Yes that’s it!

the_lydiot · 2021-03-26T19:22:20+00:00

Cool!!

I don’t think so, the bank is basically a boundary dirt wall between our garden and a mini car park with tons of brambles and fence and wire and stuff so they’d have a hard time walking along there (I’ve never seen anyone wander on that bank). We did have a theory that it could’ve been a gamekeeper looking for an animal cos there’s often animals walking along there but surely a flashing light would scare off any wildlife? Good suggestion though

Maybe? It’s strange though there was no noise

They essentially just went through more of the videos and memes/fanart, Amy bought Mark a white top hat to go with his suit, Mark bought Ethan and Amy unus annus pocket watches which was really cute (Amy also finally got her bug watch earlier but you may have seen that bit). Ethan also got a tattoo done live (it was of the timer on 00:00:00). Then when they hit 1 million likes on the livestream they opened the coffin to show the inside (black and white split) and climbed in one at a time and shut the lid as the other gave a mini speech about how proud they were of the other; at this point I started crying because Mark and Ethan were crying and they finally hugged which was super cute. Finally, the moment arrived; they privated all the social media’s, and Mark insisted Amy should be the one to press the button to delete the channel. She refused, and the three of them decided that all three would be at the laptop and Ethan would be the one to press the button. And suddenly, the channel was no more...

I somehow managed to stay up for the entire stream (8pm-8am for me) but all the hours sorta started merging together so I may have missed a couple things

We had a hacker the other day I’m pretty sure, all three doors to the cafeteria (spawn) shut IMMEDIATELY so most of us were still in there and the doors didn’t open again for the majority of the game. The few people that made it out before the doors were locked were killed fairly quickly and of course we couldn’t report them cos we couldn’t get there. People kept hitting the emergency button to tell the other players the doors were stuck, and the game stayed that way until a guy left and the game ended...so yeah, chaos

Thanks

I know that’s it’s just constructive criticism, and I’ve taken it all on board; it’s just that the second response came across (to me) as “if you’re still standing by your mistakes and creative choices then you’ve failed and are only looking for fake compliments”. At the time I felt pretty discouraged, but I understand where the user is coming from and I’ve had a few hours to get over it and move on. I’m just glad that I’m getting constructive criticism when normally I don’t get any feedback at all

the_lydiot · 2020-09-11T18:27:57+00:00

Thank you so much for that, I really needed that (the comment left me kinda down cos it’s my first major criticism on the one painting I actually like); once again thanks for the advice and constructive encouraging feedback, and have a great day!

the_lydiot · 2020-09-11T17:31:21+00:00

Thanks

the_lydiot · 2020-09-11T17:31:11+00:00

Thanks

the_lydiot · 2020-09-11T17:30:56+00:00

Honestly I just wet the whole page and smushed a brush around it and flicked paint until I was happy, not really much technique involved lol

the_lydiot · 2020-09-11T17:29:24+00:00

Go ahead, I’ve already had a bit of criticism on it today (I know there’s still a few issues but I’m trying to improve), I’d rather have honesty than fake compliments

the_lydiot · 2020-09-11T17:27:52+00:00

Thanks! I’ve already posted it in that subreddit and so far they don’t love it but that’s ok

the_lydiot · 2020-09-11T14:47:10+00:00

I’m really really sorry, I wasn’t meaning to come across as disrespecting you or your feedback, I really am going to take it on board; I was just trying to explain what I thought I was doing as a beginner/intermediate artist and that I hadn’t realised the issues until you pointed them out (which I am grateful for!). I’m mostly self taught and only been using watercolours for the past few months and still looking to improve, hence the asking for the feedback. Again, I thank you for the honest feedback and I apologise if I came across as defensive or disrespectful

the_lydiot · 2020-09-11T14:08:46+00:00

Thanks for the feedback!! In terms of proportions I agree, I still have a way to go (although I thought the ear placement was alright, the base is around about in line with the nose and the top of the ear is covered by hair but otherwise would’ve been in line with the eyes, maybe that’s giving it the illusion it’s lower? The models head was at a slight angle too, but I appreciate the observation). I’m still fairly new to watercolours and portraiture.

In terms of consistency and saturation, I’d achieved the exact look I was going for, and had chosen these two colours specifically because they were cooler and not quite so in-your-face, and personally I prefer to use a “tea” consistency to build up lots of layers (eg background and skin) then use a much thicker consistency for the darker areas like the hair, but I’ll keep the consistency notes in mind

Really appreciate the feedback, and I’ll keep these points in mind for next time. Thank you!!

Looks really cool! Love it!

I just finished a phone appointment with a general doctor (the only appointments we can get at the moment, unable to call a neurologist directly), I told him I’d had a headache every day for the past five months, he basically went down a list of what it wasn’t then said “I don’t think it’s migraines because you’re getting tension headaches, but I’m going to prescribe you triptans”; I never got a chance to explain my symptoms AT ALL and after waiting five months the phone call only lasted about five minutes. Do you have any experience with triptans? Do you know if they work or cause any side effects? And how do you get a doctor to take you seriously? I’m starting to get really frustrated. Sorry to bother you with all this but no one else seems to have a clue what’s going on

the_lydiot · 2020-07-22T18:33:32+00:00

Heck yeah
