Hm... may I deduce you are a dude with a daughter? 'cause it's really specific how all older generations are -fathers, but the younger ones are -daughters. ;)

Where's "Father" in your list? And it's only six generations.

Reply to comment by bstabens in Is it possible for two planets to orbit each other in a way where Planet A is tidally locked to the sun while Planet B is in geostationary orbit on the dark side of Planet A, thus putting Planet B in a constant total solar eclipse? by FenrirButAGoodBoy
Scratch that, just thought about it. Of course the dust disk where the planets come from would be slower on the outskirts and fastest at the center.

As in that's a physical law? Or just we don't have examples to the contrary?

Ehm, no, and you are right - having the same side to the sun always doesn't amount to nothing.
No, I was thinking more like two planets, close orbits, the outer slightly faster so it never really leaves the shadow of the inner. But I guess it is physically not possible to have a (two?) stable orbits of two big masses so close together that you'd see the shadow? I mean, even with the moon earth's shadow is so blurred the moon never gets black, just red.

In a scenario where planet B is perpetually in planet A's shadow, wouldn't that mean both planets are in a tidally locked orbit around the sun and not the one around the other?
As in, yes, that scenario is possible, but not with the requirements you want?

Reply to TIL that when the French first arrived in North America they met the Ojibwe Indians who introduced them to other tribes but used nasty names. The Lakota/Dakota people were called "Nadowessiwag," which became Nadouessioux in French, then Sioux in English. It means "little snake." by marmorset
I've read somewhere that nearly all tribal people refer to themselves as a variant of "people" or "humans", but the neighbouring tribes get all kinds of pejorative names. Ah, humanity...

This is good and an interesting style. Maybe you could improve a bit on the shading, especially below your eyebrows you have two distinct planes of shading. Try to not have shading side-by-side, but always a continuos plane of strokes. To darken it, you can then go cross-wise or set more, shorter lines between the already existing. Think of layering the shading, not putting it side-by-side. Shading also looks better if it is not the backnforth-motion with the small loop at the end, but clean strokes with a straight direction. Makes it look more professional in an instant.
Also, try to replace the continuos lines used for limiting edges like the lips, eyes, nose with a very dense, tight shading. It instantly takes your drawing up several levels. On the other hand, the way you used the lines to define your dreads looks very interesting. Play around and find your style with that.
You have the proportions right, the fall of light on your face, you can convey a feeling with your sketch. You're on a great path.
