@Charm, do you by chance have a photo of your tank?

No. Nalo is in a 20 gallon long, which is about 12" tall.

My 20 gallon is an Aqueon, my 40 is a Marineland (I think). I love them both. And if you buy them new, stores will have a return policy on them in case a seam leaks or theres a crack you can't see.

The only time I recommend buying second-hand is if you're purchasing a large tank and are willing to learn how to reseal it. Otherwise, it's cheaper (and safer) to buy from a store!

10:29:05 Bird

Oh also, I heard betta fish like shallow water so does that mean something as tall as 12" is too tall for them?

10:27:10 Bird

Do you guys have any tank brand recommendations? I definitely need one with a lid.

They are great for supplies! Our LFS actually partners with them because of how much they recommend them.

I was thinking of ordering supplies from this company. I have heard good things and they have good guides.

Checkout used tanks often people will be nearly giving them away, just make sure to fill it up outside first for a few days to make sure it’s not leaking. Never take a tank with cracks even if they’re small and are current ply holding water

Or, you can typically do it cheaper by piecing it together yourself. Tank, light, cover(optional), heater, filter, air pump, airline hoses, bubble wand, substrate, and then obviously decorations (nothing plastic) and the fish.

I reccomend tetras as well, you want a lot 10-20 as theyre schooling fish and they have a high casualty rate especially when you first get them

You can get a 20 gallon tall kit at most pet stores for about $200 that will include just about everything except substrate, plants, and fish.

Bird, I loved my tetras, I believe I had the 2 for 4/5 years? But do be weary when you get them, I originally had 4 but unfortunately we lost 2 very shortly after due to the 'professionals' we talked with I'll informing us on the best amount for our tank!

10:15:34 Bird

@charm, I was hoping to keep it less than $500

Like with anything it takes a lot of research (and it's a bit of an investment) to do things right.

Bettas are definitely able to get away with a 10. I just wouldn't go lower, they explore and swim around way more than people realize

The Official Art Critique Forum

Hello fellow artists!

There has been a huge amount of people requesting a "Art Critique" forum, and Eve has requested that the art critique posts go in "Art Help" for now.

Instead of clogging up the Art Help Forum with a new post every time you need a critique I have made this forum to post all of them under.

So What Am I Supposed to Do?

This forum was created to help others give constructive criticism on your art. You may simply post your most recent art piece in a post below this forum and ask for critiques. Its that simple ;)

Rules

1. Please do not "bump" your posts.

2. Only one post at a time

3. (Not a rule, but very appreciated) don't just use this forum to your advantage, help others out too!

4. Please be nice. You are totally allowed to nit-pick but please do not spread negativity about someone's art (or really anything in general).

5. (This rule goes with #4) Remember this is constructive criticism, not just unsolicited or rude criticism.

6. This is most certainly NOT a place to brag or advertise your art. This is not sales chat.

**There have been some questions asking if you can ask for pricing help on your art. The answer is yes, you may ;)**

It looks lovely! I love the legs haha.

I would add a few baby highlights to the dark side of the mane and a couple more shadows to the lighter side. Same thing goes for the tail. I would use a pastel yellow color for the front part of the horse to highlight and a pastel blue for the back. Very small brush size. 1-2 px. After those each have their own layer, set the whole layer to overlay and mess with the opacity. Do the same highlighting process for the horse and hat. It will make the image crisper.

I reference Manduh's youtube a bunch for my art, this time stamp might help you with highlighting. It helped me tremendously.

Wow this is very kind of you :)

Reminds me when a bunch of the tier 1 (it was before the tiers but anyways) made a critique thread where only designated people could critique on that certain thread

https://i.postimg.cc/zG8RMdPS/Untitled268.jpg

Could you try this one please

Wow! I would have never known about that lol. I like the idea ;)

First off, I really like this!

Beautiful scenery and the horse blends into the background very well. Good use of lighting. I do notice that the image is a bit grainy, is that fixable? Secondly, the ears do look a bit blurred. Maybe add some definition by highlighting like I explained to raven. I would apply this technique to the rest of the horse also. It will really make the image pop out of the screen more ;) Lastly, the nose could use some pink near the nostrils. It will add a little more realism.

Other than that this looks lovely, Sun! All of this is really just nit-picking.

The app I use is really annoying when it comes to quality, I'm sadly unable to do anything about it :/

But the Rest is extremely helpful, thank you for the tips :D
