Harbor Town

Rendered in DAZ Studio, postwork in RapidRaw and Krita (and others, for example I use Paint.NET as a host software for my paid Photoshop plugins).

Lila's Shirt
For a upcoming Blog Post, I choose to take advantage of an old Freebie from an old DAZ Studio's April Fools event. That not being shown at this time.. but I need to update Lila's Tshirt for this image, and when you find what the freebie was then you'll know why I had to make this shirt!

#WritersCoffeeClub 3/30. What got in the way of your writing this month?

[Waves hand at everything]

No, I actually did get some writing in this month which I wasn't expecting (about 1000 words for a story I wasn't expecting to write), but mostly I've been working on my websites and slowly moving my books out of KU.

I had planned to do some more writing this weekend but then discovered a bug in my deployment code which took hours to nail down.

Experiment 4

She finally fought back.

Postwork in #Krita (I mention this because so far I used Photoshop)

Well, what can I say? Yes, I still maintain a FB account but I engage only with other writers (a little), and belong to the "Artists Against Generative AI" group.

People post a lot of original art there - some are expert while many are just starting, but people always get lots of encouragement.

Which is nice.

Anyway I posted this image to that group and the crowd went wild. A clear demonstration of the FB algorithm, once it started winning it's just being put in front of *everyone*.

I hadn't done any alt text for it on FB, but now i'm going to have to. 🙃

If only I'd posted a link to my books.

"AI Music"

Revisiting an older render.

I want to get away from Photoshop, that I used for over 20 years, so my muscle memory and workflows are tied to it very much. Things I do in Photoshop in seconds take me minutes in other software. In addition I have some paid plugins that I want to still use in the future. I was suggested GIMP multiple times, but I cannot use GIMP, I tried it again and again for many, many years and I get aggressive after seconds using it. I think after all these years the UX is still horrible (ymmv). But I like Krita.

So: I first open the rendered image in RapidRAW as a replacement for Camera Raw to make basic postwork, that works great. Then I open the image in Krita and use some of the tools there. I installed a Krita plugin that is able to open a Krita layer in an external application. I Installed my Photoshop Plugins in Affinity 3. I do not want to use Affinity 3 itself extensively, because of Canva and their fishy licenses and AI bullshit. But as a plugin proxy I think it's okay. So I do the changes I want in Alien Skin Exposure X2, save the image and close Affinity, which brings the image back to Krita as a new layer. Great!

That is close to my Photoshop workflow without too much relearning, nearly as fast and in addition I found some very nifty features in Krita that I do not have in Photoshop.

So it may be possible for me to ditch Photoshop at last.

Just clocked in. I think I'm lost. 🏢☁️

Taking a detour into some liminal space aesthetics this time. I built this endless corporate purgatory to experiment with surrealism and scale. There is something deeply unsettling about perfectly repeating beige cubicles stretching out to the horizon under an artificial, grid-like sky.
