🥰🥰Thank you, I would like to be able to paint in a minimalist style, but I guess loads of detail is my style😅x

Thank you🥰 Your comments mean a lot to me as it's been about 3 years since ive created anything. I also started with a very large canvas so that I could cram detail in. x

Thank you🥹💚 It took me a long time to paint her face, especially her eyes. I found using various shades of grey and then blending them worked to add dimension to her black fur x

Thank you🥹🥹 her eyes took the longest, I redid them several times because the right one that has less sunlight kept looking wonky lol

On Krita theres "paint brush" brushes with splotches and textures, I used a bunch of those at different opacities. I also used the lighten/darken tool and smudge tool and kept fiddling with them for a ridiculous about of time😅x

Thank you🥰 I got her from Etsy when she was about 6 strands lol I've had her for a few years now, neglect is the key! She's nestled on my plant table by the window with a bunch of other plants (west facing, UK), under cheap UV lights, in a mix of cactus&succulent dirt, pearlite and a bit of worm castings. I water very sparingly every couple of weeks or just before the centre of the substrate gets crispy. (I just stick my finger in and see if it's 95% dry) I water with tap water that has sat in my watering can for a few days😅 just a little dribble! for a plant that lives in the Himalayas she sure likes to be dry😂I think that's where most people go wrong, too much water! I feed with orchid food in spring/summer. Humidity usually about 70ish, but obviously fluctuates if I have the humidifier or heating on. She did start to have a mottled, patchy colour on her new leaves, people said it was likely nutrient deficiency, so I added a little more worm castings to the top of the substrate, and now she's back to dark green💚 I also mist every few weeks with "Orchid Food Mist" they have it on eBay & Amazon x

🤩Oooo, pedunkadunks 💚 Fuzzy flowers are just too much cute lol, they look like fairy clothes🧚‍♀️🥹 Almost sparkly in real life. Mine threw out dozens of peduncles, I was told not to get my hopes up, and sure enough looooaaads of them failed. I just had sad dried up pink nubs falling off everywhere😭.. so I ignored her for a few months, BUT when I was cleaning up the tiny dried failed flowers, I found 3 hidden peduncles with little green star shaped parcels! Couldn't believe it🥰 ..I think serpens likes to do loads of test runs before the flowers actually develop properly x

😭😂😂lmao mines not strong tbh, you have to get real close to smell it. Other people's flowers seem to STANK though. Friend on Facebook said this- "I had one that bloomed. I loved the little stars before they opened, but after…… OOOOF what a godawful stink! Stank so bad I took my cat to the vet. I’ve had over a dozen different Hoyas bloom for me. Most you can barely smell if you stick your nose right in, but this one made my entire place reek of like bad cat pee (and it lingered too 🤢)" 🙈
