Well of course, because it’s spinning too fast. So you don’t see the star shape, only the blurry circle!

Remember once you get around compiling all the cadaveric sources you need to use the proper formatting style for reanimated corpses, not just any style

Yes colored contacts have that effect always, but for a show you’d expect some effort into one of the main characters appearance

This effect is relatively a very simple one to edit in post and would look a lot better than contacts. This looks so cheap

I thought kangaroos and wallabies were similarly equipped if not even more bizarrely. But I’ve never seen it myself

Are you talking about in people’s homes or in like laundromats? I’d be really curious to learn about a consistent placement in the middle east in particular, it never occured to me thinking this would be a thing anywhere in the world.

I live in Australia and have seen a lot of people’s homes for work reasons and can’t find a left/right pattern of dryer and washer placement. People just put them wherever they can, if anything dryers tend to be placed higher up (on the wall, at shoulder height) and washers are always on the ground but there is no left to right preference.

Some people even have the machines in different rooms, usually this is the washer in the laundry (or bathroom if no space for laundry) and the dryer in the garage or outside the house. As I already said these are just tendencies and you find plenty of people with different arrangements.

Hopefully until the platform dies

Ohhh didn’t know about libredirect

If you feel like you are not missing anything, then more power to you. It really has a lot to do with how you relate to people, it seems like for you it’s activities only and you don’t seem to bond intellectually too much or you wouldn’t be asking.

I’ve had several long distance friendships, in fact I still have and they are among my most stable relationships outside of family. It’s having those people you can rely on when things get tough for support, and also to share thoughts and discuss opinions or whatever - to have a conversation knowing we understand each other in a way most people don’t. That can be very rewarding even if I don’t see them face to face anymore, or, in some cases, even if I’ve never met them in person.

This might be a blessing in disguise then. Hopefully you find something you like better!

Just remember these guys can grip an animal the size of a horse with their jaws, overpower it, drag it to the water and rip it apart.

Never welcome news to hear studios closing down :(

Yes, that’s my point. By “most people can see color well enough” I mean most people aren’t color blind and can tell apart basic color differences. That’s all.

It does, however it doesn’t remove human error and it doesn’t help at all with situations or angles where you don’t have clearly defined contours, such as when representing facial features for example. People tend to draw what they understand, not what they see, even when using the one eye trick.

Ah yes a camera obscura. In the past. So easy and obvious, hardly an inconvenience

Hi. I’m an artist, and my answer comes from my personal experience and not from academic research on your topic.

Turns out painting and sculpture pose different challenges to artists. If your goal is realism, you first need to understand your subject, and then you need to translate it to the medium.

One key aspect in the process is finding good reference material to work from. Turns out human faces and bodies occupy three dimensional space, and they are somewhat readily accessible to artists. A talented sculptor can study a model and replicate it as a sculpture; it’s not easy, but there isn’t much else to be done.

Now let’s look at painting. Often people think painting and drawing is easier than sculpting because it’s more accessible, but that’s not necessarily the case especially if you aim for realism. The artist needs to use the brain and translate a lot, and I mean an awful lot, of the information seen in the model (3d space) into 2d. They need to remove one dimension from it, without breaking the illusion. This is why it’s ten times more difficult to sketch from life than it is to sketch from photographic reference; photos already did half the job for you. And back in the day photography wasn’t a thing.

This is very hard already, but on top of that comes color. Most people can see color well enough, the difficult part is understanding how to translate that to a flat, uniform surface that doesn’t emit light. From the get go this means you will have to crunch down and remove color information, ie you can’t paint the sun and expect it to shine like the real thing, instead you will have to either make everything else too dark or not paint the sun just to keep the lighting relationships making sense. Your brain has evolved to see color shades, to take into account lighting conditions and contrast and a lot of other things. And yet, you hardly realize you are seeing all these things because what matters to you is what color things are meant to be, not what color things really are in a myriad of lighting conditions. In other words, you don’t have a color picker tool ability that lets you easily replicate any color you see. This takes years of training.

Then as if this alone wasn’t difficult enough, you now have to deal with pigment chemistry and colors that dry different shades, incompatible or unstable pigment combinations, hard to find pigments, etc. These issues still have to be taken into consideration today, but in the past even more so since people had a lot less options available for a variety of reasons.

I hope by now you’re getting the idea that you have far far more opportunities to botch a painting than a sculpture. Take any civilization and with a few generations of skilled sculptors passing on the tricks of the trade you can reach realistic results. But it took centuries and a lot of thinking and writing and studying to start achieving realistic painting standards. I’m not surprised at all.

Ah that explains why my life is on fire. Like the this is fine meme

Agreed ^^

Ahaaa very true. Thanks for pointing that out

Chiming behind the lemming who said the water a few minutes prior going won’t do anything. It certainly won’t do absolutely anything no matter how much you drink. Once the bowel absorbs the water, adding more water to your body won’t restore moisture to the stool.

What probably happened in your case is simply peristaltic movement, some people are more sensitive to it. So chugging a generous amount of water stimulates your gut tissues and encourages things to get moving along.

Going back to the water - of course if you stay hydrated and keep things hydrated it will help. But you cannot rehydrate a stool just by drinking.
