It's #PortfolioDay. I'm Allan, a sort-of-retired but can't give up drawing. So here are some recent pieces of work showing that I still draw old stuff after a career illustrating old stuff & occasionally doing what I did professionally.

#ArchitecturalIllistration
#drawing #pencil #watercolour

Pencil and watercolour sketch of a three storey house with black and white painted walls, a doorway with slightly projected porch at the head of a stairway and bow window to the principal floor.

Pen drawing of a metal tub on small wheels, from a former copper mine, used as a planter in front of a building with a six-panel door and sixteen-paned window. Metal baskets hold other plants and there is an old weighing machine at the corner of the pavement.

Cutaway drawing of a building used for unloaded railway wagons and transferring lime into horse drawn carts and wagons.

Pen sketch of a bookshop with bookshelves outside under an awning. Another shop next door has a large window filled with a lattice shop display.

A while ago, I found an interesting number pattern and designed a puzzle about it. Would you take a small break and have a go at it? 🍵🫖 Please tell me if you think you got the solution, or if you need a hint.

Text on the right:
The Tower of Ba5el.
Each stage of the tower is a different integer, written in an unknown language.
What is the tower's next stage?
Can the tower grow infinitely tall?
a puzzle designed by Younès Rabii, original painting by Bruegel.

Calculations on the left:
1. A
2. A^B
3. A^(B+C)
4. A^(C-B)
5. A^(B+D)*C
6. A^(C+D+E)/2
7. A^(D-C+E)/2
8. ?

Reminder that the CRPG Book is freely available as PDF. That's how the whole project started, I edited & designed it

But the difference in awareness when it went from a free ebook to a hardcover was gigantic. I hope Bitmap recovers from this mess, publishers are important to reach the mainstream :/

Hi, I spent 10+ years researching all sorts of PC RPGs: AAAs, indies, RPG Maker, non-English, etc. Together with 167 volunteers, I created/edited The CRPG Book: crpgbook.wordpress.com

You can download it for free, or buy a hardcover edition from Bitmap Books - ALL author's revenue goes to charity!❤️

Should you find yourself in a similar position, this video has a lot of tells to watch for. I’d add:
• fabric looks fake/lines are wobbly
• pattern doesn’t come with instructions (what are you paying for in that case?)

Estas regulaciones ambientales deben, sin duda, incluirse en las políticas de desarrollo regionales y tomarse en consideración para futuros proyectos turísticos y de transporte.

También es necesario evaluar el impacto de las zonas urbanas y granjas porcinas y de otras posibles causas de contaminación de la única fuente de agua con la que contamos en la región, que es precisamente el 𝙖𝙜𝙪𝙖 𝙨𝙪𝙗𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙖́𝙣𝙚𝙖.

Estos sistemas de cuevas descargan el agua continental hacia el Mar Caribe, proveyendo un sistema de drenaje natural ante eventos ciclónicos. Si estos conductos de agua subterránea se ven modificados u obstruidos repentinamente, el agua se acumula causando grandes inundaciones.

Halloween is fast approaching, and I'd love some more eyes for Without a Dawn. Yesterday, Jacob Geller talked about my game, which was an incredible feat! I feel some momentum building. Press, influencers, if you're into odd indie horror games, let me know! ☺️

“se respetaba la Constitución“, “eran menos corruptos”, “eran más tolerantes“, etc. Todas (TODAS) esas afirmaciones son imprecisas, incompletas, tramposas o de plano falsas, y muy nocivas: impiden la comprensión del poder causal negativo de ese pasado sobre sucesivos presentes.

Yo aquí a las exhibiciones de la escuela de cine, uno pequeño llamo Kino Artis y a festivales cuando hay chance aunque suelen ser solo de animación por motivos prácticos.

This is how I imagine JK Rowling when she posts.

JK Rowling says "ha ha.. h-heh. I won! I won!" She sits alone in the dark, bathed in the late of her computer screen. We pull back to see her in a large dark empty room. She continues "I won." Seeing the full scope of her cavernous workplace, she appears small and alone. She says, once again, "I won..."

...point out where I would place my main disagreement. I did doubt about commenting but I took the message from the video about please disagree with reasons. I don't have much time right now, and if there is any interest I would be happy to argue about my differences better but sadly not right now.

Daniel @dadadan.bsky.social · 2d

... But also it is about me not being very persuaded by the idea of the authority of the critic nor that particular interpretation of the death of the author. As I mentioned, I have many punctual disagreements, but I needed a bit of time, I just felt it was at least needed from my side to...

And yes, your argument in principle is about open but the main criticism was that the phrasing "not for me" signals a certain position that you both find not good for discourse, and then questions the intentions of using it. I am a bit more inclined to grant the former than the latter...

This is why I don't like skeeting sometimes... I would say not the tone but the form of the arguments, that is a but thinking aloud at parts. So I was referring to this as a conversation and I wouldn't critique it as an essay.

Daniel @dadadan.bsky.social · 2d

... on this is what criticism and reviewing should be. I do have punctual difference with most of the arguments (and especially the argumentation but in that case I would just say live podcasts are where I feel I need to be more understanding) but skeets aint the best place for long exchanges.

Daniel @dadadan.bsky.social · 2d

Just for being transparent to Jake, my main point of difference is that I feel their conceptual grounding for what a critic is and what it does is too narrow and limited. I am perfectly fine with the argument being "the kind of criticism I want is this and not this" but I would really push back...
