My Life and How to Find Me
As I’ve dedicated more and more free time to art the universe appears to want to knock me down. I started this post in … April? I had a hard winter, for lots of reasons, mostly health but I started to get back into the swing of things, posting videos, painting, writing. I thought after…

Sigh… Art, Writing, Screwing Up Blog Posts
Needing to create has brought me here. I’m arting fairly often. At least 2 – 3 projects a week. Practice in between. My writing is still stalled. Kinda. Kinda. I’m working on getting my world into World Anvil. And I’m trying to organize my thoughts. It’s hard. My thoughts have scattered like so many pieces…

No Man’s Sky: Survival on a Toxic Planet
The first thing I met in No Man’s Sky was something akin to a Pug. I started on the toxic planet of Iroksta Vudbok. Since I got the preorder bonus ship, I started with that (no I don’t know how to build a hyperdrive, but I hear doing a few jumps and not buying a…

Another Dealing with Pain Post
I know. I did it again. Hurt my back. That’s what happens when you carry around a well trained pug for about three hours to keep her from peeing. She refused to pee while I held her, however her good training doesn’t extend to the occasional wiggle which wrenched my back into pain city. The…

Mixing Gunk
I’ve used blending gel and floating medium for a while to thin my paints while painting miniatures. However, I’ve always used them separately, mixing on the fly. I finally decided to pre-mix. Mainly because my base pots (empty pots I keep frequently used colors in) didn’t have room for green. So I got an empty…

Redesign – HTML5 & CSS3 Crack
Finally, the redesign for this year is complete, albeit only complete enough for putting up. There are some, continuity issues and well it’s only as done as the current state of browsers will let me be done. But hell, it’s HTML5. Way more awesome than I thought. I can easily add elements as they become…

To Do or Not
So I have a sketch feed at http://tirjasdyn.tumblr.com/, where I upload WIPs and stuff the amuses me too. Final images may end up on this website. Well, recently I have a few folks, whom I don’t know, and some I do, ask for prints or ask to buy stuff. This is uncharted territory for me.…

Painter 12
Through a nifty combination of coupons, upgrade pricing and sales I got my hands on Corel Painter 12. OMG I’m in love. Pencils work like pencils should. That means the scribbling I do with my 4h pencil on Painter 12 looks like the same scribbling I do with my real 4h pencil, just not staining…

On Painting and other fun things.
[singlepic id=88 w=320 h=240 float=left] So I’ve been working on this for a year. I’ve never been good with drawing the male body. So I spent the last year practicing it and working on this at the same time. Another gamer stopped me during a game over a year ago and asked if I still…

Flames in the Dark
So I have to redesign Denver Fiction Writers because the current theme doesn’t support some new functionality. That’s what I get for using a premade theme. I like them for ease of use but it comes back and bites you for customization. Also I’m working on design for Fuzzy Building Blocks, the current site for…

Vue 9
I’ve upgraded from Vue 6I to Vue 9 Complete. It’s quite a jump though I’m happy to say a good jump. Vue 9 is much more stable than 6. The default interface is cleaner and easier to read. Ecosystems painting is smooth and much easier to use. I created this picture yesterday. I used an…
