Taking a quick break to get some photoshoots in! 😂
Totally normal weekend activities.

Getting back into my product photography routes for my #isopods- but with a little more wrangling and patiently waiting for balls to unball ☺️

Edited pics coming up on @pixelpods.ca !

A photo studio setup with soft lighting, video recording, and a dlsr camera. A little isopod sits on a white fabric backdrop for their photos!

A golden spot isopod is on fleece, carefully being redirected to face a better camera angle

A camera is close up to a balled up panda king isopod. Patiently waiting for them to open up on their own time ♡

Wonderful!

I hope you get the perfect space for more kiddos again someday ☺️

Ohh yeah I've noticed that as well. None of my pruinosus are crazy over bigger veggies? but lettuce is always cleaned up fast.
I think they like cleaning up after the geckos more tho lol

Eggshells is a great idea! I'll have to try that :0c my dairy cows will probs love it for the proteins oho

I have a staple powdered isopod food that provides majority of the nutrients they need, but I have found my golden spots (cousins to these) LOVE Zucchini & Potato.

So they'll get some veggie variety, and probably some leftover gecko smoothie as well! Plus all their decayed leaf matter & cuttlebone

Some kiddos were on sale while we were picking up gecko food - so of course couldn't leave without them

Just a small starter, but if they're anything like golden spots im sure theyll boom quick!

Sometimes I sit and watch my kiddos after work just to decompress ☺️

Its why these ones have a big 10gal tank, they're always doing something above ground~

I cannot stress enough how much naming your ranges when working with a spreadsheet will save your life.

It feels tedious, but it will help with any formulas / analytics you need to do later. I PROMISE YOU

Select Range > Data > Named Ranges

Nothing like nyquil to turn the dream dial up to 11

On the plus side, it gave me great inspiration for the main driver of the DnD campaign I'm writing =w=

taking a couple old character concepts of mine and merging them, now adding a dash of nightmare for good measure~ its perfect

Pros of WFH - pj's, cat snuggles, zero commute

Cons of WFH - even when your head feels like it's 30lbs you feel compelled to work cause...aforementioned pjs

So rest of the evening will be horizontal o|-<

I blame a portion of comm delays on my clingy needy baby boy~

Between him and Mudge my desk is almost always blocked in someway lol

Last but not least, a cute little pair of headshot 100x100 icons! I find it kind of funny that I've never really done much for headshots in pixels?? Usually it's full body or nothing.

Might have to try some more in the future!

Next up, the wizard Landreth - raising his staff to bring magic raining down.

This was another test / retest / redo / retest animation round LOL I do really like how it turned out, Pixquare is a boon to the earth with how nicely trimming works omg
