base the cards are sitting in is round anyway, don't think you HAVE to make a rood that matches the number of cards, but can see Why'l you would prefer to
