Bored and I want to draw but my hand hurts so instead I designed and 3d printed some stencils at common aspect ratios to use for thumbnailing. These are all 2.5 inches on the long side.

4:5 aspect ratio thumbnail sketch stencil and paper with boxes drawn with it.

Stencils for thumbnail sketches at 1:1, 4:5, 3:4, 2:3, 9:16, and 1:2 aspect ratios

I've had this book on my wishlist for years but it was always so pricey. Finally snagged a copy. I'm such a huge fan of Guillermo del Toro and I love seeing how other creative people think and plan.

Hey fellow #artists I'm on a quest to improve some areas that I'm really weak in. I have books covering perspective and environments either on my shelf or on the way. What I'm lacking are books on animals and creature design, any recommendations?

I ordered all the supplies for cyanotype printing right before everything fell apart last month. Finally getting around to doing it. These are just to play around and learn. Used a photo of a deer skull and some dried milkweed pods that I took and printed them inverted on transparency film.

Starting to maybe feel like myself again. I'm not crying every day at least. There's still this knot of pain when I think of my friend, it's not fair that she's gone. She was too young.

One of the downsides of running a fairly large LARP-style game (it's run online so not exactly live) is that sometimes players make choices that lead to PvP and while I try to discourage it as much as possible it's sometimes unavoidable. This just happened and it sucks.

My whole apartment smells like split pea soup and I have "peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old" on loop in my head. I also have some nice crusty bread that will complete my medieval peasant dinner tonight.

It took me until 830pm to start dinner but at least I started it. I haven't been eating properly the past couple weeks, and I know that no matter how sad I am I can't keep not eating.

I just hate finished a book and I'm so angry at it. Repeat after me: Do not jam a bunch of incredibly unsubtle anime references into your book. It's not clever and it just takes the reader out of the book. It actually had a decent premise and plot but squandered it.

This has been one of the worst weeks of my life and I just am not coping well. To not get into much detail: my dad had major surgery and if still in the hospital, a close friend died suddenly at far too young an age, and my uncle sustained a serious life altering injury. Plus just everything else.

6 months of animating and it's finished! Here's my final animation that was presented as part of a hybrid animation and dance performance at NecronomiCon Providence on 8/15. This was so much work and time and I learned a lot that I'll use for the next one. #blender #3danimation youtu.be/nObTrlV40oU

Wow! The latest Blender update really improved volume rendering. My render times are so much faster now. Volumes used to nearly double my render time but look at this. I need to adjust the fig settings but barely over a second difference

Le Guin on the idea that there is a secret to getting good at writing.

I will dispose of the first myth as quickly as possible. The “secret” is skill. If you haven’t learned how to do something, the people who have may seem to be magicians, possessors of mysterious secrets. In a fairly simple art, such as making pie crust, there are certain teachable “secrets” of method that lead almost infallibly to good results; but in any complex art, such as housekeeping, piano-playing, clothes-making, or story-writing, there are so many techniques, skills, choices of method, so many variables, so many “secrets,” some teachable and some not, that you can learn them only by methodical, repeated, long-continued practice — in other words, by work.
