It wasn’t a sabbatical, but it was a little vacation. Went down to Tijuana to meet this girl. It was really wonderful. It helped my mood. But also i feel like I’m going to love to have her in my life forever.

Serious complaining and recreational complaining are very different activities and they’re barely related to each other.
Serious complaining can mean “this upsets me, I want it to change” or “this upsets me, and I just want to get it off my chest and be heard” or simply “I am frustrated and want to vent until I feel better”.
Recreational complaining is fun social bonding and it doesn’t have to mean anything or result in change. It’s not the same as negativity because the purpose isn’t to make you or anyone else feel worse. It’s enjoyable in the way that snarking at bad movies with your friends is enjoyable. Social grooming without the fleas.
Some people run on a completely different interpersonal operating system. This isn’t a good or a bad thing, but when your social OS regards all complaints as Urgent Sincere Demands For Change, you’re going to have a hell of a lot of misunderstandings and come away with a really skewed perception of people who complain recreationally as far more negative and hateful and polarized than they actually are.
Misunderstandings are normal and can be improved with communication, but good fuck, there’s a certain... subset of the population that acts like ever daring to complain about something that isn’t grievous bodily injury is a mortal sin. A vile and disgusting failure of personality.
If I say “I hate that it’s so hard to find pants that fit me and also have useful pockets” I am probably expecting you to return with a lighthearted “Yeah, do the designers think all we want out of pockets is the privilege of carrying a single packet of soy sauce pressed tightly against each butt cheek?”
If instead you link me to instructions on DIY pocket extensions... that’s sweet of you. I wasn’t soliciting you for solutions—just playful camaraderie—but it’s still kind of you to want to help. A little awkwardness never hurt anybody.
But if you launch into a lecture about how I’m a lazy, ungrateful, victimized bitch and a wellspring of toxic negative energies because I dared to open my mouth instead of... changing my career and becoming a clothing designer and ushering in a golden age of pocket functionality. Like, I’m sorry dude, you can’t just say “good vibes only” and pronounce yourself a Positive Person and also be an insufferable self-righteous shitstain.
Anyway, I understand disliking recreational complaining. I find incessant complaints extremely annoying when they’re coming from people I dislike (like unpleasant coworkers). But kvetching and ~toxic negatively~ just. Aren’t the same thing.

When are we going to start teaching kids that it’s okay to disagree with adults? That it’s okay to demand respect from them and that them being younger doesn’t mean they deserve to get treated like shit just because adults are “always right”? When are we gonna start doing that?
yes, but i gotta add:: when are we going to start telling adults that kids should be allowed to disagree with them? when are we going to teach adults that a kid disagreeing with them isn’t disrespect? when are we going to tell them that adults gotta apologize to kids when they make a mistake? when are we gonna tell them that kids should be treated with respect, despite the young age? when are we going to tell them that there’s no problem if kids start questioning adults & that they should do so?
Good addition, reblog this instead guys

Having troubles with facial angles in your drawing style?
Try a 3D sculpture of your art in your own style in a free program that is simple and very easy to use.
The program is called Sculptris and is a free off-shoot program from Zbrush, that program that you keep hearing about but either takes selling your kidneys or piracy to actually use.
If you download it and sculpt out a facial model, you can have references for your own work for all of time. No more endlessly searching Google for reference materials or twisting/rotating/flipping a drawing to see if there are flaws. And you can easily edit it to create more facial types. This way, you can make character references for any and every face and facial angle that you can think of.
The program offers mirroring right from the start, so your faces will be perfectly symmetrical. You can turn off the symmetry for things like scars or otherwise.
It takes a little time. For instance, I downloaded the program on Christmas and, in my spare time, this took a few days of getting familiar with the program (first day) and then sculpting for a few minutes each day, mostly due to my perfectionist nature. And this one isn’t even done. I still have to mold the mouth, ears, and other smaller aspects before I consider it done. However, I was so giddy over the possibilities that I wanted to share this with my fellow artists.
From now on, I have reference for a face in my own style and will be able to create things so much easier in the future. I hope that this helps you guys and that you have fun with it.
I absolutely recommend Sculptris!
UH
GUYS????
This really useful oh my goodness. It takes a little figuring out, but once you get the hang of it it’s actually pretty easy. Just watch a couple youtube videos. Seeing how other people do it helps you to make sense of it.
OH BOY LOOK AT THIS HANDSOME SILLY do you know how hard his stupid face is to figure out at different angles? DO YOU??? Now I have a 3D ref!!! AAAHH!! so excite much 3d wow very angles wow
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: sculptris is an amazing 3D modeling tool for how small it is and is a great place to start whether you just want drawing references for your characters or you actually want to get into 3D modeling.
I highly recommend it.
Romeo + Juliet (1996) truly has everything…heavy religious imagery…young leo…90s fashion…a brief drag scene….neon lights…those iconic angel wings
guns labeled “sword”
being better than anything shakespeare ever produced
i dislike the implication that shakespeare wouldn’t have done the exact same thing if he were alive in the 90′s
Fun fact, the guns being labelled “sword” is not just them being Extra™.
Most of the guns being used by the main characters are modified Taurus PT99 pistols, the different types of which are often named after specific types of knives and swords, thus enabling them to not have to change the Shakespearean dialogue, but to also manage that specific visual pun.
So Shakespeare would have absolutely been 100% all over that shit.
For example, Tybalt’s gun is a modified 9mm “Rapier” (from the Taurus PT99 Series ‘R’) and is actually one of my favorite visual aesthetics of quite probably any weapon in movie history to date.
While everyone else seems to be using a much more heavier and “powerful” version of pistol, his is sleek and light in frame, making it much easier for him to fight the way that he does. Which is undoubtedly Extra™ in comparison to everyone else, but also intended to mimic the dueling stance of actual rapier swordsmen of the time who relied on speed rather than brute force. They were Gentlemen after all. If you were going to cut someone down you ought to do it with some finesse.
If you look closely at his hand you’ll notice that with the exception of his middle finger on the trigger, he’s actually holding it the way one would a sword hilt. He’s also got the poise of a honed duelist.
This is someone who has been brought up with a very strong sense of Family Honor, and is expected to fight to defend it, but not as a common foot soldier (who carry “longswords” which are modified shotguns in the film), but as a Gentleman.
A gentleman who suddenly finds himself having to fight in the streets with people carrying “daggers”.
Like Mercutio’s modified pistol, which while beautiful and (importantly thematic) transparent in its function, is also heavy and cumbersome in comparison to Tybalt’s rapier, which also has a much further range, something he also makes better use of with the addition of a quick release mount for a c-scope, which allows him to either be slow and accurate, or to forgo accuracy for speed during say, a one on one duel vs a street brawl.
Which means even if he can’t make as many quickfire short range movements as Mercutio can, he’s still going to fucking obliterate him with the practiced ease of someone who has been training for duels their entire life.
Not to mention just how fucking ornate this thing is. Look at it. What an extra little sob, I love it. I love the whole movie. It’s an excellent adaptation and I’ll bite my thumb at anyone who says otherwise.
Just like the Bard intended.
