Learning new #art techniques and visualization tricks is just a cycle of:
"Okay, why can't I do this thing?"
"Well now I feel dumb. That's so simple!"
"Look how good it is now! Aaaaaaah!"
"And if I pair it with ... wait let me just ... uh."
"Okay, why ca..."
And I love every second of it.

I was looking up references and came to realize that some of the most popular games right now all have graphics that are at best Elite: Dangerous on High quality, or Valheim on medium.
Yet my 1660 struggles to run some of these on low.
Did we forget how to optimize code/graphics drawing?

*See's Canada is getting into Eurovision, brokering new trade deals, and signing defence deals with the EU*
Are we joining the European Union? Is that something we're trying to do? Because if it is ... our public transit and train game is seriously lacking.

I don't think I can stream tonight at all. The pre-finale fireworks show is scaring my cat. I have a surprise last-minute government thing to do.
If I do stream it will be early tomorrow to welcome you all into the new year. We'll talk new years resolutions, plans, and more then. Sorry all.

Starting tomorrow (in 1 hour), I'm issuing myself a challenge:
For the next year, I'm setting aside two hours each day to draw. And until I do draw for 2 hours, I'm banning myself from gaming and social media.
I'm going to get better at #art and fight my disassociation problem. Wish me luck

If I have to choose between looking like every other adult on the street, or like Mz. Frizzle, or like I got left behind when the renaissance fair left town, I'll choose the latter two.
"But Tali, Mz. Frizzle is a school teacher, and the other is an actor!"
But why do they get to have all the fun?

To everyone who commented that my wardrobe of dark clothing, interest in classical music/jazz and dark magic themed novels was a "phase"? Well, I have come to a realization:
It wasn't a cry for help.
It wasn't depression.
It was, and always had been about joy.
And ... I'm bringing it back.

If I manage to get about 3 full outfits from this, I'll start a YouTube series called "Trans Teusdays" where I go through #trans supportive and queer content to laugh, smile, and spread a little joy.
The ball is in their court, and I don't hold out hope they won't try to score another "point".

A new item slot on my Thrones girly-girl list opens ...
As a surprise to no one, the bigots tried to score another "point" on me (were transphobic). They just can't help but try to pick on a #trans woman. So, rules are I add another item.
White thigh highs coming soon.

I aim to be someone who smiles, uplifts, and brings happiness wherever she goes. Not the girl who cries and hides because someone misgendered, insulted, and disrespected me.
Why would I let my haters define me? They're the worst of society. They're an easily surpassable bar.

You can either be the sidekick to someone elses lifes story, or an obstacle they overcome.
I know which I'd rather be.
So give your #queer friends a text or a call this holiday. If they're with unsupportive family, they could use a sidekicks help to fight back a bit of that darkness.

I'm #live on #twitch in as full #goth as I can be given the skirt was delayed to December 31st. Looks like being full goth is a new years resolution?

Also I can't paint my nails with any skill and got paint everywhere. I also need to redo my lipstick, so ... just a sec.

How this would work is: I'd set a campaign on Kofi or gofund me and if a certain threshold is reached, I have to lock away all my non-goth aesthetic clothing and all my old boy clothing I sometimes use and buy goth aesthetic girl clothing.
Any clothing and make-up suggestions would be considered.

I told someone at work what's been happening on my #twitch streams and what's coming up once the skirt arrives ( #goth outfit ) and their response was; "Oh so like that one streamer that did girl-month".
And look. I'm not f1nnister, but like ... should I do "Goth Girl Month"?

Stream isn't happening today because all the items that were sent through Throne ared coming today. This means that tomorrow and the statutory Christmas day off, I'll be in the Goth clothing and make-up I was sent.
Goth catgirl mode is a thing I guess.

Okay, but what's the functional difference between a brown long-haired (and thus bushy tailed) catgirl and a brown-haired foxgirl?
Both have the bushy tail, and pointed ears with the tip floofs ...
Is it colouration? Markings? And is that enough for the audience to distinguish the difference?

Today just got interesting.
I found out my pre-transition, pre-realization self got trans-vestigated and accused of being a transgender man.
I'm a transgender woman, and transphobes thought this guy was FtM because my "shoulders are not broad enough", I was "thin", and I had "signs of hips".

My mistake here was learning the rigging software first, before learning how to make Art. I'm ... one dense dork sometimes.
Okay, but I get it now. I got there. This ... might make what I'm doing simpler. Draw the piece, then cut out the object desired, and then modify it to form.

Ooooooh! So you draw it without layers, T posed, and then section out the parts (cut it) to modify the pieces to reduce file bulk and system lag.
Here I am building a #vtuber avatar with an OOP (object oriented programming) first mindset. Avatar creation is OOP last. Image first, then into parts.
