There's nowhere in the country where chocolate bars are $1.00, FALSE

wait...you have sweets called "mounds" 0_o

Cool costume though

Nobody likes Mounds. It's gross.

That's... not what I was getting at, people.

Don't make us PUSH it out of you... what is it man?

You see, sometimes you feel like a nut, but sometimes you don't.

Coconut is disgusting. That is all.

You put the lime in the coconut, you drink both together.
You put the lime in the coconut then you feel better.

Easiest song to learn on the guitar. Horse with no Name is next.

I don't actually care much for or against coconuts.

There is a lot of coconut milk in Thai recipes. Mmmmmm.

Coconut consistency = vomit
Coconut flavor = yummy

I don't think I've posted these ones yet? I've lost track to be honest. I like the heavy dark blocking to these as a composition.

Note to self: 6, 8, 9, 10 left

I'd go with a stranger for coconut!

I haven't posted anything in a WHOLE PAGE. That is unnaceptable.

Just for fun I coloured a drawing from last year about this time which was part of a small collection of non-christmas Christmas cards (focusing on pagan roots, festivals, etc).

Might try seeing if I can do some more this year, and finish colouring the others while I'm at it.

Just wanted to pop in and say Affinity Designer is the bomb!
I am still exploring it as I got it yesterday.
But, while it is clear there are some neat tools exclusive to Illustrator, Affinity Designer is only $50!
And TBH, while those extra tools are a lot of fun and I wish Designer had them, the tools only offer other ways of doing the same thing.
So Designer has 3-4 ways of creating something whereas Illustrator has 5-6.
Again, one of those Illustrator tools may be your go to so it is possible that you might be more frustrated than me.
But again... $50, not $20 a month. Even if they do annual updates, you are saving a ton of money.
I pulled the trigger on Designer because Adobe released XD (its Sketch competitor I had high hopes for) which let me down and chose to go the subscription route

Hmmm. Consider me interested. Haven't worked in Illustrator for quite a few years. It just got too damn expensive, and my CS2 copy doesn't play with Windows 10. It's $50 flat price? No subscription model?

That looks pretty awesome. I'm looking for Apps outside of the CS ecosystem, that looks pretty much perfect!

WIP that took me about an hour after 1.5 hours playing with Affinity Designer. Its quite capable for sure.

edit: Wow! Imgur butchered the quality of that pdf...

How does this compare to Gimp?

1.5 hours with Affinity Designer... or Microsoft Paint?

Gimp is different in that it is (primarily?) a raster drawing program whereas Affinity Designer is vector based.
There is a free trial to try for yourself.

work in progress digital portrait ... still have more to do on it (especially with the hair) but I need to be getting on with some actual homework for now!

And here's stage 2!

Still working on the left hand but IMO that might just be the best right arm/hand I think I've ever drawn or painted.

third update!

I'm much less confident at drawing upper torso's at weird angles, so I think I still need to tweak this a fair bit (seems too short to me) but still, pretty happy with how this is going...

That's looking really good, Pyxistyx!

My pride and joy. I named him SAMSON.

My first ever PC build. Runs like a dream and delivers delicious 4k gaming to my eye holes. Big thanks to GWJ member and friend Tempest for the help getting this behemoth made.
