agh god these pics are like the most quaint thing ever and make me so happy, it's making me want to draw my characters holding grocery store snacks. I need to doodle my sona holding econo cookies or something (specifically the square ones)

For those who aren't familiar, it's essentially an offline art tagging tool! It provides a few quality of life features for managing your gallery like batching source files with images and a filename search that doesn't take forever. You can read more about it here!

For the past few months, I've been working on a little gallery organization tool so that I can finally organize my art by character/species, and I figured I'd make it publicly available in case anyone else wanted to do the same!

I'm gonna be honest, I'm just thrilled someone was able to read the effect as heavy rain, because by the time I finished it, I couldn't even tell anymore LOOOOL

That'd be a super cool fight though! I've always wanted to do a scene like that with extremely intense weather effects

Every so often, I find myself scrolling back to look at this pic. As someone who started learning how to draw kinda late, I find this piece nostalgic in a comforting way.

Also I just really like this pic, I literally can't figure out how you made that zigzag effect on the inner art look so perfect

lol I can actually specifically relate to this. I would love to learn how to make a good chicken noodle but every recipe online is like "Takes 10 cups of broth and three whole chickens, serves 800"

I'm particularly obsessed with the color mixing and brushwork you used to depict the refraction on the translucency! It's such a delightful, evocative effect

possibly the cutest expression to have ever been drawn

Bummer too since I was actually kind of looking forward to having a dedicated linux machine. Oh well, fun idea for the future I guess
