From a casual worldbuilding project of mine. Just four more countries to go until I finish the first continent. Don't mind the sameface syndrome and identical body types - I just made a basic base to get clothes designs done more easily.

Wow - this style of map is incredibly visually pleasing! I can imagine it being used for fantasy novels focused entirely on one trip the characters make, for a travel route in DnD, and beyond.

Incredible heat calls for incredible seersucker.

This is my first time working with the fabric, but it came together into one of my best shirts yet. This thing looks (at a glance) like it came off a store rack, and I couldn't be more proud of that fact.

Hi folks! I just joined Beehaw as part of the Rexxit, and wanted to show one of my pieces to the fine folks in this community. I do a Halloween project every year, and for 2021, I painted the ghost with the most!

I tested out my new paints and tried to not work on it for too long. I think it turned out quite okay. What do you think? Id like some tips, if you have any good ones for me.

This was sort of an experiment to see how the motion comic format would work. The original comic was one I did a few years ago for Inktober (using ink and watercolor), and it was all chopped up and edited into a video using Krita and Kdenlive.

I do, most of the time. I've always felt creative, I always have thousands of ideas and concepts for anything, be it a drawing, a song or a text of any kind, but regardless of what it is, anytime I sit down and try to make something I hate it, I hate it so deeply it disgusts me and kills any will to continue whatever it is I'm doing.

I tried to write some lyrics some days ago, it felt okay-ish until I wnt back and read it, at which point it feelt as if I was seeing someone else in the mirror: all the things, the ideas, the feelings I thought I put in it just aren't there. It feels hollow, alien, repulsive.

I know I can't be good as a beginner, but I've been a beginner in everything since I was a kid. And I kept trying and trying and trying, and every time I felt that feeling of disgust and repulsion, outrage even. I just can't stand it anymore, and maybe "art", or rather artistic self-expression, isn't my thing? Maybe I keep trying to open a door that simply isn't the one I'm supposed to open?

Did you ever feel this way and overcame it? I don't even care about making whatever I make public, I just want to feel as if I gave shape to something I thought or felt.

I made this silly low-poly water creature a while ago using Blockbench. Completely forgot its existence until now

New handbag (lemmy.ca)

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/899748

I made another handbag. I had that design in mind for a long time (before I even started hand sewing). The red leather is Arif & Sons in chomp red (Jack glazed) and then is used a black vegtan as strap.

Exactly a week later, hello again!

I was so flattered by people's reaction to my last post - thank you for making me feel so welcomed by this community! I'm still toying with icon redesigns, but I noticed that people were equally (if not more) interested in the theme ideas I posted - so I've spent the last week trying to make them a reality! I call them Hive Light and Hive Dark, and I think they're ready to share with you all.

I was able to incorporate lots of tweaks to Beehaw's UI, including:

  • Customisable levels of minimalisation
  • Consistent padding and spacing site-wide, increasing legibility and cleanliness without sacrificing too much information density
  • Repositioned various UI/UX elements to make Beehaw easier and more intuitive to navigate
  • Consistent bee-themed colors! Lots of yellows, browns, and blues that play nice with each other and pass accessibility standards
  • Hover effects to reduce unnecessary line breaks with long hyperlinks
  • And more! But not that much more, it's just some CSS after all ;)

Hive Light:

Hive Dark:

There are more screenshots on the GitHub!

Installation is pretty simple as well:

  • Install Stylebot - this was the only CSS extension I found that worked reliably across browsers and consistently applied settings. YMMV with other extensions - Stylus just didn't work well for me :(
  • Check your Beehaw settings and select "darkly" if you want to use Hive Dark, and "litely" if you want to use Hive Light
  • Copy and paste the contents of either Hive_Light_Theme.css or Hive_Dark_Theme.css from the GitHub page into the "code" section of Stylebot
  • Et Violà!

This isn't my first time designing a UI, but it is my first time doing it with CSS edits, so I fully expect there to bugs and inefficient code. I would love to hear your feedback and incorporate new ideas into future versions. And feel free to copy my homework! If I can figure out this CSS stuff in a week, so can you, and I'd love to see what other people create.

One caveat: the Lemmy v0.18.0 release includes lots of (really awesome) updates to Lemmy-UI that will break this theme. I don't know when Beehaw will update, but I imagine it's imminent, so there will be more work to be done soon I'm afraid.

Thanks for reading, and take care!

My newest Blender project I completed a few days ago. Made entirely in Blender with a smidge of touching up in Photoshop! It didn't end up how I envisioned it in my head but I'm still pleased with the result regardless.

More of my work here.
