Oh, I've been doing things the hard way - AGAIN.

I'd always ignored vector line art tools because I hate moving points.

I didn't realize you could convert a raster layer to a vector layer & then use the "correct line" tool to manipulate line weights SO EASILY (this is in CS Paint).

#lostart_8xup

A white dragon looks left, 3 earrings on his right ear, a nose horn, some big swoopy ears, a truncated horn on his left, he's got a slight smile and is looking at nothing in particular (so it could be a cheeseburger - or it could be the answer to life, the universe and everything). This was really just me playing with Clip Studio Paint's tools that have to do with vectors.

You can convert a raster layer to a vector layer and then use the "correct line" tool to easily paint over any lines you want to be fatter or thinner, erase, etc. and it's all vector art.. You could then turn that back into a raster or leave it). It's pretty handy.. Like - a huge time saver.

That ought to do it. I can't really think of what else you could try anyway.

I liked Mint.

I liked PopOS too (if it's still around).

The story of my Linux experience is that I always run into some annoying edge case & end up back on Windows. It's so much closer for me than it used to be though.

Huh!

Does it work on a clean install of edge? No VPN?

Vexing really, I was just trying to log into something else on Opera & it refused, then I tried it on FF & it went through. I haven't figured out why.

The mysteries and vagaries of the web confound even 20+ years later. 😅

There's one of these left in stock on Amazon for $60 instead of the usual $200.

Please note he's 13.5 inches tall so..

There were two when I looked earlier.

Someone bought one of them.

Someone.... Yes...

Hero Collector Eaglemoss The Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) MEGA Edition | Doctor Who Figurine Collection | Model Replica

Want a jelly baby? This 13.5" tall, hand-painted figurine capturing the iconic image of the Fourth Doctor, as portrayed by Tom Baker, comes to life in MEGA form, joining our collection of Doctor Who figurines. As seen in this detailed Fourth Doctor figurine, this incarnation of the Time Lord was a spirited eccentric, a bohemian wanderer with no respect for authority, whose slapstick antics veiled a powerful, brooding intelligence. Voted the best of all incarnations of the Doctor in the BBC's 50th Anniversary Doctor Who poll, the Fourth Doctor captivated audiences for over half a decade with his rainbow scarf. His fantastic adventures included many much-loved companions, including Sarah Jane Smith, K9, Romana, and Leela.

Thanks!

It's so cool! :D

Question (if you have time):

Is there a brush-on white primer that works or is that something that would always need to be sprayed?

I see cans and bottles (but they're meant for an airbrush).

Spraying paint & my apt. aren't convenient exactly.

I posted this in the other post too but I think this is the human parts set if you want to combine.

I believe here is the human parts set (if you want to make a catgirl, etc. by combining sets)

I’ve had them be finicky. Sometimes if I try a different cable or port it’ll work.

Could be one of the Apple services isn’t running.

Make the PC restart (use restart, not shut down / back on) and try again.

Sorry it took me like 8 takes to get this posted.

Bsky was being weird with the link, but it seems to be okay now.

Lost Dragon @lostdragon.bsky.social · 5h

Hey guys, so emithewolf.bsky.social‬ found the site and the figure was designed like I'd hoped.

The parts are interchangeable, so if you (for example) buy the human one and the cat one you can mix and match body parts to make an anime cat-girl, etc.

Woo-hoo!

(Thanks for looking that up!)

It's for when you want your garbage to smell like garbage scented flowers.

My mom used to spray some floral scented Lysol into the trash can every chance she got when I was growing up.

I have a real knee-jerk-kinda-makes-me-wanna-puke reaction to floral scented sprays now.

Like, ugh. No.

Yes, absolutely.

Yeah same. I thought it was just me when I reposted it.

If I buy the maid outfit I may have to admit that I’m officially playing with dolls.

Lost Dragon @lostdragon.bsky.social · 7h

Excellent!

Now I’m not the only one.

You can probably take it off your taxes as art supply. It’s basically a furry manikin

Lost Dragon @lostdragon.bsky.social · 7h

Yeah I had to buy the set. 🤣

So there’s the wolf, the cat and then a regular person body and I think the way they’ve set it up the parts are interchangeable so if you have the human body and the cat you could make an anime catgirl.

I *think*
