No man you dont understand, you gotta just not sleep at all after you go home from your shitty job to train REALLY hard for an entry level job, just to get laid off from it after just a few months.
I would genuinely rather pokemon go back to being a hobby I get bullied for liking rather than whatever the hell recession indicator it's turned into now
The only acceptable reason to have kids is that you want to nurture and care for another being.
That's it. That's all of the good reasons. Not because you want someone to take care of you in your old age, not because you want them to take on a certain career, to give you grandkids, to further your religion. None of that. To bring a child into this world with expectations makes it unethical to have one, it lays the foundation for emotional blackmail; as in, 'I brought you into this world and raised you, had you for this reason so give me that happiness'. No one owes you anything for the things you do out of your own will for your own sake, not even your children.
When I started my animation concept art program, I wanted to work at a studio so bad, but as school went on, I talked to more teachers who worked in the industry. Job hunting every six months, never having job security, it really made me go in a different direction.
The thing I miss with DA is, art community was so much more interactive before scrolling format on socmed become a trend. And ppl will still commented on things you posted years ago, while nowadays, posts died in 1 day. It forced artists to update everyday when that's not normal
I miss deviantArt so much, I miss that era of internet, where there was a greater sense of community, art was easily discoverable and profiles were incredibly customizable....
Seeing DA becoming this bad is so disheartening to be honest. I grew up on that site, seen so many cool art and artists and met so many art friends. It's a time capsule for me now but it's still sad to see how it's holding itself by a thread.
Im not self conscious about being 29 almost 30 cause I dont hang out with people who make me feel like I should be ashamed of my age or that im too old to be engaging in any sort of hobby, in fact I'm always encouraged or complimented for never giving up on embracing my true self instead of acting like I shouldve shriveled up and die already at 23
My bestfriends are around the same age as me and are just as 'immature' because we grew up literally online and have the same culture like 2000s kids do, & i feel like a lot of people forget that fact ?? LOL like bro WE GOT TO EXPERIENCE THE INTERNET WHILE IT WAS PURE AND REFRESHING. WE GREW UP WITH SEEING TECHNOLOGY BOOM HARDCORE
I love anime, i love manga, i love teh interwebs, video games, i love being old and cringe and carefree :3
for those still unsure of how this works:
1. duplicate your image
2. clip a Brightness/Luminosity layer filled with orange to the duplicate
3. set the duplicate to Hard Light
you can then merge the brightness and hard light layers, adjust the opacity, levels, etc.
