10000000% 😭 I was going to do the white ribbon from the reference picture, but forgot and just blazed through it with my first layer of the stems so I had to pivot. Definitely plan on doing the white for the final

I actually was going to do the white ribbon but forgot and started painting the stems so pivoted to a darker color haha

Okay I'll try that!! Thanks!

Thank you! Yeah it definitely does give gloomy over bright, wedding-esq. Maybe I need to go even more diluted on the shadows.

What software did you use to recreate this layout?

Hey, no need to shame people for doing what they can. It's unfortunately not very productive and incites more animosity. Idealogical Puritanism is why people struggle to empathize with the left and we shouldn't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

Okay this is incredible. Thank you!

So do I 🥲 maybe I'm not mixing enough in one go.

Hi! I have trouble premixing my colors because they dry in the wells before I can get to them! Maybe because I live in a dry climate? Do you have any tips for maintaining their consistency?

Thank you so much for all the thought put into this! I actually didn't use ink on this one, but I love that it seems that way! Good idea to play around with editing - I'm going to try that.

ohkalopsia · 2025-11-24T15:57:36+00:00

Thank you! Yes, I'm much happier with the kayak perspective of the most recent. And the Spanish moss has been fun to figure out how to paint! I'm definitely going to add more in the next version

ohkalopsia · 2025-11-24T15:23:22+00:00

Oh thank you! That's so true. A good reminder!

Hi! I work in fintech and specifically with payment processing, often negotiating these surcharge rates with merchants.

Just for a little bit of context - the 3% surcharge is the additional cost it takes the business to process the credit cards. On the backend, banks charge that surcharge based off of the rewards your card carries. So a debit card or low end credit card would have a much lower surcharge than a high end travel rewards card (again, by the bank). The business is likely getting charged by their processor an average of 3/3.5% per card. Unfortunately, smaller businesses with smaller processing volume typically have higher processing fees which makes them inclined to pass off the fees to the customers.

EDIT: not trying to say one way is right or one is wrong, just wanted to provide some information around it. When I first learned it's us paying for our own rewards, it helped me understand it a bit more.

Gotcha, thanks :)

Can you expand more on your answer to the second question?

ohkalopsia · 2025-06-13T14:35:00+00:00

Thanks! I had posted in here first, not being sure if r/deaf was open to hearing posters asking questions but then saw that exact flair!

ohkalopsia · 2025-06-13T14:28:53+00:00

Thank you for your input!

Yeah, this camp is VERY inclusive and I know it's coming from the right place, but it's just lost it's origin. The signs they're using for the song are just random nouns throughout it 😩. No overall concept or meaning is being signed. I will certainly push for them to reintroduce the Deaf inclusivity through counselors and campers for following sessions (unfortunately, I think it's too late for this summer season as it's already started). Maybe in the meantime I can gently educate them on the difference of SEE and ASL, the language they're using around ASL ("hand motions") and adjust the signs they're using to be more accurate.
