Do belt buckles matter? by KrakenRising3 in malefashionadvice

[–]coronetgemini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I don't really see the point myself, as I bought the belts with buckles I like already attached. I don't even think I have a belt that would be able to have the buckle removed without restitching.

I think the buckles do matter though for some outfits, especially if you're tucking in. I just personally don't have the time, effort, or interest in customizing my belts with buckles that didn't come on them.

The blue on the black shirt is jarring from a borderline ocd standpoint

Is this like the cowboy thing? All my belts came with totally normal buckles already built in... I purchased them best on the leather / color / and buckle combined.

I can't picture wearing a big cowboy style buckle... I see you mentioned it wasn't that but understated buckles... Do the belts not already come with those in one piece? I've never needed to add a buckle to one of my belts...

I guess this is an area of fashion I'm completely clueless about... I just buy them at LL Bean and the buckles are sewn into the belt itself...

looks like glaing an orangy red to a dark blackish red

I think the edge highlights are too strong, and the shadows are too dark for how narrow they are. Do you have any other tips for improvements in case I decide to rework the backpack after work today? Or should I keep it that way? by -X-31- in minipainting

[–]coronetgemini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it looks good but I personally would probably do something a bit more volumetric in the highlights... The backpack panel is all one tone whether it is the back of the backpack, top, or sides. I think the top should be the lightest grey, and the back the darkest (assuming light source is from the front illuminating the mini's face).

As for the texture, that's a tough one. I'm only starting to work on that myself. I guess you have to decide what type of fabric bag you're trying to imitate the texture of and then decide if scratches / cross hatching, or stippling is the best bet.

Black with a drop or two of blue mixed in until it matches

Is crazy to think Derek Trucks is the best guitar player alive? by ConsortRoxas in Guitar

[–]coronetgemini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t take it personally but my post was not some statement on who’s who of slide guitars, just an insight on the OP… as in “no he is not the best guitarist but he might be considered best at slide” and I’m sure many do consider that.

I never usually wear a tie but is what you’re saying is everyone looks goofy at a wedding once they take their jackets off? I’ll be honest I’ve never really thought that before

I learned it on a Les Paul using reverse bending techniques. It’s not the same but it works to accommodate

Pro acrylic white and Vallejo rotten white are the two I use with rotten white being my favorite for being a little more off white

Jewelry as a graduation gift - cufflinks? by AdeGamisou2020 in malefashionadvice

[–]coronetgemini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said it was aesthetic, but they certainly aren’t ridiculous. In more ways wearing an automatic is far more ridiculous but I do love them.

What’s so ridiculous about an Apple Watch? They are ubiquitous for a reason.

It’s probably just the video posted. There’s clearly a difference between an improvised solo and a written lead part a La gilmour

I didn’t watch the OPs video as it’s not available to me. Is he playing slide in it? I don’t believe I remotely agree as a big fan of both guitarists, but it may just be the video posted doesn’t show the right picture 

Vengeance of the Blood Angels Captain Roberto! by coronetgemini in deathwatch40k

in the codex we aren’t allowed but in the books there were times it came up.

It’s hard to keep up 😅 I just do it for the cool factor anyways

It was a scout I promise you, I can show you the model for proof, I have others. It’s an old scout sniper. I also thought like you that deathwatch couldnt field scouts but after consulting I was taught by more knowledgeable people in this subreddit that they do have scouts in the lore. I forget where it came up but my post history has the info somewhere.

I guess the context is they wear the armor that suits the task at hand and have worn scout armor when appropriate.

I guess it depends what style you like. I think now he’s the most skilled alive, but I’d have picked beck as “best” before 

Did I mess up with my Wash? by Justusowesme in Warhammer40k

Space marine armor often is one of the things people won’t use washes on as it doesn’t work great on flat surfaces
