thats not leaking blood the colours are just a little stylized 😭 i cant be the only person who genuinely likes that portrait
I said if u squint it looks that way, I understand that it's not the intention bud. And ur probably not the only one but it's certainly a niche opinion. Like I've been racking my brain to think of reasons the artist might want to make it look like he was painting on a meat canvas and none of them are particularly flattering to ol king chuck. The artist wanted the military uniform to fade into the background to bring the man himself into better focus and humanise him. Which. yeah trying to cover over their violent history by humanising themselves is certainly what the royal family are going for these days so shoutout to the artist for getting the assignment ig lmao. And the one fucking incongruous butterfly that was apparently Charles' idea really gets me
Anyway no royal portrait was gonna work for me, in the same way that I'd be pissed if my landlord was like "hey look what I spent ur rent money on" and it was a fuckin statue of themselves, yk? Royal portraits in general are flimsy fuckin propaganda that waste our damn money, and this one is no different to me, it's just a more self-serving version

okay so update about the dating sim thing from last night: spent all of today trying to complete it fully (bad ends and all) and managed to do as such!! i don't think any of the route characters are gonna infest my brain *that* much to the point that they become official f/os (keyword here being think) but. um. there are two characters i might be screaming about eventually so >_>
one of them being this JERKFACE who i couldn't get the good ending for my first couple of times around and had to look up a guide for. apparently he cannot handle people being as good at tongue twisters as him. coward. i still love and appreciate him though so u_u /hj
this reply wasn't even from his route but i still. a >////<

I don't exactly have a perfect relationship with my mom, but she's really the only person in my family who I can trust to have a good taste when it comes to art in general. (no offense to the rest of my family but they tend to have a narrow view in those areas)
My mom used to be an artist herself, so I used to consult to her about my art before I would post it. I would ask for advice on what things I could still improve on, she was really observant and would point out to me things that I didn't notice. She has helped me a lot on my art journey, at least, until I started becoming more confident and self assured.
