I'm not sure if this piece is finished, but I'm done with it, if that makes sense.
About 9.5" x 9.5"
Thank you. My Bachelors of Science is in Fine Arts specializing in printmaking so, believe me, I'm more than familiar with those kinds of artists.
I just disagree.
The Senate is where the States have equal representation regardless of size, that's the point of it. The House is meant to be where California's population makes the difference, but the cap needs to be removed, imo.
Without a Senate, the most populous states drag everyone else around by sheer weight. That's not sustainable.
Also, as someone who has experienced life in both rural and urban America, city people have lots of misunderstandings about how people in small communities live and make bad decisions based on those misunderstandings as well. It's not like country folk have a monopoly on that shit.
EDIT: Just want to acknowledge the point I think you're trying to make about minority (often religiously motivated) groups passing laws that affect huge populations in cities where we have to live with each other. I totally get it, just to be clear.
Actually, I wish they'd made his girlfriend a little less, ah, childish.
Really? Please explain. Like, I get the DEI joke, but the fact all these little states are red isn't some law of the Universe. They have been blue and can be again.
Unless I'm missing some deeper joke? Apparently I am unless the down votes are just circlejerking.
EDIT: Maybe you all think the Senate should be determined by population? If so, that's what the House is for. Uncap it.
Never read any of that series but I know it's highly respected so I'll take that as a real compliment!
Californians are welcome to try to split into multiple states if they would like more Senators.
Experimenting with different pens in a sketchbook, I thought it might be interesting to try this contrast. The page on the right was done with the fattest pen from this brand line while the left was done with the thinnest.
If this sub isn't really for sketchbook work, my bad, please just let me know .
Looking at it now, it's possible I posted this upside down 🤷
Brush used on illustration for scale.
Hope you enjoy!
Ah, also, it's butt ugly. Sry to the cartoonist, who is probably very nice, but that plasticky, slick looking tablet screen linework is starting to get to me. It's everywhere.
Art was a mistake.
That is unbelievably irresponsible.
I think it might depend on the State you live in, honestly. Especially when we're talking Ralts (I image searched that shit).
I found the tool I use for scratchboard/paper, so here it is. It looks like a pen, but is actually a flexible little blade.
I hope you enjoy!
Scratchboard sketch (scratchpaper? That's kind of something else. Anyways).
The tool I use looks sort of like a calligraphy pen, but is a flexible blade. I seem to have misplaced it, so, that's annoying. I'll try to include a picture next time.
I hope you enjoy.
I'm realizing folks like to see the tools people use when they draw so I included that this time. It's a brush that's too small tbh (a friggin' size 4/0) but it's nice & I got it for extremely cheap.
Hope you're having a swell day!
This is done on paper that mimics scratch board, but is waaaaaaaay cheaper. Somewhat hard to find without rainbow colors underneath, unfortunately.
Hey, non-representational today. Hope you like it!
I've been post my experimental illustrations over on Pixelfed (@[email protected]) and would like to cross post here, too.
If it gets annoying, mods let me know. Otherwise, I hope you like it!
No? I think I see what you mean, but the States all have equal power in the Senate so its more like tug-of-war and coalition building.
Again, imo, the House is really where California's 500 pound Gorilla status should come into play but the cap means tiny States hold disproportionately waaaaaaay too much sway. The Reds should not currently control the House, not even close.
