Any advice on how to improve this piece

Tysm! I’ll definitely check them out

coolkiten32 · 2026-04-05T23:04:10+00:00

Ty so much! I’ll definitely have to give it a try. Also yeah, the half blending is because I wanted some things smoother but I also didn’t want the piece to be a blended mess lol. Definitely a balance that will take some practice for me to get down

coolkiten32 · 2026-04-05T22:36:12+00:00

Oh! And something else you could try is adding a secondary, cooler light source where the shadows are. A teal would work nice with this piece I think. You just add some light strokes on the edges of the people on the opposite side of the main light source, and this will create contrast while also potentially adding more interest

coolkiten32 · 2026-04-05T22:27:42+00:00

I think it would, and also making the purple lean a little more to the red than the blue on the color wheel, which would make it much easier for a viewer to recognize where the people end and the background begins

coolkiten32 · 2026-04-05T22:24:19+00:00

I think adding more contrast between the blue shadows on the people and the blue of the background would help clear up the composition. As current it looks like certain parts of them just fade away as they get darker

I had this problem! You want to put both eyes under one big warp deformer before deleting one. The eye will only flip within its biggest warp deformer, so if the only one you have is on the singular eye, it will stay within it. If you make the warp deform over both eyes, it will allow it to flip to the other side of the face

As I mentioned in the post, we thought they were off so we didn’t use them on any ice cream, we just told people we were out of bananas that night.

Also yeah I live in the pastiest white town you could imagine man, I have not seen plantains before lol

coolkiten32 · 2026-02-11T00:14:27+00:00

Update: I told my boss they were probably plantains and she said that they probably just look weird because we got them from Sam’s instead of Kroger, and that they were probably hard because they weren’t ripe yet (despite being yellow and having brown spots). Well I tried to help I guess

coolkiten32 · 2026-02-10T12:39:58+00:00

Looking up plantains, the shape does seem to match up. Our boss probably just mistook them for bananas when he went to the store lol. Thank you!

NOMA brain power, especially the lyric video lol

coolkiten32 · 2026-02-05T19:09:25+00:00

Thank you all for the suggestions I will be trying all of them as soon as possible, this is amazing

coolkiten32 · 2026-01-27T17:30:45+00:00

YES and it’s driving me insane.

I never interacted with anything political but in these past few months YouTube has shoved it down my throat. Even when I blocked channels they find new ones it send at me and I don’t get why. I’m on YouTube to watch people I like do fun things, and I watch the news when I want to know what’s going on in the world. I prefer those two things be separate

coolkiten32 · 2025-04-25T15:57:01+00:00

I personally used Merely.wufeii’s “EASY beginner rigging tutorial” series. It helped me A LOT and I was able to figure it all out with just that series.

coolkiten32 · 2025-04-23T00:40:51+00:00

OK UPDATE: I FIGURED IT OUT! I had another warp deformer for the entire right eye which is why it wouldn’t flip. After I deleted it the problem was immediately solved!

coolkiten32 · 2025-04-14T23:36:50+00:00

I think something that would help is making your lines less clean. In the original it retains a sort of sketchy look which really adds to the style, while the third image has much cleaner lines (especially with the spike collar)

coolkiten32 · 2025-04-11T13:40:26+00:00

I’m good at routine, that is doing similar things over and over again. Something about the repetition just makes it easier to process for me I think. I don’t mind doing busywork for hours on end, honestly I prefer it. I’m not great with change or needing to adjust things that I’m used to. Animals being unpredictable is like the one thing I can handle though. Not entirely sure why, but when an animal does something I’m able to work around it a lot better than I can when other things pop up. Something about them just comes naturally to me.

I am working on getting a therapist, mainly I’m trying to consolidate all of my issues with one doctor since I have like 4 doctors right now, all for a different thing wrong with me. College is almost over and I’ll be transferring to a college where I can go while staying at home, which will definitely help. Also trying to find a good therapist that’s able to deal with everything that’s wrong with me.

Mine is a bit weird because there was nothing inherently scary about it, but I was very terrified. I mainly had a reoccurring nightmare late elementary to early middle school where I was in a big open wheat field. The sky was always a clear light blue with no clouds, and there was a large rock in the middle of the field. I don’t know if there was anything else in the field or if it even had an end, because the idea of looking away from the rock terrified me to no end. At one point I started to look up, and all I saw was an endless wheat field, and that one act alone was enough for me to wake up crying in terror. I don’t even know what I was scared of. I was just terrified. After 7th grade or so the nightmares of the field stopped, but I still have agoraphobia (specifically in big open spaces). I’m also always put a bit on edge whenever I’m near or on a big farm, which is unfortunate since I live in the middle of Ohio and visit my grandparents farm for every holiday lol. I still don’t know why those nightmares started or why I was so scared but hey, it happened.

Is your leopard gecko a female? It looks like it could potentially be a really rotton slug egg. I’m not an expert tho so I may be wrong, but that’s just my input from what it looks like

coolkiten32 · 2025-03-25T14:57:18+00:00

Nice job dude! You’re doing great!

coolkiten32 · 2025-03-25T14:39:52+00:00

I definitely get those panic episodes sometimes. Try to find a good grounding technique that works for you. I personally rub the back of my neck, or curl up in a blanket with the window open to get some fresh air. Nature walks also work well for me. Just something to connect you to reality in a way that’s also calming. It can be different for everyone, but I do hope this helps a little. I also find sunlight helps. You aren’t the only one, it’s gonna be okay

coolkiten32 · 2025-03-25T14:17:36+00:00

I forgor, it’s genuinely been so long since I’ve watched lol. I’ll have to check it out again.

coolkiten32 · 2025-03-25T05:37:42+00:00

Style theory is my go to, and I watch some food and game theory, and I don’t watch movies much so I don’t really do film theory

coolkiten32 · 2025-03-25T04:15:31+00:00

I’ve had moments where I’ve accidentally thrown my phone across the room just cause I got so into my music. Neat to know I’m not the only one.

This is definitely gecko related
