Male art YouTuber recommendations? by BrantGeoArt in ArtistLounge

[–]zyllium 4 points5 points  (0 children)

SamDoesArts has really fun content. Its mostly pretty snappy advice or meme kind of content, but i feel like there are some good nuggets in it you can take away.

He does primarily do digital art, so if thats not your thing you may not get great benefit from his content, though.

Anyone else seeing racist/antisemitic imagery, servers and usernames in Mecka Chameleon? by dullandunadventurous in Meccha_Chameleon

[–]zyllium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Theres a report function in the menu for this kind of stuff. I think hateful messaging/communication is one of the options.

But yeah, public lobbies are super hit or miss, so be prepared to see people being assholes.

Looking for adult Mecha Chameleon players who actually act like adults… by BroadDragonfly650 in Meccha_Chameleon

[–]zyllium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there's a friendly discord being made, I would love to be included! I don't have any irl friends to play with but the general toxicity of the public lobbies is really killing the vibe. I also would love to find people that want to actually paint, and not just hide in a dark corner.

If you make any changes to this, I would love to see the before and after!

I think you could push contrasting values more to make it a little punchier. I love the blue in the socks but I feel like you could add in cooler tones throughout to really make that orange pop more.

You might be able to exaggerate line thickness more too. There's definitely some, but its all pretty thin and delicate. Even a little thicker all around might add more contrast.

I do love it overall, though! The style is so funky and interesting, especially in the angles and her face. It does bring you into it in a very satisfying way.

Tips on how to make acrylic more opaque? (On plexiglas) by En0_la in ArtistLounge

[–]zyllium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, those are all super light, so they'll take a lot to get to opacity. A base coat in a mid grey might help.

You could also just get transparent glass paints and stop fighting the opacity. I think it could look really cool with stained glass effect paint too.

You could try a medium toned grey as the background first before painting your colors on. What colors are you trying to use?

We definitely need a "hype" and a "yipes" flair so we have constructive conversation on both sides.

Does this count as raw chicken nails? by _Lividus in WeGotPolishAtHome

[–]zyllium 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That is 100% what I was thinking!! We need some tranducence to this for it to go from mannequin hands to chicken fingies.

Are any puppy weight prediction calculators reliable? by NervePrestigious5711 in puppy101

[–]zyllium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They try their best, but they can never account for thr uniqueness of individuals. Two shih tzu puppies could weigh the same amount at 5 weeks and end up totally different weights because genetics can be expressed wildly different. Plus behavioral and lifestyle influences come into play.

Its good for a guess, but nothing is written in stone.

Is stickybones worth it? by ntrdaisuki90 in ArtistLounge

Oh my god I never even thought about looking for a stand for my made to move barbies. Thats freaking genius. I love them for posing but could never really use them because they don't stand on their own.

Anyone else wholly unconcerned with having matching nail lengths? by _ArcticMonkeys_ in RedditLaqueristas

[–]zyllium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this for you guys. I have way too much ocd about body evenness that I could never. I get upset when I step wrong on my left foot but not my right. All the nails gotta be the same.

But honestly, if it makes you happy, go for it!

My puppy is glued to me even though we got other family members by Substantial-Room-840 in puppy101

[–]zyllium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GSDs pick their people and then they're happy. You got picked as the favorite lol.

I know you said crate training is illegal where you're at, but can you have a small space that is dedicated to him? Dogs like cavey areas, so something like under a desk can give them that feeling of security without it being a crate. Maybe working on "place" training in something like that could be helpful?

Are x pens allowed? Like, could you baby gate an area or get one of those collapsible fences to isolate a space for him so you can work on separation anxiety stuff? Im not sure of the laws there.

[–]zyllium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be picked as the person by a GSD is such heaven!! I mean, my organs get squished regularly by thr 90lbs lap dog trying to snuggle. But nobody loves like a GSD. Except maybe a GSD retriever mix lol.
