Quality looks good to me, nice and crisp. Sometimes videos automatically adjust quality for connection speed - If your connection is struggling or you're downloading, it could affect how the video displays for you. But rest assured, I saw the details on my end and it looks great!

I hope it's ok I posted this here. I'm just trying to 'walk the walk' because in my life, I've been very verbally political but never took action. I think now's the time.

Hey Tech Connect. Big fan here. I wanted to bring visibility to planned peaceful demonstrations against these executive actions in each state's capitol. They're called the 50501 protests. Admittedly, they're kind of organized like shit, but I plan on going. www.reddit.com/r/50501/ for more info.

Thank you for the information and correction, sincerely. I didn't know that. I will say that the list isn't comprehensive. I don't know the accuracy of all of the text dog whistles on it, but the symbols check out with other sources I've seen, though I know for a fact there are more out there.

They've a lot of symbols and always co-opt more. This wikipedia page has a list of symbols to keep an eye out for on people to identify shit heads. Obviously, don't browse at work or in public en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

That might not even be enough though. It's theorized tracking could exist through variations in laser intensity in general, so shades of gray in text resulting in encoding the printer's serial number. Ideally, any pamphlet should be mechanically printed with stamps, screen printing, or print press.

If I could afford my own set, I'd be a rivet counter... on my own set. Everyone else should manifest their own vision of what they want. Crazy that people nitpick like that. At the end of the day, a model railroad is an artform, and art is specific to the artist.

This is gorgeous. Big fan of the stippling, it gives the skull and crown such nice texture. 11/10, would have you tattoo me.

"Radiant". Pigma Micron pens on sketchbook paper. This one started as a doodle, and I thought I'd try stippling. I think it turned out pretty neat. #illustration #pen #ink #sketch

A black and white illustration of a strange creature, mostly composed of massive eye. The eye's pupil is toad-like but vertical. Fungal-like growths emerge from the eye almost in a halo. The shading and texture is accomplished with stippling.

A black and white, pen and ink sketch of a river island in the middle of an ice flow. Many of the island's coniferous trees are fallen over in various directions, but still alive. A larger conifer forest exists in the background on the far side of the river.

#Portfolioday Hello, I'm an Ink & Pen artist who is self taught, I've been working with art for around 3 years, but drawing since my childhood. Fun fact what made me want to draw was the scene in the first Spider man movie, which Peter draws his suit.

Quick intro. I'm Dan. Started drawing again over a decade ago as a mental escape from the FT non art job. These days I am doing almost exclusively pen work and personal pieces. My art is darker and surreal and often is often a look at harsh qualities of organic/technology/ beauty and darkness.

Pen of a feminine figure wreathed a living, twisted organic dress that flows from her torso and spreads out with tentacles as her head is wreathed in a halo with rings of runes around her head as she looks forward with her large bear companion that is wearing pieces of jewelry on itss head, neck and an arm. The sky is full of black stars and clouds.

Pen drawing with two feminine faces structure with long tongues licking an ice crstructure made up of small skull like faces, each if their bodies flowing into the twisted biomechanical shapes that fill the page while a large stone like face stares out from the background

looking up while framed in a circle of arcane symbols and her tattooed arms flowing into otherworldly vegetation
