I could even rent myself out at raves as a coat rack. Fashionable and lucrative.

I actually really like that man! heehee -:D

I have altered it a little more...



When I sourced him from the web, he looked like this:



I have no idea who did the original -:unsure:

And started another man panel!!! Maybe you will like him better?



He started out black and white... Inspired by the discussions around whether man's will is free or not ;)
The clearer eyes fixed it.

I'd like to know how to get hair to pile so high on the top like that.
The hair was the first thing I noticed, and then the flared nostril.... Whoa! does anyone see the skeleton!?

Nice pick up. The second thing I saw was the chiseled jaw.

Perhaps the strong chin only lends itself to a suggestion of a chiseled jaw. Otherwise, it seems a bit soft to me, not as chiseled as the brow.

I'm only a chiseled apprentice so I will bow to your expertise.

To me the eyes are very important, so they are the focus (no pun intended -:D) sometimes of a lot
of effort on my part. And since I also like these faces that start out very arty, sometimes having
had many filters and effects applied to them already, the eyes are often chunky and missing the
detail I like to see. With that first man, although I did not mind too much the way his eyes were,
for more clarity I overlaid "real" irises, and reduced the darker spots in the whites of his eyes.
Even if I start out with a basic unaltered real person's face, I will often change the eyes, and/or the
mouth, and/or hair, and possibly add other things as well. I used to construct more of a whole figure...


The skeleton, yes, it is in keeping with the idea that the person who has been set free by Jesus is set free
from death. Through Him we are now yoked to life ever after, whereas before, we were yoked to death.


Here is a couple of examples of faces/figures I have radically changed...

Starting with this image:


From ^ that, to this:

Ephesians 2:10
For my James 4:8-10 panel, I started with this image:




James 4:8-10

I would make avatars of all the teachers and put them on the library website.
At my new school I didnt get time to do this but they already had photos of every student uploaded to their borrowing record. They would have to do new ones every year because children grow up.

Anyway. Back to topic which is laundry. I finally had a fine day to do my washing so the pile has gone down.
My favourite part of laundry is hanging it out to dry on the rotary line. Its a work of art when I do that, and I mostly wear coloured clothes.

I usually wash my clothes every two week. I don't bother to separate anything but just lump it altogether. My wife would gladly do my laundry and has many times in the past but I found that doing laundry is a task that I actually enjoy doing.

I guess that hanging the laundry to dry outside is more economical. Your clothes probably smell fresher too. I like colorful clothes.

I agree, although I do sometimes toss in a color grabber sheet and am surprised at all the colors it grabs.
I never tried those color grabber sheets. Might have to add those to my laundry regimen.

I simply chalked it up to a bad day (and the unbearable heat of summer) and decided to go do my laundry that evening. The manager of the facility is a nice-looking lady who often appears to be a bit stand-offish (I've always assumed that she gets hit on quite often by some of the men who go in there).

Take the opportunities as they come
I did have to bug her about what types of bills I could use in the change machine, but other than that, I left her alone.

Well, about 20 minutes into my laundry chores, she comes up to me holding some loose trash in her hands and says, "I can't believe some people. They bring their trash from their car and just leave it on the chairs."

"That must get pretty annoying," I said.

"Yeah, it is," she continued, "But I'm going to tell my boss, so he can finally do something about it."

Oh, I thought you were the owner."

"No, I am just the manager."

"Oh, that surprises me since you dress so nice and are very professional."




In other words, guys, at some point in your relationship with a woman, you are going to have to have a conversation with her. Sorry, that's just the way it is.

BTW
I did NOT ask this lady out.
If you did ask her out she might of said yes. Maybe she thought of you as a hapless single available guy in need of a little help. The part of your post that I highlighted in read sums it up nicely. It looks like that you are doing alright in this regard.
