  • I think getting semantic here is a trap, it’s still serving the purpose of casting doubt on the system. Great most days, but when an election is looming this is wrecker shit.

    Think the usual ‘Democrats are terrible too’ schtick doesn’t actually work well on Lemmy broadly but now we’re going to see things like this where people will start picking apart the words of the text and claiming it isn’t what it is.

    We’re all, mostly, at least a good decent number of us, adults who have seen all this shit before. Yes they said liberals, liberals are centerist poo-poo-ers who want their status quo and don’t want to be associated with bad press but not much else, fuck em. But also, Capitalism isn’t going to be fixed any time soon, in the meantime, however, one party plays host to at least some number of people trying to actually improve the lives of their constituency and for fucks sake you can’t tell me they’re just as bad as the partyconsisting exclusively of people openly looting and pillaging the entirety of the nation for personal gain and bald faced cruelty.

    Just downvote OP and keep an eye out for people trying to bait.




  • That’s true, I’m amazed by what people are able to do with custom brushes but depending on your art app you can start with drag weight and opacity, and in some cases even textures and that was always a fun start if nothing else.

    It was a little bit of a block for me but custom brushes seemed to be the next major step in digital painting.


  • Oh, it’s digital, I didn’t register that at first so that’s something. I like the composition and it doesn’t feel repititious or forced so you got a good result from the tedious bits.

    If you have the physical means, unironically follow along with a Bob Ross video. You don’t have to crib the entirety of his techniques but it’s an incredible exercise in what kinds of strokes and adjustments can create some wild illusions of details that don’t make sense until you stop and go ‘what the fuck how did that haplen’

    If not I would still try and study how painters work on things like grass and the like. Taking a lot of time on details isn’t bad, until you get tendonitis and hate grass forever. It’s okay to take shortcuts in appropriate contexts.
