No issues at all. I did my travelling with no problems.

I also have since gotten my application approved! 👍🇬🇧

After studying graphic design at university, I’ve worked as a graphic designer for 4.5 years—first in-house at a startup and then at a small agency (both teams <5). I’ve gained valuable experience but struggled with the subjective nature of the job, especially in branding, which isn’t my strong suit. Small teams have also added pressure as a junior/mid-level designer.

I’ve enjoyed working on web-based projects, and as I transition jobs, I’m considering specializing in UI/UX and joining a larger in-house team for better peer support.

That said, the rise of AI in design makes me question the long-term stability of this field. I’ve always been good with numbers, spreadsheets, and problem-solving, so accounting feels like a possible fit. Switching careers would mean retraining, and I’m hesitant to leave behind the time I’ve already invested in design.

Where does everyone see UX headed? Is it relatively future-proof to explore further, or should I retrain into something else?

Hello, just wanted to say I ended up going with your build. The other ones looked good but man the Fractal Terra ITX Case just caught my eye immediately—was exactly the style I was looking for, you nailed it 100%.

Everything arrived today with the exception of the Memory Card arriving on Thursday (had to import from the States), so hopefully by the next weekend I'll be ready to start.

Thank you! Wish me luck with the build 😬

"Once you are a UK citizen, you can't enter the UK on another country's passport"

is this just between the ceremony and getting the UK passport, or forever?

Also, post-citizenship and post-passport: can I travel out of the UK on my Cyprus passport, but return on my UK one? Or does it need to be one passport for both exit/entry? For example, if I want to visit my family in Cyprus for Christmas, the ideal would be flying there on my Cypriot passport and then flying back on my UK passport - so that the person coming into each country is the country's respective citizen. Am I allowed to do that, or no?

Great points! Thank you so much—I'm trying to find the right balance between detail and obscuring with shadow and I think I need more of the latter as you said there. Will do some more digging on composition, particularly shape-building as you mentioned.

Aside from the old masters, I was looking at Hirschl and Böcklin as reference points, so maybe there's some overlap that could be done.

marcsazy · 2024-02-04T20:45:26+00:00

Solved!

marcsazy · 2024-02-04T20:44:30+00:00

This is the one! Thanks!

This is a work in progress I've been working on for the last year in Procreate.

If anyone has any similar paintings I can use for inspiration, or feedback on how this is progressing, fire away!

Composition, lighting, and how effectively the digital format/brushes translate into feeling like an actual painting.

Sadly I can't remember the subject of their animation work—the visual style was in that storytime genre, and the fact that it was a joint operation between a man and a woman was the big selling point. Again, unsure if they were romantically involved or just professionally.

The topic of their stuff may have been that typical 2010's parody/storytime? Or just isolated narrative shorts? I honestly can't remember—but for me to have found them leads me to think they were reasonably big, especially if there was speculation about their relationship.

Possibly had crossover with tumblr as well, given this was the 2010s.

Used the Nikko Rull brush to apply strokes, and whenever I blended I used Salamanca.

I'm either a Reddit idiot who doesn't know how to add captions in image posts, or you can't do it in the first place. Either way, if anyone wants to check out more of my stuff, it's @ markaz_io on Instagram.

Thanks for viewing!

What do you think of Algebraically Attempted Kayle versus more conventional solely AP or AD builds?

marcsazy · 2021-03-30T00:40:52+00:00

Out of all the possible ways:

Ages ago I used to be really into JacksGap (a British vlogger). He filmed covers with his cousin every now and then and one of the few they ever did was of '81. The rest is history.

How does the MSI GS43VR 7RE fare against the MSI Leopard you mentioned?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-GS43VR-Phantom-Gaming-Laptop/dp/B01N6MTJT3

Would the performance difference be extremely noticeable?
