Every-time I play System Shock 2 I always grab that basketball in the beginning. Then I spend the entire game with it taking up a valuable inventory slot, and usually forget to use it for it’s purpose anyway…

#wip of something I'm working on. Interested in skies lately, I wanted to have a big expansive one. We'll see where this goes... #sketch #art #digitalart

System Shock 3 as a System Shock 2 expansion? 🤔

This was a fun one to work on, until it wasn't! Then it became a bit of a slog, see if you can guess where I reached that point. Still, this was to practice backgrounds without black outlines, and a more varied set of expressions.

Four images featuring the same two sisters, each with varied expressions/emotions. Reassurance, excitement, fear, hunger.

"Catch of the day"

Kind of a sequel picture to this: cara.app/post/342f71c...

Really like the sky reflections here. Was inspired by some of the visuals in the SNES game Pilotwings...

Two sisters stand on an old, splintery, wooden dock. The reflection of the sky shines in the water around them. The two are dressed in summer clothing, and the younger one is holding a fish.

Still got this piece kicking around, commanding a few moments a day to add extra detailing or put in a very rough figure. These types of pictures are fun because they’re done in such an improvised manner, just branching one section off another. #wip #digital #sketch

Might be able to find a website hosting an Invidious instance, which is an alternative “website” to youtube, put simply. I’ve dabbled in it here and there but I’m not sure you can use your existing account outright. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invidious

Very nice! The expression and pose are well done.

WIP of the next comic page. It's been taking awhile! Not because it's that involved, but because I haven't been working on it... Trying to fix that now.

Curious? Read the comic here: martenwood.thecomicseries.com

A very rudimentary study of digital texturing, using a sketch I had inked from awhile back. Further practice is required, but I dig these initial steps.

True! I do use Proton for email primarily myself. But, self-hosting email is several times more difficult to do safely than it is for any of their other product categories. It’s easier to make the compromise there, and Proton offers a much more competitive product.

Eike A. Weir @martenwood.com · Jul 23

I'm sure your presumption is correct. Still, if one is really privacy focused I can't imagine wanting to feed potentially sensitive data into what is ultimately someone else's LLM, even if it is Proton.

This product, like most AI products, is wholly unnecessary. GenAI ethics concerns aside, anyone worried about LLM privacy is just gonna run local models. Couldn’t these resources have been allocated to better linux support and other features that people have actually been requesting?

Have been taking a short art sabbatical. The uh, System Shock 2 remaster came out recently, so that’s been eating up a lot of my free time…

Wake Me Up If You Catch Anything

Now in color! As I always wanted to make it. Ocean effects inspired by the Wind Waker's way of handling the great sea. Always liked that effect.

I've been wanting to post some timelapses to YouTube and other such sites. Still trying to figure out a good format for it, but experimentation is fun, so I've uploaded something: youtu.be/tQsssT50Ahc
