Does anyone know the specs on it? Length, diameter, extended length, compressed length, etc. All i know about it is that the gas spring is rated for 50lbs. I’m debating about putting a stronger one in it. That’s why i was wondering about the specs. I’d prefer not to pull it apart just for...
This post bums me out.
Not everyone is made for what it is they have an interest in.
Here’s the thing, I have been a working artist creating and making every day for 20 years. I was showing long before that also. I have been drawing everyday of my life since i could. I, like most self...
I’m also super excited about my new light from @Leonardo, It’s a much warmer light and easier on the eyes. It’s also very well diffused, so no hot spots. I was able to setup my old ring light on a noga stand with a tin can in the center, as an off to the side light. Which also worked very very...
Thank you Mitch! Yeah, the background was the one thing I wasn’t 100% on. I didn’t want a super hard line around the dog, but your suggestion makes would of been it. Always next time i guess. Hahahaha. Thank you for the kind words also.

I love and appreciate all of your replies. I am doing a rotary tattoo machine, steel frame. I am Friends with the builder of the machine and will be very specific about no buffing. I am now very excited to see this thing plated. Again, thank you all.
Hello!
hope everyone is well.
I am doing a commissioned piece that the client plans on it being plated, I am curious to how much detail will be kept/lost, if any. It’s steel, and will be done gold, so I know is multiple metals. I don’t wanna do a bunch of work if it’ll be lost. Any of y’all...
