I'm Tawny (she/they), a goofball catgirl going back in time to teach her past self useful math, programming, music, and other shenanigans. Streaming on twitch.tv/tawnycodecat ! Profile pic by @patooie.bsky.social, character design by @radpax.bsky.social
Thanks to @lunamikin.bsky.social for this coloured sketch! I sent a really goofy pose ref for fun, and she nailed it 😸 She's in urgent need of money for rent, food, and a new computer screen, so she's doing these for only $25, and offers other types of comms, too! 💜 bsky.app/profile/luna...

I won a crochet narwhal giveaway from @dragonsprophecy.bsky.social recently, and I was excited about a dragon plush she was making, so I ordered one of those, too. They arrived today, and they're so flippin' cute! My photographs don't do them justice. #art #crochet #plush #dragon #narwhal #lgbtq

I wanted to try doing my first drawing stream today, but I've been kinda off all day, so I'll hope I feel more up to it tomorrow 💜 I wanted to lean into painting style a bit and try a landscape with deep perspective. I'll come back to lineart another time 😸

I've had a rocky relationship with art. As a kid, I was so ashamed of how bad I was at art that I cried in the middle of a high school class when we were asked to draw something. It took until my 20s to find some type of visual art I could face. Now in my 30s, here's my first drawing with a tablet.

Now I *can* give a big hug to anyone who needs one, at least virtually on Twitch, thanks to @oyasumiyuni.bsky.social! 🥹 I commissioned them for 2 new emotes and they're so flippin' cute! Yuni's comms are open at ko-fi.com/oyasumiyuni/... 😺

Happy Tau Day to all who celebrate! What better day to mark a full turn around the Sun than the day for a number that represents a full turn around a circle? 💜 🖥️😺 #TauDay

I know that touching grass is all the rage, but have y'all tried touching moss. Moss is where it's at. Look at how soft and pettable this moss is!

A bit more detail: I rendered each frame like this with a filename like ScreenTransition_comp.0060.png, then ran "ffmpeg.exe -f image2 -framerate 60 -i render/ScreenTransition_comp.%%04d.png -c:v libvpx-vp9 ScreenTransition.webm" (one % on Linux?) to convert to webm (VP9) with transparency.

Thanks so much to @glottal.bsky.social for showing on stream how to use the Track Matte option to make fancy scene transitions work in OBS! I first made this animation in Jan 2024, but had no idea how to make it work, since some frames have both scenes visible, so I didn't even clean it up.

The fridge was *struggling* yesterday, so after ignoring it for the 3 years we've been here, we finally moved the fridge to look behind it, and as we feared, it's like 4 contractors had a fistfight and everybody lost. The more you look at it, the worse it is.

I keep forgetting to upload this somewhere I can link to it, but here's a re-upload of my sona's pngtuber ref by @patooie.bsky.social ! My pride flags are trans and lesbian 💜

Artwomble did a phenomenal job with this dance #emote commission! My sona's got a lot of bits that flop when jamming so hard, so it must've been tough, but he made it work, and it's still readable at 28x28 pixels for #Twitch. Still pending approval, but I'm excited to use it soon! 🖥️😺

I have anxiety about buying things, so I procrastinate on it for ages, but with things about to get expensive, I panic-bought a #3Dio microphone. It'll take practice before I feel comfortable to stream #ASMR, but I'm working on background music that'll hopefully be meditative, but not repetitive.

I've had such good luck with art raffles lately 🍀 @perihn.bsky.social made this super flippin' CUTE art of my stream mascot character, Heidi Heisenbug, as an art raffle prize on her stream at twitch.tv/perihn She put so many cool little details into this! 💜

Patooie also made this cute chibi of @lunazera.bsky.social for a previous giveaway on her Twitch stream. She does giveaways fairly often, but you've gotta be there when they happen, so be sure to check her out on Twitch!

I was having a bad anxiety day yesterday, but then I won this adorable chibi art of my character being so happy in @patooie.bsky.social's Twitch stream giveaway, and it really made my day 🥹💜 Patooie's a great artist who also made my PNGtuber art! #chibi #art #twitch twitch.tv/patooiee

We live in a time when people in power are trying to erase marginalized groups from public view. I'm a trans woman, but many other groups are at risk. In our online and in-person communities, we must all support each other and fight to ensure that we won't be deleted! #wewontbedeleted #trans #lgbtq

To celebrate my 1 year HRT anniversary, tonight on Twitch at 9:30pm ET, 6:30pm PT, I'll be playing an awesome DOS platformer where you play as a magic woman who can transform into a wolf: "Inner Worlds"! www.twitch.tv/tawnycodecat 🖥️😺 #dosgame #pngtuber #transfem

Here's the final sub alert animation and kalimba audio! The follow alert animation was hard to see against light backgrounds, so I added a circular shadow to them both, for better visibility, but transparent enough to avoid making it too stark 🖥️😺 #math #animation #pngtuber #twitch #kalimba

I found and fixed the math mistake I made in my last Twitch stream, making a sub alert animation. (I drew a diagram wrong on stream, so the angle phi was wrong, hehe.) I know it's low-tech, but paper and mechanical pencil are still my comfy way to plan things out. #math #animation #trigonometry
