I used a bright white base coat with heavy application of a black wash, letting it pool to the edges of the robes. Then I went in with the Black 4.0 under the robes and inside the hood. Most visible on the back, I also used it for those branching “crack” like details. The base is also Black 4.0, but I took the picture under a REALLY bright light (and in the first image you can see the spots where I was too impatient to wait for the base to fully dry lol.) Under regular lighting the black is incredibly flat and the underside of the robes really does disappear.

The lanterns are painted silver with a black wash. For the glowing part of the lantern, I started with a bright white base, then layered the blue glow in the dark pigment, then a clear gloss over it.

I loved working on that piece, even though I often felt like screaming trying to get the right angles to paint one part and not fuck up something else lol.

It’s The Watcher from Kingdom Death Monster.

Unfortunately I haven’t used any image hosting sites in years, so I did this quick. I’m open to recommendations!

If the story is true, Anish Kapoor got his hands on some and dipped his finger in the pink, flipping off Stuart.

In response, Stuart released a glitter made of shards of glass. Lol

I bought some lol. It’s a truly pretty, perfect pink.

I’ve made an unspeakable number of purchases from Culture Hustle over the last couple years for a variety of pigments and specialty paints (like Black 4.0 and glow in the dark and UV reactive pigments.) I paint board game minis for fun lol.

Well, if it can happen to anybody then it can happen to them, and that’s scary.

But if you can blame choices, then they just never make that choice and live safely in their judgemental bubbles, because it’ll never happen to them.

This thinking also “protects” from a multitude of other terrible (potential) life events.

I would assume it’s acting out the way he claims the murder happened and see if it matches the evidence. From the article it sounds like there were inconsistencies.

Look closer - it’s AI.

That’s not too say I haven’t seen some awkward developments (prefab, 55 and over community) where they obviously leveled everything, built, then added back all young trees. Decades later it’s still obvious.

Scrolling during an in person meeting. My God this one tested me 🤣.

But did you finish?

Bonus points - she throws some left leaning Democrat “friendly” under the bus at the same time, creating a bigger distraction. “Trump did nothing wrong, but take a look at what THIS guy did over here…”

Don’t get me wrong, all the guilty in this mess need to burn. All of them. Whoever they are or wherever they’re from, it doesn’t matter. But I can absolutely see them cherry picking the right flavor of guilty person to take the heat off of Trump for the time being.

You mean like during the COVID lockdown? It was amazing. I wish people learned more lessons from that time.

I work in hospice, traveling to patients homes. I’d be more than happy to work from home, but the logistics of getting dying bed ridden people to travel to me has been tricky.

Your heart pushes water and nutrients out to the extremities and then the lymph system returns excess water and waste so that the liver and kidneys can filter it while making the cycle again. When circulation is poor or the heart is weak or other complications, the body has a hard time returning some of that fluid back into circulation to where the body can get rid of it naturally. This is the result. It can just sit there leading to skin breakdown, or even infection.

Where I find this behavior most infuriating is on walking/biking trails in the forest preserve. Like, seriously!?! I get the desire to listen to something while exercising or just having your “you” time, but when you’re riding a bike that cost thousands, you can probably afford some bone conductors or at least ear buds that offer a hear through option. Hell, the expensive units refurbished on eBay get pretty damn cheap.

Congrats! I fucking gagged.

I wonder if he applies his foundation with his hamberder bun, then eats it?

It can be both. Spray tan can wash off unevenly if you bathe, so make up evens out the finish.

Not that I’m assuming he showers that much, but I imagine he at least wipes the grease away from his mouth on occasion.

Cancer is a good one for weight loss too.

Never comment on someone’s weight unless you 1) know them personally and they’ve shared their goals with you, and 2) see them achieving those goals and you know they’d appreciate the support. Otherwise it’s fine just to mind your own business and not say a damn thing, because maybe you just don’t know.

Having volunteered at a church’s food distribution for over 25 years, I can say that some food banks are pretty special with how they do things. We purchase food from a large food bank for distribution once a month. If the food bank has a lot of produce or something they haven’t been able to move, sometimes they’ll throw a pallet or two extra on the trailer when we pick it up, so that they can get rid of it. When we get the trailer, sometimes it’s just a surprise what we end up with.

In general, we have some people that come that have extended families or neighbors that they give some of the surplus to. Then there’s the church that were hosted at. There’s some things that they’re able to keep for the next day to offer to the parishioners. Beyond that, there’s the occasional phone call to other churches to see if anybody could use it. In the end, the pastor knows a pig farmer where if we have a surplus of a surplus, some stuff will go to.

You can freeze them if you plan on cooking with them. I ended up with an obscene amount of tomatoes one year that were amazingly tasty and I was so sad that I couldn’t process them before they went bad. My aunt told me to freeze them - it was perfect! They also make for great weapons when frozen, and when you thaw them the skins come right off!

What if you’re the jetpack but your partner is gassy? Damn lactose intolerance.
