  1. A quick doodle based on something @vicorva said during their Tiny Bookshop Twitch stream about 'AI' / LLMs trying to appropriate sparkles, and em-dashes and semicolons and the likes being seen as signs of genAI.

  6. Made a quick #bookmark out of some black paper and some pencils. It will live in the bedtime story #book I'm currently #reading for #BeardGrabber.
    (For those interested, it's an omnibus by #EnidBlyton called "The O'Clock Tales".)

  7. CW: budget art supplies recommendation

    If you have a #Rusta shop nearby, you might want to see if they also have the Playbox of Sweden "maleveske" on offer for 69.90 NOK. Clas Ohlson has the same set in their permanent assortment, rebranded, but at 129.90 NOK usually, so almost double the cost.

    While aimed at kids, I've personally found the oil pastels to be quite satisfying, and even the water colour paints where vibrant and a joy to play with. Of course I don't expect lightfastness and they don't list the pigments used, but so far my rainbow whirlpool painting is still brightening up one of our walls. :)

    Unfortunately I can't check how my oil pastels drawing of aurora borealis over Tromsø is doing, as I accidentally left it at the in-laws and haven't seen it since, and my peacock feather in oil pastels is too recent anyway.

    #BeardGrabber really enjoys using his box from time to time, so I picked up two more yesterday; one for me, and one to either restock his, or to use as a gift.

  10. Stepping out of my comfort zone a bit for today's drawing by using a medium I'm not really familiar with: alcohol markers.
    I recently picked up three Winsor & Newton Promarkers from the clearance bin at Staples, and wanted to give them a try.

    Since my palette is rather limited with just three colours, I wanted to draw an example that was also rather limited in colours. Having recently watched Many a True Nerd's playthrough of Metro 2033 Redux, I decided to pick a scene of the Dark Ones near the end of the game.

    I kind of like the results (though I think I prefer my monochrome version best?), and I might pick up some more colours if they still have them on sale, the next time I can pop in.

  14. Soul shade

    We got a set of #NassauFineArt #AquarelBrushMarkers from an offer at our local #Rusta the other day, so after some experimenting last night to get a bit more used to this weird medium that's not quite markers and not quite water colour paint, I ended making this quick sketch with them.

    I started off with the tree as I wanted to play around a bit with greens, and then decided I wanted to turn the pink spot in the top right corner that was leftover from last night's blending tests, into a pink and blue sky.
    Filled up the remaining whitespace with a yellow beach.

    Not quite sure if these #waterColourBrushMarkers are really for me, but I do like how the sky turned out.

    I can certainly see their appeal, especially on the go, as they require far less setting up. Basically just need a surface, a drawing pad, and some water to fill up your water brush reservoir.

  17. @Taweret @apLundell well, here's my attempt at a #kitty with Mastodon's #doodle tool. :)
    I think I'll stick to deviantART's muro instead. xD

    Tried following this video tutorial.

  23. #BeardGrabber had his drawing box out again, and after seeing @welshpixie excited over her oil pastels, I wanted to draw some with them again too.
    @Siiw recently mentioned that one of my unpublished muro drawings reminded her of #peacock #feathers, so I figured I'd try #painting one of those with kiddo's #oilPastels.

    Most of the lines could've perhaps been a bit thinner (though that's prob kinda impossible with these #crayons), but overall I'm quite satisfied with the outcome. :)

    Anyone got any tips or suggestions when working with this medium?

  24. @indiedee I've posted most of mine under the hashtags #FiXatoCreative, #FiXatoPaints and #FiXatoDraws :)

    I really ought to consolidate it all onto a page of my own... but that requires some headspace to work on, and to set aside my perfectionism. ;)

  25. Inspired by a quote from @ljwrites in a limited thread, I made this sketch of my character #Hatchie hugging their laptop, and getting a loving embrace back from it.

    I hope you enjoy a version with and without L.J.'s quote "It's janky and weird, but it's mine and I love it!"

  26. I kinda want to #paint this photo of #NorthernLights I took back in #2018, but it's too late at night for that right now. Maybe I'll feel inspired to do so tomorrow during the day instead. :)

  28. I just realised I never shared a bigger version of my #rainbow #whirlpool #drawing.

    So, here is it, my #waterColour #painting of #rainbows swirling around in a #maelstrom like fashion, lying in the sun on a grass field.

  29. #BeardGrabber and I had some fun earlier #painting together with his #waterColours.
    He was mostly spreading water and random colours onto the paper, and I tried to bring it all together into this colour #landscape #drawing. :)

  30. Bought a kid's #ColouringCase for #BeardGrabber, which contains a variety of pencils, water colouring paint, water colour pens, a marker pen, and an assortment of oil pastel #crayons.

    After seeing how they stood out on a black sheet of paper while trying them out with him on the train, I decided to take them out for a spin myself too.

    Ended up drawing an #AuroraBorealis scene using a photo from Aurora Borealis Tromsø as guideline.

    Quite satisfied with how it turned out, but I think I need to look up some tips for using #OilPastelCrayons. :)

    The black mountain outlines feel a bit too blurry; probably need to go over them a second time for a bit more crisp details.

  32. Another little #scenery created with #ZettDarkstone's #MSX #BASIC tool and tile-set.

    I've actually been modifying the tool a bit to suit my own needs, especially when it comes to keyboard controls, and you can now download it from the zett-darkstone-editor repository on my GitHub page.

    If you want to play around with it without installing an #MSX2 emulator, you can run zett-darkstone-editor from your web browser through WebMSX

    Controls are on the GitHub page.

  33. And while I was at it, I decided to #draw a tree by a lake with some happy clouds. ;)

    #BeardGrabber wanted to eat the red apples from the tree, so after he 'grabbed' a couple from the drawing, I filled his plate with some actual apple slices. ;)

  34. I have this series of #sketch #drawings of a sort of #mascot I drew several years ago inspired by the name of the website of an #IRC friend of mine, but which never really got used: photos.app.goo.gl/21j5iXxcv14G

    I still really like the idea of it, but never really fleshed it out to a point where I was completely satisfied with it.

    Recently I've had the urge to do something with it again; perhaps use it for some of my own projects, but it's very #music oriented, which I'm not as much.

    I guess I could use it for some of my music-related projects, like I did as a placeholder for fixato.org/music/recommendatio, but it'd still feel like I'm underutilising the little chick.

    Though I guess that how I drew him here, with the 'o' originally meant to resemble a harp, I guess it also kind of looks like a computer keyboard, albeit from a wrong perspective.

    Drawn in #Pixelmator.
