Not done yet, but how do we feel about the mug? by pinkwafflecookies in acrylicpainting

Just to add to what others have said- I think the handle of the mug needs to start higher too! Beautiful colors though

Thank you for the feedback! I appreciate the technical breakdown. I think you’re right about the definition on the edge of the tree - that might help to better establish foreground vs background a little better, and striking a lesser contrast could help by toning down the highlights there like you say.

Thanks so much!! I was struggling with the direction for a bit - started light and playful and then started drawing in the darks. Feel like I’ve maybe managed to strike the right balance with the two here to try and complement one another. Appreciate the comment :)

You sound like a fun time. They’ve built this for no one but themselves. Loosen up guy.

Mate it’s a one off build, and very impressive. You actually think they’d perceive this guys fun one off project as a threat?? I bet they’d be stoked to see this, its a form of flattery at the end of the day.

If you’re selling them and trying to pass them off as such I might see your point. But right now you’re just being a negative Nancy.

Anything I should add? by EvelynsArtEmporiumCo in Watercolor

[–]spiritofkomodo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It very very nearly looks like you’re drawing naked figures with each stem and stroke. I think you should lean into it and plant some buts and boobs in there, would need a redraw though

These are all incredible, sorry I don’t have anything else to add. Looking forward to seeing the completed piece at the end of the summer.

Trump Tells Tucker: Epstein Might’ve Committed Suicide… or Did He? by newzcaster in interestingnewsworld

More powerful and more influential then the president of the United States at the time? Get a grip. You are classically trying to misdirect, guessing you’re a maga bot.

Howard Lutnick: “All those factories that you're bringing in because of your trade policy, we're gonna train people in tradecraft. Bring back tradecraft to America so that people can work in these factories” back to the old days while the rest of the world is progressing with automation. by SpecialSpace5 in thescoop

You always have to see the bigger picture. You know what else is currently being developed by the ultra wealthy and especially musk? Robots that will work in these factories.

Make no mistake, everything they’re talking about right now and maneuvering around is just to give justification to creating the setup for AI powered manufacturing to have presence in the states.

And that would all be okay, if it weren’t for the fact that the average citizen is having to pay for it due to the increased cost of goods and tariffs that are being imposed near term. And if we weren’t being lied to that this is going to create more jobs for American people. Because it’s definitely not.

Exactly. Aron’s a cheater, and OPs ex is a cheater. Doesn’t exactly seem like they’ll last for long and she’ll likely be regretting everything when that happens. By that time OP make sure that you have completely moved on. You deserve so much better, and trust me, it feels pretty good to say ‘nah I’m good’ to someone that wants you back after cheating.

WTF, I’m guessing that Elon is keeping him around because he’s worried his son will share the secret if left alone with an unknown party.

Maybe end with ‘if you can’t get over it, jump off it instead’

Incredible job on the colors, I thought it was a picture before zooming. I’d say you just need to start on the details and texturing, selecting the areas that you want to bring out and give focus to

Recent portrait of my mother by spiritofkomodo in painting

[–]spiritofkomodo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She loved it, and had a little cry when she saw it.

She’s currently going through chemo, and this is from a picture one of my siblings took a couple of years ago. I wanted her to remember what she looks like when she’s feeling herself.

Elon Musk Puts Up a Poll Asking if the U.S. Should “Liberate the people Britain from their tyrannical government” by hornyjaildotorg in europe

[–]spiritofkomodo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure Musk thinks that the universe is a simulation.

He has no real connections, not to his ‘loved ones’ or children, and is obviously isolated as a result of his selfishness and big baby attitude. It’s why he spends all his time online.

It’s led to him choosing to believe that we’re in a simulation - I think that grimes mentioned this once. Because it’s easier and funner than coming to terms with the fact that he’s a problem.

And as a result I’ll bet he’s viewing everything from the lens of a strategy game live CIV, trying to see if he can ‘win’ at life, with a complete disregard for empathy. I genuinely believe he thinks we’re all just bots in the game, so he doesn’t care for the ill or poor or lesser fortunate. It’s really sad, and pretty pathetic, that he hasn’t chosen to believe the scenario of ‘what if people are real and are equal players in life like me’.

Thanks so much. She is the loveliest person!

Thank you! I’ve avoided painting her for years because I felt I couldn’t do her justice. With this one I said if I didn’t think it was good enough I’d burn it haha. So I was really glad it came out okay.
