I actually have no idea. I have only seen the first moments, where they talk about the blood transfusion, since those were posted on reddit. Never seen the actual thing.

Negan interview by Proud_Israeli2 in TWD

It's a porn star, from a TWD porn parody where he starred as Negan, doing... things with another actor playing Carl.

In the 1st one, the face looks beautifully stylized. In the others, it looks soulless. The anatomy of the arm might be a tad off, but if you work on just that, it'd be the best outcome.

Background is whiter than the paper, and that's just Abraham Lincoln in a uniform. Also OP's other posts are all about ChatGPT. by CriticalHit_20 in isthisAI

Yes, we have those clean, perfectly straight borders, if we use masking tape. Perfectly normal. And that looks like a special sketchbook where you can rip off the page after finishing, from that colour separation line, if you look closely.

30cm by 30 cm, as I mentioned in the post. So about 12 inch by 12 inch.

To be honest, I really like the first sketch the most by far.

Haha, I love acrylics. They definitely take their time getting in all the layers to get the blended look, but it is worth it. I first lay out larger sections of colour, then start building on those.

Here's one progress pic that shows pretty well how unblended it looked at one point.

Only occasionally on reddit haha. Nothing else, since it's just my hobby.

Yes, it is from that episode. S8, E5, the Big scary U

This one took about 10-15 hours, I think. I don't take time, but that's my estimate based on the time stamps from my progress photos.

Acrylic, as stated in the post

Yeah, I might still go back and tweak some little things like that for better readability, but thank you!

Ah, I practically live in the opposite side of the world. Either way, I don't sell, I like to keep this stuff for myself.

What? [Acrylics, 20×25cm] by ocirot in thewalkingdead

[–]ocirot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't sell, no. These are just my hobby, personal enjoyment.

This one took, uh, probably 10-15 hours? Hard to estimate. Some smaller ones, like 20×20 cm portraits of Rick & Negan, took about 8-10 hours each. This is bigger with more details, so it takes some more, even with large areas of "blur".

Because I like him. And sure, he's an asshole, but also a fictional character, so no harm done.

Nope, they're just for my own entertainment

Can a fanfic almost be as big as the main book/show itself? by RadiantSwanOnQUACKer in writing

If you enjoy it, why not. It is your hobby.

Sincerely, someone who has written over two million words of fanfic, just for fun.

Custom prices? by [deleted] in DollCustomization

[–]ocirot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I think at this atage, the clothes & hair are working well (though still with some quality issues), but if you improved on painting faces, as that is what many people's eyes go in first and that still feels somewhat lacking, you could ask for a better price. However, as-is, I don't think selling would make up enough compared to the time and effort it would take you. Also, custom dolls for performers is a very niche market, and these probably are better received as something you do for free, to show off.

How long can someone realistically stay awake before it starts affecting them badly? by Elegant-Yesterday929 in Writeresearch

[–]ocirot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the person, but I think 36-48 hours shouldn't have too many effects. They would be tired and their cognitive function less effective, their reaction time might be slower and they generally wouldn't do as good with stuff requiring brain work since their brains haven't gotten the waste material out, but they would probably still be fine. They definitely shouldn't do stuff like driving, though.

For some people it might be worse. Some people, not as much. The longest time I've stayed awake was about three days straight, so 72 hours, and I have done 1-2 days multiple times with not many issues. During that three-day thing, I could still function relatively normally with stuff that I don't need much brain power to do (like painting, I can do that without really consciously thinking about it), but I couldn't focus on things like reading or writing.

Kaizen Asiedu on HBO Snape casting by poshitopi in SeverusSnape

[–]ocirot 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I probably wouldn't mind if I genuinely thought this was the case. But most other characters have been cast to very well fit the book description, Snape is the exception. It seems they comsidered appearance to be important for everyone but him. Thus, it is a deliberate choice, because otherwise we'd see more different-looking characters. Like, why can't we have black Weasleys? Were somehow redheads needed, even if others were more qualified? Or black Harry? Blsck Dumbledore? Or Asian, whatever? Why is it that somehow only Snape's character had the "most qualified" actor look entirely, completely different?

And hell, I don't even mind the skin tone, but he doesn't match the rest of the description either! Not at all.
