in an effort to rest my left hand from typing and also my usual exercises in doing random shit I don't have a lot of experience with, I have exported some .bmps and used the auto-tracer in inkscape (which i have done before for other things) so that i can turn this logo into an svg file with consistent angles and, you know, resizeability and sleekness.

The main thing I'm doing here is cleaning it up (fixing the angles in particular) and then I have to figure out how I want to do the shapes for the flame colors, which I'll probably do manually cause the color quantization tracing mode doesn't quite do what I need it to do lol

I don't even know if Seth is going to definitely be called Scratch (have been spitballing a variety of vigilante-friendly names in my notes) so I probably shouldn't be putting the effort into this on the off chance they end up called something like Aetherflame instead (lol) (like actually that's one of the names in my list) but this is the logo I have, so, you know.

anyway, practice, right? :P

#my cyst is actually not really any worse than usual but it seems i've been typing so much that my wrist has started to hurt occasionally #i can't imagine my typing setup (a large full-sized keyboard sitting on top of my laptop) is helping #i mean it's angled up which is inconvenient for other reasons but there's only so much i can do here ergonomically LOL #wipnadiart #arghdesign #scratchverse #scratch #FUN FACT: I was originally planning to go into graphic design in college! I Did Not Do That and i didn't learn anything about it at all #so this is me uhhh learning by doing which is my usual technique (cough spider-man modding)#(i ended up with a language studies focus and an art history subfocus after transferring to a different school and graduating there)#(this was less out of the blue than it seems; my original-original plan was in fact to major in Japanese and iirc minor in graphic design)#(neither of those things happened in part because they cut the number of japanese language programs at my first college lol)#(which led to me taking ancient greek and linguistics 101)#(which then led to me taking more linguistics classes and mandarin and arabic lol)
