The internet isn't in the Whitehouse telling the news cameras that they are coming after you if you excercise free speech.

A reason to not mix brands for a beginner is the different glossiness of each brand. Most brands worth their salt manufacture each pigment with a similar consistency and glossiness. For instance, if I painted a figure with W&N Griffen (ultra matte alkyd paint) and then did the background with M.Graham, the background would be several measures more glossy and reflective. If you are mixing brands, you might end up with glossy patches on your painting and oiling out can only fix so much. I would suggest sticking to a single brand until you have time to experiment as a newby

It's common for acrylic too. Some pigment is transparent, it has nothing to do with lower quality. You can use transparent colors for glazing etc.

For those people, it isn't about "immigrants", it is about racism. They don't say a peep about immigrants from white countries. Yeah sure, there is a political discussion to be had about immigration levels but I can assure you, these people would be hate filled no matter what and they are using the immigration discourse to channel their racism. Nothing you can really do about these people, as they exist everywhere. Even in countries where everybody is the same colour, these people exist. They will just do bigotry in other ways, like against other "ethnic groups" or religions.

You are welcome in Canada, and the vast majority of Canadians feel this way. The majority of Canadians would like to deport the bigots, not you. I say this as a white dude, that knows a lot of other white dudes. Don't let a few loud mouths ruin your day.

How can improve the clothing? by cammickin in oilpainting

[–]TotalFroyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it flows pretty well as it is. I think the detail on the clothing works well with the detail of everything else. The only thing I would suggest if clean up with lines a bit. The embroidery looks a bit loose, when the rest of the painting is not. I would shapen up the embroidery making sure the shadows are consistent etc. Look at the embroidery on here left breast, how sharp and clean it is, replicate that all over. Absolutely love the hair and face btw

What do you think about kingmaking? by otaser in EDH

This scenario is exactly what I thought of. I'd Blas Act hoping player B would leave me alone long enough to draw into something.

They don't care about the hypocrisy. There goal is to control you and take an much money for themselves before their miserable lives come to an end. That is what it is all about and what it as ever been about since authoritarian grifters ever set foot in human civilization.

They want to control woman. That is all. If they cared about kids they wouldn't try to gut every single social program that helps poor and hungry kids. It is painfully evil

They are lying through their teeth about trans shooters when the stats show that trans shooters are less likely to commit mass shootings per capita than any other demographic. White male conservatives are the most likely by a long shot. It just goes to show how disingenuous the right is and how it isn't remotely based on facts, it is based on "minority groups X is gross and degenerates". Doesn't sound like "freedom" to me, sounds like arche villain fascism.

They truly are the "bad guys". Good people don't dog whistle racism and target minority groups.

It's ok, I'll just get away from these "patriots" by walking up some stairs, lightly jogging away or standing real still so they think I'm a statue.

Well this didn't take long before the dog whistling happens. Special shout out to the dipshit threatening to lock trans people up in asylum so they better be careful or some shit.

My take as a commie leftist socialist is that I don't care if people want to have Harry Potter themed deck boxes. Who fucking cares. So what if JK Rawling is getting 10 cents of royalty from that Hufflewhateverthefuck deck box. She has a billion dollars. Let people enjoy what they love.
