I just saw a video where vets were treating turtle's shell crack. And they did it almost the way Donnie healed Leo's crack (by sticking things on the shell and connecting them with metal wire)
Idk what I expected and now that I think of it, it makes sense. I mean, how else would you treat such wound?
So I wanted to ask: did you do some research while drawing that chapter? Maybe you searched how shell cracks heal or just guessed it?
Oh yeah. I did a little bit of research:)
I've seen that in fanfic authors most often decide to use a construction stapler or some sort of resin.
But in my story, it's the apocalypse. And those materials sound like something that's hard to find in an apocalypse. So I started looking at what's used to fix shells in real life and found this video:
Soldering stuff out of printed circuit boards is probably my favourite past time:
It's free (pcbs are trash otherwise)
I get stuff from it (electronic components)
It's easy and repeatable (i don't have to second guess my choices)
Every once in a while i find i pcb that is near impossible to solder stuff out of and in this moment i hate this hobby with all my guts (that's how you know it's good)
I was interested in learning guitar. I asked a couple friends of mine whether to pick up acoustic or electric, and both said to go for acoustic. I did extensive research on Google as well and most articles say that it doesn't really matter. The only con to electric guitar that I see is the pricing, but I'm hoping to go second hand, so that might fall in my budget if I save for a couple months. But I still wanna confer with someone experienced. If anyone's got any advice, please drop it.
What’s in your opinion, your view on non Han accessories such as Miao silver, Japanese silk flowers, and other accessories used while wearing and posting Hanfu online. I’ve seen it a lot personally when looking at Hanfu things on little red book, is it complexed than we think?
Personal opinion below:
Oh are they still popular on little red book? I thought they had gone out of fashion. The latest offense is Tibetan style.
The popularity of miao silver, Japanse silk flowers, Japanese hand fan etc, however, is often because those things are CHEAP. Cheap, easily found on taobao and looked good on screen. That is it. Most people wanted to stand out of the crowd but doesn't want to spent too much time, money and energy on it. And taobao sellers, to increase exposure, will include additional keywords regardless whether it is true or not. Again, many people will not spent the time to do good research, so people will be misled and think that they are authentic Han products.
Traditional Han accessories are expensive because they are often not factory made. For example Japanese lantern and Japanese mask are often used in China because Japan had ordered a lot of those products from China and the production lines have existed so it can be made cheaply and easily. But Chinese masks and lanterns? Often there are no factory lines available and they have to be hand made so they are rather expensive. (People will complain if they found the local organizers used them but often it is too late. Japanese building and vectors are also a common offense. Because those designers are often freely available online while Chinese stuff are often not digitized.)
The price does come down slightly nowadays as more people promote Han culture and there are factory products, such as chanhua, now they are available in packs of premake pieces and sellers can just put them together instead of rolling each leaves and petals themself.
In short, I think professionals (including designers, make up artist, influencers etc.) should avoid using those accessories (unless there is a good reason to use them) because it perpetuals the wrong image, but random people~ eh whatever. People can buy imported stuff as international trade has always been a thing. People can also include anything that is meaningful to them, either to speak of their heritage or as a memento.
