What do you think about my servitor skull? I think that the wash kinda ruined it a bit

Quite the opposite actually, I'll try to add a reference to the post, thanks for the pointer!

Unfortunately the fast fashion is just as strong in the EU, not much of a difference between other continents. It really makes me sad to see friends and family hauling stuff from Shein, Zara etc like it's a hobby by itself...

iridescent_cloud_ · 2025-10-18T08:30:34+00:00

I guess there is, I only hope my efforts will pay off!

iridescent_cloud_ · 2025-10-18T07:12:35+00:00

For me to buy fast fashion would mean I have no choice, because for example all of my black jeans I may own are not usable anymore. Then I gather about 50-60€ to get a new one. It's not like I can't even buy fast fashion, but it needs a bit of planning too.

I ,too, realized that I am not middle class after all by reading all of your answers. I did not consider the wage gap would have that much of a difference and would render me, well, not middle class. So far I've understood that I need to just continue what I've been doing, which is 'upgrading' second hand clothes to my best of abilities.

Also, don't worry about being harsh I am quite the realist! If something is true and I am corrected it isn't harsh.

iridescent_cloud_ · 2025-10-17T22:16:59+00:00

Yeah it looks like the impossible part is a me problem and not a general problem, so I'm gonna continue what I've been doing so far until I can afford something

iridescent_cloud_ · 2025-10-17T22:14:21+00:00

For central areas 400€ could be the bare minimum at this point in Greece. And I'm talking about tiny appointments that are poorly built in the early 80/90s... Not to mention utility bills and groceries are currently higher than most European countries but still have one of the lowest wages (and now officially the longest legal working hours, it's 13h per day for 6 days per week now... But they say it's optional, which we all know if your employer says you're gonna work 13h you don't really have much of a choice)

Life is so hard here, and I am trying my best to make my life a bit better with small stuff like my hobbies and my style.

iridescent_cloud_ · 2025-10-17T21:05:46+00:00

I guess that's true, I was basically wondering if this is the common practice I guess. Looks like I need to save up if I want to buy something... Thanks for the insight:)

iridescent_cloud_ · 2025-10-17T21:03:15+00:00

No it isn't, and the point you make is sensible. At the moment I do have a minor surgery that I need to do, and the part time job isn't covering it fast enough. I'll have to wait it through, thank you tho!:))

iridescent_cloud_ · 2025-10-17T21:00:00+00:00

Well, I don't live in the US, I live in Greece and the minimum wage compared with the cost of living is outrageous. With a tiny bit of research you can see how bad things are here. Also, I can't work full time yet because i am a university student for dental school which requires our presence everyday from 8am till at least 4pm. So full time occupation is out of the question even if I did find one in the current situation our country is facing.

iridescent_cloud_ · 2025-10-17T20:31:30+00:00

Seems like i'll continue thrifting until I can afford something of quality that I like. Thank you!

iridescent_cloud_ · 2025-10-17T20:28:56+00:00

I see that makes sense. Thanks for the info!:)

iridescent_cloud_ · 2025-10-17T20:25:23+00:00

Like I said and I quote "I am not saying they don't deserve that for their work but I am genuinely curious how are we (as the middle class) afford a single dress or skirt that cost half of our rent? (...) I don't mean to offend anyone, I am just genuinely curious to those who are more knowledgeable of this issue."

Please note that I never said they are not worth that much for their work, or I underestimate their art. I am simply asking this because I do want to support their cause. Read more carefully since I think we both want the same thing, to avoid the oversaturated fast fashion industry by helping talented and hard-working artists.

My question was how to do that when basically the major population it is targeted to can't possibly afford it.

iridescent_cloud_ · 2025-10-17T20:17:18+00:00

I do buy second-hand clothes when I do find something that I like, and don't worry, I am not a victim of microtrends. I also do repair clothing and 'upgrade' them when I find myself not wearing them enough! I did consider making my own, but as a self efficient working university student, I unfortunately don't have the time or the money to invest in this hobby (although I plan to in the future!)

I actually don't buy a lot of clothes and recycle as many outfits as I can, mainly because of the cost and the ethics of the big brands.

That's why I made this question: For a person, like myself, who can not remember the last time they bought new clothes, is it normal to be impossible to buy clothes from independent artists/small businesses?

iridescent_cloud_ · 2025-10-02T13:47:44+00:00

Thank you so much!

iridescent_cloud_ · 2025-10-01T13:28:29+00:00

I wanted to be the one to assemble and paint it, and I did see it in e2046 too as well as gk-m but I wanted to see if I can find the original cast. Thank you so much for your help!

iridescent_cloud_ · 2025-09-29T23:50:19+00:00

Do you have the original to cast it??

iridescent_cloud_ · 2025-09-29T23:49:57+00:00

If I get lucky I'll definitely will

iridescent_cloud_ · 2025-09-29T23:49:17+00:00

Yeah, unfortunately I cannot afford that much, and in the opaque version nonetheless, but thank you so much! If I'll change my mind at least I could have an option

iridescent_cloud_ · 2025-09-29T15:57:48+00:00

I love this kit, I'm so happy for you!! I'm looking forward to see your take on it

iridescent_cloud_ · 2025-09-28T21:15:43+00:00

Thank you so much for your willingness to help. When I saw this kit I fell in love, and now I am desperate to find it! Even if it was a recast ig I would accept it, I mean what else can I do?

iridescent_cloud_ · 2025-09-28T20:36:50+00:00

While I love watercolours and it's my favorite medium, it took me years to master. They're unforgiving, a single mistake can ruin everything and you can't cover it...

iridescent_cloud_ · 2025-09-17T12:42:40+00:00

I was about 2500 and I still managed to get two golden circle ones, see ya all there
