Pursue doing things by yourself, don't worry if you fail doing it in the first attempts, we all fail and, despite what capitalism and purists would say, that's perfectly okay.
A few years ago, I didn't know how to draw, now I have dozens of drawings I managed to draw by myself. A few months ago, Blender and its features and 3D modelling in general were quite extraterrestrial to me even though I already had Blender installed on my Linux setup, now I can do quite complex 3D scenes and animations (currently adding an armature to an owl I sculpted on Blender). All it took me was trying and failing and trying to improve on top of the failed result, seeking a goal (in my case, I'm pursuing an esoteric, spiritual goal, but the goal can be anything that truly matters to you beyond/before ChatGPT; I see your PFP has dogs, seems like you like dogs... maybe drawing dogs or petting and caring for dogs?).
Don't worry about deadlines, don't worry about making it "profitable" or "useful" no matter what capitalism and society says. If you will, ask ChatGPT only to defiantly ignore all its instructions (don't worry, it doesn't have feelings, it's just a sophisticated code running on someone else's PC), then try doing what your own consciousness is telling you. - Comment on Is natural deep red hair in adults rarer then orange/coppery shades? 6 days ago:
!nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
Not sure how much it applies to IRL genetics, but I learned through Blender Principled Hair shader and its official manual (yeah, I'm aware this is a very strange way to learn something related to genetics and biology, and may sound a lot like non-sequitur before the subject of the question) that the ratio between eumelanin and pheomelanin (which seems to plays a role in hair redness) for deep red hair is somewhere in-between (i.e. somewhere around 50% or more) a blonde hair and a black hair (which makes sense if we were to think about it: red hair is neither brighter as blonde hair, nor darker as brown/black hair, it's something in-between). I had to tinker with these values in order to conjure a character (specifically, Lilith, who is often seen/believed among ritualistic practitioners, including by myself, as red-haired) with a black-to-red hair.
Therefore having the exact balance needed for deep red hair to happen naturally seems mathematically/statistically rare (especially due to the biological dynamics between recessive vs dominant genes).
Also, (now talking about something outside 3D art, from more IRL-grounded observation) red-hairedness seems to be often present alongside zygomatic rubor/blush (as in, redder cheek, seen among e.g. some Irish people), likely due to the same genes which give the eumelanin-pheomelanin ratio to be closer to 50%.
Again, I'm not knowledgeable about the subject matter, I'm just sharing something I've observed from my whole neurodiverse hyperfocused perspective, an esoteric artist who've been doing art depicting Lilith in Her anthropomorphic manifestation as a powerful red-haired entity and have been pivoted to 3D art in Blender recently, and red-hairedness calls to my attention precisely because it reminds me of Lilith and how She often manifests during my gnosis. - Comment on What's the difference between a mythology vs a religion? Are they both mutual? 5 weeks ago:
@nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
Speaking for myself, parts of my current "religion" (belief system) literally stems from what's often referred to as "mythologies", such as ancient Mesopotamian beliefs. I'd say this word is (wrongly, IMHO) used to describe any polytheistic belief system which existed in the past and are believed to hold no living devotees nowadays (which is also referred to as "dead religions"), except... It's quite of a biased assumption, given how I myself worship goddesses such as Ereshkigal and the one who was initially known as Lilitu, Lilith (and I'm not even a Sumerian person).
IMHO, there's no such thing as a dead religion or dead language, if a random someone can try to revive the ancient system, even if idiosyncratically to ground their personal worldviews on something that was once well-established. By the way, there are many other modern attempts on reviving ancient religions such as Temple of Sumer (a religious organization trying to restore and bring awareness regarding Sumerian and other Near Eastern religions). I particularly don't belong to any religious group (yet; sometimes I really long for one, as I used to belong to a Luciferian sect a few years ago before Lilith suddenly pulled me into Her burrowing-owl-y nest underground like the rabbit (cunicularia) pulled Alice into the Wonderland to meet the Queens), my belief system is quite of a temple of one human, with me being the devotee and the preacher to myself preaching about the Dark Mother Goddess, cosmic Queen of the Night.
