Still wrapping up on SocMed detox.

I feel like a big part of SocMed for me and a lot of other people is announcing what we're up to in earshot of our m8s so that they may clap… dhaflksjdhf

I made a little activity-box on my site for that itch to announce.
hikatamika.com/status/
It's my website! There's one of those old-school deviantArt or liveJournal or whatnot "currently" boxes. This one gives info that suggests that not only am I SocMed detoxing, but that the brainworms are making me code better, but eat worse.

I think I got that "Reluctant Subject of a Photograph"-energy in the expression properly.

My angel OC, Hevel, allows his picture to be taken. Though, with blush painting his face, he looks quite shy about it.

Some hopefully illustrative code screenshots of what's going on in my code.

You were kind enough to share with me when I was starting out w/ 11ty, so let me know if me DMing source code for you to poke around in would be of any help.
In 11ty, me giving a blog post a "blogTags" property so that "tags" is reserved for content type, allowing for easier multi-RSS later The start of an 11ty RSS plugin template for a feed for JUST blog posts. Because "tags" on blog posts is just used for content types site-wide, I can make a blog-exclusive RSS feed using an 11ty collection based RSS feed with the 11ty plugin

Would you reckon it's any good for quick, BS'ed perspective? I could find places for that in my workflow if so.

I'd be happy to tell you anything I know about 11ty. It just feeds individual posts like this (Markdown, HTML, etc.) into HTML/Nunjucks/Liquid templates that you write up!

"C'monnn… One night out. I'll be fun! I promise…"

That's how I like to imagine Dami asked Hevel out this time. 🙂‍↕️

A girly? Romantic? Composition reminiscent of shoujo manga chapter art. My OC Dami stands on the left, barely hiding a bouquet of flowers behind his back. There is a polaroid (labeled "Mi Cielito") of my other OC Hevel on the upper right, shyly looking away from the photographer.

Subjectively amateurish art of my UTAU character, Hikaru's, original design. She has piano-roll accents on her clothes. A winged angel with 2 sets of arms readies some rope and a pistol on a lightly-cloudy, moonlit, night. He looks tense.

I am NAWWWTTT doing it rn: repeat NAWWWTT doing it.
My important-but-not-urgent task pile is too high.

But getting the pagination working for my casual gallery for my 11ty personal site just as it worked in WordPress just… whenever I see pagination like this a webcomic light bulb activates.

Ooh~! This is Hika from the past. Present Hika is probably still in bed.

This month's SupportCast episode is up for Ko-Fi members and recent supporters! In it I go over… wrist RSIs… and the project/art improvement stuff I've been up to.

Sorry for not many BSky art posts! ko-fi.com/Post/Support...

I'm kinda like, Blender Lineart will always look KINDA "Computer™", but if I find myself having to render a lot of buildings I don't wanna draw, could I make it look less "Computer™"?

And like, *a little*.

Recently got two books from one of my fave inkers: Rem/Tsulala—with the hope that I may absorb their penmanship into my brain.

Oh yeah and a sticker of their OC Pandora. #HKsnaps #ArtShopLoot

Having a YAYYYY—NOOOO moment because I was able to capture like, form and a little bit of value with my line-weight and ink puddles here, but when I ink characters, I get stuck in this kind of like,

"the contour must be perfect" brainspace that makes me forget line weight and spot blacks. #WIP

Ok. I make 3D props.
