AzzyypaarasTeam02:51
Replying toKatieTunic is legit amazing
@Larry Cable Guy DAMMIT PIE, I DON'T CARE WHO YOU HYPTONIZE I AM NOT BUYING TUNIC
Katie02:52
what OS are you running?
AzzyypaarasTeam02:52
Me or solly?
Katie02:52
you 😂
AzzyypaarasTeam02:52
Oh
Well, for both of us it is Arch linux
Katie02:52
shame
I have like 20 gamepass trial codes lmao
AzzyypaarasTeam02:52
I am pretty sure the game would ru - oh
Where did you get so many
Katie02:53
everything gives them out lol
even got a few from fuckin ramen packets
shits crazy
AzzyypaarasTeam02:53
Now that is some aggressive marketing
Katie02:53
REAL aggressive
Jack PapelTeam02:53
Really? Man, I bought gamepass for several months. Wish I knew about the ramen
Katie02:53
works though, gamepass is insane
AzzyypaarasTeam02:54
Oh well, I still accept free nitro donations
Katie02:54
unfortunately the trials dont stack so you cant just live off trials 😭

Katie02:54
but yeah gamepass isnt a good enough reason to switch to Windows tho lmao
AzzyypaarasTeam02:55
Yeah
Shame it is a no fly, most things work pretty great
And with most things I mean factorio, tboi, and tf2 since it is pretty much the only stuff I play nowadays
Katie02:56
lol
Ive just had my first exposure to gaming on Linux this week after my Steam deck arrived
obviously its mostly just
using the windows versions of shit anyway
but ye
AzzyypaarasTeam02:57
Proton do be bussin doe
Katie02:57
still interesting to go back to Linux after so many years
Proton is kinda insane lately lmao
the compatibility has shot up in the last 6 months 😂
AzzyypaarasTeam02:58
Well it does make sense, if you are going to launch a portable console that runs on linux you are going to want everything to work
Good stuff for me
AzzyypaarasTeam02:58
Replying toKatiestill interesting to go back to Linux after so many years
Oh, you used to use it?
Katie02:59
only back when I was studying computer science like 8-9 years ago
wasn't a fan 😂 but it was useful for the server stuff we worked on
AzzyypaarasTeam02:59
Oz deep lore?!
Katie03:00
😂 yeah I ended up studying quite high academic stuff back in school
was planning on going into cybernetics and prosthetics as a career
so did physics, biology, mathematics and computer science
didn't go so well cos Im thick as shit
though this was after I was put off art education (my original planned career path)
which I ended up coming back to cos it obviously suits me way better
AzzyypaarasTeam03:01
Replying toKatiedidn't go so well cos Im thick as shit
I am going to take this in the obviously intended way
Katie03:02
both apply but only one version is actually relevant lmao
AzzyypaarasTeam03:02
Going from sciences to art is a mood
I am not sure if I've told before, but I was originally going to study comp sci
I ended up deciding to switch over to illustration right before starting cool leg
I think it was the right choice, though it is of course early to tell; programming is nice and I am quite a lot better at it than what jokes I make may indicate, but there is a certain joy in creation that I can't quite find elsewhere.
Katie03:04
see Ive just flip flopped between over the years 😄 I started with academia but ended up doing best in the arts, then switched to science and tech after my art teachers were assholes, then switched back after I flunked out of the science stuff hard (wasn't really my fault our school was going through some shit and almost all of us failed) then did art for two years before pivoting to media and tech again for my final year of college
😂
I also did critical thinking, creative writing and literature study in between somewhere
AzzyypaarasTeam03:04
Truly, you were as close to the stereotypical college student as one can get in that regard
Katie03:06
I also didnt get any real qualifications out of any of it because I had disability related difficulties during my exam period in my final year
AzzyypaarasTeam03:06
ouch
Katie03:06
which I ended up not really bothering following up on cos my tutors assured me I could get in anywhere with my portfolio
but yeah at that point everything I was going through was undiagnosed so I was basically going through a massive amount of injuries and fatigue and just being like "man I feel tired all the time"
😂
AzzyypaarasTeam03:08
Honestly, I think one of the bigger draws of the arts for me is the fact that you are judged much more by your actual skill and previous works than some piece of paper. Gods know that I've become progressively worse at keeping up with academia over the years...
Katie03:08
see thats actually a point where I kinda fell off the art education stuff
cos it did feel more like box ticking than actual like
skill development
I did my final project on cyberpunk and transhumanism and did this fuckin rad 3D poster piece for it
and my tutors just didn't get it at all? so I didn't do particularly well
oh shit yeah its like right next to me I can show it lol
AzzyypaarasTeam03:09
👀
Katie03:09
its seen better days
was under my ex-girlfriend's staircase for 5 or so years lmao
but yeah I put a bunch of research into like
transhumanism as a concept and how it influences art
and shit
AzzyypaarasTeam03:10
Replying toKatiean attachment
My, that is gorgeous
Katie03:10
and they were just like "this is what you usually do, I don't get it"
then when I switched to media I showed it off and they were all like "YO THATS AWESOME" and all understood the meaning and influences and shit
was wild how different it was
lmao
AzzyypaarasTeam03:11
smol arm, though
Katie03:11
yeah I fuckin
ran out of board
lmao
AzzyypaarasTeam03:11
mood
Katie03:11
and they didn't have any more for another week
so I had to make the arm with like
1/3 of the material I planned
😭
every time I look at it Im like "fuck that arm is so short god damn it"
the other forearm is the same but because the bicep was longer it doesnt look as strange
AzzyypaarasTeam03:12
I will admit, and this may be a bit silly given my previous comments on your work, but you have become quite the inspiration for me.
Seeing your artwork really does make me want to improve and refine my stuff.
Katie03:13
lol that's cool 😄 I hope my work can inspire others like the artists that inspired me did
it is funny though as soon as you have like
the names of 3 artists I like
you can instantly deconstruct most of my work into just
their work mashed together
AzzyypaarasTeam03:14
Tbf, you can say that about pretty much all artists
Katie03:14
oh for sure, but yeah for me its like
AzzyypaarasTeam03:14
A bad artist steals, a good artist steals with style
Katie03:14
a lot of kids say my art style is very unique
like they find it quite striking, which is cool
I like that
but it is just because Ive got a mix of quite weird inspirations
lmao
two biggest inspirations being Joe Mad (Marvel comics, Darksiders games, cool shit) and Yoji Shinkawa (long time collaborator with Hideo Kojima for Metal Gear, Zone of the Enders, Death Stranding)
those two artists' illustration work is like the backbone of how I approach 2D art
AzzyypaarasTeam03:16
Again, big mood. You could probably trace back my current style to a whole bunch of things.
You could probably fish out bits of adventure time which... I am not entirely sure who you would attribute that style to, notyoursagittarius which @cr24 can tell you about, and a handful of nsfw artists which should not be surprising given my title as local artist.
+ a sprinkling of funkiness from the fact that I use a very specific set of brushes on my art
Which is to say I use shale brush for literally everything if you know it
richieb13518:51
Is it possible for us on forge to get a port? I would love to have this in my pack
Jack PapelTeam18:53
Unfortunately not, but GildedGames is working on a forge version of The Aether(edited)
See #unknown for a link to their discord
richieb13518:54
Ok
Thanks
