You were firing on all cylinders on this piece. The only negative criticism I can offer is that the helmet looks huge on her - but it’s been a hot minute since I’ve seen the movie. Weaver’s facial proportions are spot on, though.

I love how you used all corners of the color wheel, but also a very wide range of saturated and desaturated colors. Also think you leveraged brush strokes extremely well here, to emphasize her curly hair and the blurriness of the reflected computer displays.

I’d love to see more of your work with color palettes. It seems you did landscapes and still life in the past, but they haven’t given you an opportunity to work with colors a lot. I think you could do some really good portraiture as well.

Good luck! 😁👍

Wonderful palette. Love the diverse color choices and the deep value range. Vivid while still also very stark and shadowy.

I bet “heavenly” is very subjective here lol

Ah yes, very distinguished beans 👸

Not worth withholding the tip, just, I don’t want to think about dirty, smelly feet next to my food

Also I fucking hate tip culture

The aura loss when the party sub bullies you

HELL FUCKING YEAH

Nah, Trump and the Oligarchy aren’t something happening to America, they’re a consequence of America

Oh, I agree. I’m very glad they’re not mutually exclusive! But neither imply the other, both are virtues that can be pursued independently, and I believe that pursuing both at the same time is very “good.”

So, the closest thing I’ve had to a childhood hero is Spock from the 60s Star Trek show. As I’ve grown older and more aware of of the world around me, I’ve realized elevating rationality to a virtue by itself isn’t enough to form a coherent ethos. In fact, I think individuals are actually very bad at rationality. Everyone who puts rationality on a pedestal, from Zizians to SBF to Reddit atheists to Elon Musk to Randian libertarians, is really just forgetting how subjective rationality can be.

I firmly believe that compassion is just as important as rationality when it comes to building strong, honest societies. You need both. We want ethics that are internally consistent, sure, but rationality and internal consistency don’t themselves give ethics purpose.

Putting aside the discussion about bodies and objects, the primary concern is consent - which also applies to objects anyway. Would you steal a dead person’s wallet “because they don’t need it anymore”?

Why wouldn’t you? There are very few instances in which one can assume they have consent over another person’s body.

I like using Þ and θ because I think they’re cool
