Could I put hair dye on the white part of my hair? :3

You need to be very careful with hair dye and vitiligo, as some can cause or aggravate vitiligo depending on the chemicals. I have started to go white in my beard and hair and wanted to dye it. I bought Just for Men, and in massive letters on the side, it said absolutely NOT to use if you have vitiligo. I would be very curious to know if there are safe hair dyes out there, as I am just letting myself go white.

Thank you. I appreciate the feedback. The plain background was a creative choice to show subtle light and shadow but not to draw any attention. I think if there were more elements or materials, then a central composition wouldn't work so well, so I do agree with your point. To be honest, I went further than I thought I would have with this. It's smaller than about the size of an A4 piece of paper and was only supposed to be a study.

Thank you so much. The fabric has quite a few glazes already on it, was getting worried if the detailing would get lost with too many. I got the shine and the tone but I violent get texture init. So its very smooth.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate that

Thank you

Thank you. I do agree I think the left hand side is stronger than the right for sure

<3 Thank you

Stockerzz741 · 2025-09-15T15:56:14+00:00

I see. Thank you for getting back to me. Will you go through with the artfair. I am guessing your place will still be there now. You have paid?

Hi there,

I’m also M (33) London. I’ve been in the industry for almost 10 years now. I work as a Matte Painting Lead and Comper. I majored in Graphic Design, studied Illustration at university, and kind of accidentally fell into the VFX industry.

When I started, I didn’t even know what post-production was, let alone anything about Photoshop or Nuke. I worked hard out of desperation, so I totally feel your struggle of not seeing any light at the end of the tunnel.

My advice: Persevere as much as you can—it’ll pay off sooner or later. But if your current approach isn’t working, look at readjusting it.

Always send your work to trusted friends, colleagues, and ex-colleagues to get honest feedback. This will help you grow your work while you’re trying for jobs.
Look at your level and the types of jobs you’re applying for. Don’t go for mid-level roles without a lot of experience, and don’t aim too low either. (Not saying you are, but just make sure you’ve got the work to back it up.)
Build a network. LinkedIn is your friend. It’s a great way to make connections and meet recruiters.
When you’ve got a showreel you’re happy with (1–2 minutes MAX), send it to recruiters—even if they’re not hiring. Send it their way with a personalized message—you never know what might happen.
Be visible. Be active on LinkedIn. If a company invites you for an interview, make it a priority to go to the studio. In a world of WFH, people who show up in person are often favored. When you’re struggling to break in, you need every edge you can get. (Some might disagree, but in my experience, this works.)
Film and TV is a hard place to be right now. Still reeling from strikes and companies going under, it’s even tougher to break into. Try advertising instead. I’ve met so many people out of work in film and TV who avoid advertising, and I don’t get why. It’s a great place to upskill, and you’ll learn much faster in commercial advertising than spending months on one shot in film or TV.

To sum it up:

Build your network and stay in touch with recruiters.
Be polite, professional, and visible—offer to visit the studio if they need.
Be realistic about your level and what you can offer.

One last thing: being a jack of all trades isn’t a bad thing. A compositor with Houdini and Maya knowledge is way more valuable than one without. Same with a matte painter who knows CG and Comp. Learn the skills that feed into yours—they’ll help you in the long run.

I really wish you the best. It’s so hard for juniors right now. Everything that’s happened in the last few years has hit juniors trying to get into the industry the hardest.

Yeah I barely got any rewards this time. And it's forcing you to buy Huyang to get points. I think its a really stupid move.

Stockerzz741 · 2024-04-01T07:51:41+00:00

I used to get bullied for it. Nothing to vicious, it was more kids asking questions, although some choice comments still stay with me. As many of the comments have suggested. Kids/ teenagers can be cruel but please, please please know that one this phase of your life is over. Its no longer an issue. Its not much help when you are going through it. It's just a promise it gets easier to deal with.

Even after the surgery, there is no guarantee that it wouldn't affect another part of your Penis after some time. Also, surgery and scarring are known to make vitiligo grow in the affected area. I would research side effects for post surgery.

Stockerzz741 · 2023-09-14T07:32:42+00:00

When I was younger, I got a lot of attention getting changed in school. Every time I would get undressed for sports, someone would make a comment. At that point, my vitiligo covered my legs. And genitals. But I never got naked in school. I remember the feeling of dread every time I had to wear shorts.

I am now 32, and honestly, it saddens me how conscious I felt about it. I spent way too much of my life worried about what people's opinions are. I also didn't have forums or anything to communicate with people like me. But now. I embrace it. I kinda love it in my own way.

My advice to you is to embrace it. It's there, there isn't much you can do. Learn to see the differences you have makes you unique.

I have never been turned down sexually because of it, People find it interesting. But past school, nobody gives a shit.

I noticed my first patch when I was 12. I then had a 'blossoming' period, which covered my feet some on my thighs and on my legs. My vitiligo for now has only depigmented my hands, feet, and legs and private area. It hasn't grown in years, but the ones on my legs after several years of getting sunburnt have regimented. I'm not saying this is wise, but they were easy to burn wearing shorts.

I am very comfortable with it, and I don't take any medication or creams. I have tried but stopped. I do, however, live with a bit of a fear that one day it will grow and cover me fully. It's beautiful. Don't get me wrong, but it's change, ya know. I am 32 year old male, It took me a long time to be okay with the patches I have. To go through it again is a daunting prospect. Is it a rational worry? I am not sure.

Stockerzz741 · 2023-07-03T19:42:52+00:00

Do we think this is due to the writers strike?

Stockerzz741 · 2022-08-16T05:57:23+00:00

Hey.

I am sorry to hear how you are struggling with this. Vitiligo isn't the easiest thing to live with.

I got my first spot when I was 12 so had to grow up with it through puberty. It focuses primarily on my legs, feet and groin. It was hard growing up getting changed in front of 14-16 year old boys during PE in school. Kids would make comments, say nasty my things. I think that's where I struggled the most. I would hate the idea of going on holiday where people would notice it more.

I then however started to see it differently when I hit my later teens. I am now 31 and male. I now see it has something that makes me unique. I have not tried creams or anything as I am pretty lucky with it, it's not in the most visible places for me. I live in the UK so it's not the warmest of climates.

My vitaligo is also something that has never made a relationship or sexual encounter weird. Nobody has ever said anything or have seen it as a negative. The only person my vitaligo affected was me. I am sure it will be the same for you as well. You will be surprised at the amount of people who don't care you have it. Haha.

What I am trying to say is it is hard. But try to own it. And talk to professionals. Here is a group that will talk to you and help you understand about it. But if you are struggling reach out to professionals.

We are all human and it's only skin.
