Does anyone else feel like Mob and co are setting up for another ARG? I've never seen them with an "under construction" but still technically live website unless they're Up To Some Hot Nonsense (affectionate). Harley Sawyer ARG 2: "I Told You So" Boogaloo, maybe? I don't trust it to be innocent at this point, lol
I am currently 18ish hours into a MASSIVE embroidery project that I am beginning to believe I am insane for taking on. A tie-dyed shirt with an 11×13 full-color embroidery that's a mash-up between the Seven Inches of Satanic Panic album art and the blacklight poster (colors of the former, layout of the latter). I am fully expecting to spend over 150 hours on this beast. It's my first major embroidery project, several years after I last did anything with the craft. I'll upload more WIPs as I get more done!
I have three on my right foot and one on my left. They have been there for two years. THEY WILL NOT DIE. I have tried salicylic acid gel and the wart pads, alongside debridement via an ingrown toenail spike tool and clipping the hell out of them and the calluses that keep building around them with a pair of cuticle nippers I disinfect with peroxide afterwards. It's like the gel works for awhile and then it just STOPS working. They wax and wean, but they won't just give up and go away. I had one on the tip of my big toe once and freezing it even betond excessively did jack all, so I'm not sure this will be much better.
I have no idea what the left foot one is doing, it hasn't grown or changed in, like, weeks. It's either dead and left a scar, or it's hiding from my wrath.
For the love of god please help me nuke these things from orbit so I can put on socks without them getting snared on, and resulting in getting fibers caught in, the stupid little cracks and crevices in the warts on my right foot especially. Please. I am begging for help.
I've had this image floating around in my head for MONTHS. It's loosely based on a single like from a song I like:
>A vivisection of me, done by God for all to see
I know Sawyer doesn't have a canon human appearance, but this is my interpretation of him and I'm pretty proud of this.
The pictures of organs are from Henry Gray's Anatomy, which is in public domain. Everything else, aside from few individual CC-BY brushes for Krita, is 100% done by me, from posing a 3D model for use as pose reference, to the dashed line brush, to kitbashing the background reference together in a 3D program. I spent an embarrassing amount of time even just *preparing* to draw this, and then drove myself insane trying to draw the background because I'm not used to drawing backgrounds.
PS: Someone please shoot me if I decide to do a multiple-light-source backlit image like this ever again, thank you. Consider it an act of mercy on my eyeballs and hands.
(I had something about being against AI scraping my art here but I got two comments on that instead of the actual image itself so I removed it.)
Okay, I am a brand-spanking-new maker. I've had the materials for years but never got around to it until recently when I tried to wire-wrap a nice splotchy carnelian I have in my stone collection. But within two hours it snagged on something and launched out of what I thought was a well secured wire harness for the stone, only to get lost in my car somewhere. How would you guys recommend I get the wire to cooperate and stay put? It's the cheap stuff, yes (got it at Walmart), and it's for learning, but I would like to be able to keep the ones I actually think look nice without risking them stretching open because I looked at them wrong and apparently copper wire is absurdly opinionated about what vibes they agree with. Any help would be appreciated, and I can show off my absolute disaster jumble of a jewelry toolbox and my rock collection in gratitude if anyone wants me to!
