I Asked My Partner About How He’d Feel About Drawings, And He Basically Mentioned That He Would Feel

Oh boo hoo! I didn't translate the list in the exact same order! I'm kinda mad about DuoLingo being picky about things! I know that it's probably some sort of weird function involving an <ol> tag somewhere, but it's like...why do I have to get penalized about "pen and pencil" as opposed to "pencil and pen"?

So, I finally got to making the base vector for my webcomic’s logo...other little fixes aside. Also, this means that the name of this project is out there. :P

(That said, I have learned that it’s actually significantly harder to make wordmarks in Adobe Illustrator that look like wood carvings than it is to do more curvy handlettering in it. Yikes.)

I finally made a motion graphics version of my thing. It’s alive! It’s also terribly compressed, but eh. I can still say I did a thing in After Effects!

This was a pain to make, though. Predominantly because of file sizes. However, feel free to use it for whenever you’re in an internet argument (although you are automatically losing by virtue of the fact that you are in an internet argument. Never forget that.)

I have 50 followers now! I’m planning on doing a Twitch stream around 6:30PM EST or so in order to personally celebrate. (And I will uncharacteristically draw fan art chibis. Probably.)

Today's #throwbackthursday is brought to you by a WIP based off of UCF's branding. It feels oddly appropriate to bring this up while I'm seriously thinking about going back to school at FSU. . . . . . #artistsofinstagram #digitalpainting #illustration #ucf #pegasus #yellow #black #gold #horse #wings https://www.instagram.com/p/B1fhsxihN13/?igshid=htgdbyvvckia

I felt like my headphone cords draped around my head would make a neat aesthetic. I was right. Also, I like my face.

My previous Web design is actually alive now. I'm pretty happy about that. #webdesign #uxdesign #AdobeMuse #officespace #stapler

I know I worked on these a long time ago, but the righthand warlock actually is my gaming icon. (I go by WistfulWarlock in some gaming contexts.)

Anyway, I still like these, even now, and I figured that I should upload them. Seems appropriate during Halloween season.

BTW, they’re transparent. :D

My style of procrastinating—work on other things that aren’t immediately productive, but are productive for things later on down the road that I enjoy.

That said, I’m still a sad sap who’s trying to make black and brown work. (But oh boy, can I tell you how much I like dark reds combined with black?)

I thought about this for a bit while driving a few days ago (anxious rumination will do that), realized that I haven’t bothered to ever use the type-on-path tool in Adobe Illustrator for years, and figured that I might as well give it another stab instead of doing grid design once again.

I’m normally not a big fan of printing things (because it’s expensive), although I’m a bit of an oddball in the sense that I almost always work in CMYK in the event that I might print something for some reason or another. (Hey, you never know when you need to print a logo, even if it’s predominantly supposed to be in digital environments). So, I finally have that stereotypically design-for-designers CMYK piece that most designers have at some point or another. (I’ve noticed it in a lot of people’s design portfolios, anyway. I don’t know why this happens, but I always see it happen.)

I’ve been telling myself that I eventually want to teach myself Adobe AfterEffects. Maybe I should do it with this. (I mean, rotating your head to read arguments is annoying. I might as well do that for to make it an easier viewing experience at some point...even though the bright and obnoxious print colors under Circular Arguments might make it a little annoying.)
