Creativity of the day

[Lyra]

Lyra: The picture is pretty... nice and off-the-wall, which I like. Looks a lot like a pencil sketch.

It is in fact a pencil sketch, it represents the white dawn which is an important symbology for one of my concultures.

~Lyra

[Torco]

do they wear white pointy masks?

[Lyra]

Nay, it represents the first dawn and belongs to the royal house. The white (sky) and black (mountains) are prevalent in the royal heraldry, normally taking the form of a checkered field or a black zig zag over white.

I decided to learn FamiTracker, so I plugged in some sheet music I had lying around: https://cryptm.org/~nort/noise/meprise.mp3

If you can call it creative, my keyboard felt a little clunky (had it through 2 comps for about 7 years) while I was doing some writing. So I spent the entire night taking all the keys off and cleaning out underneath The Ktuvok might have appreciated the state of it under there.

At least typing this now seems a little more comfortable

today, I worked on revising my conworld (current version has many geogrpahical/tectonic flaws). Took it to my dad, who's a wealthy/experienced geologist. We examined and worked on it for a couple of hours. Best one on one time in ages :)

I'll spend the next few days putting it onto my computer, then onto the internet.

Cool. Didn't realize geology could be a lucrative field either.

A geology major is commonly referred to as a future petroleum engineer.

actually, my dad works mostly in gold mining. He doesn't like oil; surprising, considering he's a Conservative.



Unfortunately, nothing overly creative today so far. Woke up, had breakfast, cleaned out my bedroom. Waiting at the library for a meeting.

[Torco]

well, gold is also quite lucrative
plus, what? there's plenty of mining done besides oil... copper is especially common here, but also silver, selenium, tin, rare earths

More: show

, and don't forget the weirdest stuff like germanium or something.

[patiku]

And don't forget all that lucrative guano your people stole from the Bolivians.

saltpeter, bro, saltpeter. we had guano before the saltpeter wars.

On that subject, a video I made about the history of Chile summed up in six minutes

[Aurora Rossa]

Model of the Skookum Collective coöperative house and café from all those vignettes I have written. I based the design on various houses that I have seen in Seattle and Portland through Google streetviews. This design does not quite follow what I have seen for the most part since it needed two full floors and an attic floor to accommodate the collective and its restaurant. The ground floor contains the restaurant, of course, with the purple sign hanging on the porch bearing the label "Skookum Café" or something (although it bloated the file immensely to actually write that on the sign).

[Gulliver]

I got a graphics pad!



The teeth are wrong. Not bad considering I've had it for an hour and have never particularly been able to draw!

Still better than I can do. Which is why I normally stick to the computer.

Latest odd thing due to creative block in making banknotes:

(Points to whoever can correctly guess what this is for.)

[din]

Some naturalization document?

Looks impressive. I remember that you had a website for your conworld a few years ago - does that still exist?

[vampireshark]

Some naturalization document?

(bell rings to award din five points of some flavor or description)
Yep, that's an "Attestation of Acquisition of Citizenship", or a naturalization certificate. (Will need to correct a few commas here and there, which have to be manually input beneath the letters in the fonts I prefer...)

Edit: latest developments - big map can now be dragged around ...

[hwhatting]

Thanks!

[*Ceresz]

Just a quickie. I really need to get in shape. I might spend some more time detailing it later, or start something a bit more interesting.

Impressive. Is this a copy of a painting or picture, a portrait of some real place, or an imagined factory?

[*Ceresz]

Thanks! It's an imagined environment. Part of the factory is actually a photo which I just used as a quick reference for laying down the composition. I love painting environments, but I always seem to have some trouble placing interesting focus points in them, such as buildings, vehicles and other objects. I guess I just need more practice. I used to draw and paint a lot a few years back, but when my tablet broke I just lost interest and pretty much stopped growing, but now that I've got a new tablet I'm trying to get back on the horse.
