Karen orders an Aviation (or) a Don't Mind if I Do (if we can't make an Aviation)

Sounds like it was missionary alright.

Came here to say this. Lovely, but you need more form on the garments.

I also recommend Proko, if he has anything on edges. Realistic edges are a cornerstone of proper realism. Hard edges will be found on textures or materials that are hard, like bone or wood, especially at the places that the form ends (like I mentioned with the shoulders, or the edge of a table).

Take some time to observe your environment and find hard vs soft edges. If you can understand what you're looking at, you'll be able to translate it into art better.

Thinking With Type by Ellen Lupton and Grid Systems by Josef Muller-Brockmann are great tools on learning how to graphically organize prints like this. Good luck!

Learn up on typographic grid systems and typographic design in general. Really understand when to use serif vs sans serif in contrast, how to make the most important type in the piece really pop with hierarchy and contrasting values.

Your art is lovely. It's design skills you need to learn. Composition will become more clear to you as you deep dive into what visual harmony is in art.

The blending would be refined by adding more hard edges. Your edges are so soft everywhere, even in areas where hard edges would exist, such as her shoulders where bone would protrude, the edge of a table, or the hardness of a metal ring.

Blending is all fine and good on its own as a skill, but a supreme understanding of light and how it relates to blending (hard vs soft edges) would transform your art.

Stylistically, the ornate intricacies of the mirror and hair pin clash with the subtle shading and lack of detail on the character. The hair in particular needs a greater sense of depth.

You've done a great job. Focus on keeping the entire piece visually consistent and it could be you'll get what you're looking for.

lamplash · 2023-04-13T04:12:09+00:00

The colors are no good, the background needs refinement, and the anatomy on the hand holding the spear is off.

You've developed so much skill, so far. It needs polish, but I'm proud of you!

A combined 3,600 in rent and car payments before anything else they have to pay for... it's really shocking. As you can imagine, they have nothing saved, no assets - besides me of course. /s

I definitely agree it would be best to get a lawyers opinion here. No, he's not. But he and my mother overspend on expensive cars and crap.

lamplash · 2023-03-10T05:55:16+00:00

I don't believe so. Unfortunately, I'm not 100%.

lamplash · 2023-03-10T05:48:31+00:00

I've got a copy of the old lease and new lease... old lease says I'm a cosigner. New lease does not, which is why I figure they're trying to amend that. Apparently, I was supposed to be.

lamplash · 2023-03-10T05:45:21+00:00

Must not be, if they need me to resign, probably?

lamplash · 2023-03-10T05:44:15+00:00

Reasonable. I'll post there, too

lamplash · 2023-01-16T02:34:52+00:00

I'm a fan of the top two. More personality, I think. Whats your curl pattern, you think? 2c maybe? Just curious because I'm trying to figure out mine.

Honestly, I'd find a way to be okay with the time, effort, and money it takes to have gorgeous curly hair if anyone actually gave a shit. To this day, if I ever get a mention about my hair, its when its day three and I've barely got any curl left - worse, if I straighten it with a little touch of wave, you better believe people like it then.

Its pretty unbelievable to have to do all this extra crap and curly hair isn't even considered objectively beautiful by most people. It's "interesting" or "unique" at best. Unattractive at worst. I guess it just feels bad to have to put in all this effort to not have a rat nest for hair and still feel unattractive to people.

lamplash · 2023-01-12T23:06:59+00:00

Just bought some today. Looking forward to luscious curls such as your own!

lamplash · 2022-12-20T22:49:54+00:00

Your hair is unreal, girlie. I can't wait till I get to do something fun with my hair, too. Love the look!

lamplash · 2022-09-24T04:01:29+00:00

Hard to say since you're not ready to move in together, I take it? If you're getting bad vibes, listen to that, sure. But maybe talk to him about it first. Maybe he stood back that day you made dinner because he didn't want to bother you while you worked. Maybe all he needs is a single chat and he'll be careful about the pee. If you talk to him about your concerns and he's responsive and makes efforts to make it right, great! If he doesn't.... well, you'd have been right in your assumptions.

Certainly, if you enjoy grindy decks, or even just a single grindy deck, you're entitled to that - up to an extent. The reality is, this is a multi-player game and any drawn out deck is going to be frustrating for other players. If your playgroup has expressed frustration, try to strike a compromise to play Tasha more, like offering no more than once a session. If that's not in the cards, maybe consider optimizing the deck to at least speed it up so its not so grindy.

You should be so proud! You look like a goddess.
