Inkscape help needed...

delroz — Thu, 29 Mar 2018 00:24:36 +0800

Hi Inkscape sifus.

I'm trying to cut a picture of a boy, his hair is a little messy, strands of hair everywhere.

How do you cut the picture together with individual strands of hair? Is there a faster method than to individually draw with bezier tool?

Currently I just made a nice rounded shape on top of his head but it looks fake when printed on a big banner.

Help?

(question: is this business profitable?)
Yes. It is bringing in profit every month. Very good passive income.
If you can open additional days and classes, the profit will increase even more.

(question: why are you selling?)
I will be opening a new education centre in KL city, hence need a partner/new owner to take over Klang centre.

(question: why not keep this running if it is profitable?)
Biggest concern is distance, I live 40km away in KL city. Currently I have to travel to Klang (80km + pay 4 tolls per day) to open shop.
Due to the business model proving profitable for me, hence I will be opening a new centre nearer to my house to manage it more efficiently.

(question: will this be suitable for me? new owner? without experience?)
If you ask any other education business operators, they will all tell you the same thing: "the key is to keep the teachers happy"
If teachers are happy, students will be happy, and in turn the parents will pay happily.
I have flushed out quite a few teachers over the years, my current team is very helpful and very happy. They will continue working for you.

(question: why yours and not others?)
Little time required - minimal days and hours (total of less than 12 hours a week!)
Auto pilot mode - all aspects of the business are running smoothly with minimal involvement from you
Good passive income - profitability can still increase significantly if you open more days (which is why i am opening a new one nearer to my house)
Most importantly, as in any businesses -- nothing is guaranteed. There is still a risk.
So, you will have to feel it for yourself and make a decision.

If you are hyped up and very serious about my Klang centre, get in touch maxis3392016 for further discussion.

need painting tips/guidance

delroz — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 13:56:04 +0800

i painted this valkyrie with tamiya X-3 royal blue with airbrush, it came out with patches of shinny/oily/grainy areas, this was left to dry 24hrs and no finger prints were visible when i press it.

the whole body was sprayed in successive layer by layer, i think this is after 4-5 layers

anyone knows what went wrong, or worse, what i did wrong?

i thinned it as i would normally do, appx 1:1 or 1:2 (1 paint:2 thinner)

i have to admit this bottle of royal blue has been kept for many many years.

dirty lens?

delroz — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 17:23:17 +0800

i'm a newbie to photography, in fact 2 days old. just bought a second hand dslr, naturally been playing with it ever since.

i found a few dark marks on the photos when viewed from my PC. the marks are out of focus and barely noticeable when i use f/3.5 to about f/5, when it reaches f/8 and higher it gets obvious and sharper. eventhough i won't be shooting f/11 - f/22 but it's still really annoying

do you think this is dirt in the lens or sensor? how much does it cost to do a service on dslr at the shops?
