I Did Did Some Works For A Colledge Assignment Project Where I Added Ghosts To Photos Of Abandoned Places

Made this sticker when we had blackouts and no electricity/water here in Ukraine. It is fine where i live now, but there are othere regions that still have it very tough :/

Shitting on Russians is as good a reason as any. Truth is, there really are a shit TONN of bots, and there are straight up troll farms in russia (but I feel ai might take like half their jobs in the future, if not already. Poor fucks).

So this theory comes way less from "this specific post/thing/conspiracy comes from bots"

and way more from "if I was a russian troll, I would 100% be do this" and "if Russian bots are spamming shit everywhere all at once, they probably are spamming conspiracy theories cus GOSH is it a fertile ground for запудрити ватнікам і бумерам мізки"

I have one crazy conspiracy theory that I 100% believe in, and it's it's that:

Russia created and spread most of those "flat earth" "lizard people" "harmful vaccines" "fluorite water" "5G" conspiracies (And hundreds of other "trust no one, everything's fake"-type conspiracies) through the sheer amount of bots that they have, on Facebook and other social media. I genuinely believe it's the Russian propaganda machine that started and fueled those "Flat Earth"- type conspiracies, either as an experiment to see how susceptible people are to propaganda, or as a means of making people not trust scientist or anyone around them and start arguing that "Maybe 2+2 isn't 4? Maybe we should question things like that?".

I genuinely,

in my heart of hearts,

believe,

that the "Flat Earth" theory started with two russian trolls betting on a bottle of vodka and a 500 rubles after one of them said:

"I could convince those bitches that the earth is flat if I wanted to!"

And the other said:

"Nah, Vasia. You're drunk. They may be stupid but not that stupid"

And the first said:

"You don't believe me? *hiccups* I'll show ya! I bet my whole next month's salary to you!"

That is my conspiracy theory. That it's Russia who mostly creates crazy conspiracy theories about world control, mind control and distrust... in order to control people, influence their minds and make them distrust everything.

I found these plastic dinosaur minies and decided to paint them to look like Lucky and Wuerhosaurus from paleo pines & and i will show you all the steps in case you want to do something like this yourself

This was my firs time painting minie figures and i tried using the same techniques people use for DnD figures so you can just look up those tutorials on youtube.

I found these ugly plastic dinosaurs on at a flee market for like 5 hryvnias and this is how they looked before their makeover:

First thing i did was wash them with soap and strip off all the spray paint from them using polish remover/acetone, untill they were this weird yellowish plastic color. (Idk if this step was necessary but i wanted to romoves all the dirt & dust so the paint sticks better)

Then i painted them fully with a dark color. I dont advise using pure black. I used a more dark-ish grey with a bit of blue so the undertone works better.

By the way here are these mfs near a match (for size comparison ofc).

Next i dry-brushed them with a cream color to bring out the texture and leave the dark color in the creases and shadows. I had to go over with a few coats so that they were not too dark.

Fore some reason they made these guys all wrinkly instead of scaly but it did help with the texture lol.

(The more i looked at them the more i saw how weird and inaccurate they are. Still cute though)

And the last steps were to cover them in colorfull washes:

The key is to go slowly, building up the colors layer by layer. I also added a bit of different hues in some places to make the colors less more alive (like a bit of pink on the plates, or some green in certain places idk it just gives more variety to the colors. with out it it the colors look a bit monotonous).

Also, seriously go play the game!!!! it`s just so cute. Dinosaur designs are cutified but still faithfull to how the animal looked according to science (minus the pastel colors lol) and you just know that it was made by true dinosaur lovers.

They do have a tumblr blog at @paleopinesofficial but i see their content more on tiktok

Fun fact: If you ask Deep Seek about Tiananmen Square in English or most other languages, it says it can`t give you an answer...

But if you ask it in Ukrainian though...

This is something of a ref sheet i made for my OC Katta who`s kind of a main character from my story. It`s follow-up to that WIP i posted earlier. I was planning on coloring it on a "multiply" layer but for now i might as well post it as it is.

It`s old, no idea why i havent posted this yet, i`m pretty proud of it

Beetle of the day: HERCULESE BEETLE!

I already have some cool bugs in mind for next drawings. People suggested some sick ass bugs i didn`t even know existed! Definitely will post more if i find time between homework

Lil guys incoming! Just a sneak peak of my WIP. I`m experimenting to see if i like them more with outlines or lineless :)
