Thursday Art Walk... ON FRIDAY!

 

In Which I've Done An Art (Hopefully Correctly)

Thursday was... a lot. The cat tried to be sus and get into the vent (I don't play that Among Us game, I just know that lingo because Twitter exists lol), the microwave's turntable is breaking down, and we got some bad news from a family member today. All of this is on top of my concentration being completely gone and my plans for Thursday all scattered like so many small birds...

It was, in short, not a great day to be trying over with the Block Art.

But I still did it!

"Squares 2.0"; digital art; 2022

YES! IT IS CRISP! IT IS SQUARE! IT IS HIP!

To me, this almost looks like some sort of blurred out photograph, maybe of someone dancing in a park! I really should try to refine a palette next time, but going for full random on Coolors.co was fun, so I'll look through their pre-generated palettes for inspiration. And it does set up a few more options for art in the future!

Pixel Art, here I come!

So yes, this went up on Friday instead of Thursday, and not for particularly great reasons. I really want to find out if I can add brush packs to Paint.net, too, because only having round brushes is the butts. Gimme some squares, guys. Or at least make it easier for me to figure out how to make squares without having to overuse Copy/Paste. My poor Ctrl, C, and V buttons are getting finnicky.

So yes, we have our first 100% success on Paint.net!

I'm gonna go to bed, because it's past 2AM and I am pooped.

Go Enjoy Something!

Update: I fell asleep for like an hour before I added the link and now I'm posting this at half past 3 lol!

Talk About Tuesday 437

In Which I Am No Longer Sick

Well... that's a bit of a mistruth - I still have a slight sniffle, but I'm no longer flush-faced and miserable, so that counts as a win in my book!

It's another gross, gray day here in the Blanket Fort. It's around 35℉ (~1.5℃) and vaguely wet outside - it can't decide whether it's just cloudy or raining or... snowing.

Yeah. It's trying to be winter. Already.

Anyway, here are my plans for the week:

• Tomorrow I'll talk about wrestling!
• Thursday will be a glorious day of doodles
• Friday I'll talk about Dolemite and how it differs from Dolemite Is My Name
• Saturday I'll talk about a cute mobile game I'm playing
• Sunday I'll talk about some kind of tasty food
• Monday I'll talk about what I'm making and how I learned to crochet
• Next Tuesday I'll blather about life, the weather, etc

So, that's been my week - a day with a crummy cold followed by a day with, at worst, a slightly runny nose and itchy eyelids. I actually crocheted quite a bit yesterday, but I was in no mood to show it off.

Also the cat accidentally released a poop on the stovetop when no one was looking (poor thing), so that was gross. Don't worry, I cleaned and sanitized.

I'm kinda bummed that I missed out on Parasite and hanging out with my partner and friends yesterday.

That's life, though. I would've felt awful if I'd made them sick!

Yeah, that'll do it for me today!

Go Enjoy Something!

Talk About Tuesday 244

In Which It's Technically Wednesday Oops

So I'm late.

Sorry about that, guys. I've been dogsitting again, so I haven't been in the blanket fort to properly blog!

Today was a wet and dreary day, but since I was tenting over at my partner's Couch Castle, we managed to make it a lovely day. We watched several streams of old Monstervision episodes (both the Penn and Teller version and Joe-Bob Briggs), we chatted about wrestling (including the... interesting stuff going on with Jason Myles aka ACH), we chatted about books (including the ones we'd like to write), and we ate too many donuts.

The dogs, meanwhile, were a bit barky and did not want to dampen their paws by going outside, but I eventually managed to bribe them into compliance, which, to be honest, was the hardest part of my day.

I do wish I hadn't had my weird "my head, hands, and feet are suddenly very hot while the rest of me is very cold" thing happen today. Same with the tension headache. I feel much better after a base-of-the-skull massage and a nice hot shower.

I got home a couple of hours ago, but I'm only now getting upstairs to type this up, hastily scrawling while my recently rediscovered Kindle and my constantly-used phone both recharge. I should also recharge my mp3 player when I find the cord...

This Halloween, I'm going to be wearing bats. I think I'm going to be something of a witch, but I'm not sure. Maybe I'm going to just be myself, but spoopy. If push comes to shove, however, I can always grab my Jack-o-lantern shirt and don my recently finished Pumpkin Spice Set and be The Great Pumpkin lol!

Here's the tentative schedule for the rest of the week:

• Tomorrow I'll tell you all about wrestling, complete with my finished notes on last week's episode of Dynamite!
• Thursday I'll be finishing Inktober and hopefully the Bubble Art
• I have frustrating news about the Bubble Art, btw, but I'll get to that on Thursday :|
• Friday will be my take on one of the following:
• Inception
• Monstervision as a whole
• Crystal Lake Memories, a Documentary about the Friday the 13th movies
• Something else?
• Saturday will be about one of the games I'm playing - possibly Dwarf Miner or my embarrassing approach to Final Fantasy Adventure...
• Sunday should involve noms, but I can't say what kind :P
• Next Monday I'll start a new project! Maybe something else fall-related? Maybe a turkey or something like that?
• Next Tuesday, hopefully, the blog will be up before 1AM :|

That's all I've got for now.

I'm very sleepy.

That shower helped a ton.

Go Enjoy Something!
