I've started trying to do one of these abstract drawings in my sketchbook per day. I spend no more than 10-15 minutes on each and I use a cheap, blunt blue mechanical pencil so I don't care too much about them having particularly good linework

The heat is STILL out at work. This is day 8 of no heat during a snowy weather event. They need to replace a part and it's a hard to get thing apparently. Part's on backorder or something 😵‍💫

"I'm a content creator" Do you not respect yourself and your own craft enough to be specific (which includes generalists, there are still specific-enough words for those who do many things), are you unaware you are worth more than corporate-adjacent jargon, or is it an admission to churning out slop

I should trust my own research on PC building more and lay off on bugging people so much because some people I'm asking are getting annoyed because I'm making some executive decisions against their advice and so they're like "stop asking me for advice if you're gonna be like that" 😔

I think I've improved at least slightly

Me, running away from my problems

YOU DON'T SAY. :0

Why am I so against generative AI in games? Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

This is Miyamoto. Filming is underway for the live-action film of The Legend of Zelda in a lush, natural setting, with Bo Bragason-san who will play Zelda and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth-san who will play Link (1/2).

Costume details: 1. Triforce pattern on Zelda's tunic. 2. Link's green tunic is frayed and very simply sown together. Even the threads used in the weaving of the fabric are not even shades of green. Also Link has a necklace? I see the hemp string. Costume design already telling a story. I like it!

Do not argue about the definition of "genAI" in one context or another with people, lol

Hey Everyone! In case you were not aware, the Belugas in Canada's Marineland (now defunct) are facing euthanasia. There is an option to relocate them to a sanctuary, but we need to make our voices heard. Please sign the petition to help! c.org/xnfhNcnjqW

@moldyclay.bsky.social told me that Raphica in HW Age of Imprisonment is basically just Claude von Riegan but as a Rito. Sold. 🔥

I GOT MY.JOB BAKC

The new Metroid Prime 4 trailer is so hype omg. Were some of those troopers who I thought they were...? There could be some crazy continuity stuff happening. I CANT WAIT

TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO BACK PAPER PLATES.

I think most artists hit a point where they’re like, well if I can’t be the best artist, I shall be the most ME artist.

Once again, a discussion of valid dislike of generative machine learning LLMs' impacts on creatives I was in devolved into a semantical argument, because "AI" is a nebulous buzzword that means whatever people want it to mean. 🫩

windows updated and now literally everything is broken or behaving weirdly. Right now I am typing on my laptop's keyboard and my wired RGB keyboard is reacting as if I am typing on *it*. I do not think that is normal.

Take me back to the time when "AI community" meant "people who make art with alcohol ink"

I legit cannot figure out if letter mail is subject to tariffs. If I buy stickers from Canada and they come in a letter envelope, do I need to pay a tariff? Seems like a simple question but I'll probably have to ask the PO directly I feel like google searches get less and less helpful by the day 🫩

Interactions with small environmental details--petting animals, being able to sit down on stools, that kind of stuff. Might seem weird but nothing takes me out of it like meeting a dog and your character cannot interact with it. I don't care if it doesn't have a gameplay advantage. LET ME PET IT

So because I work out of a park visitor center, I just got on indefinite unpaid vacation due to the government shutdown! Yay. 🙃 Time for the annual reminder that my ko-fi donation jar exists! ko-fi.com/0li0s

I remember this game grumps quote, went something along the likes of “if you ever see a hate comment, just read it in Dale Gribble’s voice from King of the Hill, loses all effect.”

oh here's the website btw! repeaterstamps.com

OMG I JUST DISCOVERED THE COOLEST THING EVER. There was a Kickstarter for SCREENTONE STAMPS and it was successful and the guy opened an online store for them!

I suffered from an excruciating stomachache all day. Maybe I can at least enjoy Kirby Air Riders demo...

an FAQ here is "but you're a designer, just design those bits yourself" well I would, but that's a different comm option; I charge a consultation fee if you need me to do more than pull details from a ref.

Absolutely the worst thing to provide an artist. Fluffy words and bad sketches are great, detailed "polished" work is over prescriptive ... and also, y'know, AI. What an insult.

The rough layout has been decided as a draft design. Now the real work begins. #Illustration #LineArt #CommentPls

guess who just got Rebelle 8 for only $40 (MSRP $90)

I don't feel like drawing anything for my charms today so maybe I will just keep watching videos on using cutting machines so I can feel somewhat productive.

Sometimes I see people like 20 tweets deep into an argument with Grok. Like, what are you doing brother? You are trying to win an argument with a vending machine.

Today's ADHD adventure is me deciding to try making keychains/character charms from shrink plastic. First thing is to make a size ref. Took several attempts to make one of each type that was good enough for its purpose...and I forgot a charm hole on the metric one 🫠

lil crop of some birbs. A bunch of the illustrations were sketches, most of them not in color. But coloring this rougher stuff was actually pretty fun~ #birds #sciart #mojavedesert
