I want to make a creature design portfolio with really consistent pieces of work using the the workflow of Hardy Fowler, from Digital Painting Studio. I'm just in time for the last day of #Mermay, so here you go: A mermaid/merfolk inspired by an #Oarfish! I forgot to record the creation process, unfortunately. I'm probably going to focus on creature design the coming weeks, so you can expect more of these kinds of work.

@bestiaexmachina Thanks, that's good to hear 😁 I had been staring at it for such a long time that I really started to doubt if it was any good design. Probably need to look at it with fresh eyes in a few days.

ca.2006, eine gute Freundin erzählt mir, wie sie beim Aussteigen in der S Bahn in Bern etwas zu hastig war und in jemanden hineingelaufen ist. Kurze Entschuldigung, dann die Erkenntnis. Es war der damalige Bundespräsident (CH). 2023, Youtube erzählt mir, es gab große Aufregung, weil sich ein Zivilist unter die Bodyguards von Bundeskanzler (D) beim Einsteigen in dessen gepanzerte Limousine gemischt hat. #verkehrswende

I am thrilled to announce that UX and UI designer @menica is joining us to improve Godot and gamedev education!

The expertise of UX designers is unfortunately still often undervalued, so we will try to share her work and show you all the things an experienced designer sees that we often miss or don't even think about.

She will work on making educational content more accessible, interactive, and interesting.

And it is very easy to install a new SMP server on an AMD64 Yunohost to decentralize the network. install-app.yunohost.org/?app=… A desktop client is the only thing missing IMO.

It's not possible to protect children by banning their privacy, breaking #encryption or putting a backdoor into online services, which realistically, can be exploited by anyone. That is not protection, it's the opposite.

The part of the Star Wars mythos where the incompetent elites who failed to stop the system from sliding into fascism simply go into hiding and do nothing, waiting for a bunch of kids to grow up and fix the problem themselves hits pretty hard right now.

No one ever asks "how will roads pay for themselves or make a profit". But they do it with the post office and public transit. It's a brilliant messaging strategy to make people forget that their gas guzzling monopoly loses money paid for by taxes, but the other services are held to another standard entirely

If we priced externalities into the cost of fossil fuels, it’s not a profitable business.

The cleanup costs in California will be triple the industry’s projected profits, and that doesn’t even include cleaning up CO₂ and CH₄ from the atmosphere.
