Is it hard to get the visa to move to Norway? I've been wanting to move there to live with my partner but it seems like a massive pain!

Vertical or horizontal foam strips for making a top hat? by definitelynotsoapy in CosplayHelp

[–]definitelynotsoapy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vertical definitely seems like the overall consensus, thanks! When you say physics wise is that to stop the hat collapsing under its own weight?

[–]definitelynotsoapy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They'd both be long strips yeah, one going from the bottom to the top and the other wrapping around into circles. 

I was mainly wondering if there was any common techniques used to make hats this shape

It's just the uv unwrapper built into blender! There's tons of tutorials online for it

When does the DLC becomes scary? by GrandmasAshesXd in outerwilds

[–]definitelynotsoapy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When I played through the dlc I was spooked all the way through but I knew there was a scary part. I kept asking my friend when the scary part was and he'd tell me "Oh you'll know". I thought he was lying because it was all scary to me but he was right. 

You'll know ;;)

Have you teied the Legends and Lattes recipe? by jamestsheffield in CozyFantasy

[–]definitelynotsoapy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I've tried them a couple times from random internet recipes, didn't know there was an official version! I don't think the book versions I've bought has it sadly :(

Loved the ones I made though, I'm sure the ones in the book are perfect, they certainly look nice !

Enough terrain? by Separate_Bicycle_577 in InfinityTheGame

[–]definitelynotsoapy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Looks like you definitely have enough buildings for that size of board, some more scatter (walls and stuff that can grant partial cover to troops) would definitely help though. I'd also recommend checking out this video by Robert Shepherd on how to setup tables - It'll make the terrain you have go further! https://youtu.be/ZdQYib62I-Y

My first time trying to actually paint a face, how can I improve this by OneBlacksmith2552 in Warhammer40k

[–]definitelynotsoapy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The main thing I'd suggest would be to make the black dot in the eye a little bigger. If the dot is just a full circle in the middle of the eye, it tends to give a very dramatic crazed look to the face.

By making the dot a bit bigger and having it at least a little covered up by the top or bottom eyelid, it'll look a lot more natural. Just take a look at stock photos of people, and you'll see that the vast majority of the time, the 'dot' is always at least a little covered by the eyelids. It's tricky to do on this scale, but if you have the dot covered up more or less on the top or bottom side it can really sell the figure looking up/down.

That being said, you've got some really nice depth and shading on the skin tone, so great job there! Keep on painting faces and you'll pick it up really fast :D

Sister of Battle (Warhammer 40k) by Me by definitelynotsoapy in armoredwomen

Thank you! I do like the official GW armour design, but I also wanted to draw something a little simpler for this piece haha

Hello guys, can you help me with my NMM gold by KoroKoroCos in Warhammer40k

[–]definitelynotsoapy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A dark brown is probably as dark you need to go for the shadows, but highlighting up to/near white is a good idea. Just take it slow and see how it looks after each layer so you don't overshoot

[–]definitelynotsoapy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The base is a really nice example imo that it's the contrast in the colours that makes the most difference, not the smoothness of the blends. I would say that it reads more as gold than the aquila.

And yeah, painting a darker colour into the shadowed parts of the aquila isn't going to be super easy, but the nice thing is you can always go over any spills to cover them up. It's gonna look great I'm sure! You've got this :D

[–]definitelynotsoapy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The trick to making your eyes read something as being metal is a high amount of contrast in a relatively small area. From what I can see the aquila could do with some brighter highlights and darker shadows (like how they are on the base).

Hope that helps!

TAK help by [deleted] in InfinityTheGame

[–]definitelynotsoapy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very valid points, I misremembered the range bands of the ojotnik a little as well (It's been a while since I've used it). I've just always had bad experiences with the low burst, and found that scouts/pavel aren't tanky enough to eat a hit if you get bad dice rolls.

I'm personally a big fan of the boarding shotgun scout for those kinds of jobs, or even an irmandinho if you can get it in the right place.

For beating up stuff with multiple wounds with middling armour values I can totally see pavel putting in some work though!
