Took a detour on my way home from the city today to look for snowy owls and lucked into one just before sunset. They're such beautiful birds. #birds 🌿

Welcome to Zood!
#cloudwardhospoilers

What an adventure, huh??? This amazing piece was a collaboration, I did the layout and lineart, and the colors were done by @galacticjonah.bsky.social and @domirine.bsky.social Art Squad Foreverrr!

The panoramic landscape of Zood. From left to right, arched mountains on a cliff face, a massive waterfall casting a rainbow with the edge of a desert behind. The rivers lead to swamps and estuaries, with crystal mountains in the far background. The swamps lead to forests which lead to rainforest basins, and finally floating mountains and cliffs with inverted waterfalls. Many moons and planetary rings hang in the sky, and the foreground is filled with lush forest made of primordial trees.

Oh also! The Eisengeistian Wasps from Gath :) These were super fun to work on - again a collaboration with @domirine.bsky.social and @galacticjonah.bsky.social, without whom I would have drowned in the sheer amount of ARTE this season ♥

#cloudwardhospoilers #cloudwardho #dimension20
Eisengeistian Wasps - flying machines with canvas wings and large propellers. Widow's Breath exhaust streams out of the back. Soldiers with lightning rifles and mech suits with machine guns stand on the body and wings of the ship, pointing their weapons towards the camera.

It is extremely funny to me that Erika Ishii said this in a year she was the protagonist in a major video game

What if color harmonies were a continuum? Not fixed rules, and you could glide through them just by interpolating?

An older watercolour drawing from when I used to make frequent trips to sketch in London. This shows the Embankment with lots of pigeons, a pavement artist and a couple of Japanese young women on one of the benches. This was sold at an exhibition.

A very good boy! 🐾🐕😍

An amazing c. 3,400 year-old ancient Egyptian dog carved from ivory. This leaping dog opens and closes its mouth as if barking by using a lever below its chest.

The Met 📷 by me

#Archaeology
My photo shows a three quarter profile of an ancient Egyptian figurine of a leaping dog facing left. Carved from ivory, now a warm caramel brown colour with glossy surface. The dogs eyes are outlined in black, the ears are floppy, the mouth is slightly ajar (the inside of the mouth is painted red - not sen in my photo). The front and back legs are outstretched as if running at full speed. A lever under the dog’s chest opens and closes the mouth so that the dog looks as if it’s barking. Dimensions: L 18.2 cm × H 6.1 cm × W 3.6 cm. Dated to Late Dynasty I8, I400-I350 BC, reign of Amenhotep III who was Tutankhamun’s grandfather. The dog is mounted on a thin metal rod in a display case. In the background in the same display case is a ‘galloping’ brown horse, which is the handle of an ancient Egyptian fly whisk or light whip.

This reminds me of something that became a problem with Insomniac's in-house engine

The floating point accuracy of the engine hadn't been updated since the PS2 days, or at least that's what I was told, so you end up with situations like this swimmy cutscene

If you don't trust Google then you probably shouldn't use Gmail, but the claim it's training AI on your emails and attachments has *no real source that i have been able to find whatsoever*

And they said on the record that it doesn't matter whether you have the smart settings on or not, they don't.
