Somebody suggested an Ask/Tell thread for artist talk, if we really need to segregate "weird art" posts from "starving artists talking about doing porn to survive" posts. The thread was fine with the two mixing IMO, especially when it lead to situations like when I posted something really weird with a million kinks for a forums upgrade certificate contest and somebody was like "oh, I actually know that guy, I didn't know he was into all that". I have full faith the mods will figure everything out.

I think it’s all about a clear purpose for a thread. A “bad deviant art thread” is the right home for excessively daring kink art, especially if it’s poorly done or existentially disturbing. Horny comments about said art—be they ironic or sincere—are good because they enrich the dialogue.

But then people started overwhelming the thread with professional quality spank material for vanilla kink (furry, leather, cosplay, etc.). And that gives the larger audience nothing to learn about or talk about or laugh about. So the thread just became a porn dump.

Chomp got a lot of heat in that thread, but his centipede waifu posts are a great example of the sort of kink that results in active discussion amongst the many, as opposed to active tugging amongst the few.

My contribution to this thread is as follows:


We placed a grocery order for pickup today (corona and all). I asked Mrs. Beef to add to the list, a pork tenderloin since A.) it's on sale and B.) I like making pork tenderloins. Exciting. I know.
She goes out just now and gets to the store and I get a text from her of a screen shot of a notification she received from the store.
"Notification: We are out of the following item(s): Pork Tenderloin"
Alright, first off, this is a LARGE grocery store and chain, it's not national, but it's multi-state and regional and the stores themselves are LARGE and well stocked. How they could be out of something like a normal pork tenderloin when they have their own meat and butcher dept in store is, well, whatever. Here's the kicker.
"We have substituted the following item: Mario Batali Original Marinara Sauce"

...what?

Why the gently caress, if you didn't have a pork tenderloin, would you think, "you know what he probably wants instead? Spaghoot. Yes. That will do."

Yeah that's some bullshit. Thanks to COVID and Brexit we had like 20 things replaced with other bullshit on our last delivery.

I'd also like to express my disapproval of any unironic horniness in this thread. I come here to talk about my poops not think about some obese furry goon's boner.

You get me :unsmith:


Although funny enough, while I posted a variety of monster waifus, centipede girl specifically was not mine. Centipede girl was of highly questionable apparent age, and I don't go for that in a horny zone even if the drawing isn't actually lewd. You're probably thinking of some sensual and visibly-adult lamias.

I liked the one where to goon placed a grocery order, picked it up, and gets home before realizing the store had substituted two ducks for the two chickens that had been ordered. The chickens were $5-6 each, the ducks were something like $25 each.

lol I was just gonna post this. I wonder if he got money back for that.

It came up in that thread that I guess grocery delivery apps heavily push the picker to substitute something, anything if an item is out of stock, and it results in absurdities like these.

My grocery store charges the price of the original item if something is substituted so it’s possible he got two ducks for the price of two chickens. I know Walmart does this also.

Pretty sure he checked his receipt and confirmed he was charged full price. I think it was a post early in the corona thread, and people kept posting requests for updates on the ducks. Did you return them, call the store, eat them? I don't think there was ever a followup post. :(

I went and double checked my post history, I got a probation for my NSFW links Fivey post which I thought was thread appropriate because it's the polling mascot that CSPAM already routinely mocks. I don't think I was part of the problem outside that one post, I always aimed for funny, weird, nostalgic or disturbing.
I have an issue where I think I am part of the problem even when I actively am not even after being told I am not the problem, thanks autism :(

It is difficult to declare anyone part of "the problem" because if you asked everyone who posted there what "the problem" was you'd get a bunch of answers, some of them mutually exclusive, and a fair number of "what problem?" responses.


So as long as you posted in good faith, don't sweat it.

Your move, creep.



I watched Peggy Sue Got Married because it's free on Prime and I'd never seen it. If you're unfamiliar it's a Francis Ford Coppola movie about a woman who time travels from her high school reunion in 1985 back to her high school days in 1960.

It's pretty good but Nicolas Cage makes a bizarre vocal choice for his character. He's supposed to be this super cool guy that all the ladies swoon over but he talks bizarrely. Almost like he's doing some kind of nerd voice or something, it's baffling.

I just looked at the trivia on imdb and there were multiple entries about his voice:

Nicolas Cage based his character's voice on Pokey of The Gumby Show (1956). Francis Ford Coppola and the producers hated the voice and Cage was nearly fired. But Cage managed to convince Coppola he was making a good choice.

Part of Nicolas Cage's technique for Charlie's unusual voice not only involved basing it on the animated character Pokey, but also wearing a set of dentures giving himself a prominent overbite.

In a 2018 interview with David Marchese on the website Vulture, Kathleen Turner said that she was taken aback on the set of Peggy Sue Got Married when she first heard the voice that Nicholas Cage chose to use while playing her love interest, but she didn't think it was her job to direct another actor's performance. She instead talked to the movie's director, Francis Ford Coppola and asked if he had approved Cage's choice.


I'm gonna guess this was only possible through the power of nepotism.

I like that his wikipedia page makes it clear he's kind of an egotistical rear end in a top hat who loves nepotism.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolas_Cage
At fifteen years old he tried to convince his uncle, Francis Ford Coppola, to give him a screen test, telling him "I'll show you acting." His outburst was met with "silence in the car".[15] By this stage of his career, Coppola had already directed Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Gene Hackman and Robert De Niro. To avoid the appearance of nepotism as Coppola's nephew, he changed his name early in his career to Nicolas Cage

Probably not yet, if for no other reason than a good armor suit would be fitted to a character. From my basic observations of other artists, when making clothes/armor, they actually fit it around a character as they're designing it. At least for high-detail stuff. That's also a very large and complex object I'm probably not ready for yet. For now I'm loosely following the Blender Guru's four week program, so the next steps would be learning composition and then making a basic environment. Although I'm kind of meandering as I please rather than sticking tightly to it.


Also it just occurred I may have done something ridiculous. Would a metal shield actually have a wood backing? Do they layer shields like that? Or should it be all wood or all metal? Now I have to find out.
