Nov. 12th, 2023 08:22 pmMay as well show it off here. It's a week old, and still...
So this is where I was as of last night:

Mapmaking: A good day
Oct. 17th, 2023 11:23 pmI finally started to solve a puzzle I'd set up for myself in my Edge of Midnight project tonight. I'll try to share what I did tomorrow at some point.
For a sense of what I've been doing:

It's fun, digging through HYGMap, SIMBAD, Memory Alpha, Memory Beta, and a few other sites as well for this stuff.

Maps: Updating the "Short Air Hops" Map
Mar. 26th, 2023 09:16 amDoes anyone remember any scheduled short-run connections that I should be adding to this one?
Yes, I'm switching over to Affinity Designer or Inkscape from Adobe CS4 from here onwards.

Portfolio Day
Oct. 11th, 2022 11:39 amGood thing that I have fresh(er) material to roll out on Twitter today!

Yes, you've seen those here and on Flickr and/or DeviantArt. There's places where those services' audiences don't overlap, right?

Digital Sketch Challenge Sketch 3 - Bat
Oct. 6th, 2022 10:57 pmOf course, I'm going to draw that guy for this prompt. I did co-write a travel guide about his hometown back in 2000.
Sketch # 2 - Scurry
Oct. 4th, 2022 10:17 pmI've already given up on the idea of getting a sketch finished per day...and I still want to try for addressing every item in the Inktober prompt list for this year anyway.
Sketch # 2 - "Scurry"
This was the first thought I had for it.

Inktober as Inspiration, Not as Practice
Oct. 2nd, 2022 12:49 pmI needed to review these links:
https://inktober.com/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jake_Parker#Inktober
So, I can't claim to be participating fully, as I'm working digitally rather than with actual pens, fountain, cartridge, marker, ball-point and so on. I can and do claim this year's daily prompts as an inspiration to resume regular practice for self-improvement.
I'm going to have to amend my postings on Twitter and Facebook accordingly. Later today.

This is still a work in progress. I am not happy with legibiity of the place names, not yet. I've switched most of the labelling over to Helvetica for now, pending a decision on what to switch the labels to.
If you know of any communities and connections that I should add to this map, please tell me!

This is part of a map I've been designing with help from assets from Maptorian. I was inspired by a map in the old Dent's Canadian School Atlas devoted to Canadian airline connections across the country, as well as by a recent job interview for a graphic design position.
I'm making this with Adobe Illustrator CS4, in case you're wondering.

Art/Tech: Cintiq, Part 4
Mar. 15th, 2022 09:12 amGot started last night. Expecting to make time for more practice today.
(no subject)
Mar. 14th, 2022 11:21 pmDid some sketching with Cintiq and Affinity Photo today. Will post the work in progress tomorrow.
She's got some thoughts fit for sharing widely here:

Noting that my job search diary for 2021 has now reached 3700+ entries covering 150 pages and six and a half months. For some reason of statistics, that seems to matter right now.
