I love making the stream schedule images even if the schedule barely changes. it's a lovely creative process and no matter how tedious I still find it fun learning new things with the character studio and my image editing software.

My New Keyboard: The Toshiba 67-Key Modular POS LCD keyboard

here's my new keyboard: the Toshiba 67-Key Modular POS keyboard!

I spent this weekend setting up a layout for it using the Toshiba Modular Device Utility v1.0.36 from Sharktastica's site, and designing a set of legends for it to print on my Epson TM-U675 Multifunctional POS printer!

Some interesting (for me) things to consider regarding the designs of these legends:

I knew I'd be printing these on my epson TM-U675 using the roll paper, so while I got to leverage my extant libraries for interacting with my printer for pixel-perfect print control, I also was limited to 225 pixels per line*!

Since we only have 225 pixels for 3.25" of print area, all of the single height keys are 29px tall, whereas double height are 81px. As for width, the squares are 29px wide and all others are 49px wide.

Because of the ink ribbon cartridge I have, they're fuckin Ourple

* Technically the TM-U675 lets you print in double width mode for up to 450 pixels per line, however it only has a double density mode for width and I did not want to design these with non 1:1 pixel aspect ratios. Maybe next time!

I've actually had this keyboard for a month or so now - I bought myself a clamp to mount this on my desk to use with my main desktop as a macro pad, but found it was too big for the clamp! As a result, it's kinda been floating around my room waiting for me to find a use for it. As luck would have it, I'm trying to learn how to draw and was starting to have frustrations with not having a keyboard under my hands but also not wanting too much between me and my drawing - an ample opportunity for a project!

However, try as I might, I cannot get much control over the LCD: it just says OK! I feel that with the Toshiba UPOS drivers I could do so much more, and could even use the GNU Image Manipulation Program's scripting interface to write status messages for the editor to it, but alas - Toshiba limits access to those resources to those with an Enterprise ID, which I do not have. Locked out of paradise.

Anyway, never give up - enjoy playing with all the weird technology you ever find forever and sometimes you might even find a single practical use for them 😌

In light of recent events, I'd like to recommend Photoshop alternatives for current Adobe users. Photopea is an in-browser recreation of Photoshop, and it's free! If you're familiar with Photoshop's UI this will be easy to get used to. It's somewhat less refined than PS but it's a surprisingly competent replacement.

Clip Studio Paint Pro is an excellent program for all kinds of digital art, with a one-time perpetual license for Windows and Mac for about $20-25 when it's on sale, so it's worth waiting for Black Friday or holidays. (Any mobile options for CSP are subscription only and they stink.)

GIMP is a powerful photo editor that is completely free and open-source! It works on Windows, GNU/Linux, and MacOs. Its UI can be a bit difficult to work with at first, but if you're looking for a PS replacement, GIMP is PS without the AI.

Hopefully this helps artists who want to keep the rights to their work, at least until Adobe gets their crap together.

W.I.P.

(blender screenshots)

textures are work in progress, the rings i plan to remake entirely

wasn't sure what to do with the UVs for a long time

and still am not

wireframes

the rings say stuff

planning on remaking the ring texture entirely, i'm very aware of the fact that it doesn't loop and is hard to read.

I started drawing this the day before yesterday in GIMP. Today I finished it and made a dimple effect by adding a "shaped" gradient to the black outlines and applying the emboss filter on top of that.

… i’m pretty certain that the related splash screen would get me on some watchlist, so i’d rather not
