damn what? I don't know where this came from. look all the comics I put on g*mr**d a year ago are back here again with all the formatting and typesetting by @fireflysummers as well as the exclusive bonus art wtf who did this. my werewolf comic on here too what the hells!! that one also got re-toned for printing if u want to AND an exclusive cover spread !!! what the fuck!!!!! come see for urself I can't make this shit up
I have an issue that I have a very strong attachment to my main brush that works really well for silly doodles and comics ect, but is absolutely horrible for detail work that requires smooth shading 😭
I have to use another brush for it! but when I do, it's just not the same! I'm always dissatisfied with whatever brush I try to use!
so 1st dog, the tri, was the 2023 best of breed at crufts
2nd dog, sable, was the 2022 best of breed at crufts
3rd dog, dark sable, was the 2022 best of breed at the national dog show (US)
so - i do like the 2023 pick much more than the 2022 pick. 2022 dog had a super extreme/overdone coat, just a ton of bulk. some of that can be attributed to the fact that he's a male while the 2023 collie is female, but a lot of it is just what they bred for. as the 22 dog was doing his lap the commentators stating how the coat should be weatherproof and shouldn't obscure the outline of the dog at all, which was like... are you purposefully saying this for the dissonance or are you implying that this is true. ick.
i put the 3rd dog in there as an example of the difference between american and british types. part of it is grooming - american dogs will be very thoroughly bathed and brushed out, while british dogs are supposed to look more natural (which also leads to breeding for loads and loads of coat to achieve volume, whereas american dogs just get backbrushed for the same effect). just look at the difference in the mass of the hair on the rear legs! but i think you can also very clearly see the difference in the faces as well, especially between the two sable dogs! british dogs have a shorter muzzle, more pronounced stop, higher forehead, and much more slanted, fox-like eyes. american dogs have a longer and more wedge-shaped head with small, almond-shaped eyes. they also tend to be a bit larger.
anyway, i liked this years crufts girl, not anything super unique though. i mostly just hope the OES doesnt win bc i hate wet shaggy dog faces.
also fci=/=tkc and while tkc is square and conservative in many ways, fci member clubs may be less. so when commenters say things like smooth and rough collies used to be interbred but aren't anymore, this is true for the UK but not necessarily for neighbouring clubs - which deals with the same stock.
i had a dream last night where i was trying to put together a piece for an art final in one afternoon (because apparently i was taking an art class? i kept having lucid moments of hey i’m not even taking a real art class but i was content to still do the project) and actually i remember very clearly what i was planning and i have all the stuff for it i think i should recreate the dream art final piece
Sanding progress going well :) I tried moving my dremel up and down at the smallest point and kind of carving away at the side and that helped a lot! I'm trying to keep the smaller clay bits but the bigger ones don't fit my vision so lol
i think the reason i’m not too big a fan of vash’s design for 2023 is that they literally changed his silhouette from triangular to round!
i drew a little comparison, i literally copy-pasted vashe’s face for the most part, and he nearly looks like a new guy!... or maybe it’s my faceblindness.
