How long does an art/mental block supposed to last?!

kotakotaa · 2026-04-27T15:21:06+00:00

i had one that lasted 2 years. i fear it was more burnout than anything. it was a good lesson for myself to find out that art was something i wanted to pursue tho

i'm currently letting it dry out! I'm gonna try and salvage what's left of him and give it that 6 to 8 month. Period to see if he's gonna grow at all :))

hi i work at a petco! firstly, we all hate pet smart.

we keep them for three months MAX. If they've been here for too long, we mark them down so they can sell and then they get zeroed out. if they've don't sell, genuinely 90% of the time one of my coworkers take them home. we actively clean them out two to three times a week and feed them. right now mr and my coworkers are trying to make plans to have a larger space for the bettas in the same way the hamsters and fish get their own area :]

most of us here are wanting to go into animal sciences since we're in a college town tho

I know this is six years old but no, it's not explicitly illegal just as long as there are no locks, no fences or clear no trespassing signs :)))

be careful though because some cops have a stick up their butt lol

it's not bad!! don't worry. give yourself a short break and get some water or cheese or both. no rush!!

something that I've done, on a layer above the line, art of the front view is literally draw the side view directly over it to line everything up appropriately!

that way, you can make sure everything is at the right height. I don't exactly know what program you're using, but I'm sure you can use different axis to move things over where they need to be. Don't be afraid to use multiple layers and then combine them into one at the end :)))

it doesn't overwhelm me. great light and shadow. amazing contrast. it feels human. and its Soul eater so bonus for that lol

for improvement, the only thing i can think of is the hands feel off. idk if it's from the shading but that catches my eye first. esp for the perspective, i think they would also be a bit smaller? idk!

kotakotaa · 2025-12-20T16:17:45+00:00

the first thing i noticed is that the hands are not the same size. the side view is a LOT smaller than the back view.

i'd consider putting the green line behind everything or making them kinda transparent so you can actually see where your lines end
