This is how easy it is to make a "placeholder" asset without using genAI. Here, I'll include my placeholder NPC sprite so you can use for free! No need for costly LLM subscriptions, you're welcome!

We just discovered that this rocky wall tile kinda looks like a frog when put next to a mirrored tile... It's not just me, right? Can you see the frog too?

The "load game" screen. For some reason, the "init()" function in the save_data resource script is called 43 times when I open this menu. I have no idea why. Is it worth fixing? Maybe not. But it bugs me.

By the way, I find alt texts really difficult to write. I'm sorry if anyone is disappointed by this. That said, if you are better at it than me, you're more than welcome to write me an alt text for anything I made. I'll make a new post with alt text (and of course give you credit, if you want).

I took the train to see my sister. It was nice, but apparently fronting for the whole day is really tiring. #plural #pluralart #comic

Does Krita let you save text presets? Or do I just have to set everything manually every time I create new text?

Doing some work on the game again. Need to decorate and populate this train station after that progress erasing Incident last month

This could potentially be a problem for me in the long run if I'm using Krita. I have about 500GB free at the moment, which of course would take awhile to fill up with only .kra files... But it's not exactly negligible either

Amanda 🏳️‍⚧️ @gravitybreakcat.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

I just discovered Krita documents get absolutely massive what the heck? Sure canvas size isn't small, but I think this is way too much?

Krita's fill tool is acting broken to me. It acts like it's opacity is lowered, but my opacity is set to 100% so I'm not sure what's going on here

Amanda 🏳️‍⚧️ @gravitybreakcat.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

When did "AI art" first start being a thing? I searched for images from prior to 2023, but I swear some of the results are AI. Did all this start earlier than I remember?

100

Amanda 🏳️‍⚧️ @gravitybreakcat.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

I have to admit, the wooden jointed artist doll I bought is a bit more useful than I gave it credit for. It's not as poseable as I'd hoped (and I don't think my expectations were unrealistic). But it is kinda nice for just quickly reminding myself of very basic perspective and anatomy stuff.

130

Amanda 🏳️‍⚧️ @gravitybreakcat.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

Really all I want is a way to put up a bunch of images on my screen, and save that arrangement of images so I can easily open it again. The closest I have currently is to create a second krita document for said images and open in a separate window. But that's not really ideal

120

Amanda 🏳️‍⚧️ @gravitybreakcat.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

Even the stuff that people recommended four years ago is infested with AI now, so limiting the date range didn't really do much to help

000

Amanda 🏳️‍⚧️ @gravitybreakcat.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

Sorry for just venting my frustrations on here. I just turned on the computer wanting to make art, and instead I'm finding myself getting griefed by the AI bubble 😑

030

Amanda 🏳️‍⚧️ @gravitybreakcat.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

Apparently setting a custom date range for your search doesn't actually limit the results to things from within that range. Because I assume the webpage titled "Best Open Source Linux Drawing Software 2026" is not from before 2023

Amanda 🏳️‍⚧️ @gravitybreakcat.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

Looking for some simple moodboard sort of thing for linux, so I can just... easily look at all the images and stuff that are relevant to what I'm currently working on. And I just keep finding articles recommending me "AI-powered" this and that. I hate this timeline

120

Amanda 🏳️‍⚧️ @gravitybreakcat.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

Excuser me @duckduckgo.com, but is it really true that you don't let me set a custom date range when searching images? I just wanna look at stuff from before 2022 Do I really need to go back to Google in order to look for art references without getting served AI slop? Please change this, thank you

020

Amanda 🏳️‍⚧️ @gravitybreakcat.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

Is there a way to limit an image search to images from the pre-ai era? I just wanna get some art inspiration without having to worry about sorting through slop

The Krita text tool may be actually usable now, but I don't like this thing where it keeps crashing frequently. I would much rather it didn't do that

010

Amanda 🏳️‍⚧️ @gravitybreakcat.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

Trying to find out if Krita has an official stance on AI. I would imagine the people working on Krita are artists and therefore not fans of genAI, but I wanna make sure that I don't update Krita one day and find that it's gotten all slopified

110

Amanda 🏳️‍⚧️ @gravitybreakcat.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

Okay, I found how to do it. It wasn't very hard. Just had to go into "layer style" > "outer glow"

100

Amanda 🏳️‍⚧️ @gravitybreakcat.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

Trying to get used to Krita again, and I just keep missing features I got used to in ClipStudio. Like getting to add an outline to a text layer (or to anything). Can you do that in Krita? Because I can't find anything like it.

Amanda 🏳️‍⚧️ @gravitybreakcat.bsky.social · 18/06/2026

Anyway I have a font of my own handwriting. I used to letter May Contain Multitudes by hand, but that's kinda difficult because I'm very bad at writing by hand. It was a lot of effort to make it readable. So I ended up making my own font. It's not beautiful, but it's not supposed to be.

140

Amanda 🏳️‍⚧️ @gravitybreakcat.bsky.social · 18/06/2026

Trying to add fonts to Krita. It should not be hard, but so far I've been completely unable to do it. I once again find myself thinking "I wish I was using ClipStudio".

Amanda 🏳️‍⚧️ @gravitybreakcat.bsky.social · 11/06/2026

Disappointed with that wooden artist doll I got. I understand that a wooden physical object is going to be less flexible than a digital 3D model, but I can't even move the limbs enough to make any interesting poses with it.

Splash screen for our game (temporary, because I do want to make real logo for it)

Amanda 🏳️‍⚧️ @gravitybreakcat.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

Okay, this is the worst one yet! They're obviously the same doll you just named "Adam" and "Eva" for implied gendering. You're literally using the same picture! I love that one of the "Adams" is 3 SEK (about 0.3 euro) more expensive than it's "Eva" equivalent. You pay extra for the invisible penis?

020

Amanda 🏳️‍⚧️ @gravitybreakcat.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

Was looking for one of those poseable dolls and I'm amused by the fact that these are the two genders, apparently. One of them is listed as male and the other as female, and I challenge you to find which is which without looking at the answer. I mean, neither of them have boobs?

artist hack: you can use your own photos as references however you want. You can even trace them if need be! This is how I'm currently solving a case of "I just can't figure out how to draw this hand pose"

got that new drawing glove and now I'm drawing again

Amanda 🏳️‍⚧️ @gravitybreakcat.bsky.social · 03/03/2026

I need to get a new artist glove. I lost the one I had (no idea where it's hiding), so I did order another one but it turned out to be child sized... My own fault because it was listed as "S" size, I just figured my hands aren't very big and it can't be that tight of a fit. But it's super tiny.

Amanda 🏳️‍⚧️ @gravitybreakcat.bsky.social · 10/02/2026

Still not getting that XP-pen shortcut remote to work properly. It only works if I connect it through the USB cable, which makes it distinctly not wireless... It may be because I'm using Linux but... it says on the box it's supposed to work with Linux, so not my fault expecting that to be true...

In more fun news, I'm now at the point where I'm trying to learn how to set up the game's main quest and story to work properly! Like, quest flags and dialogue and stuff. I have no idea what I'm doing, but learning new stuff is fun

Trying to figure out why my CP-pen tablet is only working properly when work area is set to "all monitors", despite the fact that it's only interacting with the bottom monitor (the screen on the tablet). If I actually switch to the tablet being the work area, it only uses the bottom half of it

Amanda 🏳️‍⚧️ @gravitybreakcat.bsky.social · 19/12/2025

It was only yesterday I realized I do not, in fact, have to write custom code to make our game's music loop properly. You can just put a region in the waw and Godot will know where the loop begins and ends lol

metaphorically banging my head against the keyboard trying to figure out how the get a Godot shader to do what I want it to do. Also feeling embarrassed because apparently the thing I don't understand is so basic that people can't even comprehend what it is I need help with

I checked the "deterministic" box in the AnimationPlayer and it somehow turned the player into a ghost
