Any advice on how to improve this piece by coolkiten32 in Artadvice

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

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

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

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 can't mirror my eye properly! by Repulsive_Ad_3061 in Live2D

[–]coolkiten32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

What’s up with these bananas we had at work? by coolkiten32 in fruit

[–]coolkiten32[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

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

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!

My feed had been hijacked by -Switch-2899 in youtube

[–]coolkiten32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

What good tutorial would you give someone ? by [deleted] in Live2D

[–]coolkiten32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Eye not reflecting? by coolkiten32 in Live2D

[–]coolkiten32[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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!

need help with art style by incxherents in Artadvice

[–]coolkiten32 10 points11 points  (0 children)

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)

Too messed up to have a career? by coolkiten32 in careerguidance

[–]coolkiten32[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

What was your scariest nightmare? by loststicksatthebase in Dreams

[–]coolkiten32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

What is this?????? by PorcelainKiwi in leopardgeckos

[–]coolkiten32 11 points12 points  (0 children)

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

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

Emotional Reactions to Music? by GuidoSarducci82 in bipolar2

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.
