Me too! I was drafting a comment in my head as I looked at the work in progress photos in the link about how I had no idea oil took that long to dry.

OP thank you for creating this and sharing the process and a bit of info on oil painting dry times. I was fascinated from start to finish.

Lovely painting, that person looks like they are very kind and welcoming. But I might be putting som bias on relating them to someone I might recognize I don’t know what you were going for.

May I ask the details of the commission you were provided, was it a photo you worked from?

I don’t see how anyone who already isn’t appalled by the genocide, is going to start to care because an American with a “brown” sounding name is also killed.

I don’t care any more than I already do which is I think all of it, whatever care is I have all of it for Palestine or any other oppressed peoples.

I’m editing to add: I really hate that I used the term brown sounding name because it feels icky and racist but it’s what I’ve come to expect from my less kind countrymen.

Thank you so much for this estimation. I don’t even care about the “about” part of it. I wanted a rough estimation and you provided.

Isn’t the antichrist suppose to be hot as fuck?

Or is that just Lucifer and the apple fell a bit far from the tree?

I would like that convention.

Anytime my partner and any friend of hers hang out or walk into or out of an area. I would remark on the sudden occurrence of a BBC.

Bad Bitch Convention.

I get some laughs but it makes her laugh or smile.

She appears to be a stocky person in boxy looking clothing. It might be influencing the perspective.

Yes I can see some really altruistic uses for these but they’re outweighed by the malicious ones.

Like RING cameras and the other brands, would be super cool to help locate lost children and elderly but bad people are going to use them for fascism.

I never snorted it and I didn’t look for it for fun but if I was out of crystal meth it made me feel better and pretty good.

I’m in recovery now thankfully, don’t do meth kids. Unless you like turning all your bad feelings into good feelings.

Let’s see Gracie’s Corner.

Am I Gracie the person, child star and education advocate/entertainer and NAACP award winner, or am I simply a little girl.

The real Tragic Tim was his son, Tragic Tim Jr., who sets out to avenge his father even though he had squandered the family’s last coins to pursue a life of adventure.

I agree. That’s not an ugly kitten by any means. Some people call my pet ugly cute but majority think cute. This is a regular kitten with a caption used to drive engagement.

My pop use to work for I think it was a freight shipping company, but the company took out a sponsorship for a team, for bravado points I imagine, and of course to schmooze with other people that like to waste money. We got tickets sometimes.

Anyways, what a gloriously ridiculous machine. It’s so stupid and so powerful, but that team looked like passionate experts living out their dreams. I’m happy for them. Looks like dwarves doing cool dwarf shit.

Also yea, waste of resources, does not seem like a feasible thing to be doing in a finite world.

I read about the Nanjing Massacre a.k.a. the Rape of Nanjing.

I don’t need to learn any more of Imperial Japan’s brutal inhumanity.

My imagination is sufficient, and I’m trying to quiet it down. There is nothing there for me.

My out of my butt possible explanation to the chain is to preserve the strength of grip because if you’ve ever hit something really hard with a solid object like a bat against another like a pole or rock, or even a bad contact with a baseball the vibrations from the impact can be painful and reduce your strength, sometimes causing you to drop the bat. Dudes might’ve had some thick gloves though to probably stop that though.

Also another butt idea, it may also preserve the condition of shaft overall because it wouldn’t be experiencing a lot of impact pressure either, only from blocking I guess and the general wear and tear of the attachment of the chain to shaft thing and the tug of swinging that bitch around.

I could also see it as an over the shield lever point where the shaft strikes the top of your opponent’s guard and the ball and chain fall down upon them.

Thanks for coming to my butt talk.

(I edited a spelling mistake. If anyone cares about edit stuff.)

I never minded carrying the lantern as long as I got to adventure with my friends. We still took turns though.

Wow that looks like a wildly beautiful and utterly tragic movie. I can’t wait to watch it and feel great and terrible things.

lol yup that’s a strategy of mine. My inebriated alters are almost always my regular name or username just with the letter J as the first letter.

Once in high cool I was assigned a group with my buddies John, Justin, and James. We came up with the idea to be the J team so from then on in that class I signed all my papers as my J name and went by it as well.

Maybe contributing to it but I’d wager humans have been trying to get close to animals and the result being terrible dating back to the dawn of time.

Yea mismo. The entendres are thick and open to much interpretation in how they relate.

Yup. This is not immunity, it is lawlessness.
