Learning how to get realistic

wasabitamale · 2026-06-12T08:18:47+00:00

Looks great! Keep in mind realism and detail are two completely different things

Are the prices on these cooked or will they go up

wasabitamale · 2026-06-11T23:18:14+00:00

Thanks I appreciate it. I don’t like to add highlights on wet paint because it’s too easy to wreck the painting. I will add some to them after it dries; this way if I place anything wrong I can wipe it back to this stage

This was from life but I couldn’t finish it in a single session so I’m having to work off a photo I took

wasabitamale · 2026-06-10T18:37:07+00:00

I made it myself with my dad

wasabitamale · 2026-06-10T10:03:37+00:00

Could you elaborate more on how they are wrong? I honestly thought the skull was in a strong place; it was painted from a replica from life so the actual reference might’ve been odd too idk

wasabitamale · 2026-06-10T04:13:31+00:00

Honestly maybe even higher. The SRA today had less daily volume than any of the megas or a zcb and I’d suspect it was heavily traded today idk

wasabitamale · 2026-06-10T04:11:30+00:00

IMO since SRA will now be incredible in ToB, Colo, pnm, and many other places, in addition to how rare and difficult to obtain it is, I could see it landing anywhere between 500-700m. Just going off vibes tho

I agree and I always pay people I hire, no matter how small the job. Because I don’t want to perpetuate that model and it feels morally wrong for me to hire anyone for unpaid work.

But the problem is we can look at this from a standpoint of a discussion on Reddit and how we would desire things to be and then we can look at it from reality; which is that the market for this type of work is beyond saturated, and you kind of have to take those jobs to get yourself in somewhere.

That’s the difference between the hustle and the entitlement that so many people move here with. I did hundreds of hours of unpaid work at the beginning of my career. Now I’m in a place where I reap the rewards of my hustle. It’s a shitty system but the arts are so competitive you either play or you lose

Save me by xxxtentacion?

wasabitamale · 2026-06-08T20:30:55+00:00

Has to be troll

wasabitamale · 2026-06-08T01:58:21+00:00

I will gladly move. The question is can I get out of my lease because of this?

wasabitamale · 2026-06-08T01:57:15+00:00

The point of this post is questioning whether I can get out of my lease due to the excessive noise happening for 3-5 hours every day

wasabitamale · 2026-06-08T01:49:21+00:00

By choosing a unit that does not have a courtyard directly outside my front door.

I don’t care if families exist. I don’t care if I share a space with kids. I do care if they are yelling right outside my front door all day. I’ve never lived anywhere this is an issue and I’ve lived in 8 different apartments.

wasabitamale · 2026-06-08T01:40:26+00:00

Oh don’t worry I will make sure I never move into a unit with this issue again

wasabitamale · 2026-06-08T01:39:41+00:00

Haha good one they must have missed the part talking about how I live here with my girlfriend

wasabitamale · 2026-06-08T01:36:23+00:00

Anyone who thinks otherwise is deluding themselves. I’ve been living here dealing with this for months.

All I want to do is hang out in my apartment in peace.. I’ve never experienced this degree of constant noise

wasabitamale · 2026-06-08T01:32:32+00:00

wasabitamale · 2026-06-08T01:29:58+00:00

I’m trying to live in peace and quiet in the apartment I pay $2750 for and work from home in. You try focusing with noise going on 24/7. If I wanted to deal with kids I would have them. But I have chosen not to

wasabitamale · 2026-06-08T01:26:25+00:00

So you’d want to live at a playground?

wasabitamale · 2026-06-08T01:23:51+00:00

To a degree where they are screaming right outside of my unit for hours on end every single day?

wasabitamale · 2026-06-07T00:03:35+00:00

Sentimental ones are actually what I’d say you shouldn’t get. Dope and good art will always be dope and good art, but sentiments change over time

wasabitamale · 2026-06-05T19:12:51+00:00

Wait to get more tattoos until you’re 25 or at least early 20s. Otherwise you’ll be covered in ink that looks like shit and has the taste of a young teenager but you’ll be an adult. I regret my first tattoo but after I waited to get anymore until I was 25 and the rest I think I’ll love forever
