News?

This:

Currently trying myself on a magazine for Technoise that will feature a sort of interview (I already mentioned in one of my previous text posts) taken during Chrome Chamber Rave where they picked Ryder to tell about it.

Above is a part of the cover (ofc I'll place Ryder on it, hello?). It took me a while to find a name for it. I've had a lot titles on mind, even nearly done a 'Tech Mag' sorta logo (see underneath) but I didn't vibe with the name and I had probably five different Cover versions that do all not exist anymore. I still do not know 100% where it will go and how the pages gonna look but I'll stay with '160+ BPM' for the title as this is the number where the definition of HardTech usually starts if I'm not wrong.

Updated Thyjs wardrobe and outfits

in three evening sessions.

It's not final-final yet but biggest part is done. I will tweak and refine him constantly as I see more and more armor stuff and militech xl mods popping up (to my luck hehe). There's no need to have it 100% updated yet as he's not going to be npv yet but I've wanted his stuff installed and sorted out older outfits that didn't match anymore since he's now also more developed than before.

I've wanted him to have more white and silver at first but his soldier concept is much stronger so he predominantly stays with green and earth tones + camo but the white/silver concept will stay for a few outfits (e.g. black and white themed with Ryder). I've added more (neon) orange to him as well. Oranje is the national color of the Dutch anyways and I saw it a lot in combination with green as well.

Plan:

tomorrow I'll update Jay with some clothing mods and edit his outfits maybe a little as well. And then I'll throw in V and take Twin Pics for their upcoming Birthday (27th)!

Muriel bjd campaign ends tomorrow, 10/5!

Good morning! I wanted to share the project update from my Muriel bjd Kickstarter here in case any of you all are following along!

The campaign is coming to a close. I saw a few people had added multiple Muriels and, with all the color options available, I thought I'd increase the add-on quantity from 2 to 3 for the doll categories. Each doll add-on should have a maximum quantity of 3 now, so if you have been wanting to add an extra doll or two, you can! This way, you can get CMYK if you want (or any other color combo).

I've been printing my first official Muriel dolls. First, I'll finish printing the mini I'm working on, and then I will do a big version testing the other dye type. I plan to use these two as my instructional video Muriels for the kits! We'll go through assembly on each one and I'll show it using common household tools (with the option of some other things you can buy to make it faster/easier). Hopefully this will make it more accessible for those of you who aren't experienced in ball-jointed dolls (but are about to be...lol)

I thought I'd share some art of Muriel here, as some of you probably haven't seen it. It's fun looking back on these drawings and seeing how she and her misprints evolved.

Please let me know if you have any questions before the campaign ends! I will still be updating here after the campaign ends and sharing progress photos of the dolls; expect some fun printer build plate photos and lots of fun colors (unless yall order the same thing… lol).

I'm so excited to get started on these! Thank you all so much for joining me on my first Kickstarter journey.

✨Weekly Progress 2023 #14, 15, 16✨

Three weeks worth of updates...?! To be fair, I'm not really sure who reads these lol. But it's always nice to have a good review for myself of what happened in the past week.

Week #14

Tested EKL textbox code

Made EKL textboxes

Coded EKL textboxes in

Sketched O2A2 CG BG

Lined + colored O2A2 CG BG

Lined + colored O2A2 CG base

Made a cherry blossom for snowblossom code

Wrote 192 words for SYVNH

I started the journey of making the manga-like GUI for Exorcist Killing Lie that I dreamed of. Unfortunately I can't upload the video here, so there are some screenshots. You can see a video version on twitter.

Thinking I wasn't going to make my own O2A2 project, I worked as the artist for For the First Time, which has been released and can be played here! Here are some progress shots for how the BG/sprite/CG was made:

Week #15

Wrote 500+ words for SYVNH

Finished O2A2 sprite

Added BG for SYVNH code

Did some testing, updated some of the code for new BG variations

Drew swings scene for EKL

Came up with a new O2A2 idea

Felicity's sprite for For the First Time was finished early during Week #15! I actually had the sprite split up in like 10 different pieces to give her hair a slight sway in the wind (: This can be seen in the game itself, and I was happy I put in the work for it.

A variety of programming fixes were made to SYVNH Demo 2.0 at this time, coming up with Demo 2.1 that (spoiler) will be released during Week #16.

Nearly each scene of Exorcist Killing Lie has to be tested and built up for the manga-like effect, which is why I had to plan every scene prior to doing any art. This is a test of the swings scene in SAI. Coding will be a future nightmare for another time ✨

...And then I came up with a new O2A2 idea for a solo project............ :')

Week #16

Wrote O2A2 script

Made GUI for O2A2

Made O2A2 CG

Put together O2A2 project and submitted it

Started script for KHP

Tested SYVNH Demo 2.1

Made tweets

Updated SYVNH guide

Uploaded SYVNH 2.1

Wrote 1k+ words for SYVNH

Drew art for KYF postmortem and posted postmortem

Wrote this tumblr devlog post

The first half of this week can be summarized as working on my O2A2 solo project, Kill your Feelings, which can be played here! If you're interested in my thoughts, you can read my postmortem here.

Then the second half of the week was doing final testing for SYVNH Demo 2.1 and releasing it, which you can read about here.

And also I got bored at work and started doing some writing at lunch for Killer Hiding Place, which I'll talk about more if the writing gets anywhere haha.

I probably should make separate posts for all the release announcements, but... uh... I'll do that later. It's 9:50PM on a Sunday night, that's the end of my devweek. So more updates will come tomorrow or later!

So I got my new laptop all up and running and after that I felt comfortable wiping and reinstalling the OS on my old laptop. It's a purple HP stream which has been running on Ubuntu 16 for like eight years or something. The touchpad has always been weird, so I've had tap-to-click disabled for pretty much that entire time, which made it work fine until recently when a) touchpad motion started glitching and I had to keep finding new ways to get it to reset and start behaving reasonably and b) the left click button started to wear out, probably from overuse, and stop registering clicks. So I was like "oh this machine is wearing out, it's on its last legs anyway, it's time to replace it" and anyway I like having a backup laptop that still mostly works, and the pink HP stream no longer counts because I killed its battery. I should hand that one in for recycling soon.

For a while I've had it in my mind that my next laptop was going to be a framework one, and maybe I could make it last longer because of the repairability factor. What actually triggered the purchase was the fact that the purple HP stream stopped getting updates for firefox on 16 LTS, and its specs are too low to upgrade to a later version of Ubuntu Desktop. Then the streaming services started refusing to work on the old firefox version.

The framework 13 model I built is great for streaming! The extra power really helps it stay smooth.

Anyway once I had that all set up and working, I looked at my old machine and was like "okay upgrading straight to desktop 22 is not going to work on this colorful toy of a laptop so I am going to try wiping the whole thing and replacing it with Ubuntu mate 22."

Well, now tap to click works fine, so the button wearing out is not such a big deal! There must be better drivers or something.

I chose a minimal install to save space, loaded most of my old files back on but no music, and I have 9gb remaining that I can choose what to do with. I could probably get both GIMP and LibreOffice on here, but the problem with that is then I start producing files. LibreOffice files are probably fine but GIMP ones can eat the space fast. I'm going to skip rhythmbox and do all audio things on my new laptop for now. I think I'll wait on the other downloads until I find I want them. It'll probably come up soon.

I downloaded redshift, because mate doesn't seem to have the night light utility that desktop 22 comes with, but it's not working. I might try and figure out how to fix it or I might just suffer through the blue light. It depends.

Anyway I think this purple one is going to stay as my default writing and fiddling around on the internet laptop for a while yet, so I can save the new one for streaming and other more processing intensive activities. Today I was watching a stream on discord on the new laptop and chatting about it on the old one! That was nice.

I've been too busy to write what with computer issues and helping my friend move, but it seems like those things have involved enough creativity to keep me from going bonkers so far! Still, I'm going to try to set aside some time for writing tomorrow after work, especially if I can't get any done the rest of tonight.

Inktober Day 4: Spell

I'll be inking this one in tomorrow because I LITERALLY just thought of the idea at like 10:30 pm smh but here's the basic sketch of Magnus Bane casting his spell /on all of us/ his sword (which will be colored blood red tomorrow I promise cause I LIVE for that shit) and flashing his beautiful cat's eyes at the camera. Alec is Shook™. Will probably be adding clothes tomorrow too cause as much as I like this look I feel like he needs some real clothes I just. Can't think of any right now lmao. So yeah.

Also does anyone know how to do strike throughs on mobile?

UPDATE: see the notes/my reblog for the final inked version!
