I submitted this free app to the Windows Store/Microsoft Store.

It's a GIF viewer. It lets you take a close look at them.

You can search for "gif enjoyer" on the Windows Store/Microsoft Store app. It's the one with the icon that looks like this:

I'm still updating it with a few more stuff but it takes a few days for the store to approve some updates. I'd like to keep the app simple and focused on what it does though.

I'm still fixing some stuff.

This isn't how I meant for this to work but maybe I'll just keep it this way?

[pharanbrush]

A portable version is now available from itch.io

Since it's portable, it won't auto-update like the Windows Store version does. But it won't require you to make an Microsoft account or link it to Windows.

If you use it for work, I appreciate any small contribution!

Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.

Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

do not leave droids or troopers unsupervised around the medic.

they will be returned with many colorful (and essentially useless) plasters.

somehow, the engineer hasn't thrown her out the airlock yet.

this is to this day my favorite art advice i've ever seen. who is out here like damn figuring out where shadows go is just too hard. guess i've got to simply redraw this pose perfectly at a completely different angle and FOV

[plushmayhem]

Losing my shit remembering this. He admitted he used 3D models for this so he just slapped it together and decided "It's me I'm the one who will make the smart tutorials everyone loves :)"

everyone gets the itch to draw a pokefusion once in a while, right?

All you need in life is a color picker willing to expose you to the unbounded madness we call color vision.

me, absolutely clueless: "I want a color just like this one, but in red" color picker: Fuck you think you are, a Mantis Shrimp? Don't talk to me again until you can afford a wide gamut monitor.

[rnadvillain]

what is even happening here 😨 wheres the circle with the triangle inside we all know and love..

[s-lycopersicum]

The circle and triangle are a lie we tell ourselves to cope with the ugly reality... Now this-- this is the real deal!

In seriousness, this is oklch.com, a color picker for the OKLCH color model.

There are whole several hour lectures one could take in color science and theory, but to keep it short: the set of colors we can see, the set of colors monitors can display, and the set of colors computers can model are three circles that only somewhat overlap.

In this case, if I wanted this color

but in red, I could just go of Photoshop and move over the hue slider, getting this as a result:

Which is.. acceptable, but not as "bright" and "vibrant" as the green I had. Looking at the graphs in the OKLCH color picker, we can figure out why:

It tells us that a red with the same luminosity and chroma as this green is out of gamut—that is, it cannot be displayed by this monitor.

In this case, you can use the edges of the graph to find the color that is closest to what you want. You can, for example, keep the chroma but sacrifice lightness,

keep the lightness but drop the chroma,

or a bit of both, which is what the common HSV triangles already do.

But I like to know when it happens, y'know?

I guess this is what would happen if a werewolf bit a skeleton.

6+ years ago I was super proud of a turtwig I drew and, when shown that doodle today: took unexpected psychic damage from this lil grass bastard

so of course I have to draw him again. 6+ years and he's still on a journey (accuracy for design/colors is almost guaranteed to be Wrong because I was too tired to look up a ref)

WELCOME TO CRINGETOBER!

I wanted to post the prompt list a month in advance so people have time to work on it :)

There are no hard rules; it's just a fun art exercise to draw things that are considered "cringe" by popular culture. Don't stress if you miss a day!!

Even if you don't participate, it would mean the world to me if you just shared the prompt list because it took me a while to make it lol.

I hope you have fun with it!!!

[gidgetdoodles]

came across this challenge, meme, template...? during one of my casual dA rummages and was bit by the I MUST DRAW IT NOW bug. and, of course, I wasn’t going to choose ‘traditional’ animals.
