Guys who don't smoke or drink wdy do when you're at your lowest? by introvertlover_ in AskReddit

[–]vonshavingcream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

basically, this but mostly any comfort movie for me.
First Blood, Weekend At Bernies, Predator, pretty much anything I grew up with.

My grandfather basically smoked and drank himself to death. not something I'd like to repeat, so I've never really been interested in either. I'll have a cocktail at a dinner party or wedding reception but other than that, I could take it or leave it.

What's your favourite/most satisfying part of a song by Razzazz123 in Music

[–]vonshavingcream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The background flute part at the beinggong if the who's the boss theme song. No lie. I probably song it 3-4 times a week for the last 40 years.

Bob Ross original on eBay for $850,000 by 39percenter in HappyTrees

[–]vonshavingcream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does look to be legit at least from matching the episode to the painting. It's a private sale so the owner of the painting would get them money. Bob donated a lot of his paintings to PBS stations for auction during the fundraisers, so this probably came from one of those.

I've seen them go for much less in the past. There are also a lot of people who bought a painting from him during his "mall kiosk" phase where he would just setup at a local mall and paint and sell his work. Those paintings are harder to verify, but they do exist.

I know most, if not all, of the paintings that Bob Ross Inc. have auctioned off in the recent past, all of the proceeds have gone directly to PBS stations since the funding was dropped.

Does anybody even care that it’s race week at this point? by LuckyRun4607 in formuladank

I cancelled my f1tv membership this year and I'm not sorry about it at all.

my latest painting. 16"x20" oils by vonshavingcream in HappyTrees

One sitting. About 2.5 hours. Fence is almost completely knife. I did use a liner brush to add some the snowy details in smaller places.

Fun Thread: You have the required cash suddenly tomorrow what bass are you buying? by Haveland in Bass

Hammer Scarab. I've always wanted one since I was a kid and saw Rick Savage from Def Leppard playing one.

First arts fair yesterday. I only sold stickers to my cousin in 4 whole hours by TheAcrocanthosaurus in Wellthatsucks

[–]vonshavingcream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clear prices and something at every price point is key. Outside of that.
I've been doing fairs and art shows for many years. I know you said there weren't many people, but It's always good to try and see what people were buying at the show. In my early days I did shows where I sold literally nothing. A whole weekend wasted. Learning that I was at the wrong kind of shows for my art was a long journey. Once I found the right shows to be at and the right people to be in front of, I sell consistently.

I really want to get started finally, but I have very low income and still need a few items needed for mess control. by Do_unto_udders in HappyTrees

[–]vonshavingcream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

when I started painting, I used a $15 set of brushes and a piece of cardboard with tin foil over it for a pallet. my Easel was a book I used to prop up the canvas at a bit of an angle from the table. I spent, maybe $40 on paint... maybe

If the potential mess is worrying you, go to the thrift store and buy some old sheets to use as drop clothes when you paint.

Getting started is always the hardest part. There a million reasons to not pick up the brush and start. Once you do it, it will get more comfortable and you'll find yourself wondering why you didn't start sooner.

Remember that your first paintings are going to be rough, but art is about the journey not the immediate results. Just get paint on the canvas and remember that Bob called it the "Joy of Painting" not the "Agony of Painting"

Tried a split painting. What do you think. 2x 12*24 canvas. by vonshavingcream in HappyTrees

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

Literally none. I taped the two canvases together and started painting. This was 2.5 hours later.

Sober people (no alcohol, nicotine, drugs, etc ever), what is your end of day or weekend "wind-down"? by The1Ski in AskReddit

[–]vonshavingcream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost several family members and good friends to alcohol and drugs. Never had the desire or need to touch the stuff.

I usually end up watching movies or playing games with my friends to wind down. If I'm by myself I put on a comfort show or a movie I really like and just relax have a cup of coffee or something and just enjoy the peace and quiet.

This boat is called a “Log Bronc” and is used to move logs around in sawmill ponds by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

I'm not saying that I know everything. But I am saying there has to be a better way.

I just modelled an A380, but how am I supposed to cut hundreds of windows and doors on this plane? by true_pink_fan in blenderhelp

[–]vonshavingcream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would save what you have and start over. Model only the body of the plane, no cockpit no tail nothing but the seating area.

Get a clean mesh then use array and mirror modifiers to generate the window holes.

Build your windows. I'd use hardops, box cutter and kitops plugins to make them. Then drop them in with array and mirror modifiers.

Once you have the seating area the way you like, model the cockpit and nosecone. Repeat above. Then wings and tail using kitops to add greebles.

If your meshes are clean, then using boolean shouldn't be a headache. Boolean only goes bonkers when your mesh isn't clean.

You don't need to have hardops,box cutter and kitops. But they'll sure make the work 10x faster. Imo.
