i believe you have lost your shrimps because you have insisted they are things other than shrimps. they are off to live their own lives free from your oppression.
Tried for a twist on the classic art history trope of the bather :)
wow this is SO GOOD
I thought this was Aveline at first
I’ve never heard anything scream “I don’t know what fat women’s bodies look like” louder than this
Her ribs are literally still showing through her fat and skin somehow
She has skinny girl breasts and nipples angled upwards
The bottom of her stomach is somehow defying gravity and angled upwards as well instead of sagging above her crotch
Probably because it’s a painting of a stocky, muscular woman, not a “fat” one.
Those are serratus muscles, not ribs. You can see them because she’s stretching her body up, the skin on the front is pulled tight while the fleshy masses in the back bunch up (if she was bending forward it would be the opposite, with folds on the stomach and back muscles pulled tight)
The breasts are fine, that’s a pretty common look when someone has average sized breasts hanging from muscular pectorals. Nipples angle upwards sometimes, especially when people raise their arms, and not all heavyset women have large breasts.
the bottom of her stomach is a little more planar than you’d typically expect to see with this kind of rendering, but again, she’s thick and muscular, the mass of her abdomen is pulled up with the pose and doesn’t have “sagging” fat. Even on heavyset women who AREN’T muscular, that look of fat sagging on the lower abdomen is not ubiquitous. What you’re describing is a very specific type of body as though it’s the only way fat deposits build on heavier set female-assigned bodies.
Naruto: *starts a running sequence in the forest*
Me: OOO they’re about to explain something i could not infer with my own intelligence lets pay close attention
Kakashi, between 20 second long leaps from one branch to the next: *goes over their mission in painful detail*
Naruto, also defying gravity: What-? I dont understand ttebayo! What does that mean????
Sakura, suddenly getting serious: *explains what Kakashi just said only with more emotional depth*
Naruto, finally touching down on a branch: *frowns off into the distance* Sasuke….
I recently shared a sweet post from the mother of a fan who got to meet me through make-a-wish foundation.
Make-a-wish is a wonderful charity and I’ve done a few of these before, but I never share them because I don’t want people to think I just do it for attention.
I thought I’d share the post because it was very sweet and since I didn’t write the post or took any of the pictures - I thought it would be ok.
I’m just really fucking disappointed to see some of my fans commenting on the post; making fun of the clearly disabled fan - Drawing resemblances to a horse, etc.
It frustrates the hell out of me because it’s not my post so I cant delete these stupid, horrible, idiotic comments.
Just want to say, I don’t approve of this for a second. I’ve blocked these people INCLUDING EVERYONE who liked their posts.
I dont want fans like these.
Please do send the family and awesome bro Daisy some love and support!
I’m tired of getting these stupid offers to work on people’s “passion projects” for free, usually with the promise of compensation when/if the project takes off. Guess what? I don’t care that you’re passionate about it, I care if you’re competent. When you knock on my door asking for free work, its a clear sign that you aren’t. You might have hopes that your project hits it big and that you’ll eventually get rich off of it, but if you REALLY believed in it, I feel like you’d be more willing to put your own livelihood on the line instead of asking an artist to do it for you. If I do a bunch of free work hoping it’ll pay off, I’m not doing other work that could actually feed me and pay my bills. And what happens when the project doesn’t get funded or some important factor blows up or everyone decides to quit out early? I get screwed. So, no. I don’t want to work on your passion project. Not unless I get paid up front.
WONDERFUL ADVICE for artists. Please don’t undervalue your art, your time and efforts are valuable and deserve fair compensation.
Not going to give names but this shit really pisses me off.
I did work in the past for “proper” companies that fucked me over and decided not to pay me until after I produced the art, and then never did. Instead they dodged my calls and e-mails. I was young at the time and didn’t want to “press charges” or any of that. In the end gave up and never got paid.
I’ve also done work for “passion projects” that paid me, sure, but whinged and whined until I docked my prices so I had very little incentive. They also expected insane levels of detail, nitpicked every image and expected numerous edits and renditions, and wanted me to churn them out faster than I was willing because the pay wasn’t work it.
I am still getting offers from companies who refuse to pay the asking price. And I’m not talking small starter projects, these are full-blown corporations who can affordto pay but still try to leech art from unsuspecting artists. They use the “exposure” excuse to try to convince you to work for almost nothing, or wave the threat of “finding a cheaper artist” in front of your face.
So do it then, find someone else willing to work for you. I’ve been ripped off and taken advantage of too many times I am not going to grovel for you. I have a full-time job with a reliable income, if I work for you it’s in my overtime hours and I expect to be compensated for that.
New and aspiring artists, or people just starting out on the freelance scene: don’t put up with this. If you feel like you shouldn’t charge as much as some other people for your style or art that’s fine, but you shouldn’t ever work for free, or find yourself doing more work than the pay is worth.
its late and im about to sleep but thank you @justmaghookit and @briedoof for your advice! ill try both ways out and see if that helps get around my brains stubborn inability to remember shit
I recently saw a video of a young woman talking about all of the reasons our generation, the Millennials, sucks and that’s she’s sorry for what we’ve become. Here is my, a fellow Millennial, response:
You say we’re just ‘existing’ and not ‘contributing anything to society.’ The oldest Millennial is 34, the youngest is 12, we haven’t had time to contribute anything yet. We’re trying to survive in a world that no other generation has had to grow up in, with a tanked economy and most of our childhood hearing nothing but war in the Middle East on the news while also being profoundly connected. We didn’t do that.
You say we’re no longer polite, we don’t say ‘no, sir’ or ‘no ma’am’ anymore and we no longer hold the door open for our elders or women. We also don’t expect low-paid workers to break their backs for us, or at yell at them when they make a mistake, like my 60-year-old grandfather does. We say ‘no problem’ when there’s a mistake in order, and politely stand by while the 40-something-year-old soccer mom huffs and rolls her eyes as the new girl struggles to punch in the correct code.
You say our music objectifies women and glorifies drugs and criminals. There has been no significant change from the songs that were once sung or the singers who sang them. Many of the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s performers were drug addicts, womanizers, and criminals in their own right. Elvis Presley was child abuser, John Lennon raped his many girlfriends and most of the music I grew up listening, which was 80’s rock, were performed by habitual drug abusers. Let’s not pretend like human nature took a drastic turn when 1983 rolled around.
You say we cuss to prove a point. We, as a generation, have learned it’s not the words we fucking use, it’s the passion in them that we care about. As a generation, we’ve become more interested in politics and the world around us, cursing is minor problem when we consider the political climate the older generation has plunged us into.
You say we use ‘bae’ to describe the ones we love. Bae, originally, means ‘before anyone else’ which is incredibly romantic in my opinion. Bae is also hardly ever taken seriously, it’s a jokey way to talk about someone you love. Language changes, I doubt people were happy when we changed ‘wherefore’ into ‘why.’ The greatest injustice we can do to our language and culture is not allow it to evolve and grow with us.
You say we idolize people like Kim Kardashian and shame people like Tim Tebow. Kim Kardashian is a business woman who had a private video she made with a lover illegally revealed. Instead of fading into obscurity, she stood tall and did not let the sexual shaming she endured stop her and now runs a multi-million dollar industry, is married to one of the richest men in the world, and had two beautiful children. Tim Tebow is a Christian who was criticized by a few people for praying in an open stadium while most people just wanted to see a game.
You say we’re lazy and entitled, we want to make a lot of money and get a free education but we’re not willing to put in the work. We are not lazy. I cannot tell you how many people I meet who have gone to school full time while working a part or even full-time job just to make ends meet. We’re not entitled, we’re bitter. In the 70’s, you could work a part time job over the summer and pay your way through four years of school because tuition was $400, now just to walk in the door of your local community college you need to drop $14,000. We have kids who aren’t even old enough to drink, yet are already $20,000 deep in debt. Debt that won’t go away because even filing for bankruptcy won’t erase it. And even with that education, there’s no guarantee you’ll find something in your field. I have a friend who has a degree in microbiology and she’s making $9 an hour selling $15 candles. I have another friend who has a masters in Sport Psychology and Counseling. She’s a bartender. My parents bought a three bedroom house in the suburbs in the late 90’s while my generation is imagining apartments with breezy windows and trying to get enough money to get food while we scrounge up less than $8 a week.
You say we spend more time online making friends and less time building relationships and our relationship’s appearance on Facebook is more important than building the foundation that relationship is based on. We are a generation that is profoundly connected and no other generation has seen this before. We have more opportunities to meet people from all over the world and better chances to understand other worldviews and lifestyles. Being able to stay home and talk to people over the internet is cheaper and more relaxing than having to force yourself to interact with people in public settings after a long day of minimum wage labor. The people I talk to more over the internet are people I have been friends with for years. It’s easier to talk about the day’s events over Skype or Facebook Messenger than arrange a day to meet in person when you have conflicting schedules. I truly don’t believe most people care what others think of their friendship or how their relationships ‘look’ on social media. Most often what you are calling ‘our relationship’s appearance on Facebook’ are documented and searchable memories.
You say our idea of what we believe in is going on Facebook and posting a status on Facebook. Not everyone can join in with the crowds of protesters. It’s easy to see what others have to say through the comments and argue back without the threat of violence. And when this generation does organize events to stand up for ourselves, it’s met with childish name-calling or being reduced to a ‘riot.’
You say we believe the number of follows we have reflects who we are as a person. It’s nice knowing there’s 20 or 50 or maybe even 100 people who care what you have to say or think. We live in an age where we can and will be heard.
You say we don’t respect our elders, that we don’t respect our country. Our elders grew up in one of the greatest economic booms in history and in turn made it the worst economic situation since the 1930’s all while blaming kids who were only five at the time for it. We stand on our flag because it means nothing, it’s a pretty banner for an ugly lie. We’re a country that says you can make it if you just work hard enough while, in the end, that will almost never happen. We’re a country that becomes irate at the idea of 20-something college kids standing on some canvas dyed red, white, and blue but seem to shrug off the millions of homeless, disabled veterans.
You say we’re more divided than ever before. Ever before what? When black folk couldn’t drink from the same fountain as white folk? When women couldn’t vote? When white southerners fought for the idea that they could keep black people as slaves? We’re a generation that is done with injustice and when you fight for social change, you will divide people.
You say everything that was frowned up is celebrated. What does that mean? We frowned up gay marriage. We frowned upon wives being able to say no to sex with their husbands. We frowned up interracial marriage. We frowned up black folk being allowed to go to school with white folk. We frowned upon women being allowed to vote. Are those things not worth celebrating?
You say nothing has value in our generation, that we take advantage of everything. We value friendship more, we value the fists of change, we value social justice and family and the right to marry those we love. We value the right to be yourself, wholly and fully. We value the right to choose and we value the idea of fighting what you believe in, even when everyone older than you is telling you you’re what’s wrong with the country.
You say we have more opportunities to succeed than those before but we don’t ‘appreciate’ them. We are a bitter generation. You can finance a boat for 3.9% but you have to pay back college tuition plus 8.9%. We may have more opportunities but those opportunities cost money we don’t have.
You say you can see why we’re called ‘Generation,’ but we’re not Generation Y, we’re Millennials and we do feel entitled. We were promised a strong economy and inexpensive education. We had the world in our hands and we were going to make it better. And it was ripped away from us because of incompetent rulers, illegal wars, and greedy corporations and we get blamed for it. Crime has gone down, abortion and unintended pregnancy has lowered, people are living longer, people are more educated, people are less likely to die from violent crime or diseases, yet my generation is touted as the worst generation and for what? Crimes that we’re accused of that happened before we could even wipe our own ass? We were raised better, and we were raised in a society that treated, and continues to treat, us like garbage. And we are done. We are not sorry, we did nothing wrong.
So worth the long read
You have no idea how happy that makes me
How does this not have more notes???
Cuz it’s super long xD
I sat in the living room yesterday as my dad watched the video mentioned and agreed with every word. I was sick.
Both my husband and I saw this video and we were just apalled.
Thank you for the response.
Below is a comment my dad made in regard to said video- who’s a few years from retiring… Who’s still helping to support me because of many of those things In the long post.
“Millennials are the future of the economy. The cost of education, living and low wage for today’s kids? Will ultimately kill the American economy. You guys can’t afford to buy stuff… And without consumers?? We all know what happens. You guys can’t afford to live-and that means you get stuck coming home and living with us and we old farts can’t retire and give you the jobs because we’re trying to help you out. That whole video is bullshit. MY generation, the baby boomers, created a selfish money sucking monster. But rather than be honest- we’ll just say the kids these days are entitled rather than take responsibility . Shame on MY generation.”
