Re: Practice drawing big cats

That’s pretty cool! The North American cougar, huh? It’s good that you’re challenging yourself to draw things outside your comfort zone, you’ll learn quicker from those mistakes than from any other. When you think of a big cat’s head, what helps me is thinking about how the muscles spread out from ...

Re: Practice drawing big cats

Oh! Is that a snow leopard? I love how shaggy it is. Random (wild?) cat generator is a great idea for drawing prompts.

Somewhat related, this humourous video on your life as a snow leopard might interest you.

Re: The Success Disaster of the Cookie

I think this is relevant...

I find it funny that the video gives an example of “10 websites sharing cookies”, but. It’s really multiple orders of magnitude greater than that. Not a criticism of the video, and I think it’d be insane to ask you to model and animate 1,000 ...

Re: The internet has changed. How I've disconnected and my concerns.

Hey, thanks for sharing such a thoughtful response. I hadn’t heard of the “Dead Internet Theory” before, so I just watched a Kyle Hill video on it. Like you, I’ve been exposed to software, and later the Internet, at an early age. When I was 4 my dad got one of those eMachines, and I used the ...

Nice and funny things that happened to you today

Did something cool, neat, nice, or funny happen to you today (or yesterday)? Thought I’d make a thread where we share!

I work in a law firm, and I’m in our secure (locked) mailroom, just getting our mail ready to be sent out… One of our firm’s leading attorneys, a very old, loud man, who has no ...

Re: Strange Parts - How I Made an Android Phone

Yeah, for real, right? 🔥 This is why I call modern smartphones depression rectangles. They literally look like that. A lot of popular phones got third-party mods, not just one brand or model: all sorts of Motorolas, Nokias, Blackberrys. You could add lights to you antennae and have them flash ...

Re: When privacy clashes with user experience

Oh, this is going to train users to be less mindful of their settings and what they tap on—not only within their own Mac, but elsewhere . Let me give you an example: my fiancée is a manager in a grocery store. Every now and then, at the self check-out aisle, something happens (e.g. problematic item ...

Re: Strange Parts - How I Made an Android Phone

CitricScion Ahh, thank you very much for the compliment. Yeah, being able to source, replace, and repair parts either by yourself or by one’s trust third-party is ideal. It’s one of the reasons that I personally don’t recommend Aventon e-bikes to people looking into getting an e-bike, for example ...

Re: The Success Disaster of the Cookie

Yeah!! Just nine hours and already 144 comments on it? That’s amazing, man. Keep up the good work!

And timestamps are hard but very important, haha. I used to subtitle/closed caption Japanese media with English captions, so. SRT files. Man.

What projects are you working on right now?

Thread to discuss whatever it is that’s keeping us busy now! Art, home renovation, decluttering, etc…

Right now, I’m working on my modern personal website for my art. Chiefly, it’s going to be my art gallery, but I’m also going to include a blog, essays, links to my other projects, and a ...
