Canvase

Field: Supporter

Faction: none

Weapons: huge paintbrush stylus pen paintball gun Palette knife bucket of water color paint made to look like it's filled with choccy milk

Abilities: Smack - will do about 20 damage to the phighter

Smash - will do knockback and adds 25 damage to the other phighter and depletes 35 shield

Baller - uses the stylus pen paintball gun, shooting about 75 worth of bullets that are paintballs, adds about 50 damage

Chocolate? - will do a massive splash of brown colored paint water, known as 'forbidden chocolate milk', it heals about 45 health to themselves and their teammates

Phinisher: "THINK FAST CHUCKLENUTS!!" - will summon a huge mache paper ball and use the large paint brush as a bat, smacking it at phighters within a near or far range depending where the target is.

This adds 70 damage and depletes 75 shield from the phighters in the targeted area, hits about 3 - 4 phighters

Pros:

very adaptive once you get used to their mechanics

hits tons of damage and is useful against higher shielded phighters like Boombox

funny audio when phinisher plays

higher strength + higher heals

Cons:

speed is lower than average, jump height is pretty low

reliant on teammates to help out

will be unavailable for 5 seconds after doing phinisher

Lore: Canvase had two mothers and one father, she knows about the topic of ployamory. her father died due to an illness and her mothers died in ifferent phights.

she is both homeless and factionless, they made a make-shift home somewhere secluded and calls themselves an "Outcaster", joking that it's their solo faction.

she did come from Playground but no longer associates themselves with the place.

Misc Info:

Canvase is best friends with Vinestaff and Subspace, enjoying both of their companies. they see Medkit as an older figure of sort, mentor most likely.

Canvase is 2nd least best at chess, she does get lessons from Medkit and is slowly getting better

Canvase does about anything that is seen as artsy, this includes baking, she's not as good as Slingshot is. they often help him out by adding art decor to the cafe or cleaning it!

Canvase only has 15 - 20 bux in their wallet, Scythe gives them most of their art materials by stealing. Canvase wants to return the favor but Scythe told the only payback is that she is their muse (Scythe seems to enjoy Canvase's paintings of her and keeps them hanged up in lost temple, sometimes asking for Canvase to paint the other members as well)

nobody knows Canvase is factionless and homeless, they just think she lives in their own small home cause thats how Canvase describes it

Canvase loves body stickers (mostly cutely shaped stickers and bandaids)

Canvase loves to scrapbook and journal about different flowers in inpherno, has made up the whole flower language themselves through stories they've heard about these flowers, her favorite is Lotus and Forget-me-not

Canvase has golden retriever and bunny behaviors

I’ve noticed that Robyn wears expensive jewelry, and she and kody have matching rings. And I have a lot of canvases and frames in my house or so I thought but robyn and kodys house , like literally every inch has art! My stuff is 50 bucks mostly everything is under 100 but theirs I doubt is less than 100. I wonder if kody and robyn are going to be broke now that they don’t have the other wives money coming in.

I'm pretty sure I've made a post about their 'interesting' art collection before, and if I can find it I'll reblog it, but yea a lot of their art is worth thousands of dollars (they buy a lot from one particular artist who does a lot of Mormon-y stuff). I've honestly never noticed any jewelry in Robyn that looked super expensive, but every time internet sleuths look up a ring or necklace one of them is seen wearing it's always over $500 if not in the thousands, so it wouldn't surprise me.

In the last episode of the show, Kody was selling 3 of his cars that I don't think he'd planned to sell bc months earlier bc he was talking about building a big garage for all his cars and toys he "didn't use much". He also planned to build an apartment above it which he offered to Meri, which tells you a lot about where he stood with her lol.

But yea Meri, Janelle, and even Christine towards the end were really making good money and Robyn and Kody were not, so I imagine they'll be down sizing a LOT in the near future. Meri and Janelle's names are still on the land they bought in Arizona, so they're probably stuck funneling money into that until it's paid off, but I'm pretty sure all the other assets that remain are just in Kody and Robyn's name.

I honestly believe that was the reason Kody wouldn't ever break up with any of them himself, because per Janelle he has always been financially unstable yet had a champagne taste. He says it's because of their religion he didn't leave any of them first, but I think that's a convenient cop out bc Meri and Janelle's money funded his entire life.

He Fought At Little Big Horn And A Cincinnati Artist Made His Face Famous

In Cincinnati, everybody called him Joe, mostly. Or Indian Joe if they needed to distinguish him from all the other Joes wandering around the Queen City. He wasn’t young when he arrived in town, at least 70 years old, though he stood straight and tall. He was muscular enough to wrestle a bear onstage at the Kohl & Middleton Dime Museum on Vine Street.

That’s where Henry Farny found him. Farny was a famous artist, renowned for his paintings depicting life among the Native American tribes of the Old West. He sold canvases as fast as he could turn them out and might have been wealthy if he hadn’t been so focused on giving away his money. A memorial after Farny’s death [Enquirer 31 December 1916] summed up the artist’s well-known generosity:

“Anybody down and out had a friend in Farny. It was always the under dog, the one whose strength and fortune were less happy than others, that Farny’s broad mind and heart would give assistance to.”

Farny had made several trips out west, capturing the last fading echoes of the life surrendered by Native Americans under the onslaught of European expansion. His friends claimed Farny was fluent in the Sioux language, but he was at least proficient enough to understand simple conversations. One evening, Farny and fellow artist Martin Rettig attended a show at a local theater. On stage, a family of Sioux performed traditional dances and demonstrated their skill at various crafts. When the father of the family stood to give a speech, Farny leaped out of his seat in outrage. Farny gathered that the Sioux family had a complaint against the government and the unscrupulous manager assured them he would see that they got an audience with the U.S. President. In preparation for the presidential visit, the manager told the family they needed to attend several “receptions” at a series of vaudeville theaters along the way. Farny heard the Father say he was tired of these receptions and would he ever see the President? On Farny’s insistence, the family was given passage home and their “manager” split town.

When Farny saw Indian Joe wrestling that bear for another shady impresario, he got Joe out of that contract and into a job as janitor at the Cincinnati Art Club on Fourth Street. In those days, a janitor was not only a custodian and cleaner, but also what we would call a building superintendent today. The Art Club offered generous flextime and Joe could take off for weeks at a time if a decent vaudeville gig came around.

Farny also learned Joe’s real name, or at least the English translation of it. He was Chief Ogallala Fire, and there hangs a tale. Ogallala Fire was born sometime around 1826 and spent most of his life fighting white settlers encroaching on Sioux lands. According to the Chicago Tribune [3 January 1916]:

“In the days of Indian warfare, Chief Ogallala Fire was known as one of the bravest warriors of the Sioux. History relates that he led his warriors in many raids on white settlements in Wyoming and once defied a detachment of United States soldiers who trapped him in the mountains for two months [until he] finally escaped.”

Ogallala Fire was almost 50 when General George Armstrong Custer led an army against the Sioux in 1876. The expedition ended with Custer and his entire battalion slaughtered at Little Big Horn. Ogallala Fire spent the rest of his life not only claiming participation in that battle, but that he himself had killed Custer in hand-to-hand combat. He certainly had battle scars consistent with a life as a warrior. According to the Chicago Tribune:

“In ‘Custer’s Last Fight’ Chief Ogallala Fire received two bullets, was slashed across the head with a saber in the hands of an officer, and was pinned to the ground from a bayonet thrust through his shoulder by a soldier.”

After that battle, Chief Ogallala Fire resigned himself to life on a reservation and might have stayed there the rest of his life had not show business come calling. Charles A. Eastman, an American Indian physician known as Ohiyesa among the Dakota Sioux, recalled meeting Ogallala Fire:

“In 1892, I scarcely believed that he would ever leave the reservation, but in his latter days he was caught by the white man's vices, the love of money and the desire for ‘fire-water,’ coupled with the old habit of wandering. He traveled in this country and abroad with Buffalo Bill.”

After a triumphal engagement at the Chicago World’s Fair, Ogallala Fire hit the road with Buffalo Bill and other Wild West shows, eventually settling into the bear-wrestling act that brought him to Cincinnati. Whether his thirst for liquor was any stronger than the average Cincinnatian is a matter of dispute, but Ogallala Fire was occasionally arrested for public drunkenness here. He was also arrested frequently just because the police were looking for someone who looked like an Indian and he fit the bill. This harassment repeated so often that Farny, weary of getting his innocent friend released, fired off a testy note to the mayor.

One day, when Ogallala Fire had been on the road with one of the Wild West shows, Farny hosted several friends in his studio. They heard some strange chanting rising from the nearby stairwell. According to the Enquirer [31 December 1916]:

“Farny, after listening for a few seconds, with sparkling eyes, grabbed a tom-tom, and, beckoning his friends to follow him, began to dance in true Sioux fashion around the large studio, all the time beating the tom-tom. The music outside grew stronger and stronger until the door was swung wide open and an Indian appeared beautifully garbed. He leaped into the room and dancing like mad with occasional shrieks of joy thus expressed his delight over his reception. It was Joe, as the tribe called him, ‘Ogallala Fire,’ the old favorite Sioux model of Farny’s whom he had not seen then for a long time. Farny was indeed glad to have him again, a fact accentuated by the gold piece he bestowed upon him immediately.”

Farny painted multiple portraits of Ogallala Fire and incorporated his likeness into dozens of other paintings. Other Cincinnati artists including John Hauser also employed him as a model. As the Wild West shows faded in popularity, Ogallala Fire found work in the nascent motion picture industry, appearing in several early silent films.

It was the Chicago Feature Film Company, shooting an “oater’ with b-list actress Lily Branscomb that brought Ogallala Fire to Chicago around 1914. He ended up staying there at the home of a granddaughter. One day, after a long illness, he asked for a razor and sliced his throat. Despite medical intervention Ogallala Fire died, aged 90, a week later. The old chief once told Charles A. Eastman/Ohiyesa:

“Friend, I have engaged in more than 100 battles, but never have I been bewildered except when I entered a city of the white man. There my spirit is lonesome, as it never was on the uninhabited prairie. The people seem to me more like bears and wolves.”

No offence to super duper smooth detailed styles ur cool af too i just CANT do that with mi style

4.I used to lie a lot. Like a lot lot. On one job i basically had the entire separate personality made up so i would've been more "cool and accepted" cause no way girl like mi likes to spend her Friday nights at home alone. No lying here tho lol Hell is the place for spilling the truth

[doctorsiren]

another round of testing textured canvases

[sundogscoops]

Would you take commissions and how much would they run? (Ex. Something similar in style and size to what you have in Kofi shop right now, except an animal of my choice).

im hopin to offer a couple blank canvases eventually~ I'm thinking something like

4 small canvases at 50

3 medium canvases at 80

and 2 large canvases at 120

I'll make a post when I solidify the plan and get the canvases/paint together

[weaselle]

reminder that in the truest business calculation the cost of materials and time includes the materials and time spent on learning projects that were never put up for sale, without which the current projects would be impossible.

this means, for example, if you start off painting, you have to take the cost of all the canvases and paint and hours you used up getting good enough to sell your work ,and you have to split that amount up across all your sellable pieces for an amount of time that makes sense for your business.

Or let's say you're starting out sewing. You go low end for your first sewing machine and spend $100 on it

Then you spend 2 years practicing and making things for yourself and your friends. At ten hours a week assuming you skip a week each month on average for various reasons, that's 80 hours over two years (which lets be honest, is lowballing but i'm going for easy math). We'll agree your labor is worth $15 an hour at this stage, which comes out to $1,200 and let's say you average $3 in materials each sewing project and over 2 years you do about 50 projects.

Now you're good enough to start selling things but you're also good enough to need a better sewing machine and your old one is wearing out because it was cheap. You buy a pretty good one for $200

So far, before you've even made your first sellable item, you've invested

$150 on raw materials $300 on machinery $1,200 in labor = $1,650

now you decide how long is acceptable to make that money back. We'll say a year. After a year you expect other costs like a website or additional equipment and a cost of living raise, and you don't want to start piling too many costs up.

say you start selling in a physical location, some kind of maker's market that meets two weekends a month and you ambitiously hope to sell ten items each weekend, but you'll miss two months due to illness, travel, scheduling conflicts etc, so that means you're hoping to sell 200 items your first year.

that means before anything else, you start off with a cost of $8.25 per item before you even buy the thread for the first thing you hope to sell.

NOW you buy $4 worth of materials to make a blouse in 3 hours (a reasonable time for a relatively simple blouse) and at this point you value your more experienced labor at $20 an hour, so you should be charging

$8.25 in up front investment recoup $4 in raw materials $60 in labor = $72.25

AND the same thing applies to the time you spend setting up your website, or researching makers markets, time spent manning a booth or dealing with online customers: that's all labor you need to be reimbursed for also, to the best of your ability to calculate; i ran a quick guestimation and came up with about another 4 bucks to add to each item

fair final price of the blouse you made: $76

that does mean that after a year you could technically start selling the same blouse for about $68 but as noted you're probably going to have other costs by then. How you manage all that at that time is, literally, your business. But that's how you arrive at a true cost.

it’s never too early to teach children about the devaluation of labor!

The Versatility of Body Kun Figures: Perfect Tools for Artists of All Levels

Artistic expression is a dynamic process that evolves with practice, experimentation, and the right tools. Whether you’re a budding artist or a seasoned professional, having versatile tools in your arsenal can significantly enhance your creative journey. One such tool that has become indispensable for artists across the globe is the Body Kun figure. These highly articulated figures provide an excellent reference for drawing, painting, and even sculpting, making them a must-have for artists at every level. In this blog, we’ll explore the versatility of Body Kun figures and how they can complement other essential artwork tools like art paint brushes, paints, and canvases to elevate your artistic practice.

1. A Perfect Reference for Anatomical Accuracy

Capturing the human form accurately is a fundamental skill for many artists. Body Kun figures are designed with precise anatomical details, making them an ideal reference tool for studying human anatomy. These figures are fully articulated, allowing you to pose them in various positions to study muscle structure, body proportions, and movement dynamics.

When working with mediums like the Metallic Acrylic Paint from Body Kun, these figures can be posed in dynamic stances to explore how light interacts with the human form. The metallic sheen of the paint can highlight muscle contours and create realistic shadows, adding depth and dimension to your artwork.

Explore the Metallic Acrylic Paint

2. Enhancing Composition and Perspective

One of the challenges artists face is creating compositions that are both dynamic and well-balanced. The versatility of Body Kun figures makes them an excellent tool for planning out complex compositions. Whether you’re working on a character design or a detailed scene, these figures can be adjusted to replicate any pose or action, helping you visualize the composition before committing it to paper or canvas.

For instance, if you’re using the Calligraphy Reusable Paper Roll, you can pose the Body Kun figures in various stances to practice figure drawing or calligraphy strokes. This practice allows you to experiment with different perspectives and compositions, ensuring that your final piece is well-structured and visually appealing.

Shop the Calligraphy Reusable Paper Roll

3. Inspiring Creativity and Exploration

Beyond technical skills, Body Kun figures are a fantastic tool for sparking creativity. By experimenting with different poses and scenarios, artists can explore new ideas and concepts that they may not have considered otherwise.
