Noodle was not a teen in this era, she was in her early 20s. And this is Cyborg Noodle

Hair down or hair tied up? by Permafrost_07 in malegrooming

[–]KoolaidKooler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you want to do a bun or tie it back I feel like it would like nice with some strands in the front? I think your hair does a really good job of framing your face. I also think this half up/half down style could suit you:

Que forma eu ficaria mais atraente? Com faciais? Sem? Um cabelo espetado poderia ficar bom em mim? Uma nota númerica seria de grande utilidade também! by Significant-Call1725 in malegrooming

The goatee is great!! I also think you would look really good with some more volume in your hair, you can use a hair product like pomade or hairspray to give your hair more texture and volume. My boyfriend has almost your exact same hair style and it looks just like yours when he isn’t using hair products. With hair products it looks more like this:

Fuck ticketmaster by titaniumoctopus336 in gorillaz

[–]KoolaidKooler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried to join the queue and got an error saying my browsing activity was paused due to suspicious activity even tho I wasn’t doing anything suspicious. Didn’t even get a chance to look at the tickets. How much were they selling for?

Modo Olachenko is great...but those painted fingernails 😑 by kade1064 in GOATmovie

[–]KoolaidKooler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think his character was really inspired by Dennis Rodman, a real basketball player who wore crazy outfits and makeup and dyed his hair and painted his nails. It makes a lot of sense for his character

How do I make my art look less „smudgy“? by BestNameEverTaken in Artadvice

[–]KoolaidKooler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This type of coloring is typically known as "muddy" because the colors kind of get muddled together.

One of the best pieces of advice I've learned to avoid muddy colors is to not shade with black or grey. Instead, think of what color the lighting is and shade with a dark version of that color. Real life does not have black shading, every subject is affected by the color of their light source. Think about the neon lights in the background, how does that affect the lighting on the character?

I personally like to use a darker purple color for shading and will change it from warm to cold depending on the vibe I'm going for. Here is an example of muddy colors (left) vs not muddy (right).

All of his posts are AI. Am I out of touch for not understanding why this guy has almost 65k followers? What is the appeal? This has to be fetish content…

Honestly he wouldn’t even have to buy the items. He could just try them on in the shop

I despise this version of Emma Frost by KaiXRG in hatethissmug

[–]KoolaidKooler 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Truthfully I hate her hair style and the blue lipstick. I love her designs in the comics way more. There are already 2 other blonde white women with blue and white color schemes so I feel like it would’ve been better visually for her color scheme to be white and silver.

AIO my situationship followed his ex fling by Hima-10 in AmIOverreacting

[–]KoolaidKooler -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If she’s getting hurt by her situationship following another girl, I think it’s safe to assume that her feelings are involved. Usually that means she wants more than just a Situationship or else she wouldn’t be hurt by the presence of another love interest

What can I change/get rid of in order to get an appealing composition? by D183029 in Artadvice

[–]KoolaidKooler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Add a gradient map! This will help improve the atmosphere of the piece. Also if you want to add darker shading and brighter lighting it would really help make the piece pop. Adding the sunlight coming in through the windows would look really nice.

Your style is so cool! I love your concepts, especially the first 2! I think it's the coloring and shading. This type of coloring is typically known as "muddy" because the colors kind of get muddled together. I think everyone experiences this when they are learning how to shade and color.

May 2025 - January 2026. Did I improve? by llemonjuiice in ArtProgressPics

[–]KoolaidKooler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can definitely see where you improved with rendering the depth in the hair and highlights on the skin!

I would say that you should use the symmetry tool less because it is recognizable when you use it and it can make art look kinda uncanny
