Some already great suggestions in the comments, so to summarize: Have a look at Artststion, Deviantart, Cara, Instagram, LinkedIn, Fiverr, Tumblr.

Deviantart used to be really good for searching artists but not so much anymore. You'll have to wade through AI slop using mediocre search

Artstation and Instagram will probably get you the best results as most active artists are in either of the platforms if not both. You can search keywords for the style too, to some degree

And before you feel overwhelmed about all these social media platforms, remember you don't need to contact them, just find them. Any artist worth their salt will have some other means of contact such as a personal website, a work email or an account in a platform you can bear using.

Good luck out there.

I didn't know the blood got censored out too... Wow that's gotta be a lot. I knew of plenty of the sexual / dirty scenes with Bulma and Roshi, I knew of Mr Popo being turned blue in some places, but I didn't know the blood too

Evangelion has been on my list for too long, I just don't have time for anything in my life. So does each one have their own distinct personality, motivations etc? Are they actually characters or are they more like props?

I would say Winker nor Winkor but English isn't my first language so let's see what the consensus is for this matter.

Out of curiosity, (if you'd like to share), how old were you when you found out and how did you take it? Were you on board with it or did it feel weird?

Sentient, autonomous, giant fighter mechas.

So far the most popular franchise with this is Transformers, but most of their media is mediocre at best. There are some exceptions like a few of the comics and some of the series which are really good, but overall as a franchise they are lacking unfortunately. I really love the trope though.

The other franchise with this would be Bionicle but I can't say I know much about it.

There are plenty of mechas out there, but they don't tick all the boxes for this trope. Most are either non sentient or require a human pilot to be active. And those which are sentient and autonomous are rarely fighters.

So if you know of any - please let me know. Thanks.

Ah yes so alpha male. And this is on top of all the money he made

Am I saying something offensive or ridiculously stupid? Just wondering because of the downvotes.

Answering to you: yes, and more to my point. It's not just one thing you need to fix, it's the whole system. And by cost of living I didn't mean just rent. I meant everything, food, transport, utilities etc. I'll just do my best while I can.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 2 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Yes and no, on one side you are right and consumerism in our culture is to blame. But on the other hand, the costs of living today in many parts of the world would make this kind of localised crafts just impossible. Workers wouldn't earn enough and the products would be prohibitively expensive.

Dragon Ball has so many censored scenes. I love it

It's a beautiful image but you're in the wrong community for it. Try any of the nsfw ones

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 12 points 2 days ago (6 children)

I'd raise my hand for furniture, clothing, and anything ceramics. Homewares and clothing basically. This already exists in one way or another, but I believe it would be amazing if more people could make a living actually designing and making these things, the products would be of better quality than the mass produced ones, and they would be unique.

Unfortunately it's too expensive to become the norm in reality

 

A few minutes ago two accounts on lemmy.ml started spamming pretty much every community on the instance with some crypto mining trash.

Moderators also noticed because all those posts are gone now, good job btw. Then I remembered, wait, doesn't .ml have an application process to filter spam and bots? Out of curiosity, I went to have a look at the users profiles and both accounts were about two years old, with no activity.

Are these hacked accounts? Is that an easy thing to do? And how can one prevent it from happening?

 

Was considering to get a grid mat, large- at least A2 or so - of those you can write and erase. After searching online I found few options, and they're a bit pricey.

Any recommendations? I don't need anything fancy. Just a large laminated grid that can be rolled up. Thanks

 

So I've been working in retail for a while and seen my share of odd and rude customers, but today I had my very first "Karen", and he was american also. (I'm not, and I'm in Australia).

The store I work for doesn't give their bags for free, we charge for them. This guy picked an online order and then threw up a tantrum and demanded to speak to a manager when I refused to give him a bag for free. Another team member (more experienced) just gave him the bag and he just left.

That does it I guess, but it's giving in to rude demands what sustains this kind of behavior imo. I'm not trying to protect the interests of the corporate I work for- it's just a stupid bag ffs, perhaps ask nicely? I've been called off both for giving away bags for free before as well as calling for the manager to deal with "minor issues".

So I'm asking, in general, how do you deal with these types of customers?

 

Asking after the privacy debacle and manifest. I'm not keeping up closely, but iirc Firefox is the browser recommended because of Ublock. After the privacy data issue I've noticed broken trust from Firefox users, recommendations in favor of switching browsers, and predictions saying Firefox is going downhill fast and that their forks won't be maintained for much longer.

So I'm here asking the seasoned sailors' thoughts, aye. Is this just a storm passing by or are you really considering jumping ship?

 

I'm not sure what I'm looking for, so I apologize if this doesn't make sense. I don't mean "anything goes" places like 196, and I don't mean memes or joke or casual conversation communities either. I'm just wondering if there are communities with a loose set of rules where people can reply to a prompt in a game like manner, for example "repeat the same but change one word only", or " wrong answers only", I don't know, I'm open to suggestions for anything gamelike I haven't heard of.

 

Please go easy on me, I'm not very tech savvy. So I got a new android phone, and everything is ok except the audio. This is using the same headphones I used with my old phone, so I'm not talking about improving the phone's speakers or headphones, but the quality of the sound as it is processed in the phone itself.

There is an equalizer (Dolby Atmos) but after trying every preset and option available I give up. They all sound tinny or kind of muffled. My old phone had just a basic "Moto Audio" and it was great. Both phones are Motorola and I'm disappointed to see this downgrade.

So the question is, can I install something to fix this and if yes, what type of app am I looking for?

Thanks

 

I'm not experienced with horses. I know many are trained to work for just about anyone. They were used in wars and police still use horses this day and age for crowd control, so I guess they can stomach a bit of violence and chaos. But most domestic animals behave differently with people they're familiar with vs random strangers, so I presume horses would follow suit?

My question is inspired by countless movie/videogame scenarios in which there are a bunch of random horses tied, and a character just picks any, hops on and rides away.

Or, there's a fight, horse owner gets killed and the thief rides away on the horse.

Regarding horse behaviour only, are these realistic scenarios?

How likely is that a horse would resist being mounted by a random?

Wouldn't they be scared or angry if their previous rider just got killed right there?

Is it possible for an experienced person to tell at a glance how obedient a horse is? (How?)

These are my sudden horse questions. TIA

 

Preferably an active one? Thanks

 

I've never had a Pumpkin Spice Latte. I guess I could go to ask lemmy or no stupid questions, and ask what does it taste like or of I'm missing out on something but that doesn't really feel like what those places are for.

So, is there any community you think I could start a conversation about that?

 

Where someone completely out of the loop asks about some current affairs and people try to summarise what's going on.

For example, right now I'm seeing a few Hillary memes and have no idea if there is something going on about her. OutOfTheLoop would have been the place to ask
