Trying to get back to creative work instead of just replication. This is my first attempt with my new skills, it's not bad but there are things I'm very much not happy with like her left hand for example. But I'm done struggling with it and ready to move on.
This is easily the hardest portrait I've painted yet. His makeup was almost impossible. I'm glad I took on the challenge. To be fair I didn't think it would be hard, I was just thinking about how much I love the movie.
My unpopular opinion: I like Bane from the third movie a bit better. Tom did so much with his eyebrows!
My Dad passed away earlier this year from cancer.
The reference photo was taken when my brothers and I took him to DC for his 70th birthday. It was an amazing trip with a lot of laughs and good times.
Unfortunately he didn't make it to his 80th birthday trip.
It was cathartic painting this. I miss you Dad!
Iconic scene in a great end to a plethora of movies and a great character arc. I read these comics as a kid and always wanted to see them on the big screen. Up through End Game they did not disappoint.
Daniel Ricardo is my favorite F1 racer! He doesn't have a seat this year and may never again, but he's still my favorite. Such a neat dude!
I'm also trying to find "my style", they've all been pretty much just a replication of the source material. This is a shot at it.
My wife LOVES LOVES LOVES Tommy Boy, I painted this for her and she loves it too!
What's your favorite quote from Tommy Boy? Is it "Brothers don't shake hands, brothers gotta hug?" Cuz that's mine! But only said with Chris Farley's inflection and when nobody expects it!
Almost as fast as Milla Jovovich can say multipass!
I'm particularly proud of this one. Also my favorite character in Game of Thrones.
I've had my fill of family, now I'm going to select portraits of different famous people I like and see if I can paint them
I don't even make the chart? CIS father of a trans kid trying to make the trans kid laugh when they try to get my attention at the store by saying "Dad!"
QuACk! qUAcK!
Don't be fooled by randomness. Randomness comes in clumps. For example if you flipped a thousand coins every day for a year and measured how each one predicted the stock market, heads for up, tails for down, at the end of the year you'll likely have one coin that far out performs the average. But would you use that coin to determine your investment strategy the next year?
And yeah Boeing is now killing people outside of their planes.
Anyone start a pool on when the first news story of abusing this tech will happen? Because I want in lol.
Traffic (the book) says most Americans merge into traffic wrong when lanes reduce (from say 3 lanes to 2 lanes for example.)
The right way is waiting until you are at the very end of the lane that's reducing. When that happens up to 60% more cars per hour get through the bottle neck in heavy traffic and accidents resulting in killed or serious injury are reduced by up to 80%.
Bottom line having multiple entry points in a queue with multiple slow down points due to the multiple entry points is the cause of the reduced performance with the way most Americans do it.
Pretty sure that's the lens flares.
Last year it took 6 months to get water to stop leaking in my office, so yeah I'm just excited the note is charming...
Fuck, this is my kid...
Between War Thunder and Eve Online I have no idea which game I've never played has given me more entertainment? This is fantastic!
I'm nostalgic for the day when Google was the good company. A few years before "alphabet" you could see the change coming and since "alphabet" they are worse every year.
Started Uncle Sam Sam about an hour ago! 🔥🔥🔥
