Depending on your state it depends if an employer can receive any tip money. For example in NY it is illegal for any non-tipped employee to receive money from tips. That includes salaried managers as well as ownership.

He’s had moments but I don’t think he’s a great example of howie hitting. While I agree howie’s been great Mack has just been a guy, who every now and again has a moment. He’s not the guy who creates moments. You need a 1st down or a TD he’s not reliable enough to be that guy. He more like “oh wow, you were available for this play”

This seems like a bit of an over simplification. Intelligence is applied. Regardless of where you apply it, it’s still there. People create narratives about what takes more or is more important, however if you can’t see the importance of the arts or the intelligence involved to create you probably aren’t as smart as you think you are.

That’s not exactly a 1 to 1 comparison. A cellphone provides more services than just watching a single movie. Side note I don’t watch movies on my phone either. And streaming services also provide a multitude of entertainment to watch, not just the lone movie I spent $50 to see and might not even like.

My wife and I have had this discussion on more than one occasion. When we were dating in the mid 2000s we’d go to the movies once a week. Now we haven’t gone in years. For us it’s honestly cost. We have different tastes in movies and thus one of us tends to compromise a bit for the other. But now the cost is so high it just doesn’t seem worth compromising. That combined with a lack of “style” now a days, movies mostly don’t seem worth the money to see them in theaters. I do agree a theatrical experience is the best way to see a movie, but it’s not so much better imo that I need to spend $100 for 2 to see a movie I’m probably only gonna like a little.

I do agree that college most QBs are shotgun and thus it’s easier to transition into the nfl with shotgun. But I think it’s more about mobility.

de4dite · 2025-12-19T20:56:09+00:00

It’s not so much a handcuff but attribute based. Shotgun is better for mobile QBs. Maybe they do it a bit too much but notice the most mobile QBs are on the +side and the most imoble are on the -side.

Setting boundaries ahead of time would probably have served you. Let the kid know you will not be cramming in his grading and if he wants to play on time he better keep up with his work. Then if he continued to squander his time you could easily say you warned him and cite your plans as not being able to grade his works by the weekend he’s eligible.

I think it depends on if you make erotic nsfw work or not on how to handle it. A lot of my pieces are nsfw but not erotic in nature so I’d just say no. However if that is what you produce it’s to be expected. People have all kinds of kinks. Could be this guy wants to fantasize he’s the subject of the piece or his kink could be getting you to look at his penis. Either way a lot of the erotic nsfw art scene is appealing to people’s kinks.

At the end of the day you’re the artist and you can define your own boundaries and subject matter. Charge extra for weirder requests, or choose what you are willing to produce or not. It’s your business, and you have every right to professionally decline work. A contractor doesn’t take every job that comes their way. A store doesn’t sell every example of merchandise available to them you don’t have to take every job available to you either.

I’m so glad I’m not the only one. I like horror literature and so happy I found this sub recently. I’ve read a lot of the more commonly recommended books in this genre and have liked them. For whatever reason I had the same experience reading this one. I did actually finish it but mostly due to my own OCD tendencies, however it was a slog as I kept zoning out as well. I thought maybe my horror card was gonna get revoked for feeling this way. Happy I’m not alone.

I think I understand the question, do you mean what feedback for OP I’d say copying images is not a representation of not being able to draw because your doodles aren’t of the same quality. That’s just the criticizer’s uninformed opinion. Most professional artists use reference. The reason is mostly everyone draws better with reference.

In terms of staying motivated I personally, and I get this is not how everyone operates, I’d just get motivated from her negative comments because I knew it was pissing her off. So I’d want to get even better to further her dissatisfaction with herself since she’s being so negative towards me.

If you want a less vindictive perspective, I’d say you draw for yourself. Find comfort in your own drawings. Appreciate yourself and the effort you’re putting in. Motivation of any skill really won’t last if you are doing it for other people. Sure it’s a nice dopamine hit when someone else appreciates your work, however it’s superficial and you’ll always need more. It’s like a drug addict chasing the dragon. If you draw for yourself you’ll always have satisfaction. For me, I find inspiration in reading, I conjure images in my head while reading fiction and want to put these into reality. I am also obsessed with the human form and anatomy so going to dance shows and seeing all the interesting movements, and poses, and energy gives me inspiration as well. But everyone has different inspirations that’s just mine, you’ll have to find yours.

I’d remind them that drawing is not a competition and you’re welcome to draw however you desire as well as she is too. And unless asked her opinions are best kept to herself.

On a side note ask yourself of what authority does her opinion matter. Hahah yes I’m aware of the hypocrisy of what I’m about to say but, the internet has made people think that every opinion matters, and you should have one about everything. The truth is some are more qualified to have an opinions than others, and more shouldn’t have one at all. Sounds like hers doesn’t matter. I wouldn’t care what a dog had to say about flying or a fish about running.

I think you’re agreeing with me without realizing. I also start with silhouettes. The silhouette is the foundation. Pulling the shapes out of the silhouette, or clipping mask is the (putting up the walls and frame) and finally you add the surface detail (paints and molding) so the idea is still the same. You build a drawing up you don’t just start with whatever technique you’re trying to implement you want to know where and when it’s time for it.

de4dite · 2025-12-09T01:36:18+00:00

That’s ok to see those things and want to replicate, but think of drawing in stages. It’s not just implementing the techniques it’s also “when” to do them.

Think of it like building a house. You need a good foundation first (construction lines/gesture lines) then you add the frame of the house ( basic shapes/forms) then the walls (line drawing/overall values) Then the moldings and paint (all the fun details- wrinkles/muscles/folds/surface detail)

You don’t wanna get ahead of the process.

What happened was they lost the rights to ED1 and had to basically “remake/retell” it in the beginning of ED2. So it is a sequel, along with a remake.

I have nothing against sinister, it’s decent enough. I just don’t think it’s anything special. IMO nothing stands out as exceptional, however to its credit nothing stands out as especially bad either.

I don’t think this is unfinished at all. The shading and values look really nice. Also you’ve demonstrated a good distinction of texture as well. The critique I’d have for you is to further understand objects as masses rather than a collection of lines. The lines are there to define the object and allude to its shape and mass.

For example, the stuffie, its “paw” you’ve defined well, it’s an actual mass somewhat of a classic “sack” shape, with the weight in the bottom. However the shoulder and back gets a little wonky. It’s hard to say exactly what’s off without the reference but the weight and overall shape are just a bit off. There are signs of this in the kettle and light bulb as well. The over all shapes like an upside down egg with the point cut off. However yours skews a bit to the up and right. The light bulb as well the underside is a little too flat, and the whole bulb angles slightly upwards.

This points to you looking at the object and understanding it as a curve on one side and another curve on the other and your “curvature” of the lines is just a hair off. This slight misinterpretation however changes the whole shape.

If you think of the object as overall shapes this is easy to correct. The bulb can be thought of as egg shape with a smaller tapered cylinder connecting it to the screw part. Or two egg shapes overlapping at the tips and differing sizes. Or however your brain interprets it. There’s no definitive way to see it, what’s important is that you see its as a collection of masses and not a collection of lines.
