I hear you, took me a long time to realize which ones are worth spending money on.

Shoes, toilet paper, tires, underwear, etc!

 

Love this comparison, someone I've wondered off and on about. Yes tires are a big deal! Don't cheap out on them.

 

Turns out adding a little sex appeal to my art is the way to get a wider audience. Am I going it right? 🤣

 

Mess up the colors? Make it an artistic black and white!...?

BC (before children) I used to draw serious comic book characters exclusively. As my kids got older I started with the other style as they loved watching me draw and I wanted to draw something more to their tastes.

I saw an artist on DeviantArt who was so good I had to try something like it.

New brakes! (lemmy.world)

I know, not exciting to everyone but I'm tickled pink! I needed new rotors anyway, and this set was only a few hundred more than stock brakes.

As suggested already using manifolds with overflow smart splitters is the way I did it when I built a 10 heavy frame factory. The only place that hurt my brain was when I needed to split reinforced plate to 25 end points and there wasn't enough volume for a manifold to work so I needed balancers and a 5 way balancer broke my brain. Doc in YouTube had the answer which is split into two, then split those two into three and feed one of the six end points into a merger before the split into two. Then the five remaining end points get the same treatment and you end up with 25 end points for heavy plate.

Good luck!

Yeah it was exciting... But we watch The Boys and Invincible together and so on. My kid knows when something is too much for them and to tap out.

We watched episode 1...!?

And my youngest is 19. I'm old.

 

My youngest and I are in episode 4 and we're already hooked! I've been listening to the theme song all day today at work. BANANAS!!!

Amazing compliment! Thank you. I'm humbled to hear that.

And maybe one day that'll happen, when I retire or something?

In my youth. I just to do flip books and do on and had a digital Etch-A-Sketch that animated a few dozen frames I played with for years.

I'm thinking of doing a book for young children since my granddaughter was born earlier this year. I have an outline sketched out, contemplating doing that.

Love the compliment, and a great flick! I need to watch it again.

Simple, peaceful, elegant. I love it!

 

It's been a while since I've drawn a nose, so I thought I'd give it a go.

Thank you so much! I really love how it turned out. I loved the picture when we took it too so I'm a bit biased. My favorite spot in Yellowstone, even over the geysers.

 

Still working on backgrounds, below is the reference image. Critiques? I tried to add the comic style lines to the background and didn't like it at all so I left it like this.... Thoughts m

 

Still working on background. Critiques? I feel like I over did it with the line work...

As for the work of art:

With a fierce yell, he charges forward, gripping the battered axe as blaster fire scorches the air around him. He knows he won’t survive, but with each step, he feels the weight of his fallen friends at his back—this last stand is not for victory, but for vengeance, a final tribute in blood and fire.
