I'm supposed to wait for my poll to be over but I'm impatient.
If I was selling art what would you pay for:
1. High effort full renders
2. Flat color
3. Just a sketch
[I can't ID all of these. I'm sorry. I don't have the brain power to do it.]
The sketch isn't in my usual style but it does show what they usually look like in terms of construction and color. I can also do style variations with brushes and coloring methods, glitch effects which can be seen in some, and a lot of other stuff when I actually open commissions. But for any of these, what would you be willing to pay that wouldn't feel like you're getting ripped off or like you're robbing an artist?
Finished commissions will also look better because these are protected by Glaze. I don't normally disclose this because I want AI scrapers to fuck up their models but so potential buyers know that their commissions won't be noised over like this unless they want a glazed version (which would be free, only additional fee is a wait time), I'm disclosing it.
I'm horrible with pricing and I would really like some help figuring this out. Thank you!
Reblogs are appreciated but never required

Crafty Batkids
Literally. Just batkids doin' crafts. As someone who does..... way too many crafts to list here (I'll send a list if asked but just trust me) I feel like I've gotten a good feel for this.
Dick
My man grew up in a circus, regularly checking ropes and tensions....
Macrame. He's a pro at macrame. Maybe he doesn't do it often, but like. For his friends, he'll sometimes surprise them with lil gifts.
When any of his Titans buds move he makes them those fancy hanging macrame plant holders. Donna and Kori both love them, and have been known to fight over them during white elephant/dirty Santa type gift games.
Probably doesn't have the ability to sit still for long periods of time, so can't do anything that'll unravel if he puts it down. It takes him a long time to finish a project, so he really only buys materials as he starts a new one, and doesn't have any excess stuff lying around his apartment.
Jason
You cannot tell me he doesn't crochet to unwind. Like. Idk if he's any good at it, but he def angry crochets.
Probably has been working on one scarf for like five years
Never has consistent stitches
Likes touching all the yarns at the store
Probably just enjoys squishing the yarn in general tbh. It's slightly more satisfying than ever actually doing anything with the yarn.
Cass
One time Bruce took her to like. Silver Dollar City or somewhere else that had someone with a loom, and she was fascinated. She made him buy her a shawl and then made Tim put together a power point about why she should have a loom.
Bruce ended up caving and buying her one that's skinnier, for like table runners. It's great, because she's mostly fascinated with making gradients in her weaves.
She learned Swedish Weaving (it's a like an embroidery/weaving hybrid) so she could embellish her works.
Mostly gives them out as gifts. She gave one to Selina, who guards it possessively. Harley tried to borrow it once and about lost her fingers.
Probably also learned to make little tassles for the ends
Tim
Attention to detail? Obsession over the minutia? Oh. You know my boy is an epoxy resin artist.
Has a crafting station in his room that's meticulously organized. There's cubbies for pigments, flowers, glitters, bits of ribbons and strings, etc etc
Probably makes all kinds of thing tbh. Phone cases, trinkets, you name it. But pens are his favorites, because they're both simple and practical. There's like a whole army of pens that just... keeps growing in Titans Tower because he always forgets where he's put his.
None of his teammates realize he is the source of the pens. They (Kon, Cassie, Bart) just think the pens are an infestations and/or are pairing up and making baby pens. But Cassie and Bart love them bc ✨aesthetics✨
Probably has a tik tok or an insta where he posts videos of himself de-molding things to soothing lofi tracks. Literally just. All the vibes. It's gorgeous.
Steph
Also all the vibes. She is a bujo/stationary queen.
Her collection is much messier than Tim's, but has a surprising amount of overlap. Sometimes they borrow things from each other, and have collabed on their social accounts (he makes journal covers, she makes them into notebooks, he supplies her with pens, she uses them when making a weekly/monthly set up, etc)
Stickers and glitter everywhere
Probably sponsored.
Canonically draws cute little cartoons in the comics, they absolutely are a regular on her socials and in her bujos.
Duke
For some reason I don't peg him as being as craft-oriented as his closest-in-age sibs? He probably has less expensive coping mechanisms tbh
That being said I can see he would enjoy those stores where you go in and paint pottery and they kiln/glaze it for you? Like he isn't into sculpting it himself, but painting the little kitchenware pieces or statuettes is relaxing.
He paints mugs for all his sibs on their birthdays, and for Alfred.
Alfred probably has a whole army of custom mugs made for him by the kids, now that I'm thinking about it. Like half of them are from Duke, because he doesn't know what else to do with them. There are just so many because it's so simple.....
Kate Kane, Tatsu Yamashiro, and Jeff Pierce also all have mugs. Actually... Lowkey highkey I can see that Tatsu might have introduced Duke to this kind of stuff in the first place? I can see that she would enjoy something simple that you can do while trying to clear out your mind.
Damian
Well. Damian is a gifted artist, but this translates differently into actual crafts. It just does.
He's probably a good printmaker. Not only does this take advantage of his art skills and keen attention to details, but it's one of the oldest artforms still in practice today. Most printmakers develop their techniques by perfecting one of several forms of the art, which have been passed through generations, and have a really firm grip on art history. Those stories would appeal to Damian, in addition to the craft itself.
Damian is the most likely of his siblings to be able to sit still for prolonged periods of time and do a repetitive motion. In fact, it may actually be something he can enjoy if it means he can just zone out for a bit. So, he's probably actually decent at spinning yarn. If the sky is grey and rainy, he drags out a wheel and some pre-sorted rolags and spins yarn, exclusively for Cass, who then weaves it. He enjoys the progression of colors in the fibers as much as she does, and they bond over it.
The feeling of different fibers slipping through his fingers is also really soothing. Bad day? Time to spin some merino, because it slips like water through his touch. Need to feel grounded? Time to spin a cotton blend, because you have to be present enough not to chafe your hands on the rough fibers...
Probably also really good at embroidery, for the same reasons. Plus, it's really satisfying to feel and hear the pbt-psht, pbt-psht of the needle and thread pulling through the taut fabric.
Bruce
Obviously knows how to forge/metalwork. I like to imagine he's also dabbled in lost wax casting.
Probably has little trinkets he made when he was younger scattered around the house. Maybe he donated a few to charity auctions.
Has made rings/jewelry pieces. But doesn't talk about them. (One ring went to Selina, and a pair of earrings went to Talia)
Alfred
The all-talented, all-knowing. There's probably nothing he can't do. He already sews all their outfits. So I mean.
Sometimes it feels really good to have something to stab. I'm not saying he does needle felting, but I'm not saying he wouldn't.
Probably was the one who taught Bruce about lost wax, and the one who helps Damian research about printmakers.
Silently supplies all the kids with all the art things.
Has a chest in his room filled with all the things that he's been gifted with over the years. There's little uneven macrame hanging from when Dick was just getting the hang of it, lumpy scarves that are too short for anyone to realistically wear from Jason, linen sets made by Cass, various trinkets from Tim, handmade cards and notebooks from Steph, mugs from Duke, and old embroidery pieces from Damian in unevenly stained hoops.

How a Bedini SG Motor Works
I'm going to explain how a Bedini motor in this case a simplified schoolgirl motor or otherwise known as SS 3 how it works now I'm going to try to put this in very simple terms a lot of people have asked me how these work and for an instructional video on how to make them well first I'll explain how this works and then the next step will be to explain how to make a Bedini motor this is very simple this is you can use any type of a wheel to begin with anything that rotates it has a bearing and notice it spins very freely john Bedini the inventor says if you've give it a spin and it spins for five minutes freely now nothing is attached to this right now he says if it spins for five minutes freely just because of its own weight then you've got some good bearings to use for this now this was a lawnmower wheel and I originally had a junk one I used to sitting in front of the TV and spin it by hand back and forth back and forth back and forth for hours until they loosened up the bearings enough later I bought this new wheel which now looks as junky as the old one did anyway but this is seven years old this little bit Dini motor and it's the same thing but what I did is again I work the bearings so even if you don't have free bearings like this that's been so freely you can work your bearings put some oil and spin them oil put some oil and spin a while and eventually have some nice free bearings my bicycle wheel works just as well because you can loosen up the bearings inside then anyway that's the basis you have to have nice loose free bearings to work with now these magnets are 1 inch by 2 inch rectangular radioshack ceramic magnet they're about a dollar I can't remember it there they're a dollar apiece or a dollar for two I can't remember but they're cheap you do not want high-powered magnets you're not making a generator here you're making a radiant energy device so the magnets should be weak ceramic magnets again RadioShack one inch by two inch one inch wide by two inch long but I think a quarter inch thick these are perfect for this project now I'll show you the coil usually about 800 turns of wire on here there's two strands of wire I think it's 18 gauge and 23 gauge if I remember correctly but I'll have to check my specs to be sure on a plastic spool with a hollow core which is stuffed with our Lincoln r60 welding rods or as I did painted strands of baling wire jammed in until I could fit no more I had cut pieces of baling wire laid him out in a sheet spray painting them you do not want them to conduct they have to be soft iron but you do not want them to conduct that's the cores inside here inside the middle of the spool if you don't understand a coil you can google it and see how a electromagnet coil works that's basically the same principle or a generator coil this is basically the same principle but anyone keeping us very simple for now now how this works and how this is different from a motor is that yes it requires some energy to keep it going see I can spin it now and it will slowly wind down on its own it'll stop but the difference was this is it doesn't actually do a lot of work it can do work I've had this hooked up to a fan blade which was blowing air in a box fan frame which you can see in an old video of mine but the general idea is to collect the radiant energy so now I'll explain how this little device works I hope the light in here is bright enough I can tell until I actually get to do the video so forgive me here if it's not super bright d there are two coils here there's one which is called a trigger coil and the second is called a power coil the trigger port coil is set up so it turns on a transistor which is right here which then conducts and there's where your 12 volt power comes from your battery from your input battery that power flows through the transistor through the power coil which repels the magnet I'm getting ahead of myself here we have coming around this way a magnet starts to come towards the coil it reaches a certain point of course the magnet induces some energy in the coil which is normal that trigger coil then turns on a base of a transistor which is like a electronic switch and the base of transistors would be your finger turning on and off a light switch so the magnet energizes a coil which turns on this electric switch this transistor which allows energy to flow from another a powering battery through the power coil which is a bigger coil and then that's energized the content in the meantime this magnet is spinning this wheel is spinning now the power coil is energized and as timed in such a way that now the power coil is repelling the magnet and pushing it onwards a certain point the might has passed the trigger coil no longer inducing a current in the trigger coil which means that the base of the transistor is no longer turned on which is like you flipping the light switch off the power from the battery running this device is then cut off and then comes the miracle of this little machine when you put a pulse of energy through a coil we all know from science that there's this expanding magnetic field when you take away power from a coil there's a collapsing field goes back down collapses into the coil which is induces occur in opps opposite direction now generally we ground this out in all standard motors the difference with this little guy is that then we take and pass that current the collapsing field through a diode and into a another set of batteries which are to be charged now the amazing thing is this what is generally called back EMF is a field of radiant energy which can be as much as anywhere between 100 to 400 sometimes even 800 volts of energy pulses into that other battery that you want to be charged and that's the amazing thing about this what distinguishes this from any standard motor yes this can do some work you can run a fan with it you can power very small devices with it but that's not what this is about this is about producing radiant energy actually that's the wrong word you're not producing anything there's a field of energy around us and I'm putting this in very simple terms because I don't even understand the physics there's energy in the air around us there's energy everywhere and this energy is right now in a stable condition it doesn't harm you you are walking through it you exist with it it's everywhere but when you pulse voltage into this field by by pulsing through a coil you are disrupting that flow of energy in this field of energy around us if you get a pulse of voltage with no current which is what happens at the speed that this turns you get superfast pulses through the coil and what these do is these disrupt the radiant energy field and when you tap into this basically some of that follows the collapsing field in through the coil and you can route that into your batteries to be charged I'm trying to put this very very simple and there's physics behind it and all kinds of complicated stuff that I don't even understand like I said but now we'll hook this up and I'll show you very simply how this works now mine looks complicated because I've prettied it up and I've got some nice I've got some nice electronics in here but this is very simple there's a battery power in and there's the power out to your battery to be charged you've got input output I've got a tuning resistor and I've got a little a little grain of wheat light bulb and I'll explain that when I fire this up I have a neon bulb which is connected to the transistor in case you disconnect the power to your battery to be charged this'll act as a fuse and stop you from blowing up your transistor but even that is not important at this moment just to show you how this works so I have here a cigarette lighter plug I'm sitting in my offer so what I have is I've got 12 volts coming into the battery box this is the my electric control box but just so you know the only thing important thing is here I have a 12 volt cigarette lighter socket this is a 12 volt battery basically this is RV onboard batteries okay 12 volt battery a cigarette light plot lighter plug so I got 12 volts going into here there let's plugged in that's it that's simple 12 volts in now I've got my output connections running to a battery that needs to be charged now this some of you guys know from my previous videos this came out of the RV and it's sitting at I think six or eight volts right now it I haven't when you touched it in a couple weeks since I've been renovating here but anyway this is really low this has been neglected for seven years and was dry and empty when I picked it up so now I've got the power going to this the power going out to the battery to be charged so I've got my resistor turned down all the way I give this a spin give it a good firm spin you can see this grain of wheat lightbulb glowing now that is an indicator that I've got the sensitivity to high in this coil and this is just any resistor a variable resistor now watch that light as I turn this resistor see I can change the brightness of that little glowing light I want that light to be barely glowing and as the wheel starts to spin up I'll continue adjusting so this light bulb is barely glowing see I can turn a resistor and a light glows more that's the sensitivity of the trigger coil which is basically controlling how much energy flows into this little resistor which is your on/off switch you're controlling the sensitivity of the on/off switch which is allowing power to flow from the run battery through the power coil now what you have here is a series of superfast pulses of energy it's going super fast through this coil and that's tapping the radiant energy field and again there's a massive amount of energy going into this battery to be charged and it's hard to explain much more beyond that without you actually developing and building one of these devices which I'll show you very soon in a video how to do that so let me get my voltmeter here I know I probably won't be able to do this and show you on the meter on the camera maybe I can we're looking at yeah this is awkward trying to do this and hold the thing in front of the camera eight point oopss going up 9.0 8 now it's posting so the the meter is flickering a little bit because we're getting pulses of energy but generally the voltage should be going up a little bit more every few seconds and the voltage of the battery will continue to rise as it starts to D sulfate and become slowly restored I'm sure you've all heard of a battery D sulfate er which I believe they probably work although I've never had one I probably will never own one because this video motor can be built out of junk parts and almost for free the only thing is if you don't have magnets on hand you might have to buy some even the wire can be obtained from an old microwave coil even the transistor could be obtained from an old stereo so everything here could be pretty much obtained for free so that's why I like the Bedini motor it's very simple to use easy to put together and can be made how to jump although I don't advise it for yours first build I do advise and John also advises that you build your first one according to the specs and then you can play around later on and tinker with it and learn how this works but a d-cell fader is simply doing the same thing as s I'm pulsing high voltage putting high voltage pulses of energy into this battery which breaks up the lead sulfate crystals on the plates inside here converts it back into the liquid form and restores your battery's capacity to make it almost like new a d-cell fader I'm not sure if they can restore your battery to like new condition but I new know that with the radiant energy there's also a chemical change going on in your battery the time your battery will become conditioned by this radiant energy and can actually have more energy more usable energy than it did in the day it came off the shelf you got to see it to believe it you have to make one of these and then you'll start to see some incredible results now another cool thing about this device which is you will not see with conventional energy I can string up one battery five batteries ten batteries or 20 batteries on the output and it will not change how much energy it takes to run this motor it will not change the amount of energy that it requires to keep this wheel spinning so the amount of energy going into this and the amount of energy coming out are not proportional this is not a one-to-one battery charger not at all this is not a battery church I hope that explains a little bit how this works
Learn more about the Bedini SG + Learn to build your own.
