@wolf480pl - Yeah! Once I got the slopes visualized, was a matter of trying to repeatedly practice those slopes, *then* work on the finer details (like the thick eyelash frame, other eyelashes, etc).

@wolf480pl - Yeah, it is. I was drawing that on top of the reference to get a better idea of how the eye shape was constructed.

I spent Halloween uh... practicing drawing Neuvilette's eyes. First two attempts were without a reference image. Then I realized I did it wrong and drew 16 more eyes to compensate for the mistake. I GOT TIRED. Happy w/final result, though.

#gamedev #selfhosting - Spent some time tinkering on my personal site to add a subdomain to put random games up for playing. That SHOULD make it easier to show my random #Godot experiments here and there... and eventually some games in the future.

@autiomaa - Yeah, I was talking to my bro earlier when designing the domain for my game club server and he was like, ".xyz looks fishy as heck". Didn't know why until I did some research and went, "Welp, I definitely need to rebrand my personal self-hosted profile at this rate. Otherwise no one's going to see the work I did!"

@autiomaa - Yeah, that's true. Maybe I just need to spend some time combing TLDs to see which one would fit for both of current domains I want to group into a new domain name.

@autiomaa - Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I just can't think of a good domain name concept that'd work for both personal projects and "Hey here's a profile of myself".

The only thing I can think of is something that screams, "Hey, I am a studio!"

...But that might also seem self-aggrandizing.

At the same time, my current web host for more public facing projects for webdev is a smattering of "here's public facing stuff" and "here's stuff I run for me when away". I'm not sure if I should separate those out into another domain name (like I'm doing atm) vs the art projects.

Finally, I realized during my homelab experiments I thought a lot more carefully about the branding of its TLD before setting it up for my friend group and how I'd structure the URLs. I knew it was a friend group, so I picked a TLD that sounded like, "Hey this is a club thing."

On the other hand, the current TLD for my single page profile, I realized, was a bit uh... cursed? See this for more information.
