I like to make mascots for our work products -- thinking about turning them into trading cards and giving them out to the dev teams that work on them #pixelart #pixelartist #gamedev #indiedev #characterdesign

I spent the price of a PS5 upgrading an 8-year-old HP desktop instead of... buying a PS5. Then I installed Bazzite on an NVIDIA GPU despite several very large warnings. But it was mostly a success! I wrote about the adventure here: gettegarage.substack.com/p/i-spent-ps... #linux #gaming #bazzite

Him: "why are you standing on that tortoise?" The theme for this was "re-imagine something from the museum", so I decided to paint the sculpture (titled: "Figure standing on a tortoise") into a scene. if anyone has any tips on photographing paintings without glare pls help #oilpaint #art #paint

working on my game and finally happy with how the spawning and terrain forming algorithms are working together. So much so that I think I'm actually going to work on something else. Like inventory But code isn't fun to share, so I've also been practicing with gouache #art #gouache #figure

I decided instead of making things up as I go, I'd take an actual oil painting class (IN PERSON!) so someone could remind me which end of the brush to use Behold! A monochromatic pear! I'll be taking all of your pear-shaped commissions now #oilpainting #traditionalart #art

Day 5 sketching 90s sports cards: as every kid in the 90s I was a big Bulls fan despite not living anywhere near Chicago. I'm not even sure I ever watched an NBA game, but I did see Space Jam #art #drawing #sketchbook #chicagobulls

Back working on bird habitats -- Today's progress is getting the habitat (e.g. trees) to update the habitat and terrain. Finally got the growth and shade mechanic so you can go from meadow -> forest with a few trees #gamedev #godot #indiedev #forthebirds #devlog

I'd like to say my pencil is this small because I've used it a lot, but in reality I'm clumsy and keep dropping it and breaking the end #art #graphite #pencilsketch #sketchbook

Spent the last hour getting monogame running on my raspberry pi. I'm not totally sure why I'm putting a game dev workflow on a raspberry pi, but I like it. Maybe I'm procrastinating again. #monogame #raspberrypi #gamedev #indiegames
