I got a laptop with Windows 11 for an IT course so I can get certified, and doing the first time device set-up for it made me want to commit unspeakable violence

Windows 11 should not exist, no one should use it for any reason, it puts ads in the file explorer and has made it so file searches are also web searches and this cannot be turned off except through registry editing. Whoever is responsible for those decisions should be killed, full stop.

Switch to linux, it's free and it's good.

apparently, I managed to kick myself and colourize this sketch from 2022. I just forgot to post it. the funky colors and contrast is a result of how it got scanned. I originally didn't intend for it to turn out this way but really liked the result and decided to keep it.

. . . F.I.N.A.L.L.Y. after what feels like 30 years, I've finished this piece. I kid you not when I say I made the base sketch back in September 2022. It went through so many changes, loops, postponing, and adjustments, that I genuinely only finalized it this morning. *ੈ✩‧₊˚⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ My primary intention was to play with opposites [cold / warm, soft / rugged, serene / fiery] and, which I only realized now, the final version being a full-on mixed media project [I made the sketch and lineart traditionally and colors + decorations digitally] fits in with that just perfectly. *ੈ✩‧₊˚⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ I'm not sure how to feel about the outcome. There are things I like, such as the quality of the lineart and the color contrasts. However, I also spot my good old weaknesses such as lacking anatomy, stiffness, and a hampering fear of rendering. One thing I definitely learned while working on this though, was to focus on finishing a project before I move on to the next. Fingers crossed I'll be able to keep up with that. 🤞

SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.

Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.

Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.

It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

We updated the jam demo!

It's exactly what the title says lol.

If you're curious to know more about the team's thoughts as we hit the end of May, you can read about it here -> LINK

But the long story short is that we're still in production mode for the extended demo. It's a mixed bag of emotions from all of us for sure, but we're optimistically looking forward to the upcoming months because we're SO SO close to the finish line!

Haha I'm actually shaking a little from excitement and nervousness because you guys finally get a taste of what we've been working on for nearly a year :,) It's really been a nerve-wracking night for me having to stay up for this exact moment, but I'm ultimately really proud of what we get to show y'all. So please, enjoy! And thank you for your patience and support all this time. <3

✧ Ride Every Wave ✧

...to be frank, this is blatant self-advertising. about a week ago I published my applyfic "Ride Every Wave" on Wattpad. unfortunately, that site HATES users without a lot of moots so I didn't get many applications yet. I'm very motivated to write this story, though, and would genuinely feel crestfallen if it were to flop. if you like [summer] stories about surfing, cafés / coffeeshops, teamwork, found family, and the good old "how to save an insolvent small business from closing down", it'd mean the world to me if you'd check out Ride Every Wave and drop a character. :) *✧. click HERE to jump right into the story! .✧ *
