  1. Hello everyone!

    I wanted to re-introduce my work as I'm launching my website :)

    My debut series is "Adi Shakti", which is expected to launch in 2027. I love character art, so I paired character reveals with vignettes, so readers can have an idea of my characters in what will be a multi-POV cast. They're posted on IG, and more sustainably, on my website.

  2. Day 26 of #Arttrober is Tina Armstrong of the Dead or Alive fighting game series.

    I'm not a fighting game guy, so I have no opinions about Dead or Alive versus, say, Street Fighter. But fighting game characters do at least often have interesting character designs.

    This outfit (from DoA 6) has entirely too many studs. What idiot decided to draw this specific outfit for Tina?!

    (Me. I'm the idiot.)

  3. I will say, though, I’m three days into my week off (including the weekend) and if this is what retirement is like, I’m almost glad I’ll never be able to afford it.

  4. Time for another slice of life from the Loving series with “Too Close to Ignore” by M.A. Innes. #GayRomance #MMRomance #GayBookReviews

    The guys are taking a short vacation together, just the four of them. It should give them some time to relax and maybe work out the shifting boundaries of their relationship. It seems that at least some of them need more than they’re getting from their “secondary partners” but they don’t want to push for more than the other is willing to give. First, though, they have to survive whatever craziness Kevin instigates.

  5. We’re heading to Zion National Park this week! ⛰️

    I’m opening the gallery with Majestic Mountain Landscape at Sunset, a digital artwork inspired by Zion’s towering cliffs and the warm colors of the evening sky.

    There’s something special about landscapes that make you stop, look up, and appreciate the world around you.

  6. Mark Madden still thinks the Steelers play ‘Tomlin-y’ games: “I like McCarthy. I’m a supporter. I’m a believer. But they go out there and play ‘Tomlin-y’ games all the time. This was a Tomlin-y game. It’s a 16-10 win over a marginal team when a marginal quarterback (Tyler Shough) threw for 278 yards against you. Yeah, the Saints didn’t try to run the ball, and I do like the Steelers’ running game. But again, it all just comes back to being Tomlin-y. I don’t think their defense is good enough for them to win games against good teams.” #Steelers #NFL

  7. Company I know is doing like 100% conservation with with GeoAI. I'm not sure how you balance those two out currently.

  8. Been working on converting some piano chord PDFs to plain text, and I'm a little proud of my attempts at #AsciiArt (actually #UnicodeArt ;)

  10. As a small vigil for @dmcgk who passed and whose funeral is now, I’m sharing a toots of his.

    It could have been of his #Miniatures, which is how I met him here. They had me in awe seeing his talent - but what he did that lifted my mood the second I’d see his handle, was kind, softly tooted, sometimes self deprecating silliness. Strange to mourn someone I’d not met in person, but not surprising. His decency shone and made things brighter. I will miss you pal, rest well. 💚

  11. OpenJDK has released yet another set of patch revisions to fix this issue. I'm working on updating the ports now.

    In parallel there's work ongoing to make it easier to make the OpenJDK rely on the certificates supplied by the FreeBSD base install instead of packing it's own. We should probably consider making this the default going forward.

  13. #WritersCoffeeClub 26/10: How did you develop your voice?
    I’m wary of the way the question is framed. The word ‘develop’ seems to imply that there’s a nice tidy technique or formula for this. There isn’t.
    I’d prefer to say that I *found* my voice, and the key elements in doing this are: lots of reading; lots of writing; listening to your characters—and absolutely no recourse to AI.

  16. Today I learnt that you can use a physical keyboard with iPhones. I’m very happy about this and will be using it for everything possible.

  17. I got my hearing aid last week. Now I'm adjusting to life with a hearing aid. The audiologist did not explain the entire process to me. I did not understand that there is a process from getting it to getting it adjusted. She didn't even spend much time on his to wear it. I guess it is a live and learn deal.

  18. It's Drawtober the 26th and the prompt is Cauldron. I'm going a bit lateral here, because it's Kambarang, heading to second Spring, and not Autumnal at all, and my prompt list is Autumn themed.

    When I was in primary school, in the late 70's it was decided by the powers that be that some campfire activities would happen. So we made damper, and Mum gave me a small piece of steak to wrap in foil and a potato to likewise wrap in foil and bake in the school fire coals.

    It was great! I decided to make a billy for myself at home. So I got a baked bean can and asked Mum if I could have a wire coathanger, and spent an industrious afternoon getting the wire to the right length and boring holes in the billy to put the wire through.

    I felt very accomplished at the end of it and my mum, grandmother and sister were all a bit startled that it turned out so well I think.

    As a child, being able to make a practical object, that could be used over time, felt great. I hope all children experience what I did then.

    Anyrate, in the old times, in Nyoongar country, this is the time to be moving toward the sea. The billycan was taken up with enthusiasm by swagmen and Nyoongar travellers alike, and billy tea was famous across Australia wide.

    How to make billy tea. Get the fire going, unless it's fire ban time. Fill your billycan with water and put it over the fire. Onces it's boiling, cheer and put in enough loose black tea and a gumleaf (eucalyptus leaf) or two depending on how big your billy is. Don't mistake poisonous leaves for gum leaves, leave it out if you can't tell a gum tree from a 1080 bush.

    Let it boil a couple of minutes and then take it off the fire. You can swing it around vertically ostensibly to settle the leaves and disperse the flavour if you like but you don't have to risk covering yourself and others in boiling tea if you don't want to.

    Add milk if you want/have it, add sugar if you want/have it and enjoy.

    I enjoyed the memories, and the colours drawing this. Ink and wash, dip and Diamine all the way. Kakimori steel nib and the glass dip. Inks are br Pick Me Up, Upon A Star, Salted Caramel, Spiced Apple, Fruit Cocktail, Sugar Snap, Wishing Tree, Fortune's Gold, and Lemon & Lime.
