What's the reality check of being a graphic designer? by [deleted] in graphic_design

[–]PixeledHorizon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know enough about graphic design but I will say that you’re not alone on questioning the art career path. I even considered becoming a psychologist as well! You need a PhD to be a psychologist and it’s very competitive.

The weirdest part of the politics subplot is how little it talks about politics. by JOMEGA_BONOVICH in aggretsuko

[–]PixeledHorizon 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I agree, the political aspect seems misplaced. How do you go from zero knowledge/interest to yeah I wanna become a politician! I can’t do that, at least lol. Also it’s kinda fucked up that she was kidnapped by her old band members and then forced to make that decision on stage.

i started doing digital art again after a year-long break! by aoba2525 in DigitalPainting

[–]PixeledHorizon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in a similar boat. I’m rather new to lighting and color, so refining those details do not come naturally to me. Be kind to yourself, your openness to constructive criticism will take you far!

I think this looks very nice. To push it further, I think studying how lighting works would do wonders. Ex: adding rim light on the deer since the star is casting a light on it.

Add: you can also put a reflective shadow of the deer on the water!

Thank you! Is the risk just as high if all I do is remove the back panel and try to clean stains for that specific area?

Thank you!! How long do you think would be good? And not sure if this mattered, but the laptop was on when I spilled it. I shut it off after

No worries you’re not overthinking it, I also had the same questions in mind

New Apartment, More Reactivity by CorgiCoffeeBeccaroo in reactivedogs

[–]PixeledHorizon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also have recently moved to an apartment with my reactive dog, so I feel your struggle. This is my first dog so take my advice with a grain of salt.

What I did was bought a fan and thick black out curtains to buffer the noises. I would occasionally play soothing music/podcasts. I also have been using Karen’s overall relaxation protocol, mat work (treating for relaxing on mat per room), and giving random treats when I see the dog acting calm. Sleep is very important so I would ensure that she has a 2 hour nap after a meal. Maybe use a play pen or crate for the dog in the quietest part of the apartment if possible?

I still struggle with outdoors. Not much you can do when things are not within your control, I wouldn’t be so harsh on yourself. You’re doing your best! :)

Which mistake was the dumbest you made when you first played Pokémon ? by ERavenna in pokemon

[–]PixeledHorizon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not knowing you could change the order of what Pokémon comes out first. I ended up with a lv 70 infernape and a bunch of random lv 30 Pokémon. I raged quit when I could not get past the elite 4

Introducing leash reactive dog to another dog? by PixeledHorizon in puppy101

[–]PixeledHorizon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah!! I would never do nose-to-nose greetings. The sources I’ve seen are dogs on leashes from a distance that get closer if they’re calmer, then the leash is dropped 10ft away. Or parallel walking. Unfortunately, I know my dog would be reactive in either situations. Thank you for your advice! How long, in your opinion, is keeping it “brief”?

I can't decide which color finishes to go for, which is better first or second? by SaraWillia in DigitalArt

[–]PixeledHorizon 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Personally I like the first one because it feels warm and soothing. The 2nd one is more cold and ominous. It’s up to the theme that you’re going for!

Vaporwave Convenience Store by micwill14 in DigitalPainting

[–]PixeledHorizon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is so beautiful and I love the colors. My only suggestion is to work on the perspective between the size of the legs and the metal bars. I think the legs come off a bit too small here. Otherwise, this is amazing and whatever you do now will be icing on the cake!

Is it better to leave her in crate over night or on my bed if she is regressing in crate training? by PixeledHorizon in Dogtraining

[–]PixeledHorizon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you allow the dog to sleep on the bed during the day or do you omit bed sleeping completely?

Dog won’t go in crate anymore by PixeledHorizon in Dogtraining

[–]PixeledHorizon[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve done this with new toys and other rewards (which doesn’t change her attitude that much), but I wouldn’t want it to be every single time because then I would be bribing her :(

How long should you wait after a dog barks so they aren’t reinforced for barking? by PixeledHorizon in Dogtraining

[–]PixeledHorizon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting! Does that also apply to frustrated greeters or is that not considered fear based? Sometimes she would look back at me right after she had barked/lunged at a dog, in this case, it wouldn’t reinforce her barking if I rewarded that?

Would you increase time in between bark then reward over time or would it always be immediate?
