O yeah, and a blind contour for #inktober #reckless #art

Fine fine here’s a #sigilcraft for #inktober

#inktober #inktoberday8 #writing #inventedalphabet #sigils #reckless I think sigilcraft is the next thing to conquer. (That there’s a Beak grind #fountainpen)

Okayyyy Rive announced their Cadet level of membership, which is way more affordable than AE. I am generally against web apps and things I can't download and keep forever, but... maybe I should also learn Rive? *throws it on the list* AM I BACK AT SCHOOL OR WHAT Context: leaving Adobe.

Do you kids even realize how magical it is to copy a pro-level file over on a device (which happens to be the size of your foot) and then grab it on a different computer with a different OS, without using a USB drive, without waiting an hour, without conversion cables? Man we get to be LAZY now!

While I do appreciate the positive re-enforcement, ChatGPT telling me all my questions are excellent is tripping me up. I'm asking robotically, I want a robotic no-BS response. *Asks simple queston* Whoa wait I'm good at asking questions? I hadn't even considered that... what was I doing again?

So like, Digital fae? What's their deal?

Why are we still using distance pinch for tiny buttons in XR? Especially looking at Meta OS. This isn’t a smartphone, we don’t have mice. Give me smackable buttons or gestuuurrreeesssss

#inktober #inktoberday6 #pierce #art #ballpoint I did a scary thing a couple months ago that I’d wanted to do forever: pierced my tragus! I had so much adrenaline that it didn’t hurt and I almost passed out after. The piercer gave me Capri Sun and I was very cared for.

Lemme pet ur cats

Arts n crafts project update

#inktober #inktoberday5 #deer #art Got a little feathering into the blue, darn!

Meta should use their AI powers to make live translated captions of Instagram videos…. Seems obvious…

Butterflies for an #art project!

#inktober #inktoberday4 #murky

I love that my burly-ass desktop PC is now the designation for heavy-duty work, and all my crafty cozy paper projects can be easily supplemented with just my iPad. No spinning fans, just peace.

The Affinity line of apps are free on iPad right now!!!!!!!!!

TIL custom ringtones can be made in GarageBand! Well this changes EVERYTHING

#inktober #inktoberday3 #crown

Seems like a good month to replay/finish Night in the Woods... Last time I played it I bawled at the Hot Topic scene and then quit my corporate job soon after.

me: wth why is my computer rendering video so smoothly?! it's almost like-- also me: I upgraded to an i9-14900K and a 5060Ti?! oh right, same monitor but different computer guts...

Amazon changed their brand colors overnight (wtf) and now it feels like Home Depot

#inktober #inktoberday2 #inktober25 “Weave”

Are open-source cars gonna be a Thing in the next 15 years?

#inktoberday1 #mustache I ran outta ink lksdj;aksjfa;fd

It's 2025 and Gmail *still* doesn't have tabbed emails! Everyone put pressure on them, tabbed emails are the best.

...Still looking for my glasses, realized VR is a lot more comfortable re: eye strain without them....

If anyone finds my glasses, let me know.... Dang that was my backup pair, too...

I figured out VERTEX COLORS YEAHHHHHHHHHHH #QuillVR into #blender into #GODOT It may be a low-quality sculpt, but this was a really good exercise to finally learn repeating shapes and how to "properly" sculpt. OH AND ALSO MY FIRST TIME EVER OPENING GODOT ok that's enough for one night! Happy October

Playing emotional songs on piano is literally pushing buttons to push peoples’ buttons.

I want the Macromedia Flash MX Actionscript 2.0 version of XR

Just got Affinity on desktop and, gotta say, I still prefer Krita for saving tasks.

Great Windows 11 #W11 hacks: -StartAllBack gives you OS UI control, if you prefer the look and feel of W10! www.startallback.com -PowerToys has a bunch of rad Windows features, like keeping windows always on top, a colorpicker that works anywhere, and so much more! apps.microsoft.com/detail/xp89d...

Animations for #CuteWebPet, made entirely on an airplane, in theaters and in AirBnB downtime all in @callipeg.bsky.social! Much more to make… #animation

Beauty is in the googleyeyes of the beholder.

Hehe I’m a tea dragon!

So getting ready to file my Adobe divorce paperwork. I only want custody over After Effects, that's IT

Quick Quill VR dragon! Big thing I practiced this time: CAMERA MOVE, ooo fancy. I *did* try to do puppeted group animation, but without anchor point control (or rather, without watching any youtube tutorials) I had lousy luck and opted for the smushing-it-like-clay method.

Go go little hedgehog! #QuillVR

So I have shaky hands. My favorite pens are REALLY heavy, partially because they stabilize my hand. Using VR, I'm noticing that a lot of menus and items that can be grabbed accentuate the little shakes my hands have, because there's no weight to stabilize. Should we design with micro-lerps?

I can't tell if Quill is legitimately like the QUICKEST animation tool ever or if I'm just blissfully losing time in it!

Okay, I think I'm getting the hang of #Quill #animation :D #day3 Still lots to learn but learning lots with each piece!

I worry that AI is going to take out the fun and practiced skill for people who otherwise may find great joy in doing photo editing to make things like cryptids. Like, that AI will become the "easy answer" to doing something, instead of maybe finding out the hard way that making things is enjoyable.

Tonight's #Quillustration: transforming limbs animation mixed with a little frame-by-frame! The "cool camera move" was a side effect of me not having a solid ground plane for him to walk on.

Everything we visually know about jackalopes is a LIE! They're supposed to have ANTELOPE horns, not antlers! AAAA Do I, in teaching the masses what a jackalope looks like, teach them the traditional way (the original was technically incorrect), or fix history?!

Kinda blows my mind that there are new social media AI apps -- as if there's not enough content already being created by humans? Are they trying to make the app as the end goal, or build a technology that can eventually assist in pipelines?
