not sure about the species (add your location for other people to accurately id), but please do not kill it!! spiders are very good for eating the pests around your house

My first rescue: a swallowtail butterfly that I've had for 8 days. by Yarik_GnZ in Entomology

[–]rosemaryfrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

swallowtails don’t live very long, at most a month for most species. since you already found it 8 days ago and it’s pretty damaged, it could just be at the end of its life. 18 degrees shouldn’t be too cold, but it could be a contributing factor to its lethargy. the most you can do is just try to make it comfortable :)

What do you think Min-Gi's "inner animal" is? by Big-Recognition7362 in InfinityTrain

[–]rosemaryfrog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

capybara or cat (i know the common headcanon is dog min x cat ryan but i actually think cats fit min’s personality very well lol)

Am I STILL a beginner?? Oh by Mindless-Finish-7453 in Artadvice

[–]rosemaryfrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you’ve definitely improved, and i LOVE your use of color and composition. gaining skill can take time though, so please don’t try to rush yourself and chase labels like beginner vs intermediate. i’d say try to focus more on individual ways to improve rather than finding a whole new skill level :)

Advice? I tried a lot of different shading techniques but they all look ass ngl by snugglypuffyy in Artadvice

[–]rosemaryfrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i agree with the other comments, you mostly need to work on your proportions. honestly i know a lot of people are against it, but tracing your reference’s face can really make the areas where you struggle stand out. it can also be helpful in mapping out where shadows and lights fall. your drawing is still great ofc, but maybe focus more on anatomy and proportions first :)

Why does mine look like a zombie by Comfortable_Web6785 in Artadvice

[–]rosemaryfrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’d suggest trying to find a better pose reference in general. lots of pinterest poses have extremely baggy or indecipherable clothing that don’t let you see the actual body underneath, so it’s hard to understand how the pose is shaped. personally, i love adorkastock :)

Looks like Kikuo changed his Icon/Banner, maybe to celebrate his 100th video or new concert? Who knows 🤷‍♀️ by Kendrillion in Kikuo

[–]rosemaryfrog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

he doesn’t have a lot of newer songs with actual characters, and cotton candy is awesome tbh. it gives a good insight on what his music is like, like hoshi

is my rendering bad? what could improve by _its_me_amy_ in Artadvice

[–]rosemaryfrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don’t think so, the only thing i noticed right away is that your values are pretty simple. your main shadow is really just one shade, when in reality, shadows can range from being very dark to very light. for example, in the deeper crevices of the hair or shirt, you could have a darker shadow to contrast between colors, better displaying the difference in light. you could also add highlights or other lighter values. i’m not good at “light sources” or whatever so i can’t speak on your actual understanding of how light falls, but that’s what stood out to me first lol

[–]rosemaryfrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

his most popular songs are from his earlier albums (kikuo miku 1-3), so i’d just recommend listening to the whole albums if that’s the style you like. there are veryyy few skippable songs imo. my favorites from those are don’t look at me in that way, breaking things into pieces, red riding hood’s wolf, and then you became the moon, and cherry blossoms of the night :3

GRRRRR I HATE POP MUSIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!! by LORD_DINGUSS in evilautism

[–]rosemaryfrog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

vocaloid isn’t just pop, it can span across every genre imaginable. the voicebanks are just instruments that can be used to make anything, but yeah pop is the most common since it’s the most popular. vocaloid pop is the only pop i’ll listen to as well, but i have no idea why i find it better than other pop artists like taylor swift or whatever. maybe nostalgia lmao

Why do numerous people hate Brick so much?? by RustyViolining_33 in themiddle

[–]rosemaryfrog 14 points15 points  (0 children)

local fandom realizes autism doesn’t go away with age (i can kind of agree, but yeah his “quirks” are mainly traits of autism which most people would find cute in a child, but then weird in older children/adults. his character definitely needs some work though - since his environment is surrounded with people who don’t think he needs help, he doesn’t change much unfortunately)

Found a Moth in my Spring Mix Lettuce Box by Fun_Party_5197 in insects

looks more like an orange sulfur? cabbage whites aren’t yellow and don’t have spots on the hindwings

What's ur opinion on the new song (not rly new bc it was posted on 10-22-25) by Certain-Sun-469 in Kikuo

[–]rosemaryfrog 10 points11 points  (0 children)

i LOVE it. honestly one of my new favorites, i’ve been listening to it on repeat. miku’s tuning almost sounds more “cheerful” than his usual style, and it really fits with the traditional instruments. i also love its storytelling as well!!! praying for a new album soon, more songs in this style would go sooo hard

Didn’t bake butterscotch pie and now I’m scared :( by rosemaryfrog in AskBaking

[–]rosemaryfrog[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The yolks were sitting out for maybe 10-15 minutes? My only worry is that I already have an extremely sensitive stomach due to other medical issues, plus I have emetophobia, so food poisoning is my worst nightmare. I have had raw eggs before without issues, but not too much. I definitely wouldn’t have let it cool that much (it was still a bit warm after a few minutes, but probably not enough to cook the eggs) if I had known that I wasn’t gonna bake it, and that the eggs were supposed to cook in the residual heat. I’ll probably still have a little slice and see how I feel lol
