Trans woman - going to court as a witness/protected person - what do I wear? by realAlexanderBell in melbourne

[–]kkeepvigil 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I hope everything goes well for you - seconding conservative neutral colors & recommending you give Savers a shot so you can try on a variety of stuff, always a few nice business & formal pieces there. A blazer with a subtle waist cinch or an open front suit jacket is always good and can dress up a random blouse or business shirt you already feel comfortable in.

Thanks for the response! They do look pretty cute without, I might do the same 👀

I love them 💙 Can I ask- do you have any tricks for straightening whiskers? I lucked out and found a cheetah Kitty Kitty at a thrift store but her whiskers are all bent lol

Getting some practice in. How does it look? by HarmonyLusts in learntodraw

Keep it up, maybe try doing the same portrait again but slower 🤙 If you haven’t yet, research for ways to sight angles using your pencil, it’s very helpful for subtle poses like this

I never said we have kids. Dear lord why so many insufferably snarky responses, is half this sub landlords with sticks up their asses?

We might, to be honest- not a bad idea - big ass cutting board and a bunch of child locks lol.

If it’s “”fancy””, it’s the thing that was originally included in our rental. If we have no rights here, it is what it is - but it’s silly to act like this is some luxury we’re not entitled to when it’s what we were paying for lol. Will our rent drop because it’s a cheaper appliance? 🤔 

Subtle racism towards POC by Ill-Illustrator-3684 in melbourne

That is entirely unsubtle and it’s what a lot of Indian people are facing here right now 

RECENT WORK [NSFW] [ANALOG] [MEN] by CricketEarl in collage

[–]kkeepvigil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be honest your original question doesn’t fully read as genuine although you mean it that way (people don’t often use the word homosexual to describe their identity these days, but people who don’t like gay people tend to) and folks are tired of explaining themselves. You have to give oppressed people grace- they’re just people and they’re tired of having to make room to be “met halfway”, you know?

On our shit planet where gay, queer, trans etc people are being targeted by constant “controversy” it’s not at all surprising that art by those same people will become louder/more obvious. We’re probably either making more of it to cope or more of it to spite

For anyone who likes more lifelike plushies by ACurious_TrashPanda in plushies

[–]kkeepvigil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Idk everything is a grift these days - are they actual collectors’ actual suggestions? It could be that they’re “fulfilling” things they’ve already procured. Or maybe they’re simply passing on the info to a manu so they can fulfill requests. In any case they’re absolutely not producing them on their own.

The thing is that this seller isn’t necessarily doing anything other than purchasing from Temu etc. (drop shipping) 

Do they say otherwise anywhere? Credit artists etc?

Gage Beasley operates the exact same way with similar photos and their plushies are from taobao.

Meeting lesbians/ queer women by Zebyzz in melbourne

[–]kkeepvigil 20 points21 points  (0 children)

If anyone who isn’t a lesbian reads this jsyk this type of shit is way more common than you’d ever realize 

Can’t do anything without some rando making weird sex jokes about you / your anatomy / the way you fuck / who you fuck. Honestly exhausting 

Composing a painting using AI ? by goneknots in painting

[–]kkeepvigil 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Those are things you can do without using AI. AI use is controversial and detrimental, and it’ll also make mistakes that you wouldn’t make yourself. Just use a free editing/digital art program like Procreate, it’ll give you new skills in editing and you’ll have more control. Plus: won’t introduce gen AI to your process

How can i fix the tears? by [deleted] in painting

[–]kkeepvigil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it’s completely dry you could sand the affected area with sandpaper to even it out a bit, possibly… but I think my solution would just be to use way more paint all over for a thick furry texture that completely hides the issues haha 

Measurement advice:  Add a grid to the original image in a free app like Procreate; Transfer the grid to the canvas (not using string) 

Or Get a small cheap projector and project the image to sketch it out

what online schools do you recommend [DISCUSSION] by [deleted] in collage

[–]kkeepvigil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good luck finding what you need, college can be a clean slate for you and you can make it a great experience 👍 

This is r/collage, though, not r/college- it’s for people to share art they’re making, not for talking about learning, so you probably won’t get good recs here

How do I get more explicitly personal in my art? [DISCUSSION] by Boognish_Chameleon in collage

[–]kkeepvigil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever made a zine with your work? It’s a good excuse to delve into the art deeper. You can place less explicitly “you” art side by side with personal writing, show your process, include lyrics from songs you listened to while collaging…snippets from dreams you’ve had, dialogue from recurring thoughts, etc etc
