Finally done with the fullbodies for all three of these characters for a new project! I’ve been working on these designs for the last couple of months, and I’m super fond of them and excited to write more about them 💚

kind of fun that pain is star shaped

I'm sure the building inspectors will approve my design once they finally manage to escape.

Log Cabin [Explained]

Transcript Under the Cut

[The floorplan of a log cabin, with a fullsize layout on the left, while on the right is a sequence of increasingly smaller versions of the same layout, like a golden rectangle.]

I ordered some yarn for a weaving project (I don't have enough hand spun)

And I could not refuse some very delicious neon roving 5x 20g (yellow, orange, pink, blue, green)

I see some fractal spinning in my Future!!

Women aren't usually my cup of tea BUT Goddam!! Look at the CURVES on julia!💘😩🤭

GOD she so mathematically intirciate I'm DROOLING 🤤 😋 😩 😫

Just look what she's got hidden under there ❤️

Hnnnn you can rotate her in SIX diffrent dimensions she Is just so Flexible 😉 😜 😘 😉 😜 😘

Ohh my god QUEEN you contain the mathematical beauty of the universe in you

Is it just me or is it getting hot in here!!

I need her too step on me so bad

necrotech99, an interactive quest, is now live! exact content warnings pending, but necrotech99 is 18+ and will likely contain nsfw and gore/body horror.

FAQ/quest primer for new readers below cut!

Q. ira this website fucking looks like 4chan A. yeah i know i'm sorry. it's not Q. okay so what is this A. it's a quest, which is kind of like an interactive webcomic, or like a forum game, or like a tabletop roleplay where everyone is controlling one character (at a time), or maybe like something completely different from that Q. how do i play? A. leave suggestions in the thread to help collectively guide the story with your fellow readers! suggestions are posted using this input field at the top of the thread page:

and, a final note on a quality of life thing that isn't very intuitive: all the quest's panels can be expanded to full size by either clicking "expand all images" at the top of the thread, or individually by clicking the blue .png hyperlink above each image, NOT clicking the images themselves (which just opens the images in a new tab for some reason)

You can generate Sierpiński carpet (the 2D analog of Menger sponge) at home! I started with addition modulo 3 and some conditional formatting in Excel.

I left the modulus configurable. Powers of 2 produce simple tessellations instead of fractals, so the first viable fractal is A1=3. Here’s the modulus 3 image at 729x729 resolution:

This is the standard sierpinski carpet. But starting with modulus 5, higher primes are going to give us some trippy Menger-analogs with intricate self-similar geometry. Let’s dive in:

Modulus 5

Modulus 7

Not all composite numbers are duds! Mod 9 is beautiful with its single order 3 subgroup.

But Mod 15 is not so much a fractal as a self-similar glitch. The subgroups of order 3 and 5 are all jumbled together!

Modulus 17

Modulus 19

Modulus 23

Modulus 29 with 707281 cells. (That’s 29 to the fourth power!) And that’s the limit, because Excel is running garbage collection nonstop trying to compute any more of the image. Excel 2010 was limited to 2GB of ram and we are out. I call this collection of renders “seafloor”.

Monitoring - DECO*27 but make it Mr. Scarletella ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

[angelsndragons]

if you want to understand why i say veilguard is extremely tightly written and full of parallels, fractals, and foils which zero in on the themes of generational trauma, grief, and escaping cycles, look no further than the pre-title screen tutorial:

not only is it nearly beat for beat the inquisition pre-title tutorial (cutscene to establish the protag's personality, meet the "advisors", a giant hole in the sky spewing demons, gather your first companions, fight through a demon infested landscape to reach a temple where a ritual is/was being enacted that would destroy the world, first big boss is a pride demon)

but right there, in the first ~thirty minutes of the game, rook becomes solas the rebel wolf and solas becomes elgar'nan the cruel. solas stabs varric (like mythal was stabbed by elgar'nan) after varric only tried to talk to solas, to reason with him, as mythal tried to reason with elgar'nan.

not for nothing is rook varric's second as solas was once mythal's. and not for nothing does solas keep the full realization from rook.

It's not that her sword is black, more that it cooks most optical sensors.
