Personally get really annoyed at ai summaries of pdf’s. It’s automatically in my face when i don’t need it and just in the way. Also quite useless when your in need of thoroughly reading important documents or contracts.

I’m reminded of a video of photoshop ai and someone trying to get it to remove a piece of hair. All options where a replacement with a bird head.

Garbage, but definitely hilarious that’s the conclusion the AI chose as its solution.

A simple one, but a mini I finished in one sitting.
The plank effects took more then i anticipated, but i think the end result gives a nice wooden crate look.

Very hyped to see it during our dnd sessions πŸ˜„.

*More mini painting will be shared in the future, as I have some big minis to work on.

Time to share some painted mini’s.

I finished painting my 1st mini, a tabaxi, in March. Honestly happy and a little surprised with how good it ended up looking.

Credits to bitethebullet for the model and @smosbois.bsky.social for 3D printing it for me.

I think a big game hanger is cooking it with a bouillon cube.
Other then that we tend to mix it with grilled vegetables (red bellpeppers, onions, courgettes with salt, pepper, olive oil and herbs d’provence).

Add a cheese schnitzel and i’m sold πŸ˜„.

Ooh this seems pretty cool, i should also look into making these kind of spline functions, they are so useful for environments :)

Didn’t realise it was a dead stranding 2 post (i’m not up to date on this game in particular), but Stray and Journey were definitely games that did this for me. And possibly the witcher 3 as well.

The jam and cream cookie had several iterations of which the 3rd ended up being the most popular one.

Some pictures of the last sweets/cookie props I made for @startastestudios.bsky.social
All of these were textured using 1 handpainted texture. πŸ˜„

Hoping to make more in the near future. Anyone have suggestions for sweets or cookies I should make?

Recently finished texturing and modeling a cookingstation for @startastestudios.bsky.social
Happy with the result, as it’s only the 2nd hand-painted pixel texture i’ve ever done :)

Props to David Jak for making the base model and animation that I expanded on.

Went bouldering, watched some comedy (Gamechanger) and a poetry prompt came by which inspired me to try and write a haiku.

β€œLight as a feather, reach the victorious top, hanging on to life.”

Finished a little birthday drawing for my mom 😊

For those curious, this is a β€œRufous-crested Coquette” (Lophornis delattrei), a beautiful striking male humminbird.
They are found in parts of Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, Panama and Costa Rica.

It's been a while since I've done this, and the world is bleak - so we can all use a little art & creativity.

What is everyone creating nowadays? Games, art, music, video, writing, anything - whether it is early, almost done, or just shipped. Feel free to include trailers, images, links - whatever.

Bit all over the place. I’m helping a bit on a student game by @startastestudios.bsky.social
Made my first ever handpainted pixel art texture with that.

Finished painting a mini (and working on another one).
And some ocassional sketches and crafts.

Looking for a job meanwhile.

honestly the fact that i can easily find posts i find interesting or actually am shown posts from people i follow on my home feed makes me happy.
Twitter keeps feeling both over and underwhelming in some bad ways nowadays.
Glad to see the broader move happening :)
