Okay so
I tested my methods by refining a bluebiscuits-style rough head sketch. It's decent for something I threw together quickly, besides the wonky anatomy and hair
But I lost some of the character of the original? Is this just how it is?

The past few days I've been practicing drawing heads from any angle quickly, based on a bluebiscuits tutorial.
Today, I pushed the method a bit and had some fun with it.

Help?
I've seen other (much better) anime artists use the fill tool pretty effectively. But whenever I use it, I spend a lot of time manually filling in space.
What am I doing wrong?

More quick head studies
This method (from bluebiscuits) feels really good and intuitive, but I'm not sure how it connects to my existing workflow...
Tomorrow I might try drawing just one head to test it out.

I've been feeling more confident with anime faces and color, so I tried to redraw the head+hair of an older work. Did I improve?

Learning #digitalart, and it's surprising how much rendering feels like only manual work.
I like learning about the physics of light and how to apply that in painting, and I like the meditative aspect of sitting down and working on it...but I just don't have the time!

#gamedev designing today, and I'm stumped.
Many games have a suite of features like waypoints, healing stations, farming spots, "home base". I feel like they're one layer above "press A to interact", but still one step closer to code than lore.
What are these...called? Like, game loop systems?

#gamedev is my first experience with software development beyond...for loops. Not even academics really use dev patterns in their code. Well, not the ones I work with, afaik.
It's way more interesting to learn about stuff like design by contract when it's actively resolving my confusion.

#gamedev roundup
I updated my instanced battles to refer to the input system.
I also added debug flags in the overworld controller so I can turn on/off the viz for the interact cursor. And I added helper functions to ensure the overworld controller handles initiating a battle.

Working a little bit on #gamedev today
Actually, I wrote some music for almost 2 hours earlier, and I sat down to code a bit this evening, even though I'm tired from the work week.
I don't know why I don't give myself credit for putting the reps in.

Idk if this is how it goes, but I feel like half the battle of input design in #gamedev is just picking a standard.
Normally I'd overthink it, but…maybe I’ll just peek at my favorite game and copy what they did. 👀

No cheating, post the last pic of your pet.
I took Panini out of her tank to see if she wanted to see stairs. She snuggled into a corner and gave me a look, which I deserved. #beardeddragon

I lay down exhausted at the day's end, yet only now do I seem to need to think. I think through every stone I was sure had already settled.
Must I solve my thoughts to find peace? Perhaps I must let go of emotional investment, so restless thoughts may be food for boundless dreams.

I somehow ended up with friends who (A) don't notice or care when I talk about The Amazing Digital Circus, and (B) have no response when I start talking about the social movements of fandoms.
I need to remedy this.

I know that generative AI has bad, fundamental issues. But I also use it to talk through personal problems and I'm sure others do too.
I feel like there has to be some way for us to talk about people's unmet needs, without blaming them for using the cheapest and most immediate option provided.
