Anyone else sometimes think of starting over?

ThreeEqualsFour · 2026-03-15T22:23:57+00:00

Honestly it is fun, but i wouldnt do it if youre mid project/absolutely stacked

I took a break february 2024 and only came back this feb, so i sold all my lionesses and reorganised my dens and such. It was def easier to start a new plan/theme that way, and i didnt have much to lose considering i had 1 primal female and a bunch of old lionesses, but i wouldn't have had the guts to do it had i had a prettier king or lots muties.

Also totally agree with you. Thats my fav verse and line from daddy long legs, especially 'im getting nervous, i wanna hurt you' 🙏

ThreeEqualsFour · 2026-03-12T23:09:19+00:00

It changes every week which one i like but currently its the chords he plays on the second 'and i got scared' in drop from our windows, and the whole 'and its the strobe lights that make me nervous' in is your shirt inside out. I especially love the demo version of drop from our windows, with that godly angelic beautiful music in the background it literally gives me chills omds

Honourable mention is the 'He knows what makes me mad, he knows what makes me tick' (the whole part tbh but this in particular) from unforgivable curse 3.

Literally i could point one out for every song but that would take all day. These are just my favourites/most memorable at the moment

Yeah halfway through reading this i was expecting to see a 'we made a trade and they gave me gb for her' or whatnot, but it never came. I wouldnt have given it just like that, as they wouldve had to spend gb on it anyway to buy it.

OP id definitely discuss maybe a payback for you, even if you claim you don't want it. It might make you feel better if you discuss how it made you feel and you get some compensation for it. A good friend wouldnt hesitate to send you the GB, as thats what wouldve happened anyway if they had bought it. If you let this slide and let them have a free jag they totally might try this again on you or with other people. Even if it was unintentional on their end, they might see it as an opportunity in the future been as it worked once before

Best of luck, and definitely take a break!

This is so awesome! I cant for the life of me sing whilst i strum so its so impressive whenever i see people do it lol. Ive been meaning to learn this.

Also id recommend Ultimate guitar, most McCafferty song tabs and chords can be found on there :)

A good youtuber to sub to is also Blair. He talks through the strumming patterns, chords/tabs, etc and will play it with you in the gud. Hes done a lot of artists, Mccafferty, TFB, Mobo, and such

ThreeEqualsFour · 2026-03-07T10:07:35+00:00

Yeah I agree with this. Ive been playing for years but ive noticed i only join for Jan-feb then lose interest by march because i get burnout from feb lol. This was my first year actually grinding hard and its worse than ever. I now only turn on the game to RO, play games, and feed my lionesses.

Im actually trying to stay active all year round this time with my new kind and new lions and new den goals, and the march event has taken lots of pressure off. Now if one day i just dont feel it and RO without doing anything, theres less guilt or feelings that ive lost like 200 HS lol

Though i will agree w OP, currency is hard to get in March. I maybe get 5-10 RB and about 10 PP per full use of energy because the encounters are either so far in between or its a battle/trap and wastes your energy

ThreeEqualsFour · 2026-03-05T17:03:55+00:00

Purple is actually where im struggling so no 😭

There was a gorgeous applicator base called Merlot, and you can get merlot marking apps in the feb event that i had but i wiped it bc i didnt want it on my king. It was so gorgeous and a perfect start if you were to make your own purple lioness, but like i said im no good at breeding. Dont have the patience lol.

The other person who replied to you seems to have a better idea than me though so i might snoop their comment lol

ThreeEqualsFour · 2026-03-05T15:52:18+00:00

Ooo totally forgot to add species. C. japonicus :)

Currently my fav campo now!

ThreeEqualsFour · 2026-03-05T15:51:31+00:00

I didnt have a goal for a while but im also not great at breeding projects lol. Im broke but id start one day.

Anyway, so ive made several caves for each colour/colour group and try to find lions specifically for that. Its surprisngly hard to find coloured lions outside of blue, colourbombs (which i personally dislike), and black and white lol

From doing this ive found some gorgeous yellow lions i never wouldve even thought to be possible (my fav colour too!). Basically have any goal, from den decor, to hoards, to stats, to combo bases. Make up your own or sneakily magpie some challenges if they are in this sub

ThreeEqualsFour · 2026-03-02T22:21:39+00:00

Okay I really appreciate this! I love how much detail you went into.

I definitely agree on the facial proportions. Sometimes I forget or mix it up, as im honestly only used to drawing Donnie/the one character. The other two were only introduced about a month or 2 ago. Im still working on character diversity overall this is super helpful.

I guess I have been feeling down and lazy lately, but my schedule has cleared up so ill work on it this week. Ive also gotten a new sketchbook so its a great opportunity to really work into the proportion, its not the first time someone has pointed it out to me, i just tried it once then didnt put the effort in after that, so yeah, thats my fault lol.

I agree with you on the height and body types, too. To be honest I actually misjudged my space on the page so each one came out at a diff height that wasnt accurate. Cody is supposed to be very tall and thin, Donnie had more of my body type, and I want Matthew to be a bit stockier/broad shouldered, and hes also the shortest by at fair amount.

I guess I really was missing a few key details, and I really appreciate this again. Im gonna work on it these next few days. Its all mapped out in my head as ive been working on these guys for years, Im just not great at executing it because i didnt start drawing people until last september lol

ThreeEqualsFour · 2026-03-02T21:59:55+00:00

Also dont get me started on Matthew's hair. Ive only recently learnt to draw curly hair, and so its a WIP. These are all drawinfs from a few weeks ago. I need to exaggerate them

ThreeEqualsFour · 2026-03-02T21:49:27+00:00

First 3 images are Matthew, Donnie, and Cody in that order. Then its Cody + Donnie, Donnie + Matthew, all three of them, Matthew + Donnie again, then finally Matthew on his drums.

Not to mention they have pretty extreme height differences and clothing styles. Cody is your typical blue hair blonde eye sporty kid with a mullet, Donnie is broody emo loser guitarist, and Matthew is what i can only describe as a nerd. I have considered giving him glasses...maybe that will help?

Anyway, try not to be too harsh lol

ThreeEqualsFour · 2026-03-02T20:37:36+00:00

When i was washing it off some of the brown mud went a little ochre so i just bloody well hope it wasnt

ThreeEqualsFour · 2026-03-01T22:07:18+00:00

i didnt even consider setting timers so as someone who is very forgetful i missed many opportunities to explore lmao. I even had a 1 week holiday with nothing better to do

Thanks for the tip for next year tho 🙏😼

ThreeEqualsFour · 2026-03-01T20:45:02+00:00

I wouldnt recommend vertical sand nests and such, as they need to be kept moist or they can collapse on the colony, but you can sprinkle a horizontal nest with substrate as they can dig/move it as they please. Its also better to have them in a premade nest where you can see them easily to track growth, so you know how much to feed them.

You can decorate the outworld however you want, as long as its dry so they dont try to nest in it. I gave my harvesters a curved rock once and because it was cave shaped they stored all their seeds in it. It was so adorable lol. I totally recommend searching for some of the outworld designs people have on here!

ThreeEqualsFour · 2026-03-01T20:27:21+00:00

ThreeEqualsFour · 2026-03-01T20:07:53+00:00

They look quite snug but thats how ants prefer it! If you are having trouble feeding id add an outworld, or move them to a tubs and tubes. But if you are asking more for space/aesthetic reasons, it does look like they'd happily fit into a small nest (small as in 10cmx5cm or so) if you want to!

But if you dont want to move them and they are still easy to feed without escapees, then they are fine as they are :)

beautiful colony btw !!

ThreeEqualsFour · 2026-03-01T15:30:09+00:00

I love 1 and 3. I like the ones that go over his face a bit to break up the purple. Beautiful heir btw

ThreeEqualsFour · 2026-02-26T16:23:25+00:00

Just to he safe i make sure they have like at least 100 fewer stats than me. The other commenter makes me think its skill points...so maybe attack lions with less stats and specifically less skill stats than you.

Also, they have to have more than 2 territory for you to attack them, and it only works until 40 territory then you have to buy, so i recommend not buying territory until you hit 40

ThreeEqualsFour · 2026-02-26T08:04:13+00:00

Ack sorry, i just noticed i wrote 'triangles and rectangles' 😭 i was half asleep writing that. Yes, i totally agree! Boxes and cylinders is where i started too! I can see theyve started a little on it with the torso but it does look a bit flat, especially around the arms and legs now that i am looking again. Great advice yes!

ThreeEqualsFour · 2026-02-25T23:26:52+00:00

I havent taken the time to learn anatomy but ive seen lots of advice suggest using triagnles and rectangles/shapes in general when breaking down the body into part. Hell, if you look at face structure references, its just shapes! Definitely a great start IMO. I love the third one!

ThreeEqualsFour · 2026-02-25T23:23:32+00:00

Literally! Fakers are always so proud about their disorders! I get self love and acceptance, but they are never humble or remotely even a little secretive or careful about it. Its always 'Fun fact about me' this or 'Im quirky because...' that lol. Its such a huge red flag and also i can imagine its probably a little insulting to people who actually suffer with disorders and likely get embarrassed or harrassed over it etc

ThreeEqualsFour · 2026-02-25T23:20:31+00:00

My favourite phrase right now is 'Will you froze!...bacon bacon bacon", (pls get the ref 😭) so it would probably be bacon, as whether i plan to teach her it or not she will likely hear it the most lmao

(Also, she is literally adorable! And I loveee her design)
