You mean it's gone this far without a name? That's so sad. Let's call it Jeff.

Thank you, trying to get there. And this is helpful and justifying.

Tomorrow I go to paint from a live model for the first time. I'm excited and nervous. But unlike most of my paintings I'll use a tablet connected to a PC instead of my phone.

I have a grandchild... So maybe I'm out of time ๐Ÿ˜‚.

I'd love to hear about your workflow process, brushes you use, and so on.

I had to double check what sub I was in. Looks amazing! Nice work.

My son has a WW2 gas mask, I should try that next time without warning. Wonder what my wife would say?

Putting them in the fridge for a few hours or more before chopping (overnight is best) also works.

I know, I'm not funny. But maybe someone will find this helpful.

Big Shoes (lemmy.world)

Just a doodle, I like the big shoes for some reason so I thought I'd share it.

 

It was suggested to cross post this here. Not nearly as good as the spider mech in the movie, but it's where I got the inspiration from.

The title song from the movie is still on my play list!

Loved the show, this is my interpretation of the spider mech in the third act. Not as cool as the one from the show, but the closest I've ever gotten in my style.

Fork in the road... (lemmy.world)
submitted 3 months ago by BallShapedMan to c/artshare
 

Sometimes the fork in the road is of our own making, voluntarily or not.

 
 

In my youth I had a 2nd Gen Eclipse and I loved it! It got me more than a few dates. I always wanted more from Mitsubishi and planned to buy whatever their fastest car was as I got older and had money. Sadly the company fell apart (in my opinion), but watching this reminded me of what I loved about their products back in the day!

That Lancer!! Wow.
