Oil pastel on paper.

Working on this new painting. Not really sure if it's done yet.

This one was not easy. It is made of an aluminium plate under a brass plate, attached together by handmade rivets (tiny nails, that you hammer down on the pointy side at the back to flatten it and clamp the two plates together).

The big difficulty of this is the rivets, that are already not very easy (for me) to do, but here I had to shape them after bending the curve of the two metal plates. Why? Because if you attach them together, then try to bend them, the outer plate has a flatter curve than the inner one, which misaligns the holes of the rivets. And in the process, starts tearing them and causing damage and other problems.

However, hammering down a tiny nail, while having to make sure that the hammering is done in the proper way, on a non-flat surface, feels a little bit like trying to kill a mosquito with a hammer: it doesn't feel right, and you know that it'll probably end in a disaster.

At least, the little problems that appeared in the process are not too visible, but yeah, I'm not so sure I would want to make this one again :')

Fan episode of Octonauts I made for my friends kids. The story was written by a four year old, so yeah.

This makes me happy, I want to be here.

Hi everyone! Guys, I’m inviting all animators to my Fluxer server. I just set this server up today, and I’ll be slowly tweaking it. Some of you might say there’s Discord, but honestly, it’s full of communities. I decided to create a server specifically on Fluxer (Link🔗: https://fluxer.gg/DBTvODdm )—this link expires in 7 days, so hurry up. Of course, I’m still new to animation, so I’ll be learning from you all—feel free to make suggestions and help improve this server!

Made some pixel emojis on Android using PixaPencil

They're called "Pink Cube" and you can find them here #the-sticker-box:chat.blahaj.zone

This is a new sticker room, that would only house stickers we made, or stickers with permissive licneses

We will share them on our codeberg at some point. We'll make an annoucement about it on our fedi account

I carry one of these around with me my whole life and have no idea how it works.

A simple bow with arrows, the bow is copper and the rest is brass. Medieval weapons make for simple but effective earrings, and work well for your next TTRPG game :D

I have also made dangling flail earrings that were fun, but maybe less obviously recognisable than these.

Another craft cut from a brass plate, by hand. This one tries to be rather delicate and not too bulky, and the coin shows a bit the scale of it.

mostly 0.5mm gel pen, just a bit of marker to fill in the bigger swathes of hair
