Well, that would be one symptom; irritability, trouble sleeping, and so forth (plus of course for energy drinks, putting on weight ) And then there is the obvious that caffine DOES have a LD50 (but that's like 80 cups or more) ᚾᛖᚹ ᛚᚢᚾᚨ ᚱᛖᛈᚢᛒᛚᛁᚴ - ᚦᛖ ᚠᚢᚾ ᚺᚨᚦ ᛒᛖᛖᚾ ᛞᛟᚢᛒᛚᛖᛞ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ganaram Inukshuk 3,682 January 31, 2019 Share January 31, 2019 Remember how I said "I never bother with professional tutorials because they appeal to an art standard(s) I don't prescribe to" or something like that? Yeah; is it a disadvantage to throw away, for example, traditional colour theory (red-yellow-blue), or in the case of 3D modelling, shading? Because I feel like it is, even though there are plenty of examples where not prescribing to XYZ art style/standard/preference is an advantage. Not that I'm complaining about the outcome of my first 3D modelling assignment apart from the fact that it took me 6 hours to render it all (I wish I could install Cinema4D on my monster computer, then I could finish the whole thing in half the time or better and now I'm starting to realise that an 8-core CPU is still not enough; 4 cores is basically a child's toy at this point), but I didn't like how everything turned out round and smooth when my art style is anything but that. Alright, in the event that I'm stuck in an elevator with someone or someone kidnaps me for my thoughts on 3D modeling art styles, I will always cite Runescape as the one of the best example of the art style I want to emulate, at least for terrain and crystalline structures; other honourable mentions go to Simcity 2000 and Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 for their use of marching squares/cubes terrain (even though the games in question are strictly 2D, their terrain style still translates to a fully 3D environment). The only advantage with C4D is that I could probably make one of these either faster or more easily: 1 <> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ganaram Inukshuk 3,682 January 31, 2019 Share January 31, 2019 I have a hard time parsing anything between the hours of 07:00 and 10:00, but here's what happened just now: I managed to acquire an Apple sticker and applied it on my Asus convertible laptop. Reason: I shared a pic of my laptop and had people think it's a Macbook and my class technically requires a Macbook, so why not mess with people that way? 1 <> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ganaram Inukshuk 3,682 January 31, 2019 Share January 31, 2019 Is it reasonable to refuse to call yourself an artist? How about asking others to not call you one? Or actively denying that you are one? In other words, something like this: "I am not an artist. Do not call me one. Never call me one. I cannot be one." <> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If others see art in your work, then you are an artist in their eyes.

Ganaram Inukshuk 3,682 January 31, 2019 Share January 31, 2019 (edited) Side question: am I the only one who thinks Gallus looks like a blue-and-yellow macaw? People keep saying Wonderbolts; I see blue and yellow as the one true complementary colour pair (hence Walmart, Best Buy, Ikea, certain universities, and actual real-life birds).
