Ironically, he can grow 10-feet long Jungle Val, and as soon as I take a few pieces of it, it dies in my tanks. So it's all about finding the plants that you can maintain and thrive in your tanks!

Ooo are we talking fish and plants? :D

Bird, then you need to have a good piece of driftwood or lava rock to attach it to. But they still grow and require trimming! I have a giant anubias in my 135 that has been growing for 6 years on a large piece of driftwood. I can't seem to kill it, but I'll give pieces to my dad for his tank whenever I need to do maintanance and he can't get them to grow at all. Some pieces that are 3 years old are the same size as when I gave them to him. So... I'm not sure about that. I think they're easy and great plants. If you asked my dad he'd say they're pointless LOL

He was wild! The brightest pink and shimmery blue I've ever seen in a betta. Loved his leaf hammocks, too.

@Charm, what about rhizome plants that don't need to go in substrate?
Backwood Barns
10:02:42 Charm's Wubs
Bird, you have to have the right soil/substrate first of all. And then you have to either find someone local who will give you cuttings of their established plants, or order online (I recommend ModernAquarium if you do this, I've never had a bad order.) and then once they are established you have to trim them and keep them maintained so they don't overgrow. Sometimes that means throwing extras away, sometimes that means replanting them... if that makes sense.

I do not, Paarthurnax passed just before my move to Tennessee. However, he had a 20 gallon tank all to himself, which a ton of silk plants and caves.

@Versa, do you currently have a betta? What size tank is he in?
Versailles
10:00:47 Versa
I ended up only with a few moss balls because my betta that I tried live plants with had serious beef with these inanimate objects lol

Oh my goodness Versa. That's HILARIOUS! Such a spicy and opinionated boy you have!

My sisters betta was 6 when he passed. I had one live to be 4 before he passed. Im curious how long Fishy will live

Live plants are an insane amount of work, but sooo worth it. Also, if you like houseplants like pothos/monstera they can be grown above the water column! Their roots LOVE the fish water.

Bro, mine would flare and go bonkers through his entire tank every time it turned off! It was hilarious. But I had to have it off sometimes to clean up the tank lol

@Versa, I have heard bettas typically only live 2 years. =/

Hahaha Versa! Nalo was the opposite! He didn't like his bubbler, so it got turned off. He has to put up with the sponge filter bubbles, though, which is probably why he hangs out at the HOB filter!

I'd definitely say you could be in low tier 1 :) The hair in piece 1 and 3 is amazing <3

The only thing I notice that stands out to me is that your shadow placement is off. In the first piece the shadow should be more behind/to the right of the horse instead of straight on to the viewer because the light source is to the left of the horse. In your second piece (the lavender one) the shadow should be underneath the horse as I don't see a clear light source in the background. If you'd like I can draw a quick thing on the first one to show you how I find out where to place my shadows.

Definitely agree with T1. It looks like you repaint your horses entirely for prep instead of smudging, so I'd start at 150k for a horse avatar and go from there.

I would personally pay 80-120k for your art if you can keep the quality of the first 3 examples. Also try adding more detail by defining muscles with light/dark lines. Hope this helps, love your work!

I repaint the whole horse depending if I like the face or not lol.
I would love shadow advice - I can never place them right I think I just don't understand light xD

I personally would say high T2. I love the feel of them! But as stated above, the shadowing feels off for me. I like the lighting on the horse, some soft shadows would define them even more (if you haven't already). Along side the lack of definition in the body with muscles etc etc. but that's easily fixable with a chalk pen + a soft light layer (one for light another for shadows). I think if you could work on those two (happy to help where I can) you definitely would be T1 without a doubt :)

Really interested for critique and thought on this:

Based on this forum I tried to focus on muscling through the body. I hope I've improved a bit.
