It’s funny to me how a single gesture of humility like merely accepting baldness without the most horrendous possible form of fragile denial combover makes him look 100x less weird

I have to admit, for this I did use a reference. I’m trying to run before I can walk, and I’m afraid any drawings from life would disappoint. If that doesn’t deter you, feel free to send me any poses you’d like me to (perhaps badly) work from.

Totally wasted on me, but thanks for the offer! I’m still learning fundamentals like construction and shading, I don’t need to be taking up anyone’s time. 😅

Cheers, I’m not sure if it’s ‘my style’ as such but I’m working it out as I go. I like the exaggeration and softness of the look, but the notepad app is really narrow in what it can comfortably do.

I might wait a year, based on what I’m hearing. He’s already got a weird sense of humour compared to kids his age, I should probably cool it.

Yeah? Admittedly I’m calibrated to the 80s version of what “PG-13” meant. What was the most risque bit? Mine is pretty comfortable with non sexual nudity and rude humour, but anything sexually explicit he’s probably not ready.

Ooh how exciting.

I’m tempted, but I’d want to share in the fun with my kid. Anyone who’s played it, What’s the youngest you’d recommend?

Thanks, I will take that onboard for positioning it on the ereader cover. I’ve been looking at it so long now that I’m becoming numb to its ugly aspects, but it definitely hits different depending on the angle.

All you have to do is squint your eyes. Until they’re closed. And then imagine a frog.

That makes sense. If there are plants above, consider framing a bit of them in for the final version, or change the web layout to match what’s there. Spiders make do with all sorts of wonky areas, after all!

Again, I really love what you’re doing here, I hope you’ll post more.

I love the idea of using negative space this way. It would be amazing if you could add more dimensionality to the background, increase the sense of perspective being the negative space so that the foreground objects create a sense of nearness.

Also, what is the web is attached to? What are the anchor points above? It’s unclear if the web is in a window or attached to plants in the garden.

Death Spiral Financing is one of those things that should be shouted from the rooftops by anyone who wants to spread anti capitalism. It so cleanly displays the evil inherent to the system.

You can’t trust the reviews, it’s true. But also, it’s very much a buyers market with games in general right now. The headline issue is only a problem if you take the side of AAA studios who have to compete with passion-driven indie projects that aren’t just out to make a buck.

I’m going to spend how much to play a game with an obligatory launcher after I already opened steam? And it’s badly optimised? 100gb you say? And I have to see ads for skins? And that’s competing with a game less than half the price that’s amazing, 3gb, no ads, and it can run on a decade old computer?

This is a big-budget problem. They made their omelette, and now they’ve got to sleep in it.

You too huh? Yeah me and the Mrs are very self contained, but kiddo needs social interaction like Johnny #5 needs books. It’s maddening.

Annual operating income this year $1.5 billion.

I saw the episode of Dark Tourism where they go to Turkmenistan. It seems like quite a grim and sheltered country. I wouldn’t have thought they sent anyone abroad for education, are you expected to return with certain skills?

It’s almost expensive not to, when the only people with any real dough are your oligarch buddies

What happened to that 2,000 tonnes of gold they had socked away?

It is all artificial, isn’t it?
