"Deckles", rhyming with "speckles".
Eye-ther mostly, but like with many words I'll alternate between pronunciations! (You still won't catch me pronouncing "decals" like dee-cals though!)
I alternate between the two pronunciations depending on whatever I vibe with at the time, much like with how I spell colour/color
Yes. I'm very good at recognizing faces, even if I haven't seen that person for years and they've got a completely different hairstyle.
Highly recommend it to anyone interested in either visiting Europe or travelling to another country in it! Just be careful of the mosquitos. I barely got any bites at all, but I did see people who got bit all over!
Visiting Corfu in Greece! 😃 I live in a colder country so I instantly felt the heat hit me the moment I walked out of the plane... I visited this place aptly named Emerald Island and it was so, so wonderful to visit. I can't remember what beach this was but I rented some paddleboats and caught some fishes. The night life is fantastic too. I lost track of how many geckos I saw. There was a cafe on Messonghi beach and I loved jumping off of the pier there and diving into the water after eating lunch. I stayed in a place that was on the mountainside and I never needed an alarm, because the roosters would wake me up!
Such friendly people too!
- Don't post photos of yourself online. You never know what someone could do with them!
- Don't feed the trolls! They're looking to get a reaction out of you, so it's best to give them blue horns.
- Don't say what city/town etc you live in, country is enough in most contexts!
- Disable geolocation wherever possible
- Don't save passwords for your accounts to your computer! Write them down in a diary.

Cave paintings, since I'm an artist! 😃 Also probably building tools and things since I enjoy building stuff in general
How is your week going?
Pretty sure since there's no pollen here atm but I'm congested and have a headache... and I was around someone who had a cold. Every time I have a cold it's like this
Having easy access to clean water. In sub-Saharan Africa for example, 300+ million people regularly risk disease and death just from trying to be hydrated
How is your week going?
Thank you!! ❤️
Artist here. I don't use any of those and use my eyes. Using AI to try and detect AI always rubs me the wrong way because the false positive rate is high. I've even seen Van Gogh paintings get wrongfully labeled as being AI-generated
How is your week going?
Good but I have a cold right now and when I woke up I felt like my lips were gonna crumble through breathing through my mouth all night… I have a really good immune system so colds typically last only around 4-5 days though!
Haha omg I meant to post this on "how is your week going"! 😂 😅
Good lord, you're right that thing is terrifying!
Knife Party - Destroy Them With Lazers is an oldie but a goodie!
I love Australia but I've always wondered what exactly it is about Australia that made evolution go "yes, let's make this place like Master Mode in BOTW where everything is OP, wants to kill you, and can one-shot you"

Yes, mostly to health charities that pertain to researching serious medical conditions which currently have no cure.
What games have you played lately?
I'm playing San Andreas: Definitive Edition, it's actually my very first exposure to GTA San Andreas and I'm enjoying it a lot so far! 😃 What games have you been playing lately?
Are there any other artists here? What are your favourite pieces of art that you've made? 😃
Hi! I've been looking to discover new artists a lot lately, which inspired this thread! I think every artist has at least a few pieces that are their favourite. I'll go with some of mine!
No AI is used in my process, progress pics are here!
Also, are there any pieces of art that you initially weren't a big fan of when you finished them, but later warmed up to them?
Does anyone else just absolutely love flying? Which countries/locations are at the top of your list?
One of my goals for this year is to fly more, and fly further. I've got Mauritius, Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea at the top of my list.
I know some people find airports to be stressful or a chore, but there's something about just sitting in an airport cafe in the early hours of a sunny morning that gives this vibe I can't really articulate. I just love it. I'm still like a little kid whenever the plane is taking off, and even in cruise I just can't get over the fact that we're travelling in a metal tube so high above the Earth at incredible speeds, and we could be on the other side of the world in less than a day! Getting a window seat is a must!
It makes me feel really proud to live in an era where it's possible for us to fly to one continent to the next within hours...
What are your earworms?
Earworm - the experience of a song stuck in the brain. I find myself getting earworms so often haha. My latest one is this song, I Want To Be In Fabric by Todd Edwards, particularly the part starting at 2:28. Gives me massive Freezepop vibes omg!
What are some songs that have been stuck in your head lately that you'd like to share? 😃
Made a quickie 3D model of Pucky from the Hartford Whalers hockey team!

It's a quickie, but I think it turned out cute! My friend recently got a Hartford Whalers jersey and when I saw this little friend I couldn't help but make him into a little 3D model! I hope you all enjoy!

What's something you enjoy eating that other people think is super weird?
I don't think I've made a post on here about food, so here goes! 😃
I'll go first...I just love eating uncooked pasta. It has such a satisfying crunch and the tomato pasta and wholewheat pasta are my faves! This has been a habit that I've had ever since I've had teeth and people are always surprised that I haven't damaged my teeth doing this. I enjoy pasta cooked too!
I just finished a small drawing of some Pikmin bugs!

I like angels, fish, and pasta, so I combined all three for this drawing to make this fishy friend!
I've been experimenting lately with combining my older style (which was heavily inspired by Rayman 1's character art) with my newer one, so while it is still an airbrushy style it's not TOO airbrushy, and it's a little messier. I had an absolute blast drawing this one, though I did start to get a little hungry while I was painting the tomato sauce!
Are there any words that you pronounce in a way that seems weird to most people?
I've always pronounced the word "Southern" to rhyme with howthurn. I know most people say it like "suthurn" instead. I didn't realize that the way I pronounce it is considered weird until recently!
Timelapse of me drawing my goofy lil character (link to timelapse in description!)
Timelapse is HERE!
I felt like drawing something quick for a personal keychain charm and recording it. So I did! She says as she laughs in sleep-deprived brain
Drew a celebration thingy featuring my slobbering biblically accurate angel character Goodie!
Celebration card thingy I doodled up for another site. I really do enjoy drawing teeth and mouths way too much haha. Felt a little refreshing to draw in this lined style again since I love using different line thickness. I hope you all enjoy! 😃
I drew my biblically accurate angel character Goodie eating an unrealistically giant burger! 🍔
*No AI is used in my process. Progress pictures and the Paint Tool SAI file associated with this drawing are here!
After a nearly unanimous verdict on Tumblr, I've decided to give the grown-up form of Goodie tattoos! I had a lot of fun with this drawing. Even though the burger kind of makes him look kinda small. The lore accurate sizing I have for him is that he's around 2.2 meters (7.2 feet) in length with his head alone making up half of that length. So the burger is actually massive! But that's angel magic for you eh?
I've been playing Super Mario Sunshine a lot lately, and it also made me want to draw something bright and colourful. I surprise myself sometimes with how much whatever game I'm currently invested with at the time can influence my style haha. I hope you all enjoy! 😃
My first attempt at 3D sculpting in Zbrush! It's of my angel character Goodie (larval form)! I hope you all enjoy!
Had to upload the video to Internet Archive since Lemmy doesn't like largeish file sizes. Zbrush's UI is a little bit weird, and definitely takes some time to become accustomed to, but I'm pretty happy with how this turned out!😃
Quickie drawing I just finished of EVE from WALL·E! (Progress pictures in description)
I've been in this weird hyper mood lately. I don't know why, but I'm not complaining, since I expended some of that energy on this drawing! Originally it wasn't going to have a background, but it didn't take me long to draw EVE herself so I figured why not add a little background to it too? I'm pretty happy with how this came out, so I hope you all enjoy! 😃

Couldn't resist making some Halloween art, so here's a small doodle of a fluffy angel! I call this one "MELT"!

This one started from me messing around trying to practise painting fur more, but then it just started to take on a mind of its own and it turned into this! I hope you all enjoy!

It's been a while since I've drawn a biblically accurate angel picture, so here's one I just finished! I call this one "ATOMIC ANGEL"!
cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/46183244
This one took me forever, but I'm really pleased with how it came out. I've been through so many revisions with this one it's not even funny, but I think it came together in the end! 😃
Typically, I would post a link to progress pictures and files associated with this drawing onto my Internet Archive account, but Internet Archive is currently still not allowing logins at this time. I shall upload the files there once logins are reinstated. Apologies for any inconvenience!
