It means to be caught doing something wrong
What do "or bust" and "for bust" mean here?
Main Post:
I've seen the "or bust" slang before but never quite grasped the meaning of it.
in the second image Lenny(the character in the green sweater) draws the letter F in front of the "or" so it reads "for". He also puts an S at the end of "bust" so it becomes "busts":
"Vegas For busts"
does this even have a meaning? What'd bust mean here?

vegas or bust means
we're going to vegas or we're going to fail trying (bust), basically, we're going to Vegas no matter what happens
vegas for busts means we are going to vegas to see to womens' breasts (busts) because vegas is known for lots of strip clubs
[Help] How do I go about finding an artist to commission a 1:1 bust of myself like a Roman emperor?
Main Post:
I know this is going to cost a pretty penny but I'm dead serious. Anyone know how to find a skilled artist to make a marble bust of myself like the portrait of caracalla? What should I look for in their portfolio?

The shiflett bros facebook group would be a good place to start. I suspect you could get one nicely made for about 2-3k.

Not to mention the similarities to Ariel, which is fitting since they were both the balance guardian. Neat.
Creating a Roman Bust of a real person?
Main Post:
I was hoping to get some advice from the AI artists here. My dad asked me to see if I can use AI tools to create a picture of a typical roman marble bust with the face and hair of my mother.
I took the challenge and have been trying out different methods (mostly img2img in stable diffusion 1.5).
I have SD 1.5 and a ton of models, I wonder if someone has a tip how to do this?
Many thanks in advance for any helpful tips!

Use text2img with a prompt for a marble roman bust (I'm not going to make guesses about the exact best prompt for this -- you should experiment), and then use the controlnet depth model. If you can use Marigold as your depth pre-processor, that's the best option by far.
It should pick out the features of her face and render it in marble.

[Found] Provenance/artist of this bust of a young girl?
Main Post:
I could use some help identifying this marble bust, which has been in my family for so long no one has any idea where she came from. There are no identifying marks on it. It used to be on a thin marble pedestal that was probably not original to the piece as it was clearly different stone, in any case it was no longer capable of supporting her.
I'm relatively positive it's from the late 1800s or early 1900s based on style and topic, but that's about as much as I know. It's probably American as my family has been here for many generations, and they were all farmers so I doubt they were paying for imported art (though I could be wrong). I did not see another sub like r/whatisthissculpture so hoping someone here as an inkling.
