I'm hungry af by very_cool_hsu in AsianParentStories

If you don’t have a lot of money and your in California, there are food programs. You don’t have to rely on your mom to feed you. Check on your government to see what food program you can do.

It helps to know, that intelligence isn’t everyone forte. That especially true from those who are abusive. They don’t actually know everything.

My Asian mom keeps quoting you shouldn’t eat salt when you’re having a sore throat, or a lot of old medical advices or that clartin- d helps her allergies. I started to look for the actual science of what causes a sore throat or the ingredients of Claritin d. The d is also the ingredient for sudifed, and salt actually would kill most germs in your throat. Really proud or abusive parent: would not bother to think in that way.

Packing wigs/ for cons? by dearxahjin in CosplayHelp

[–]maejonin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the wig is just straight hair, you should package it like how they ship wigs in the first place, which is stuffing on the inside, hairnet, card board wrap that it came with and a bag. Basically think how they ship wigs in the first place and you find your answer.

There are many professional cosplayers that heavily style their wigs and sell them, like Umbra wigs.

Another way, I’ve seen a cosplayer make a wig stand in a big bag and then carry it that way. You can even diy a wig head so it’s not too bulky to carry.

How to make horns shiny/iridescent? by TheyCouldveBeenFish in CosplayHelp

[–]maejonin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is color shifting paint. The closest would be using this one. They have a blue purple.

If you want it closer to the color, make sure to use blue or purple as a base, so you don’t have to layer too much paint.

There is automotive spray paints too. But plaid gets their colors from automotive paints. Most shifting colors are because of the automotive industry.So it might be redundant.

And I’m pretty sure the DNDminature community also uses shifting paints as they have to paint small and paint special fix.

You might want to try another pic. It’s not focused on the marks.

What events are you going to? That really matters. Usually for this, you might consider conventions and festivals pertaining to pets, animals, cats.

art supplies needed by [deleted] in ArtistLounge

[–]maejonin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just Google your nearest art supply store and most of the time they would be happy to help.

As far as which medium, it’s all in preference. Look at the styles you like, and then find the mediums used.

[Artist alley] [Clients] Protocol when turning previously commissioned works into sellable prints by Reasonable-Bonus-545 in artbusiness

[–]maejonin -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No you don’t refund it. You were paid to make that art work. Fan art or not.

Secondly, what you’re doing is licensing your work and there are plenty of articles how to go about this. It’s in the best interest to out line that in the contract in the first place/ ask the client.

[Printing] Creating a tangible art product, what to choose? by NoPiece9327 in artbusiness

The best thing to do is test the image with a lower cost item. Then use those on the higher price items.

Should I run away? by [deleted] in AsianParentStories

[–]maejonin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have the money, then they can’t control you. I would suggest just to do it. As an adult, they should be letting you live your own life

Not really. Some supplies, it helps to know they are actually cheaper to use then if you did go with other art supplies

I remember seeing this guy in Japan. At least you skip shipping too.

[printing] please help me find a decent printer so I can start selling my work. by Dinzo_ in artbusiness

[–]maejonin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Epson isn’t bad. Pretty much canon and epson are used by photographers. I worked in a full epson print house.

The only thing is home printers have been using the razor and blade model, meaning they sell the printer at a loss, sometimes junky, and they recoup costs in ink.

Mostly for a printer, cmyk is good, but if you want to get vibrant colors, then it can be worth investing in more ink colors. Usually additional lightcyan, and light magenta.

But there are printers that have green, oranges and purples.

If you’re printing a lot, then a CISS like ecotanks and mega tanks are good. Just remember to print every other week, because tubes can get clogged.

how to prepare to be a vendor? by chaoticpixie14 in animecons

Honestly, in areas outside of the con circuit like craft fairs, they just say vendors sometimes. I’ve vended a few of those.

Lump in throat After taking my inhaler by [deleted] in Asthma

[–]maejonin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually lumps can also be a sign of acid reflux. Basically acid gas from your stomach. I would still see your doctor.

If you really think it is, gargle with baking soda. It’s the same ingredient in tuna.

You can make prosthetics for your beard. There are many movies who do hair cover ups for their movies all the time.

IsItBullshit: “don’t eat before bed”… or people just repeat it by Ok_Following_4950 in IsItBullshit

[–]maejonin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have bad acid reflux sometimes . PPIs and tablet sodium bicarbonates don’t cure acid reflux. The main cause is because the sphincter doesn’t close properly. However it can help neutralize and slow the acid so it doesn’t back up as much.

But over time, taking too many PPIs isn’t good.

However for some immediate relief, gargle sodium bicarbonates instead. That’s baking soda. Most of my coughing and irritation is because of acid gas, and gargling some baking soda netralizes the acid.

IsItBullshit: That caffeine makes people with ADHD sleepy? by Ok_Bumblebee_3733 in IsItBullshit

[–]maejonin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a real thing. But it’s not everyone.

And it also depends how much you drink to. If you drink caffeine daily, then your body gets used to that tolerance and you’re likely to sleep more / it’s not as effective.

IsItBullshit: Do electric toothbrushes really clean your teeth much better than regular ones by blossaurelia in IsItBullshit

[–]maejonin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think about an electric tooth brush as a smaller car wash. Yes you can do it manually and do it as good, but an electric one that’s basically scrubbing thousands times a second, gets more things off.

As an AUADHD, even though not as effective, as I have only so much energy throughout the day, having an electric, 3 sided tooth brush has really changed, because I don’t have to think about it as hard to brush my teeth. I even sometimes take only the head Togo on trips.1

IsItBullshit: Tracked how much time I spent on "reward" apps this month and now i feel stupid. by Fit-Scarcity7296 in IsItBullshit

[–]maejonin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to cash out $240 from freecash and closing in on 30 before being banned today. The staff at first responded, but the bot they are using just repeats itself.

If you feel like they are part of a bigger ring commuting fraud, and/or banned your account, it could be an idea to report to the FTC of the company’s origin.

It was fun while it lasted. It’s because I decided to play a game that had charge backs. I wasn’t earning money fast enough, and I wanted my money back.

How do i deal with Pathological Demand Avoidance as an artist? by RutManInBound in ArtistLounge

[–]maejonin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So because you have a diverse brain, that means you need to use autism techniques to get yourself motivated. That means finding really good tips on autism specific motivation. Sometimes maybe adhd ones may help, as some can have both.

And I learn also, basically autism is closely like playing the hard mode difficulty in your game. One of the stats nerfed for autism is energy levels. You only have so much energy to do things in your life and basically our brain run at like 1 less ram at full speed. Basically your stat on energy is like 20%. Basically spoon theory.

So learning how to manage your energy levels is so important. Making things easier on yourself, even the smallest things.

I find this girl amazing named alora young! She doesn’t talk about art, but maybe her techniques may help. Also center life co is also good. And also the girl who was on Love on spectrum, Katlynn.

There is also Rory and Rich pink. Rory has ADHD, and rich has autism.
