Milk texture looks a little thick potentially. Not sure. I think people often overdo it from a foam perspective. Looking for maybe 20-25% stretch in terms of volume increase from the foam.Try to incorporate the air at the begining of the steaming process and then spend the rest of the time just vortexing that foam in so that it's silky smooth.
I also see your layers, particularly the base is a little washed out, which likely means you're pouring a little too slow at the beginning or from to steep an angle.
You can try transferring pitchers. I always steam in a smaller jug and transfer to a larger one for pouring. Definitely helped a lot for me, particularly with nailing down the angles.
Once you nail the base and the pouring speed it becomes a lot easier to get more detail in your subsequent layers.
I’m looking for a good butler. Interested in good honest work OP?
Ok we get it you're better than us!
My GF likes my blobby faces I do and to me that's all that matters 😅
Hell yeah! My gf said "that's almost a heart" and I'm (We're) loving it!
I’m more interested in the weightlifting squirrel than the latte art

So I can do moderately OK art, but I don’t seem To ever be able to break through to the next level of detail and complexity. It’s eluded me for years

Trying to get more contrast has always been an aim. Not that it mattters much to my enjoyment
Totally. 10/10 would drink happily. Also your pours are already better than 90% of trained baristas tbh
People really like the stickers

beautiful.. just the way i take my coffee 🙌
how long did you learn this?
don't tell me what to do
That's impressive given that cup is about 4 times your size and you still have the energy for weightlifting afterwards

W-W-3 is my favorite pour too :D

You will never get good latte art with skim milk.
