Miscellaneous

I came up with an interesting game today.

So basically, there are three things. War, Disease, and Hunger.

One of the three things can be completely eliminated, but at a cost, as another one would be dramatically increased. The third thing would remain the same as it is now.

So for example if you chose to eliminate War, there would be global peace, but there would be a dramatic increase in either hunger (worldwide famine) or disease (global pandemic).

Or if you eliminated Disease, all diseases would not only be simultaneously cured but also prevented, but you would either have to pick a global war situation or shortage of food.

Or if you eliminated Hunger, no one, humans and animals alike, would ever go hungry again as there would be bountiful food. But you'd either have a world at war or widespread disease throughout the globe.

So what would you choose?

Hi everyone!
I'm Gossamer, which is a fine, filmy substance consisting of cobwebs spun by small spiders, which is seen especially in autumn. my pictogram looks like a kiwi, and I'm new here. I just thought I'd introduce myself~ I'm very excited to be part of the TEF community!

Oooookay, I've been way too nervous to create a blog like this before but what can I say... desperation drives people do desperate things.
To put it short, I have some art lying around that I don't need. A couple of old paintings I have no place for and a few leftover art prints.

My question is; are there anyone who would be interested in buying any of these and if so, what would be the price you'd be willing to pay? And even if you can't buy anything now, what would be the price you'd pay for these if you had the money?

I've never shipped any packages of this size anywhere so that's something to figure out later.
Here's the stuff. I'm sorry for the horrible, horrible quality of photos. Had no natural lightning this time so nasty flashlight it is.

A duplicate piece of this work: x
A WIP, obviously. Shall be finished.
The canvas itself costed something like 30€ if I remember right so yup, would be nice getting some of that money back.
Acrylic paints in gold and black on canvas. Deer drawn on white paper and attached to the canvas. Pencils, watercolor, ink. Yup, very mixed media piece.

A set of three canvas paintings, oriental theme with a silhouette of an antilope.
This was my first acrylic painting and it's very simple and bold with vivid colors. The bamboo are painted with gold ink.

I'm not too sure about selling this one yet. I mean, I've kinda got this love-hate relationship with this painting.

Whooo
I just noticed i turned 4 here like 2 hours ago. *streamers and glitter*

I will try and be on tomorrow, I have been super ill this week so using a laptop was just too hard and far too much energy. I'm much better now thou (apart from possibly pulling something in my leg, coughing my lungs up, a lingering migraine and being tired all the time that is)

Found this handy project by the California Academy of Sciences. They've 3D scanned many different kinds of skulls for everyone to look at- deer, whales, coyotes, bears, you name it. They are interactive, so you can rotate and/or zoom in and out. Looks like a very useful source if anyone needs a reference for drawing animal skulls!

Additionally, here's a link to a 3D museum, which has models of mammal skulls as well as birds, and a couple fish.

edit 8/6/17: added another link

edit 10/17/16: updated link, the original website doesn't seem to be available anymore?

Hey there everyone. So I'm not totally sure if this is appropriate to post, but the old member Eyestrain is currently taking emergency commissions. They don't use the community anymore, but I know that many people here knew them, and they were always a good and friendly person. They run a tumblr, and you can find their commission post detailing this here.

I've already signal boosted it on tumblr, since I don't have any means to commission them currently. Hopefully you can do the same and some of you can commission them; their art is amazing and they really need some help right now.
