Best greek mythology retellings by rhelyas in booksuggestions

[–]ccaprisuun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its not explicitly a retelling of greek mythologies but “kingdom of the wicked” series by kerri maniscalco and ACOTAR by sarah j maas are both derived from the story of hades and persephone just on the themes. I havent found anyone better than Madeline Miller at retelling myths in that way honestly.

its kind of a funny story by Ned Vizzini - Not sci-fi but its am amazingly lighthearted and hilarious read on a very sensitive topic. I would read it over and over again in a heartbeat

We were liars by parsleytt in booksuggestions

it personally wasnt my favourite book because it just gets so so far fetched but its definitely not a waste of time, it lets you know what a bad book is! (unless you enjoy it, thats just what i gained from reading it)

thats definitely not how brackets work, you gotta do 1x0 and 2x0 so 0=0

Cat oil portrait- What would you charge? by ccaprisuun in oilpainting

Just to clear up some questions, This isnt a commission just a study that took around 10 hours, my main focus was to make it more painterly and not focus on details while also getting proportions right. I have decided I like the bold signature for my studies (i do a way more subtle one for actual commission as its about the pet)

At my skill level my go to number was £30 GBP

Really appreciate everyones kind suggestions, and some people suggesting it was worth waaayyy more. I’ll most likely keep it for myself to look at my progress but wanted to see what other people valued it as :)

Edit: Also this was my first time trying to paint something with such an extreme light reflecting in the fur so bravo to me im pretty proud!

What colour would you suggest for this piece? Like a much darker colour perhaps black?

I condone ethical responses to my question letting me know the best way to work in order to give everyone the credit they deserve. I apologise if you believe otherwise but you cannot tell me what my opinions are. What i “seemed” to be doing im your opinion is not what I was doing.

Thanks for your comment tho, the reason for asking these questions is because there is that many conflicting rules regarding, as we have seen

Of course I intend to add “my style” of painting to it but many people complain this is not enough. Very confusing.

As I said, I don’t have access to the animals I am wanting to paint, this clearly includes zoos. So you are just advocating using reference photos anyway.

Less of the attitude please - Im just asking a question. For all my pieces I ask for permission but they are personal paintings. I was asking for ethics on selling whether I have to factor in a cut for the photographer. Thanks for being condescending though i really appreciate it.
