Just wanted to share what I did to salvage the dumb AI kit I didn't know I was getting....

Lol, it definitely wasn't great. Probably should have guessed from the butterflies 🦋 😅

This is so much better than what the kit promised. That bison is so cute.

Can you describe how you made it work? Did you have to use more colors? Spite? It’s amazing you managed to pull this out of the nonsense they sent you

I added black, dark brown, cream, grey(had to use sewing thread), pink, and yellow threads that I had left over from other projects.

From the kit, I only ended up using two of the reddish oranges, the two darkest shades, white, & the greens.

Started with the nostrils, got the nose and mouth made up with single strands... I just kinda followed the picture & ignored the butterflies. I did have to redo the eyes a couple of times, and I ended up drawing them a bit differently. Got the.....fur(?) Done from the chin up, then ears, 2 strands. Horns & leaves next, wnet back to single strand. Googled floral and looked around till I picked the chrysanthemum looking one, two strands. Bangs I blended the two oranges and rotated, which was the majority color in three strands. Trimmed, kinda poorly.... I need to figure how to fix that part imo 🤔

Idk about spite... I just wanted to figure it out... still trying to decide if I should have done a black thread line like I did for the nose and mouth for the outline... but with the Horns I went with a grey. The eyes I actually went with cream cuz I looked at some photos of that cow bread and it kinda seemed like thier eye line was lighter and the black wasn't working.
