I finally finished a portrait of Fel the Fenrir from "Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill" as a gift for my partner @vancityray.bsky.social ❤️🎉 #anime #art #fanart #gouache #acrylicgouache #acrylagouache #Liquitex #LiquitexAcrylicGouache #painting #traditionalart #tradart
Fel the Fenrir, a large wolf-like creature with thick fur and a luxurious flowing tail, basks contentedly in the sun on vibrant green grass. Cliffs rise in the background, topped by more scrubby grass.

Oooooooooo I’m cookin’ tonight 😍 I busted out my #Holbein #IridoriSeries #gouache #paint and picked some pretty tricky #StillLife subjects to try my hand at, and I’m really proud of what I learned in the process!
Still life gouache paintings of an eggplant and red cabbage on toned watercolour paper.

Went to a splendid #CandlelightConcert last night featuring arrangements of pieces from #TheLordoftheRings and #GameofThrones for string quartet. There’s something magical about #livemusic , especially #orchestral or #choral #concert 😭❤️

I am suffering from the most trifling malaise, some shitty little cold, and after doing some push-ups yesterday my chest hurts, so I got two birds stoned at once with my magic bag on my chest 😂

Ok I cannot stress just how much I love #HarbourAir . The staff are super friendly, and the whole baggage weight thing was Not A Big Deal In The Slightest 😭🙏🏼Also, it’s a 35 min flight from #VancouverBC to #VictoriaBC, and you don’t have to show up too soon beforehand (they recommend 40 min). STOKED!

If you see this you're now obligated to reply to this with your:
favorite Animal Crossing game 🌱
& your favorite Animal Crossing villager 🩷
A promo picture for Animal Crossing: New Horizons featuring a swath of loveable anthropomorphic characters. Two islanders are at the foreground, one wearing a hat and wielding an axe, and the other at a crafting table sawing a log. Wanda’s favourite AC:NH character, Elvis, who always reminded them of their grandfather with his affectionate grumbling belying his gruff affect. He is a lion wearing royal garb, and has a tough-looking scar on his cheek and an imperious stare.

It's rainy AF today here in not-so-sunny Vancouver, so in other words the perfect weather for melancholic piano arrangements of Elder Scrolls music! 😂 #elderscrolls #pianoarrangement #music #piano #videogamemusic

After scouring the manpage syntax docs for how to add an extra indent to one of my .TP (should convert to a list, but that adds a list item char & means a lot more fussing with manpage formatting syntax than I can emotionally handle), I just chucked a .RS and a .RE in there and called it a day lol
man(7): macros to format man pages - Linux man page
Note that NET-2 BSD mdoc man pages can be used with groff simply by specifying the -mdoc option instead of the -man option.

You know those moments when AddressSanitizer is poppin’ off and you don’t have the emotional capacity to dig into why it’s crapping out over some memory allocation in the bowels of a legacy codebase that you skitter on the surface of regularly but of which you don’t actually understand the internals

Tryin’ to take selfies that show off my strong jaw for perfectly cis reasons

Trying to practice creating a sense of depth with haphazard florals! #gouache #Holbein #HolbeinGouache #HolbeinIridoriSummerSet
A gouache painting of a verdant array of roses and periwinkles, which burst forth alongside tufts of grass from a dark, velvety square backdrop.

Today was rough so I decided to practice drawing plants. It was fun to experiment! #gouache #HIMIgouache #jellygouache #HIMI #moleskine #moleskinenotebook #painting #practice
A moleskine notebook with small gouache vignettes of leaf paintings, where I was experimenting with different background shades and the effect of lighter and darker colour layers of the same verdant family.

LOL The internet appears to be doing an oopsie right now. First noticed that cplusplus.com was down (cuz I obsessively refer to the docs for C standard library functions), now the discover feed for BlueSky is throwing an error. Which devops dept is on fire right now? LOL

Holy forking shirtballs, Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein was absolutely astonishing; I haven’t been this gobsmacked by a production in years. Sumptuous sets and superb costuming supported a stellar cast performing a damned fine script! This is definitely motivating me to re-read Frankenstein!

This was another addition from this week in my #moleskine, created using the very first #gouache paints that I bought (from the #VancouverArtGallery ‘s gift shop, I might add!)
A colourful array of shapes painted on a moleskine notebook; the pages are slightly warped from this water-based medium, and the page makes a rigid crackling sound when turned.

Felt good to paint in my #moleskine sketchbook with #HIMIgouache ! Impressed with how the paper doesn’t buckle with a bit of water #jellygouache #HIMI #HIMIjelly #HIMIjellygouache #gouache
A demonic figure stares menacingly at the viewer with three bulging eyes, its porcine nose squashed between those foul orbs, brandishing its snake-like tongue like a whip. You can practically feel its fetid breath cascading from the screen as it slavers with murderous intent.

Presenting #ThePeppermancer from #TheCosmicWheelSisterhood !! I absolutely adored this game, and loved her story arc in particular 🌶️🫑🔥 It's a splendid cozy game to curl up with this spooky season! #cozygame #cozygames #cozygaming #visualnovel #game #gaming #SpookySeason
The Peppermancer, a character from The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood, sits at Fortuna's table and smiles as she presents her newest cultivar: The Pepper of Truth! She is wearing a wide brimmed hat from which are hung vials of hot sauce, and her neck is adorned with strands of shiny hot peppers. Her shawl is wrapped around her, but has fallen from her shoulders to bunch around her arms. The window opens into the great expanse of space in which Fortuna's prison is suspended.

And of course AddressSanitizer is inconsistently emitting certain false-positive errors on macOS ARM64 (related to how clang implementation of sprintf() handles its internal buffers??) and I'm sitting here hunched over the icdiff of two sets of logs for runs with the same parameters perishing slowly

Manual testing is poo and why I usually write code to do it for me; I made an issue last week about updating (or adding to) the CI config files to perform a more comprehensive battery of functional testing, but that means I'm stuck for now pecking in various parameterizations of the CLI 😆
