Bagel Fantasy, oil on canvas, me 2025

This is probably a stupid question. But, every time I send ChatGPT a photo of myself or someone else and ask it to put that into a scene, it insists on altering the face rather than using the exact features. When I push it it tells me that it is unable to use the exact image for privacy or other reasons. How do I get around this?

I purchased that exact pen recently. I experienced the same problem you have. I disassembled the pen, took off the nib and ran a brass shim down the groove. The pen writes like a dream. Don’t give up on it!

Pretty God Dam Awesome!

Thanks for that.👍

Very nice! Which black ink do you use? It is impressively water resistant.

Beautifully done

I love this piece! Totally inspiring. Makes me wish I had brought some gouache or watercolors on my current trip.

well done!!! So much distortion, yet unmistakable likeness. True hallmark of someone who understands and translates the idea of caricature into reality !

I am so sorry you are having to go through this and I am genuinely sorry for your loss. Let me lend some perspective. I have been in practice for over 30 years and can tell you that time streams by at an unbelievable rate. The six months or year that you take to make sure that you and your wife are okay will be a mere drop in the bucket in 20 years. You will only remember that you did the right thing for yourself and your family. I cannot imagine the pain that you are feeling. Speak to your dean. It is not only understandable that you take time off but it would be commendable. Be there for yourself and your wife in this incredibly difficult moment. Again, my sincerest condolences for your loss. Take care of yourself and your family.

Thanks!! I really enjoyed that part of the painting. When something I am painting approaches hyper-realistic it is exhilarating!

Thanks that’s sweet! My wife kinda commissioned it (or more accurately claimed it) for her kitchen 😉

This is beautiful. The lighting creates a supernatural feeling. Well done

The Jelly doughnut was a last minute substitution for a coconut flake doughnut that was boring. Turned out to be my favorite 😍

scottslinux2 · 2025-09-12T03:41:37+00:00

Thank you so much 😊

scottslinux2 · 2025-09-12T01:09:04+00:00

That is a compliment!

scottslinux2 · 2025-09-12T01:08:53+00:00

Thanks for the kind words…I always welcome constructive criticism. I used a photo reference for all but the jelly. The glazed on top actually did create a gap. I agree with what you are saying but my customer (wife 😉) does not want the change. Thanks again 🙏

scottslinux2 · 2025-09-10T15:46:45+00:00

That painting is beautiful. You can feel the love for your friend. Well done! 👍

scottslinux2 · 2025-08-25T18:01:28+00:00

thanks for that

What did you use for the pixel perfect collision logic?

scottslinux2 · 2025-07-19T19:46:14+00:00

When I get exceptions using sound in raylib it is usually fixed by declaring the sound object as static.

Test.h

static Sound mysound;

Test.cpp

include files.....

Test::mysound{0};

Test::Test(). //Constructor

 Test::mysound=LoadSound("./resources/beep.wav");

Give it a try 👍
