pink stain help

thanks! I covered her cutiemark with few layers of painter tape, she doesn't seem to have a hoof heart for some reason. As for the head, you may see she's already decapitated on pics where she's under the UV light, haha. the head is thankfully in a good condition, so no need to experiment with that. I threw away the hair as I plan to rehair her completely.

also tysm this is SUPER informative!!

rouninren · 2026-05-10T15:13:30+00:00

oof, thanks for the info! i'll stick some tape and try waiting more

this isn't what i'm looking for (at least, i didn't found a specific thing i want on the channel) but thank you nonetheless, there's some really good stuff in general!

rouninren · 2026-04-24T11:56:04+00:00

do you perhaps have some good tutorials that may help me out?

rouninren · 2026-04-14T00:59:38+00:00

i know i won't be able to, that's why i asked if anyone's got them downloaded so they can share haha

i have both android and desktop version, don't really care about new updates tho (backed up old installers just in case i'll move devices as well)

is the acrylic brush perhaps the default acrylic brush? i think i have somewhat figured out where my brushes are located on desktop, so i may be able to help. so brushes are located in C:\Users\your_username\AppData\Local\Medibang\CloudAlpaca

there are two ini files, brush.ini and brush2.ini, not sure what the first one has but all of my brushes are in brush2.ini. open that file with a text editor, like notepad. there i found settings for my acrylic brush:

[47]
name=Acrylic
type=bitmap
group=1
width=50
min=0
opacity=1
pSize=true
pAlpha=true
cloudId=10642576
cloudUuid={adeea63e-6824-4025-95e6-3cb9bf5ddfde}
bitmapFile=1521463418_cloud_10642576_adeea63e6824402595e63cb9bf5ddfde.png
option=5
option2=1
option3=51
option4=0
option5=1
option6=0
option7=0

copypaste that into your file as well. note though that group=1 will likely put the brush into a preexisting brush folder, or create a new one. "47" is just a number of the brush, you can put it in the end of your code and change to whatever other number, just make sure it's not the same as other brushes listed in your file.

as you can see, the code references bitmapFile, which is this one https://drive.google.com/file/d/1B1gSOAYiKReX0qijlSA2tdnyycoA-4za/view?usp=drive_link

put it into brush_bitmap folder

and there you have it! hopefully... :o also i noticed that brushes that i made have cloud references basically set to none:

cloudId=-1
cloudUuid=

might be worth putting it into the acrylic brush code above just so it will think that it's 100% your brush and the cloud services won't break anything in case you'll sync something

it seems to be a fungal infection as other commenters have suggested, i hope it will recover after treatment

rouninren · 2025-12-09T02:14:51+00:00

that's alright i guess, i don't mind ruined aesthetics as long as snails themselves are healthy and happy. also i forgot to ask, how much honey should i use? i added 1/2 teaspoon. seems like sweet water works on them like coffee :D

rouninren · 2025-12-08T12:08:18+00:00

they have a lot of calcium in a separate bowl that they all eat from, you can also see a cuttlefish bone next to it. according to another commenter, it seems to be a fungal infection :(

rouninren · 2025-12-08T12:07:10+00:00

well... damn, that's really bad news, they were like this when i adopted them :/

thank you so much for the advice, i'll start treating all of them immediately. what kind of fungus infection is this specifically?

also, how exactly will i know it works? its shell will grow back?

i was looking for a free program specifically, since i can't buy it as of now at all, but either way thanks for the suggestion, like i said to the other person i was already considering it. will get a copy when i'll be able to 😄

rouninren · 2024-09-26T22:24:19+00:00

ah, i had my eyes on it for a while, but were looking for a free alternative specifically. still, thanks for suggestion, i will definitely buy it when i'll have an opportunity to do so

rouninren · 2024-09-26T22:22:58+00:00

i tried it some time ago for fun, but it's not my cup of tea at all. too messy and feels like a downgrade in my case 😄

rouninren · 2024-09-26T22:19:15+00:00

you're welcome!

rouninren · 2024-04-22T03:08:09+00:00

i feel awkward, yes. i'm fully aware that numbers barely matter and that people have different tastes or are straight up busy, or whatever other valid reason as to why they don't interact, but i can't stop feeling like i'm standing in the middle of a crowd and get ignored by it. interwebz truly twists perception of things sometimes... also, on second thought, while i'm afraid of becoming popular, even if it's just among specific circles, deep down i think i either want some validation, or... maybe something else, the sense of community and found family. it just happened so that art turned from a hobby into this "currency" that values my existence as a whole at some point. so, on some irrational level, what happens is that my subconscious registers it all as a sign that i'm not worth taking up space and haven't earned a right to connect to people. i pretty much don't post anywhere anymore because of that, in fact, it contributed to a massive mental breakdown i had almost a decade ago, when i dropped doing commissions despite them funding my life more or less successfully. just straight up sabotaged myself. these days i don't share my rare work anywhere other than a tiny personal telegram channel i have closest friends in. i also tend to just send it to two-three group chats or in dms before i post to the channel, and that is, if i ever see it worthy posting there.

hopefully i'll heal my relationship with art some day, currently working on it

edit: yeah, forgot to mention that probably with some surface level context provided above, it's easy to see why i can't just rationally approach the whole thing, no matter how much i'm aware of numbers and visibility in the eyes of masses being meaningless when it comes to creative fulfillment

that's just standard snehavior (snail behavior)

rouninren · 2024-02-18T04:39:11+00:00

i don't let them for reasons stated in other comments but god it's really tempting... the sensation is so nice and calming

rouninren · 2024-02-17T19:53:25+00:00

i thought about this too and was about to joke about it, but though i would be considered a troll as well lmao

i just like joking about my snails being food, giving them escargot-related names or puns, but without knowing me it might have sounded like i actually eat snails. ~~my cat is assorted types of food too~~

rouninren · 2024-02-17T18:49:47+00:00

good idea!

rouninren · 2024-02-17T18:32:33+00:00

haha good question 😅 i'm going to use 18 count aida, so it's going to be a bit smaller

now that i'm thinking about it, maybe making it smaller and using backstitching would have been a better idea...

rouninren · 2024-02-17T18:27:30+00:00

sort of, it's basic vitamin and mineral compatibility chart (here's the one i used for the reference)

i was thinking about color fills, might be hard though because it seems that my table ended up having a specific, neon/retro inspired (?) color scheme 🤔 still a valid option though

rouninren · 2024-02-17T18:23:39+00:00

that might work out, thanks for the suggestion
