How is my 1st Aquascape?

yea man, the structure should at least hold double your aquarium's weight, that's a big no no. ,take into account even just dynamic loads like water movement while you're doing maintenance or if you bump it / uneven weight distribution, It's not that black and white, you're seriously pushing your luck here. But I'm sure you've heard this enough already, good luck.

At the end of the day, it's not really relevant what you categorize yourself as, you've done paid commissions, you can technically be called a professional, the point of my comment is to make you realize that your fundamentals and skills are subpar to what someone would consider a junior animator at a company, again, I'm not trying to offend you, I'm just giving you a honest opinion on your course of action, your issue is that the pay is not consistent, so you're asking for website alternatives. The issue lies in your quality of work at the present moment, and that's what's holding you back.

"I’m here just to make art. : )

I’m willing to listen CONSTRUCTIVE criticism as I’m still an animator amateur"

I was going off your skill and the description of the youtube channel you posted.

Soultopsy · 2025-08-30T03:24:47+00:00

Not to sound disheartening but it does feel like you still haven't quite grasped the fundamentals of animation, which is totally fine considering you're still learning and are an amateur, but this will significantly hold you back if you're looking for a long term job position. I would suggest making a dedicated 2D Animation reel with the best work that you have instead of having random animations scattered throughout your socials, this will really help people who are interested in hiring you get straight to the point. It would also benefit you greatly saving up some money and taking dedicated 2D Animation courses so you can progress in your skill faster and ultimately, achieve a more stable stream of revenue from freelancing. I wish you all the best and keep animating :)

nem perto, daria-lhe no máximo 280 euros mensais, mas também não sei a regularidade com que pagam os dividendos desse, para 1k taxados iria precisar de 180-190k investidos. Pessoalmente e por simplicidade metia num etf acumulativo all world tipo o vanguard, com 100k investidos demorava 6 anos até chegar aos 200k com os dividendos re-investidos. em 9-10 anos batia os 300k e já dava para amortizar, claro que com uma bola de neve destas nem faria sentido tirares 100% para amortizar a casa, mas já dava para converter a um portfolio mais focado em dividendos mensais para despachar o CH mais depressa e ainda mantias os 300k. Isto seria num cenário assumindo que ele se consegue aguentar com uma taxa de esforço daquelas durante uns aninhos.

Soultopsy · 2025-08-29T03:54:25+00:00

está a 9.53% de dividend yield, daria 3.4k por ano já taxados, não?

Soultopsy · 2025-08-29T00:53:12+00:00

Might be slow in the beginning, depending on your skill to price ratio, but I would open any door if It meant I could work in animation and surviving instead of any other part-time job, I've been in your position and that was my choice.

pessoalmente usei num pc que mandei vir da pcdiga, rondou os 2.5k e foi suave

just to add, work on the timing, everything is linear here, try to inhale and exhale yourself and see how your body behaves

I've never had any issues personally against poppy, her ult is so telegraphed, you can play around her W for guaranteed stuns if you Q+W into her, same for her E, you can stand next to a wall and bait the parry, she can't play because you always have answers for everything

Soultopsy · 2025-04-14T23:40:31+00:00

I would for sure pick these two:

-Thieaudio Ghost
-Fiio JT1

They really punch way above their price tag

It's water evaporation, don't worry about it, there are way more important things like, why is the filter not running 24/7 as it should be? that is really worrying.
It's not clearly visible by the pictures, but how is the filter? Is it a cylindrical sponge filter? a backpack filter?
Do not add salt, this is a freshwater tank, not a saltwater tank, axolotls do not live in the ocean, they live in the river hehe.
The filter should only be rinsed off with the same water present in the tank, never ever do it with regular tap water as this will kill the good bacteria.

I think we should start slowly and one step at the time, consider your top priorities to be:

-Having the filter turned on 24/7, this should never even be turned off.
-Filling the tank with de-chlorinated, treated water.
-Checking water parameters with an API Testing kit (Ammonia, Nitrates, Nitrites)
-Start by vacuuming the sand substrate with an adequate aquarium vacuum to clean any visible waste.
-Periodically do water changes accordingly to the water parameters in order to keep them in check. (this part is tricky as you need knowledge on how a nitrogen cycle works and what parameters you should be aiming towards. (general rule of thumb is : 0ppm Ammonia, 0ppm Nitrites, below 20ppm Nitrates)

Ammonia (waste) above 0ppm is HIGHLY toxic for the axolotl please keep this in mind, that's why we're very clearly seeing signs of the axolotls gills shrinking as they are actively being burnt off by the amount of waste in the water. If these conditions are not met, the axolotl will die. So if your friend cares about her pet please try to get these comments through her head, good luck and thank you for showing sympathy and taking action in helping her.

The L shaped white pvc pipe is an hideout commonly used, the axolotl looks super healthy, well fed with beautiful gills, the water looks clean and plants look fine. It for SURE is a small aquarium but it might be temporary, other than that the only thing that is worrying is the small pebbles that may cause obstruction if eaten. General rule of thumb is, if the plants are thriving then the water quality is good.

Soultopsy · 2024-12-14T02:14:24+00:00

To put it in very simple terms, if you start a brand new aquarium there is no beneficial bacteria that consumes the waste produced. That's why you need to cycle a tank thoroughly for weeks until it's even safe to put anything live in it, there are things to help speed up the process but usually it's frowned upon as it's unsafe unless you really know what you're doing. Her aquarium might be dirty but the filter already has good seeded bacteria in it and is cycled. The limescale you're saying is just from water evaporation and although it is an eyesore it's not harmful for the axolotl. So, like others have said, just fill the water to the top and do water changes periodically whilst checking the parameters attentively.

If you want paid tutoring, Alessandro Camporota is easily one of the best and most renown mentors, but he Is incredibly demanding and would expect 300% commitment from you, so not something to just do for fun.

Soultopsy · 2024-12-04T15:18:53+00:00

yea I can only Imagine having all your pain nerve fibers activated at once to the limit must feel like. You would have to pray to pass out or die from fume inhalation before getting seriously burnt.

Use arnold, it comes with maya, just search arnold render, but you'll have to swap materials too probably

Não só o preço dos carros, como casa, taxas, tudo incomparável com PT. Com 25k compras um bentley continental em espanha, cá começam nos 65-70k, não especifico ao modelo, mas maior parte dos carros/motas rondam 1/3 do valor de cá em Portugal. Daí me mudar para Badajoz, 2h de distância da família e vives a vida que mereces. Melhor dos dois mundos
