After I added some older #Mermay works on DeviantArt, I mentioned one #mermaid was based on my sister. So I had short conversation in comments and other user asked me, if I plan to draw myself or my sister as a mermaid. I thought it could be a good idea and started #drawing.
Initially I planned more stereotypical scene, treasures from a shipwreck etc. Later I thought ships nowadays would drop more modern artifacts, like electronics. So what about made this picture also a symbol of my current complicated relationship with modern tech, as an IT person with some knowledge but also kind of Luddite who actively avoid mainstream devices and services?
When I sometimes read or hear about newest drama in corporate software world, my most often first reaction is similar to this picture :blobcat_uwucry:
Mixture of surprise, shock and disgust...
@Quinnypig I hereby, as the #krita maintainer give everyone officially the right to verb "krita" and say "the image was krittered."
Or "kritaed" or whatever you may make of it: krita is a trademark, and you can play with it to your heart's content. (Except for selling counterfied spyware laden versions in app stores or on ebay.)
I was happy to once again collaborate with Pidilite (An Indian multinational company specializing in adhesive and related products) to transform their Rangeela Mascot from 2D to 3D. This version of the mascot was for the moulding dough product. The mascot will be used in packaging and marketing material. This was a fun and refreshing project. Creating the clay dough effect was an amazing experience.
I can't get over how insufferable Windows 11 is for creating things. Win11 stops taking pen input--not freeze. Pen input just stops, and this is with an official Microsoft pen. Drawing art in Krita is a game of red-light-green-light.
Darkradiant doesn't update the 3D window. No lighting preview. :/
#Mermay - demonic edition.
Because if hell is underground, it should be under oceans. And its gates would be in deepest place, guarded by creatures like this :blobCat_devil:
Sitting #kingfisher - based on my mother's photos. I rather exactly "copied" its pose.
For some reason pattern on its head and wings looks like the sky for me. Not sure if it was so visible on original photos.
Hello ! J'espère que vous allez bien !
Cette semaine je suis malade comme un chien mais hier j'ai réussi à bidouiller des petits trucs !
J'ai commencer une créa pour le #WAT (même si je suis pas inscrit) et j'ai fait une version détaillée de mon avatar :miffy:
you know what'd be a cool feature for an image editor?
"export last action as code"
where it looks at the last thing in the undo/redo buffer, and saves it out as a program (in C/C++/whateverscripting) that uses an ImageEditorLibrary to do the same thing
@foone For some reason, I thought the GNU image manipulator could already do this. Maybe it was just the UI focus on playing scripts last time I used it. (I use #Krita for what little image editing I do for a while now.)
Just cleared out my folder of in-progress files as they had all languished there for too long and obviously weren't meant to be. I'm left with a photo of a lemur that I thought looked boopable and NOTHING else 😮
@eclectech There's a fair bit of open source animation software, and some of cross platform, like #blender which is used by professionals.
Also #Krita, I think is cross platform.
Another "like a tribal tattoo" #drawing... #lizard this time. Planned to draw it more like these clay figurines decorated with coloured glass shards available in souvenir shops :blobcatjoy:
Dear fediverse, what is an adequate freeware (even better, if #openSource) replacement for #Adobe#Photoshop for #Windows? Current needs: take a painting made by hand, make it a vector graphics image and do some other stuff with it. Sorry for being so vague, I'm totally blind, it's for my wife who is not on fediverse (yet). Thank you so much! #Help
#PhantastikPrompts 04.05.24 Beschreibe deine liebste Nebenfigur. Warum ist es deine liebste?
In meinem aktuellen Projekt "Die Krieger von Onsgart" ist es eindeutig der Luperkus Major Pattos. Mal freundlich, mal bärbeißig, undurchsichtig und subtil gefährlich. Mit dem gleichen Lächeln kann er einen Krieger belobigen oder in den Tod schicken. Mit einem Netz aus Spionen spinnt er seine Fäden im Hintergrund und meine Protagonisten wissen nicht, ob er ihr Freund oder Feind ist.

#Drawing of Hexia, whose hat got stuck to a tree. Her hands are caught in something growing from the tip of her witchy hat (so I avoid drawing hands 😂 ). She even has her feet propped up against the tree in an attempt to get her hands and her hat free.
