A girl in my cousin's comm lost a finger on a boating trip. She's pretty upset.

Should I offer to remove all the right pinkie fingers from her gloves, free of charge?

Yikes, poor girl. If you're serious about modding her gloves I'd say go for it. I'd appreciate the offer if I lost a digit.

[Anonymous No.9328595]

>>9328496
I would ask if she would rather have the glove fingers removed, or padded out (e.g. soft toy stuffing) to appear as if there is still a finger in them when worn.

My mum had a stroke and can't control her hand muscles well enough to get her thumb in a seperate part of a mitten so my nana used to knit her one mitten without a thumb, but since nana stopped knitting she just buys ordinary mittens and puts a bit of stuffing in the thumb of the rigt hand.

I've not had a left pinky finger since I was 3 years old. And I can tell you it's a real pain in the ass with frilly gloves. The finger constantly gets stuck on things and gets wrapped around my other fingers. You would be wise to take then all off. I don't for mine just because I want to be able to maybe hand my stuff on or sell it in future.

Crushed when I was playing with a ball outside and it got stuck behind a piece of metal. When I tried to get it unstuck the metal fell on my hand and crushed my pinky and ring finger. My ring finger just got broken but my pinky was almost completely crushed. I now have only the lowest third of it which to be quite honest I might as well have nothing.
My grip strength is shot because of it.

I did a convention a couple times to sell some art. I tried selling my original art in print form, and it went terribly. I barely had any buyers.

Shit sold like hot cakes.

I'm kind of curious. Compare your art to another artists of a similar style. What does it normally look like? I'd like to know because a friend of mine wants to sell stuff but I don't think it's a great idea. Her style is just kind of generic "ugly tumblr" style.

You should just start somewhere! I was in a similar boat and was too nervous to start selling in an AA, but a big boost was making connections with my table neighbors. I knew my shit wouldn't be a fast seller, so I wasn't overzealous about making like 50 copies of every print I drew. I instead made two charm designs and four print ideas all from really popular anime/manga/flavor of the week (it had been Free! at the time, it's Yuri on Ice now lol). I ordered about 15 charms per design and ten of each print. I also had a 1" button maker which I used to make generic/punny/meme buttons.

I sold a lot more than I thought I would, but had left over merch to bring to the next convention I would want to sell at. I learned a lot of personal mistakes and the buttons sold enough for me to cover the cost of the table and some of my merch alone! Making friends in AA, I also got a lot of deets on better ways to maker merch or who they prefer as a supplier and overall support. Anytime I wanted to double check if someone looked good or what I should fix, it was great to have some other artist friends who were nitpicky as I was.

Above all, just keep practicing. Keep drawing and its a hard learning curve but you need to put yourself out there first.

That's the sad part. I posted some examples of my usual work. The time I sold out all my prints was also original content. I just drew like... a random ass cat girl, some ghost girl, and a selkie girl in a bikini with an inflatable looking whale beside her. All original art, just a crappy looking anime style. Shit sold out.

The style really makes a difference whether it is original content or not. To this day I consider dropping what I'm doing in >>9328874 and just going with what cruddy big-eyed anime stuff I can produce. (Don't take this as me saying anime is crap, I'm saying my "anime" is crap.)

It's not really upsetting, it should be expected. Conventions are where people go to buy merchandise from the series they like, so if you're at an anime convention eastern-style art will nearly always do better than western. I didn't see your picture before I posted earlier but it looks like you just need to keep drawing to improve on your art in general.

I'm going to rephrase what I said about 'a life of abstract art'. I'm keeping up the practice, and I'm taking drawing 1 this semester for some hopeful guidance. Ever heard of Louis Wain? A lot of people love his art, but it absolutely terrifies me. I have the same condition, and I'm terrified it is why I am not improving. When I see his art, it terrifies me the idea I might not get better, but worse as years go on. I do want to be a master one day, but I'm terrified I may in the end devolve into a rainbow puke of colors. The fact I've not been improving with practice scares me that my mind is losing its marbles. My feel is done.

There is art in nudity. My house is covered in my stepsisters biological mother (who died) art. A lot of it is very tasteful nudes, mostly women. I suppose I am just different but I can see the art in nudity. Unless it was intentionally sexual, in which case the context is very different from artistic nudes. Nudity need not be gross or disgusting everyone is naked beneath the clothing they wear. Everyone should be comfortable in their own skin. Including their skin not covered in clothes.

Depending on the severity of your diet and lifestyle choices it might be hard at first so just try to ease into it. I started by gutting sugar whenever i could aside from a few specific things. If you do end up going someplace unhealthy with friends or something every now and again just try to eat something beforehand or ease off on the portions. If it's a pizza chain opt for a small thin crust at worst or a slice or two at best. If it's a burger place just get a salad or opt for the smallest burger with no fries and water (I'm aware that none of this is healthy regardless but i hated trying to convince friends to go to a nicer place they hated and i can't be the only one who experiences this) Eventually you just kindpf wean yourself off it.

Obviously exercising more and not eating foot late are required. Also do not drink soda and avoid alcohol. Fruit is good (people will tell you to avoid bananas, apples, or citrus but i had no issue) when you need a pick me up. I made soup a LOT because i foundnit both easy and not super terrible for you. Also DO NOT just skip meals or not eat. That's the biggest lie some people will try to peddle about weight loss

[Anonymous No.9329110]

>>9329068

Be aware of the food you eat. Try cutting down on sugar and carbs the most as they tend to pack the most calories. Keep snacking to a minimum or replace snacks with healthier alternatives. Avoid soda, sugar in coffee, and alcohol. Make your own food as this allows more control of the ingredients you put into it, rather than relying on precooked meals. Moderate exercise is also good - but keep in mind 30 minutes of hard running will only burn off something miniscule like 6 oreos.

Good luck! It's hard, but I'm glad you're going to take a gradual approach to it. The worst mistake people make is to do something unsustainably. You should try to mold your diet and lifestyle choices into something you can do for the rest of your life, rather than going all out ketogenic/atkins/1000 calories per day, or whatever food fad people are following. I know only one person who has successfully kept a ketogenic diet for years now, most people go back to their original diet. So find something that will get you less calories AND you can see yourself doing in five years.

I like androgynous people in general. Masculine women and feminine men, and feminine women. I have zero libido but I have a pretty clear aesthetic for feminine traits.

Sex with anyone sparks no receptors in my brain but on some weird scientific level, when I see a nice looking girl or effeminate guy, I want to feel them up like Helen Keller searching for her contact lens. I don't even want to fuck. I guess it's kind of how an engineer looks at a machine.

I can't really explain it to someone who doesn't feel the same. There's just no reaction. I get excited over doujinshi and ships and even IRL people getting together and I feel nothing sexy about it, just enthusiasm. But I prefer girls unless the guy is 2D or really feminine.

Speaking as someone who regularly buys original art at AA, if I saw this >>9328874 I would probably give your table a pass. Your use of color is interesting but the anatomy is off and the linework gives them a flat look. No variations in thickness. Maybe you were going for "superflat"? The "Surprise!" word bubble looks particularly half-assed, it doesn't add much to the picture and the lack of space top and bottom makes it look poorly planned out. Top right and bottom left do have some interesting shapes and patterns going on. I might buy bottom left if it looks good close up. Keep practicing anatomy and shading.

Here's some artists on whom I've spent minimum $20-50 each last year for original art:

They're not really stereotypical anime style but you I guess you might call it asian-looking from the small noses. I tend to be drawn to art that looks stylized and colorful, that kinda "pops" out of the page. I also love the look of rough lines in color and monochrome ink brush works.

>"I don't care!1!"

Not the first time she's acting like an entitled 8yo depsite being fucking 25. She only got into the fashion this year buying only burando including dresses like Sugary Carnival and such yet didn't even buy a petticoat and pmed me with a "-_-" when I told her that no, I didn't have time to meet her just to lend her my petticoat even "just for a day".

Invited her at one of my "private" meeting once (just going to see a movie and eating out with close friends) , everyone was ok to see the movie in VO with subtitles except her and we had to watch a shitty dub instead because she whined she couldnt "read fast enough".

Yet for some reasons the "popular girls" in the comm seem to protect her. Geez.

>other friends comment about what they like best from it, etc. all normal comments

Why is she doing this? She makes me really uncomfortable with the way she self-obsesses and inserts stuff about her size all the time. I'm just afraid of saying how I feel because I'm fat so I'm anxious she'll be the type to spin this as me being a bully or jealous. I wanted to comment so hard about why she thought that announcing her size on my picture was something I or anybody cared about.
But this can't be my fault. I also went mall shopping with a different friend from my comm recently and she's way cuter. Yet we had so much more fun. And there wasn't that awkward bragging or anything coming from her, she was a delight.

And all of this is terrible timing because I am at a really low point in my adult self-esteem due to drastic weight gain and relationship problems. Just bc I don't whine and vaguepost about my size and depression doesn't mean there's no struggle..

There, there anon. Don't beat yourself up, i gained a ton of weight from medication so I feel you. Just start working at it and you'll start feeling better. It sounds like that girl is just being a bitch, she might be insecure herself or she's really just a bully. For the sake of not starting drama, I wouldn't comment or say anything to her. Just stop hanging around her, you found out why she doesn't have many friends.

First of all, good on you anon! It's hard to get the motivation to get in shape and the fact that you met your goal is awesome.
Second, your ex sounds like a little bitch who couldn't deal with you wanting to better yourself and be happy, and so that's his loss. You'll definitely find someone who wants you to be genuinely happy and not just in a way that's convenient for them; don't be too sad about losing even MORE dead weight than you intended to

Shit that only happened in your head.

Women like to do this, very often their interpretation of an event is absolutely nothing like the reality of it. They falsely perceive insults against them.

>mall girl posts and can't resist but to say how she'd like one of my shirts but "in a size m"

There's nothing wrong with this, she wants the same shirt except in a size that fits her, it's your female interpretation of it that's the issue, partly caused by your extremely low self-esteem from being a fatty.

>>"Well of course it would look great on me anon, everything looks great on me. In fact, I've always been the girl in the circle who others get jealous of bc of my figure."

Shit that was never said, this is you blatantly lying and misquoting her, something else that's very common for women to do.

You do all this to make other people side with you. Too bad only other idiotic females wouldn't recognize this, they'll give you the "oh my god, that bitch, you go girl" response that you want.

> drastic weight gain and relationship problems

Boo hoo, you have it incredibly easy compared to men, and unlike men you act entitled to sympathy/pity for it, while men expect absolutely no sympathy from others, only disgust and shame.

Lesanon here, and I'd say there's probably nothing wrong with you, although it does sound like you might be some degree of asexual. I'm not super into androgyny, but I can relate to the feeling of appreciating feminine guys in the same way I might be aesthetically attracted to a nice bunch of flowers or a landscape, or even wanting to push a guy against a wall (but no more than that). I find 2D guys fit this type better than 3D ones and used to read a lot of BL manga when I was younger as well, getting invested in the story without really getting aroused by it. I dated three guys of this knda-feminine type before to see if they did anything for me, but despite emotional intimacy with them, it didn't do anything for me sexually and I felt absolutely nothing when kissing them. Unlike you, though, I am sexually attracted to girls. I'd guess >>9329220 is right in thinking you're an asexual lesbian.

The only thing I'd suggest checking out is your iron/vitamin levels. I had a vitamin D deficiency and mild anaemia for a couple of years without realising, which can both have side effects of low libido. It didn't make me asexual but my sex drive was a lot lower than it had been before (I was stupid and assumed that the lowered sex drive was a result of me maturing and not being a teen any more, when it was actually a deficiency), and I had a massive libido spike and got way more into girls a few weeks after getting prescribed tablets for it.

sage since this is basically not /cgl/ related

Well now we know why she doesn't have any girl friends..... Honestly, until she reassess her own personality, you shouldn't waste time on her. Slowly distance yourself from her, turn her down because you're 'busy' if she asks, and so on. Do the little things to at least take away some stressors.

I have had this happen.... I actually was able to change my friends mind by shifting her attention to something similar but not as gaudy. She wanted to do bunnysuit!disney, but we spent like three hours on pinterest looking at actually ballgowns and I convinced her to do the ballroom dress doll line instead and we've been working on it for Katsucon.

I think it just takes a little bit of perseverance. Another time, it just took less enthusiasm and saying no. I kept putting off buying materials and working on breaking down costumes until my friend just asked if I wanted to do this cosplay anymore and I told her straight up that it wasn't something I wanted to do and it worked out. She had just wished I'd be upfront with it in the beginning.

Are you pretty anon? Big girls aren't suppose to be pretty to some, it really upsets some people. Anyway, she's a size M. It's not like she's a waif. She's just upset that people are giving you attention.
