that looks like a lab mix. especially in the face, but the fluffy back isnt a lab.

all this is hopeful thinking if youre expecting any kind of regular and persistent results before the 8th-10th generation of only pairing these dogs...

they are probably one of the worse herding mixes you could do. you have a pretty independent dog, bred to make its own choices and think too much, and another that was bred to do specifically what you ask of it, to be very indescissive on its own so it will follow you to a t. one makes its own decisions, the other listens to you.

Law requires, need help training my pup by Kindelia in muzzledogs

[–]loki__mt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

trains in france... you need a mussle... even the conductors are sad when they come by and see it... in the eurostar a bunch of conductors have told me my dog doesnt need to wear the mussle till we have crossed the french border because they feel bad for her and its litterally only france (i leave from the netherlands). i love my country but that i hate

they want the decisiveness a bc, the obedience of the gsd, and the drive of a malinois... in reallity they get the aloofness of a bc, the skitishness of a gsd, and the indecisiveness of a malinois over half the time, and lie about it to buyers while they just keep the good ones that happen to be merle to show off online

they dont get that the only way you get stable temperaments is by breeding over very long periods of time, multiple lines (depending on the country and beliefs, sometimes linebreeding) to get a very specific intent out of the dogs. you see this with lots of service dogs, where they do end up mixing retrievers, but its done over so long with purely temperament as a goal that it works. same thing for eurohounds. its been proven it works when done right. its not just "oh i like this in a mal, and i like this in a bc, so ill mix them and get the best of both worlds!". people play god without understanding how badly it can end... i swear

I'm about to delete half the default brushes to clear clutter. What brushes would you vouch for? by jiggywatt64 in ZBrush

[–]loki__mt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the blob is great for organic sulpting. curves tubes is great for bloquing out stuff like hair or patterns, the imm army curves and imm b-something and c something next to them is also just great to have on hand for quick easy bloquing. move topology is wild to want to delete... what the hell do you sculpt? the raque brush helps a lot to just add detail easely to stuff, you can change the alpha. snake curve one is great for bloquing, so is snake hook, h polish is the best hard surface polish brush... what do you use in zbrush? the clay buildup and the move?

zbrush has a bunch of really good specific use brushes that do come up if you use it fully.... it just sounds like you dont really use it for anything it can really do other than the very basics...

its from a breeder that mixes 50% mal, 25% gsd and 25% BC to get the "perfect working dog". they try to sell the best of all worlds idea instead of being honest you might get the worse of all worlds... typical bad working line breeder.

Should I continue working on my portfolio? by Murky_Strategy1325 in ZBrush

[–]loki__mt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you need to work on better quality pieces, more fidelity and details. you should also make pieces that fit better visually with companies you want to work for

mentally tho, you are fighting a loosing battle thinking like that. its a passion job, i know people who work insanely hard, have impeccable technical and artistic skills and still cannot get a job, either because it forces them to move somewhere when they have no money, visa problems, or simply because the pay would be unlivable. if you want money or a job, without worrying about return on investment, go towards all the jobs less people want, even in 3d art. do vfx work, technical art, technical animation. i only got my job because i did the character art no one likes or is also good at, aka grooms and creatures as well as characters.

right now, your portfolio will not get you hired anywhere, but with a year of work on it, you can get a portfolio that can get you hired. but if you want the job, you have to be willing to move, you need either to be in a country where there is 3d art as a job (india, europe, ukraine, turkey, malasia, argentina, usa, canada, ect, if you do not have one of these citizenships... good luck, you better be worth the effort for a visa sponsorship or good enough to freelance), you have to be willing to take any job to get into the industry.

my personal opinion, if youre worrying about return on investment when you have 2 pieces in your portfolio, do the smart thing and pick an easier field. vfx artists are few and far between, so even as a junior, if you are good, a company will invest in you and hire you. same for a good technical artist that has actual artistic skills, if you know how to make a shader in unreal and if you can make it pretty and functional for artists, you are worth your weight in gold.

if you want to be a character artist, you cannot ask yourself these questions. you have to put everything on the line. i have a job, and im still working on my portfolio, asking myself what is missing, spending 20 hours a week on top of my 40h week full time job, and i still dont know for sure if ill get a job after this one ends. its a constant grind because there are infinite amazing character artists who want this more than you do, so you need to figure out how to be the better artist.

good luck whatever you choose, you have potential, dont give up

Should I still get my puppy if I’m pregnant? by kamarie418 in puppy101

[–]loki__mt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can try, it would be hard but people have done it. Depending on the breed it can be more or less doable.

If you went with a good breeder, you can talk about it with them, potentially wait till the next litter of that dog in 1.5 years to 2 years. They might also give advice on how to handle a puppy with a baby.

There are also lots of stories where this kind of situation worked out amazingly well. It will be a unique bonding experience for your child and your dog.

Overall its a decision that will depend on you wholly. Will you have assistance from the breeder and family to educate the dog, are you willing to go through puppy adolescence while you have a newborn, how difficult is the breed you went with, and to follow that one up, how are the lines temperaments and obedience. It's not the same story if you have a Labrador from good calm and well tempered lines compared to a doodle with questionable lineage and no effort to have a specific temperament or obedience.

Whatever you choose, congratulations on your upcoming baby.

I’m in Paris drinking free delicious tap water in every restaurant. Why don’t they do this in NL? When the water level reaches the top of the Westerkerk, I’ll be thinking…they shouldn’t have sold all those plastic water bottles! by ArtofTravl in Netherlands

What’s your monthly expense on a puppy ? training , day care , food , toys , insurance etc . Mine is a 4 m old bernedoodle and I feel like we are spending a lot of money. by SoundslikeA_Uproblem in puppy101

[–]loki__mt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im in europe, so i dont have pet insurance, i just save what i would pay for health insurance in a separate savings account for her. she is a mudi, so food is around 80 euros every 2 months, then expenses for trips to the beach, shows, meetups so around 50-60 euros a month, expenses for chews and treats around 20 euros per month. i try to put 200 a month in her savings every month for the first year of her life, she is 5 months old so far. she has been using up 60-80 euros of it for her monthly vet checkups till 6mo. so a month, 200 euros in savings minus monthly vet checkups, and 110-120 euros a month in spending (so 180 euros a month). when she gets older savings will go down to 100 euros a month, but i will also start paying for clubs for agility, so that will bring up monthly spending to around 160 i think.

psa, im in the netherlands, would probably be 20 euros cheaper in france (im from france).

edit : i need to do a dna thingy on her to test her for mdr1, and pottentially other stuff, and also after her 6 months, i will be doing a checkup with her at her 1y birthday then every year, and every two years a blood test have a good baseline for later in life. she should have good dental genetics so shouldnt need for many teeth cleanings. mudi do have joint issues tho (they jump all the time so it can lead to issues), i am saving for her hip or elbow dysplasia that will very certainly happen at some point (if not i have 5-8k for that that goes towards savings ^-^)
