How 3D I got this to look!
It's a little mace like thing my character has on the end of his tail, it's shiny and spiky but it's just...I picked quite possibly the hardest shape to paint in a way that looks convincingly 3D, but I think I pulled it off! π
This is awesome! I thought this was a model render until I read your description.
Thanks so much! That's just what I am aiming for!
Looks cool
Thank you! π For this drawing I'm going to try my best to make it look as closely to a scene from a Gamecube-era game as I can! I always loved how old 3D games looked!
I worked 4 hours today, filling in for someone, and I made it through the first half of the day without getting fired or falling apart.
Not a lot to be proud of, I guess, but its been a while since I was able to be productive for even a few hours at a time.
Sounds like a positive step forward, we're rooting for you.
I've just taught myself to knit. I made a simple ribbed hat and now I'm halfway through a cabled headband. There are loads of mistakes and it's not as relaxing as I would have hoped but I'm proud of it all none the less.
Deciding not to settle for a "red flag" person and instead respect my boundaries, rather than let myself be with a manipulative and dangerous person.
I purchased a Tp-Link Archer C7 router at a thrift store for 5 dollars. Brought it home and flashed a specific revision of open-wrt to its firmware, and then ran an update file on top of that firmware revision to turn it into a pineapple router.
Had no idea if it would work when I was doing this.
Works great, the 5 bucks was totally worth it, and now I can use it to test hardening on my mobile devices.
I recently started using voice (SSB) on the HF ham bands, and have made contacts on 15, 17, 20, and 40m. No real DX, but made one foreign contact ~1000mi away and another domestic ~2000mi away.
I live in a city and it's challenging to get a good antenna setup, so it's always a compromise where I am.
Nothing very impressive by ham standards, but it's fun.
Ham radio is fun. Im not active, but maybe try posting a conversation on the different ham radio Lemmy communities.
I learned how to use and configure kipper on a printer. Trying to make a model how.
Finally pulled the trigger and started emailing therapists to look for who's taking clients. That I got anxiety just thinking about doing this should have been my first clue I need therapy.
Iβm rooting for you! Just been through the same thing.
Currently training to be sous chef at a restaurant I've only worked at for 6 months. Feels pretty good ngl.
I wrote a program to make a web server with routes and their content sourced from a text file in golang. I have wanted to learn go for a while so this was a good first step!
I finally got the musical instrument I've been lusting over for years now:
Made authentic butter chicken yesterday and it came out better than I hoped for.
