jumblr folks should collectively make a basic jewish theology quiz that ppl outside the jewish community should have to pass before arguing with us about jewish theology. like what the fuck are these ppl doing arguing with me about the torah when they don't know about the existence of the oral torah.

It's been done, have a link.

I see a lot of folks confused about step one in the tags and to explain: what they're doing is just a color wash. Typically it's done with a color opposite on the color wheel to the primary color in a piece (though can be other tones for various reasons). It helps to make the final colors pop a lot more than they would if painted directly on a white canvas as the wash will show up in tiny spaces between the paint/in thinner areas and create contrast.

Yeah sorry I crossed your boyfriend with jellyfish dna so he's fluorescent now. Mhm yeah I'm studying his cells by shooting him with a laser. You can still read about him in my dissertation in 4-5 years though

actually no one is allowed to make fun of transmasc names anymore. i dont care if it's a 13 year old trans boy named after his favorite cartoon or whatever you're not allowed to make fun of trans guys' names

I don't think I ever talked about the replica in detail but it was sanded, hot wired, and sealed with a combination of matte and gloss sealant to match how light reflects off of bones that color. It was a filiment print so it took a ton of sanding ;-;! All the sutures were carved with a hotwire and filled in or drawn with pencil to match the natural cracks/fusions. The paint was hand done with acrylics. They were wiped and sanded and stained to match the colors/textures of the ones I saw in museums. I used darker colors in the nasals and orbits to create the illusion of depth even in low light. And I used some uncleaned coyote skulls as references to match the colors/textures as accurately as I could!

Holy SHIT.
