Watched the very last episode of #TronUprising, which ended on a cliffhanger. Annoyingly it wasn’t renewed for a 2nd season. The visual design is fantastic and Boxleitner’s voice still gives me chills. I am glad he had plenty of story unlike in Legacy (3 lines!!!) and Ares (not even a mention!!🖕🏼).

When there is a fire drill in your apartment (yesterday morning), you’re having to run down 25 flights of wonky/ unevenly built stairs, and the next day (today) you’re legs are on FIRE!!! 🔥 Like, not just sore muscles but sitting down/ getting up is fracking torture.

So, a family member asked me if I could do this effect with a photo of her. My response: “Sure, if you have a high res portrait image and 30 Euros spare.” Well, guess what their answer was: “I have a portrait photo but not 30 Euros”
Why does everyone think I am doing this shit for free??? 😂😂😂🖕🏼

Tried to recreate a glass distortion effect I saw in a Photoshop short tutorial but in #AffinityStudio. It’s not quite the same but I kinda like.

Front portrait of a woman (I assume) with their hair styled back . Image is black and white but with half of the person in turquoise hue alternating between right and left hand sides. Face RHS, lips/neck/ torso LHS in turquoise. I created a gradient black and white pattern/ texture distorted with liquify filter. And set various blend modes along with displacement filters. Text reads “Ripple Effects”

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

Nobody. They’re too busy with politics, drama, and pushing their egos far up their arses 🙄

#TRON 1982 seemingly foreshadowing the future (now present). This is pretty much happening now with copilot and chatgpt. 😕

Square abstract image with grain/ noise texture overlay: - text reads “TURBULENT” - behind text a red rounded rectangle in portrait aspect. Behind it outlines of the same rectangle stacked behind to make it look 3D. The outlines are also visible inside the red tectangle making it look like a tunnel. - behind the rectangle are meshed wire abstract objects and two sphere objects (bottom-left and upper-right corners) connect with a line. All in bright turquoise and off white hues and values. - background is a warm blue gradient and a dark blue frame. - Tansterdesgnz logo in bottom right corner.

Lately I find myself playing with the new #affinitystudio app, and this is some #lettering #graphicdesign I came up with. Hope CRT will be added to glitch gallery.

#retrodesign ##CRTgtaphics #glitchdesign #retroart #1980sdesign #designsky
Retro Logo or Ad Design in landscape orientation. - Text reads “CRT In Motion” - Colours are Neon Magentas, Oranges, Yellos, And some purple and blue mixed in as gradients in the In Motion putlines. - CRT letters a in perspective and chunky to make them look 3D and as if lying flat but levitating from the dark surface. Floating underneath are the letter outlines stacked on top of each other. - Effects applied are offset RGB aberrations, gaussian blurs, different blend modes like Add, an HSL filter where I shifted the hues a little, and a CRT image I found on Pinterest was used and set to overlay with a slight blue applied and opacity reduced to 50 percent. - I then merged all visible components to a duplicated single-layer image, set it to screen blend mode, added another gaussian blurs and reduced opacity. This increased to glow effect and vibrancy of neon colours.

I also spent the afternoon with #graphicdesign #surrealism style. Getting familiar with the new version (v3) of #affinitystudio which is free (for now).

Finally found some time and motivation to continue on my #TRON #conceptart piece. The Christmas 🎄 polygon is in an assembly state. Challenge is actually painting Tron’s beautiful face and his neon circuitry.

RIP Rebecca Heineman. I learned of her journey through an interesting documentary about the history of computer games and game development. I forgot the title of the series, which was on Netflix I think.

Meanwhile during the time OpenAI tries to appeal and continues to steal creative’s work, musicians should now have a tool that (I believe) the same academics that developed Glaze and Nightshade are releasing to turn your music into gobbledygook for AI models. Sabotage the fuck out of them! 🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼

Progress on environment painting. Working on the abstract polygonic Christmas tree. I struggled somewhat with this but perseverance is key. I am also starting to make blobby brush strokes to ween my brain off flat #scifi #conceptart style.

Close-up detail of cracked blue paintwork on the front of a road sign in Thailand. The cracks are silvery with a hint of dark rusting and two rivets combine with a curved crack to resemble a face.

Anyhoo, back to art posting. I parked my Dia de los Muertos Skull island piece (I missed it anyways and have a full year to finish). Instead I am already thinking Christmas and my love for #Tron1982 - so hopefully I can turn this into something useful namely a #Tron themed Christmas painting. 1/2
Concept art work in progress: Tron themed environment in perspective looking up; a control tower that will have a neon/circuit/rings like Christmas tree. There will be circuit panels and a Programme with a disk in hero pose with one knee bent. Man, I love and miss the 80s. And when I was a kid I had a mighty crush on Tron. 🥰 I am still mad that with subsequent movies his story got diminished to in the end nothing, not even a mention. He’s the titular character yet Flynn Flynn Flynn. Come on! 😂 rant over.

Been absent lately, AuDHD & assoc. trauma processing rendered me antisocial. It feels even a chore to engage on a platform that has been so much better with kinder connections I have made. For that I’m sorry.

Okay, NOW it’s finished, I promise!! 😅 The previous one looked a little empty (only a few xmas decorations on left), so I added the 🎄 on the right back corner and hanging decorations over the bar! #art #artist #artshare #artyear #smArtist #illustration #coffee #Jakarta #Djournal
“Christmas Morning at Djournal Coffee” - moody scene: Mug of latte with sugar cane and gingerbread man on a table. The view is to the bar with stools at the front and the barista work space. An info chalkboard attached to storage cupboards installed in the ceiling. From the chalkboard a few xmas decorations are hanging off a line. Lightbulbs attached to ceiling. Shelving with books, knick-knacks and xmas decorations on the left. On the right a sideboard storage cupboards with lamp and vintage radio. Way back a bigger Xmas tree. The woman barista on the left is Aulia Putri, the silhouette dude further back is one of her (majority) male colleagues.

A very belated Happy #LoyKrathong to those who celebrated on 5th November. I forgot to post this here on the day.

A Thai floating flower offering with candle and incense sticks held up by a pair of hands. Above floating paper lanterns . The background is a small river stream with land on either side and another 5 of those flower offerings floating in the water. Dark mountains in the very back with magenta reflections from the dramatic sky gradients (magenta to blue to dark blue)
