Blue dragon from D&D sketch. One of those ones where you don't know what you're drawing ahead of time, you just put pen to paper and see what comes out-so the anatomy is kind of ass, but I really like the head

One of my favorite approaches to painting is to select a 'domestic' scene, many times hinted at within a narrative but not directly described by an author. This is one such example with Bilbo writing his will for Frodo and contemplating keeping the One Ring. Frodo's Inheritance 11" x 14" Oil on panel private collection

imagine if the senate made the jedi like make a documentary for whatever reason so the public view during the war of them gets better or something and it’s just the funniest shit ever bc the Jedi might be seen as just rigid or uptight by the public but it’s the total opposite

friends, if I can give you one piece of advice for those of you who are new to work, or are about to enter the workforce, especially if you have any sort of office job:

Do not work on your days off.

"But--"

DO NOT WORK ON YOUR DAYS OFF.

Hi everyone I'm looking for some help, as you know if you follow me I started this miniature photography because of Lockdown. Since then it's been increasingly hard to find freelance creative work but I've carried on working on my photography whilst having small contracts here and there.

2025 has been increasingly hard and I have a fair few bills stacking up for my website and computer that I could use some help with.

If you have any spare funds you could send be it just the cost of a cup of coffee, absolutely anything would help me out in this moment. I'm genuinely doing all I can, applying for roles and contacting organisations on a daily basis.

These types of posts are a last resort for me and definitely don't come lightly. I work so hard yet the struggle continues.

So if you can help my link is below or even better if you know anyone that would need my creative graphic design skills on a contract basis or a company that would love my photography work or any contacts that could get my work for it there and help me get back on track that would be amazing.

Thanks

Steve

Yo. I wanted to ask you on how to improve at reading scientific papers and the like, I need them for my career but im a bad reader and they intimidate me. Any advice? Thanks in advance 👍

There's really not much to do about it, because they're rather dry to read. A couple suggestions I can give you though:

1: Print them, having them in physical form is different than reading them on the screen. Choose some papers that are vital to your current research or career and print them, carry them in a little folder, make them your friend

2: Unless the materials and methods are the thing you need to understand, for example, you are using this paper as an example for the methodology involved (for example, I had 1-2 papers that I used as 'models' for my own), you don't need to care that much about it. The richest parts of a paper are in my opinion the discussion and the introduction with the context.

3: Every field has its own 'genre' of papers, and you notice, for example, comparing genetics to anthropology papers. Reading a lot from different disciplines makes you notice those quirks in each.
