I'm a programmer that thinks he's an artist.

I mostly do digital art and traditional art. I'll also occasionally do generative art (from programs that I write), but never AI "art"

I'm still learning.
I made a worm for a shading assignment.

Sketched a bit on my commute. Fun, but a bit frustrating with the train's swaying.

Working on something silly. Not an assignment. Just for fun.

Done! I finished my colour figure digital painting assignment. It actually took two tries. My first version (which I have also included here) was so disappointing that I almost gave up. Instead, I tried again, adding my own lighting.

I'm glad I did.

I am 100% in favour of this policy.

This is a Buddhabrot ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhab... ) which I generated with a Java program I wrote way back in March 2022. The red channel is 10000 iterations, the green channel is 1000 iterations and the blue channel is 100 iterations.

Next assignment! This time my reference is Rowena from Adorkastock. I'll be trying to digitally paint her in colour. I started with a gesture drawing on paper, which I photographed and used as a guide. It's going well so far.

My digital version of Urbosa is finally done! I'm sure that I could refine it more, but I'm good with this. It's just for an assignment on adjustment layers anyway.

Drawn with Krita 5.9.2 and an XP-Pen tablet.

Trying something traditional. This is H2 pencil and I'll be shading with charcoal for the first time.

Here are two more assignments from the same course. The first one is about general use of layers and the second one is about the use of layers to change the other drawing.

Both were pretty tough.

Digital shading assignment! The face is a little weird, but I'm happy with the overall result. Of course, it could be better, but that's why I'm studying.

Hand practice doesn't always go well. I'll be trying again soon.

Still practicing hands. I seem to be stretching this vertically for some reason. I'll have to keep aware of this tendency.

So, this is what I did with my lunch break today (instead of eating lunch, that is)

It's very clear that I still have an irresistible drive to make things.

Almost entirely made from 100 yen tools and items.

The animation pack I'm using doesn't have a forward flip, so I improvised.
Nailed it.

My first attempt at converting my Unreal animation assets for use in Unity, beside my most recent attempt. I think there's been some improvement.

Models by Polytope Studios. Animations by Bugrimov Maxim.

Woohoo! I got all of my "rigged for Epic Skeleton" animations working in Unity! It only took several hours to figure out...

An incredibly small amount of progress on this drawing, but progress is progress.

Starting a new drawing. I'm not sure if I'm going to go digital or stay traditional with it.

I just realized that I forgot to do a quick 4-5 shading study for it, which was a large part of the point. Oops.

The Owl TV theme still holds up after all these years.

I found my StarCraft: Brood War installation on a new hard drive. A quick installation, a bunch of downloading, more installation and it's all set up on my new computer!

I should really start playing StarCraft 2 well.

I have tried to draw every day this week and have been thwarted by kids, chores and sleepiness.

I'm going to try again tonight, but I don't have much hope.

So, some blackpilled idiot on YouTube is arguing with me about dating as a short guy. Me, the 159cm married man. Strange how he seems to know more about it than I do.

I really wish that someone had told me about Genuary earlier. It looks like a lot of fun!
