Some Additional Wips, I think I prefer this version over the original design. Apperantly the oxidation on Silver is called Firescale! I like to think that he tarnishes over time, kinda like sweating. And, of course, from when he's in the forge or breathing fire

I am obligated to share this meme again

That guy is not real meme but it's Herman and Jacky.

I concur, thanks for the talk though.

You have said a free market society cannot be virtuous; all systems are fallible; capitalism always becomes oligarchy; and that virtue is in trying to improve a system. If virtue can't exist in a free market, what's to stop oligarchy happening instantly? I'm trying to say that virtue can still exist

Eugene Gray Art @eugenegray.bsky.social · Jun 23

I'm not sure what else I'm supposed to infer haha. If virtue stands against the devolution of capitalsm into oligarchy, what's to say that virtue can't exist in a free market?

1

Eugene Gray Art @eugenegray.bsky.social · Jun 23

Again, I absolutely agree. Your initial comment said that capitalsm is rigged and always leads to oligarchy eventually. You restated your point was that all systems are fallible. What does a fallible system look like if not something tyrannical? Oligarchy is by its nature tyrannical

2

Eugene Gray Art @eugenegray.bsky.social · Jun 23

On all points I agree. I think the question I asked was flawed. By your logic all systems are fallible so all systems will devolve into tyranny eventually, would that not be a reasonable conclusion to draw from your point?
Perhaps virtue and trying to maintain virtue actually stands against tyranny?

Completely reasonable! Text can be notorious for losing subtext

Ergo is a bit broad a stroke wouldn't you say?

Eugene Gray Art @eugenegray.bsky.social · Jun 23

I'm saddened to read you reduce my personal views. My apologies if I've offended you or made you feel like I was attacking you, that is not the case.
I think perhaps we should agree to disagree.

Eugene Gray Art @eugenegray.bsky.social · Jun 23

That's absolutely possible, I often find realism skews into the negative and while that has its use I'm not sure it's always as reflective of reality as the name suggests. I don't think I can speak on your experience with Buddhism, but I've seen it have a positive effect on many people in my life.

Eugene Gray Art @eugenegray.bsky.social · Jun 23

Your conclusion is a bit too cynical for my tastes haha; maybe I just have a bit more hope left to lose. Virtue isn't a place, but a journey, I agree. I think a society that tries to be virtuous is virtuous for the act of trying.

1

Eugene Gray Art @eugenegray.bsky.social · Jun 23

I'm concerned I misread that, is your opinion that society cannot be virtuous? How do we build a better system if all systems we create are fallible?

2

Eugene Gray Art @eugenegray.bsky.social · Jun 23

Do you think that a free market world can be virtuous? In your opinion, Is the devolution into oligarchy a product of the system or the people it creates?

Lamest oligarchy, I don't think a soap opera could've written it worse.

Smashing @greekceltic.bsky.social and I's muses together. Furrowphage uses nicknames for people she doesn't respect and Jackie's bullshit meter fills up quick <3
#Hetherev #ocart #comics

A sequence of images depicting interactions between the characters Jackie (belonging to GreekCeltics) and Furrowphage (belonging to DoodleConner) in a forest. Furrowphage approaches Jackie saying "Hey little red!" but is cut off when a wary Jackie punches her square in the face. Furry's face is clearly dented in, causing Jackie to wince at the cartoony sight of Furry pulling her own nose to return it to shape. There's a pop sound before Furry presents Jackie with an open palm. Jackie looks at it warily as Furry says "Ok, pause... Take two." We cut to an inverse of the shot, where we see Furry still has the imprint of Jackie's knuckles on her face. Speaking flowery now, Furry continues "Nice to meet you. Jackie, right?"

It's that time of year, @greekceltic.bsky.social; lemme sprinkle some cloud art on your #greekappreciationday.

Sweeping landscape with various boats and people watching the various storm clouds roll in.

Copped image of the first photo, showing Herman, Junior, and Jacky standing on a cliff.

Some detail view of the boats in harbour and a lonely lighthouse.

Hetherev is an art challenge/roleplay group where we put our OCs in a sandbox world and watch them interact. You don't have to roleplay (or even be active), many use it as an art hangout and a way to get motivated to illustrate/work on their art.
21+ only for moderator's sanity

Heth is an art challenge RP hangout.
- 21 and older only, sorry.
- Draw your OC meeting someone else's.
- Nightly voice chat/multistream.
- The basics/willingness to try required to participate.
- Non-artists welcome in guest areas.
No deadlines. No expectation to participate.

An infographic that more or less conveys what's in the description with some OC doodles and colored background art to spice it up.
(Sorry for skimping on the details, big eye strain today).
