Custom Botober Day 2: Disrespecting the Ancient Elder Tea

"Yeah, mom? Just checking, tea doesn't go bad right? Didn't have lipton so I tried steeping some of Granma's old stuff instead."

I like how the tea tin came out. Tried using Krita's newer (I think?) brush engine for color blending in a few spots...I'll figure it out.

Custom Botober Day 1: Time-traveling Postman

"Where are we man? Some dystopian future where everyone is the same?" "Nah fam, it's just 1950s American suburbia. I just hope we don't deliver to the wrong house."

The moment I saw the prompt I instantly thought of doing the the USPS's goofy-looking NGDV as the time-traveling device of choice.

Bot-ober drawing challenge

Been a bit since I attempted one of these. It would be poor sport to give up after making it barely a week in 2018. Felt inspired almost immediately after reading a few lines of @aiweirdness's 2023 Botober post. Finding the lists as they were, unsatisfying, I synthesized them into my own list...which I will reveal as I complete them. OooOOooo, a mystery! Enough dawdling, I have some catching up to do for the next few days!

Happy Pride Month

TRANS HUMAN RIGHTS

This double entendre has been banging around my head for ages, I just had to get it down before the clock strikes midnight and pride month ends.

A message of solidarity for now.

A dream of fantastic change for the future.

Shopping for CDs, noticed Amazon was dinging stuff as 'small businesses. Ah yes, OFFICE DEPOT, KNOWN SMALL BUSINESS. right next to mom-n-pop Walmart and Staples at the strip mall.

Installed OpenToonz to try out on my weak laptop, pleased with how quickly I managed to crank this sixteen frame animation out.

How MP3 Players Made Me Hate Touchscreens

Once I had an MP3 player. I could use its features: play/pause/next/previous, adjust volume, and that’s basically it. Life was good. But I made the regrettable decision to find a new one. And the pickings are disappointing. Either I have to constrain myself to cheap-looking gadgets that fit the bill with mechanical buttons but often limited storage and dubious life, make and audio quality, or ,there’s a shift towards MP3 players being luxury audiophile products with touchscreens or a 150$+ premium to be able to spend another 100$ on an SD card to expand the storage. And as appealing as a touchscreen may be, its fatal downside is that it is unusable unless you can see it. Which is ridiculous. It limits its usability in bright outdoors conditions without comprising battery life for a backlight - it makes using it in conditions where you don’t need distractions like driving or study, distracting and sometimes even impossible!, (and yes, using my smartphone as an MP3 player is a distraction as well, though I’d also call it a mistake)

And most insultingly, button functionality generally gets kicked down the line to a button somewhere else! Miss the play/pause/prev/next features? Why, here’s a little plastic doohickey on these earbuds that does ALL of them. Just master the one-click, two-click triple-click  click-and-hold ninja jutsu and maybe one day you’ll be able to skip to the next track without pausing and then replaying the one you just listened to without having to look at your screen! From this perspective, it comes across that touchscreens have impaired designers abilities to use their brains. Yes, a touchscreen is great if you don’t want to force people to use a scroll wheel or d-pad to type stuff. But are they going to be typing stuff or are they going to be listening to music? And if they need to, why not just support hardware like a modern Bluetooth Keyboard if it matters so much? You could afford to have someone else add the doohickey to the earbuds for merely playing/pausing without touching the screen, what’s a missing keyboard going to harm? The listening experience?
