They paid money for this burn.

Holy shit this is so mean xD

What was it again, ATBGE? Awful Taste but Great Execution.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 54 points 13 hours ago

Well that is both terrifying and also impressive.

I don't have the self confidence to have this done to me.

I don't get how caricatures have persisted: people pay and sit to have someone do Ren & Stimpy OCs of them. At best, it'll look like an insult.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 1 points 15 minutes ago

Hm... Would be cool if I could say some stuff is off-limits. I have a couple of prominent features, most of which I don't mind, but some I have insecurities for. I'd love a caricature focussing on the former while ignoring the latter.

og “roast me”

I've got one of me that was fun and not actually insulting, I worked at Disney across from a caricature art booth and one of the artists world draw nearby Cast Members when it was slow. Although I'm not sure where it is at the moment because it's not actually hung on the wall.

A less bizarre one of a couple could be cute.

I saw Ricky going into a vintage VG shop last year, in Waterloo. I said, "HI RICKY!!"

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

that's pretty cool. I'm too weird to say hi to famous people 😆

Assuming you mean, I have to take myself less seriously. I make fun of myself all the time. I am, by practice, one of the least serious people I know. I just don't like the art and every caricature I've seen is in this style.

Do people actually like caricatures or is it just a thing that sticks around because they were famous, like clowns and mimes?

Maybe they hang it up in their bedroom to raise the difficulty settings on their sex life.

I got my caricature done once as a kid and I'm still recovering. If he'd done me up like this I'd never fuck again.

My game is wack enough as it is. I'm not trying to get into NG++

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 6 points 11 hours ago

But they are all so ugly.

I haven't seen a single one that I thought was funny.

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 36 points 13 hours ago

Beauty is in the eye. Just the eye.

People do these all day at fairs and piers and tourist shit.

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 17 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah but how long does one "portrait" take

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 4 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

10-20 minutes, if that.
The point of saying they do it all day should indicate they make them fast.

[–] Cit@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago

No, you said they do it daily, but didnt mention if they do 1 or 20 per day.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 9 points 12 hours ago

This is adorable. I love it.
