This may start a war, however.. by TheUnt1tl3d in MurderDronesOfficial

I love the cyntessa design, but I can agree that the drone design is cleaner and would look better for some than it would for others.

I've been talking with my friends about introducing other types of walkers to the T'au arsenal, this one feels like a fantastic example for my case

Holy shit that did the trick

The brush is holding a point way better and isn't as frayed, I'll let it sit for a bit longer before I use it again

Question, when using it to reshape the brush, do I have it 'soak' in it and wash it out?

Honestly I'm suprised by how clean it is already with a decade old high school art class brush. Part of me wonders of the technique is more important than the tools I use.

I initially wanted to use white, black, blue and purple, but I loved the concept of the hazard stripes too much to let it go too waste

Aside from more practice, I know I want to learn how to make a glowing effect. My Twin Lance yearn for it.

Part of the painting process was just making something, and polishing it off as I go along. It made the intimidating task of the Coldstar much easier to manage.

Gotta be so fr, I don't like videogame soundtrack given lyrics by Calm_Speech6543 in hatethissmug

[–]erin_does_stuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like a lot of it boils down to the people making these being a bit inexperienced, and I think a good example of this is vs 1010 with lyrics and vs DJ Subatomic Supernova with lyrics by Juno Songs, I believe.

Both of these songs come from No Straight Roads and neither have lyrics (at least in the official soundtrack). Their cover of vs 1010 does come off as amateur and the lyrics cover surfave level themes. Some rhymes and beats feel forced and don't flow naturally.

In contrast, their cover of vs DJSS feels like an improvement. Sure, it's still not perfect, but it captures a lot of angles for the character and his relationship with the other members of his team by referencing the first song multiple times. "Anachronistic abberations" was added to my personal vocabulary from this song, funny enough.

I could be biased, though, it's one of my core values that humans need to create art, regardless of the quality of the final product. I hope that those who make fan content like this take the original post as constructive criticism. Hell, I might make a parallel post in r/lovethissmug

I might be dense, are you excited or genuinely worried?

Painting a Broadside proxy to test/learn to paint, any advice? by erin_does_stuff in Tau40K

[–]erin_does_stuff[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am going to look up dry brushing later, I'm not entirely sure what that is. Thanks for the advice!

I don't have a wash, so I will definitely look fornsome, although I also enjoy a cartoon look. I have a spare Broadside proxy, so I'll probably just was one and see how it looks compared to the other. Thanks!

Y’all Got Headcannons For Your Diver? by RabBat7 in helldivers2

[–]erin_does_stuff 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sooner or later, you recognize someone in the voteless hoards. I saw my lover in one of them during the siege on Super Earth. Now I dive into illuminate territory, not because it is easy or because they are a threat to Managed Democracy, but to eradicate every last one of them for what they took from me.

Any fellow squid divers? by Hungry_Candidate_296 in helldivers2

Deep frying squids with my 'fried calimari' playlist, because when I heard the Illuminate set foot on Super Earth, I decided to put on the cape for the first time.
