I've just discovered your Rolan x Tav comic.

It's SO neat and accurate, in matter of deign and details!

In case you don't mind, of course, I have some questions you maybe have answered before:

What software do you work with? What kind of pencils do you use? How do you manage to set so neat and clean results? Do you need many references for that or is just a gift you have? How many years have you been drawing to achieve those results?

I don't mind at all! And I don't believe I've answered any of these questions before, at least not since I started doing my comics.

For software I mainly use Clip Studio, though I do also use PaintTool Sai (v2) for certain things that I feel it does better. All of my Mass Effect comics are lined in Sai, for example because things like armour have a lot more inorganic shapes and require long, sweeping, unbroken lines, and I like the pen stabilization in Sai far better than CSP's for that sort of thing.

For how long I've been doing art, I've been at it basically nonstop since I was 9 (so 20 years now, jeez). I was in an art program throughout highschool, went to college for art/animation for 4 years, and I'll have been working professionally as an animator for 8 years in May! So there's a lot of practice there for sure.

And yeah, I use a ton of references. Usually a good chunk of the time I'll spend on something is just collecting or making the reference material I need for it.

I'm putting the rest under a read more because it's pretty long:

(Tumblr keeps eating my formatting so sorry if this is a little scuffed)

Because I'm normally working full time and doing this stuff in my free time after hours and on weekends, if I know I'm going to be drawing something a *lot*, I'll usually put together some kind of reference for myself in 3D so I can take some of the brainwork out of it and get more out of my evenings even when I'm feeling fried. It also means I put as little extra strain on my wrist as possible because I injured it a number of years back and it gets angry at me if I go for too many hours in a day.

But to give you an example, for Ember I have a Sculpt of her head that I can use to reference any angle I want, or to draw directly over top of for tricky angles. How I draw her isn't quite 1:1 to the model, but it gives me a base structure and landmarks I can build on top of.

My basic workflow is to take the angle I want, draw over it using the model as a guide (while picking and choosing where to stay true to it and where to say fuck it and do what I want), then I get rid of the 3D and do another pass, tweaking and redrawing anything I'm not totally happy until I'm satisfied with how it looks. I draw Ember with a slightly softer, more rounded face than the model has, for instance. Just because something looks right in 3D doesn't always mean it looks right once translated to 2D and I don't care if something is technically "correct" if it doesn't feel right or isn't conveying what I want it to properly.

I'm also always checking reference screenshots to make sure I'm in the right ballpark of how something should look. I actually have a wall of photos next to my desk and while I didn't put them up for that purpose, it has come in surprisingly handy for quickly checking face or hair details when needed. I also just have a big folder of screenshots and other saved reference material.

I don't have a problem noooo~ 😅

Additionally, if my art has a background these days, there is a 100% chance that's a 3D set I built in Blender because I hate drawing backgrounds, but I do like building them in 3D.

Here's two examples: the area around Astarion's bed, which I built out of some of the in-game assets like a lego set (this was a pain in the ass, it probably would have been faster to just build it from scratch based on screenshots 😩) and a closet I modelled for something that's still a WIP.

I'll get the angle I want, have Blender generate some linework from it and then grab a basic render of it to slap into CSP so I can draw the characters over top of it.

And as for brushes: the main brush I use in CSP is just the default 'Real G-Pen', with opacity effects turned off and these pressure settings: (I like to keep it simple, and I have a bit of a heavy hand so the altered pen pressure just helps me get a smoother taper). I change up the stabilizer settings depending on what I'm doing. Lower for things that need short, quick lines like hair and higher for most other things.

For Sai, I use a 9B pencil I found a number of years ago on Deviantart (I think?) and I wish I could link you to the original post I got the settings from, but Deviantart's search is... bad and I'm unable to find it again.

I hope that answered all your questions! If not, feel free to ask more!

[Addie's smile turned sympathetic, their tail resuming its calm sway.]

They don't bother me at all! I… Actually think they're really cute. They look... cuddly.

[Addie glanced away bashfully, but the mention of Kinito made them jolt to attention.]

O-oh my scales, I hadn't even thought about what he would have been going through, I should go and-!

[Before they could finish that thought, they paused. All things considered, they… Were probably the second to last person he'd want to see right now… (the first being Sonny, of course) Still, they had a burning drive to at least see how he was doing...]

…g-give him some space. He's… Probably not in the mood to deal with me right now…

A-ah… Owl, too… I wonder if they were together when it happened… I really hope so.

[Perhaps… They could just peek in on their cams and not say anything…? But, argh, that just feels like a breach of privacy. That sure sounded like a great thing to do after destroying their trust…]

[It was then that they remembered having seen a message appear earlier, and they rushed to prop themselves up and hurriedly scan its contents.

S-sorry about that, Sec! I only just saw what you sent… But, I'll do that for sure! I'll be updating them on everything!

[Addie hesitated a bit, after that. They knew that Sec wasn't ever too fond of the takeover plan… And so, they appended with a twinge of guilt:]

How are you holding up, by the way…? U-um, I'm not sure how much of everything you saw, so…

-Addie

"A-Ah... You... Yes, You are probably correct... I am... Rather spent myself.. I cannot even imagine how-"

[He shut his mouth, fingers rhythmically tapping at his side. It was perhaps one of the more common nervous ticks he had...]

"I... I need to make this up to him... I.. I am sure he will see how much better this arrangement will be... He never even liked all the management stuff, He most likely just wanted the assets to make things for his... users."

[One of those knew aquatic arms went behind his neck, scratching at the hair that was standing up behind it. It seems he was already beginning to absentmindedly use them... So natural yet so foreign.]

"I-I'm sure I can grant access to some of that again... I-I would just need to make sure he doesn't overload things, And.. this should happen after I do all the repairs... Christ, the little fella hasn't updated these software drivers in years.."

[It definitely seems Sonny is feeling a tad better, seeing as though he has lost himself to rambling like this.]

"And I have... Another idea to make things up to him but... I have no idea where I would start..." [A finger grazes his mouth absentmindedly]

"Jade didn't want her files touched, But Sam..."

[He rambled to himself the entire time Addie typed their response to Sec.]

Mini React.js Tips #2 | Resources ✨

Continuing the #mini react tips series, it's time to understand what is going on with the folders and files in the default React project - they can be a bit confusing as to what folder/file does what~!

What you'll need:

know how to create a React project >> click

already taken a look around the files and folders themselves

What does the file structure look like?

✤ node_modules folder: contains all the dependencies and packages (tools, resources, code, or software libraries created by others) needed for your project to run properly! These dependencies are usually managed by a package manager, such as npm (Node Package Manager)!

✤ public folder: Holds static assets (files that don't change dynamically and remain fixed) that don't require any special processing before using them! These assets are things like images, icons, or files that can be used directly without going through any additional steps.

✤ src folder: This is where your main source code resides. 'src' is short for source.

✤ assets folder: This folder stores static assets such as images, logos, and similar files. This folder is handy for organizing and accessing these non-changing elements in your project.

✤ App.css: This file contains styles specific to the App component (we will learn what 'components' are in React in the next tips post~!).

✤ App.jsx: This is the main component of your React application. It's where you define the structure and behavior of your app. The .jsx extension means the file uses a mixture of both HTML and JavaScript - open the file and see for yourself~!

✤ index.css: This file contains global styles that apply to the entire project. Any styles defined in this file will be applied universally across different parts of your project, providing a consistent look and feel.

✤ main.jsx: This is the entry point of your application! In this file, the React app is rendered, meaning it's the starting point where the React components are translated into the actual HTML elements displayed in the browser. Would recommend not to delete as a beginner!!

✤ .eslintrc.cjs: This file is the ESLint configuration. ESLint (one of the dependencies installed) is a tool that helps maintain coding standards and identifies common errors in your code. This configuration file contains rules and settings that define how ESLint should analyze and check your code.

✤ .gitignore: This file specifies which files and folders should be ignored by Git when version-controlling your project. It helps to avoid committing unnecessary files. The node_modules folder is typically ignored.

✤ index.html: This is the main HTML file that serves as the entry point for your React application. It includes the necessary scripts and links to load your app.

✤ package.json: A metadata file for your project. It includes essential information about the project, such as its name, version, description, and configuration details. Also, it holds a list of dependencies needed for the project to run - when someone else has the project on their local machine and wants to set it up, they can use the information in the file to install all the listed dependencies via npm install.

✤ package-lock.json: This file's purpose is to lock down and record the exact versions of each installed dependency/package in your project. This ensures consistency across different environments when other developers or systems install the dependencies.

✤ README.md: This file typically contains information about your project, including how to set it up, use it, and any other relevant details.

✤ vite.config.js: This file contains the configuration settings for Vite, the build tool used for this React project. It may include options for development and production builds, plugins, and other build-related configurations.

Congratulations! You know what the default folders and files do! Have a play around and familiarise yourself with them~!

From La Stampa (translated from Italian):

“Make Finance Great Again,” Trump family makes its own cryptocurrency and allies with Silicon Valley It will be called “World Liberty Financial,” will have tech investors and real estate developers from Chase Herro and Zak Folkman to Steve Witkoff inside. Sons Eric and Donald Jr. will coordinate. And his backer Tyler Winklevoss jokes, “Donald has been orange-pilled, indoctrinated.” Jacopo Iacoboni Sept. 17, 2024 Updated 11:00 a.m. 3 minutes of reading

They want to do a kind of “make finance great again,” along the lines of MAGA, the election slogan and the Make America Great Again campaign. Donald Trump's sons, Don Jr. and Eric, of course with their father's imprimatur, are about to launch a new cryptocurrency platform that will be called “World Liberty Financial,” and will allow users to make even massive transactions without a bank getting in the way and extracting fees (and with a very low level of tax tracking, it should be added). A couple of concepts familiar to bitcoin fans, for example, but which the Trump family now has ambitions to decline on a large scale. It is not certain that this marriage between Trumpism and decentralized finance, DeFi, is a harbinger of only positive developments. The board of “World Liberty Financial” will also consist of former crypto investors such as Chase Herro and Zak Folkman, and Steve Witkoff, a real estate developer and old friend of Trump. But thanks to documents filed with the U.S. Federal Election Commission that we have been able to read we know that in general the entire Trump campaign - Make America Great Again Inc. - received money not only from Musk, but cryptocurrency from billionaire twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, who lead the cryptocurrency company Gemini: about $3.5 million in Bitcoin on July 19, the day after Trump's speech at the Milwaukee convention. The Winkelvosses also poured in money to America PAC, the tech investor-backed group that Musk helped launch in 2024 (Trump had bragged that Musk was giving him $45 million a month; Musk said his contribution is “at a much lower level”). Another co-founder of a cryptocurrency exchange, Jesse Powell, boss of Kraken, and venture capitalists Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz (who created a16z) who have invested billions of dollars in cryptocurrency startups, have also made endorsements and poured money into Trump. In short, for the Trump family to embark on this big cryptocurrency project is a natural consequence of the fact that these are almost becoming a Republican asset in the campaign, and the “libertarian” wing of the old Gop is now a kind of very, very rampant ideologized “cyberlibertarianism.” The real boss of the “tech bros” according to many is not Elon Musk, but Peter Thiel. Zuckerberg's longtime partner in Facebook, co-founder of PayPal, Thiel's fortune has at least doubled during the Trump presidency. Palantir-a much-discussed software company variously accused of extracting data from Americans and profiling them-has managed to get a contract from the Pentagon. Other donors to MAGA Inc include Jacob Halberg, Palantir's princely analyst, and Trish Duggan, a wealthy Scientology funder and friend of the tech bros. Trump's vice presidential candidate, J. D. Vance, traveled to Silicon Valley and the Bay Area, celebrating a dinner at the home of BitGo CEO Mike Belshe, 100 people each pouring in between $3,300 a plate and a $25,000 roundtable. Trump in 2021 called bitcoin a “fraud against the dollar.” A few weeks ago, speaking in Nashvill at the bitcoin fan conference, he promised, “The United States will become the crypto capital of the planet.” Better than his friend Putin's Russia, although this Trump did not say so explicitly. The fact is that after his speech, Tyler Winklevoss ran on X (now the realm of cyberlibertarians) and joked that Donald had been “orange-pilled,” making a Matrix analogy, had been “indoctrinated,” or had finally seen the real reality behind the appearances.

Exception handling ensures that your code gracefully manages unexpected situations, preventing crashes and delivering a seamless user experience.

Step 6: Exploring Input and Output Operations

In this step, you'll explore the realm of input and output (I/O) operations. Mastering I/O is crucial for reading and writing files, as well as interacting with users. You'll gain the ability to build applications that can efficiently process data and communicate effectively with users.

Step 7: Conquering Multi tasking

Java's support for multi tasking is a significant advantage. Understanding how to manage threads and synchronize their actions is vital for creating concurrent applications. Multithreading is the key to developing software that can handle multiple tasks simultaneously, making your applications responsive and scalable.

Step 8: Building Projects and Real-World Practice

Theory is only as valuable as its practical application. The final step involves applying what you've learned by building small projects. These projects serve as a proving ground for your skills and provide valuable additions to your portfolio. Whether it's a simple application or a more complex project, the act of building is where the real learning takes place.

As you step into this vibrant realm of Java, remember that continuous learning is the key to staying relevant and effective in the ever-evolving field of software development. Be open to exploring diverse applications, from web development to mobile apps and enterprise solutions, and never underestimate the power of hands-on practice.

My mental decline, as illustrated in Perforce. Fuck Perforce wHY IS PERFORCE INDUSTRY STANDARD???

For those who don’t know: Perforce or p4v is an application that allows people to check out files from a drive remotely and work on it from another drive so that multiple people can work on different aspects of one big project at the same time from different locations. Like submitting files to a shared folder in Google Drive, but without Google as the middle man. Of course, shit don’t always work right.

Above is my revision history of my project that has to be submitted after my Unreal Engine (game engine) files didn’t save right and fucking disappeared. Thankfully, my un-converted Autodesk Maya (3D modeling software) modkit (set of assets to build a level in a game engine) file was still there but holy shit if that didn’t save my work I was going to jump off a bridge.

material speculations: refinement

what It is a hand scanning device which connects to the user's implant to receive or manage any updates. The updates are capable of alternate the brain functions of the user, e.g. enhancing creativity or logical thinking. Just how we use google, users can update their implant if they need something, but else the hand scanning is rather a tool for the implant rather than playing an active part. However, similar to google, it tracks the user's behaviour and also shows the trendiest alternations currently around, potentially influencing the user to get certain enhancements.

who It is intended for everyone who can afford and is willing to receive an implant, but due to the surgical risk is only available for people above 18. It is produced by a private small company, which due to the sudden popularity of the implant is getting world wide recognition over night. Currently, not a vast majority uses it but it is already widely accepted the devices are in use and it is getting more and more common. You can compare how people view ChatGPT, as some people name it the next big step of technology, other feel the implant will negatively affect the human thinking in the long term.

why People are using it to enhance their own brain's capability, as the implant send certain neural impulses in order to strengthen neural connections in the specific parts of the brain. In this way e.g. the creative thinking of the user or the capability of seeing logical connection are vastly improved. So, people who want to receive an advantage to others are the most common users. Examples are people who have to make quick decisions, such as traders, or people who are in creative fields, e.g musicians and artists. It exists because of why phones and other technical advancements exist - to make life of humans more comfortable, more advanced, in short "better".

where It is produced and the surgery is executed in the US, as the laws in terms of human modification are rather liberal in comparison to other states. However, people are specifically travelling to the US to receive the implant and the hand scanner.

when As mentioned before, you use the hand scanner whenever you want some new updates. There are of course mandatory updates every once in a while, but else it is up to you to manage your updates.

how As the scanner is based on a software, it is possible to hack into in the system and upload your own modification to whatever you likings are. If you think a step further it is not excluded to hack into the scanner of another person and get access to its implant without the need of their hand scan. Also, the company themselves could potentially leak bugs into the system, causing the implant to malfunction, which is the case in the episode.

future If people are getting more dependent of the implant, the company could start prey on the user's assets for the sake of further development, e.g. tracking their data without their consent. As more and more people are using the implant, it could increase the gap between poor and rich, and possibly creating another form of two class system - the enhanced and the non-enhanced.
