Hej!

 

Welcome to the longest bio on side7! Probably.

I'll fix something nicer for this presentation later. 

Introverted nerd making weird art that very few enjoy. But that is just how I roll. 

I have a background (12+ years) in technical 2d illustration, print products layouts and that sort of stuff. Designing vector lineart with call outs and write text for user manuals.

Yeah. Super intresting stuff. Hardly what you call "art" so I don't claim to understand what this "art" thing really is. No, I will not post any of that here.

 

If you found me here, I am friendly and supportive but not very talkative. In the beginning. I have worked with large scale projects, leadership and planning for a long time.

Putting some of that experience to use, I hope.

 

What difference does it matter what you own? You have gold and silver in the divine.

 


Oh! And I actually used to make music too. So maybe there will be some of that here aswell. 


Tools I use for art : Photoshop - PaintToolSai 2.x - Cinema4d w/ redshift - Zbrush - Marmoset ToolBag 4 - Marmoset ToolBag 5 beta - Paintbrush in Windows 3.x (yeah boi!) -  Wacom Intous (?) drawing tablet - Apophysis

Adobe boycott.

Nerd sh*t section

๐Ÿ’  AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12 core @ 3.70 stock

๐Ÿ’  64 gb "sorta good" RAM

๐Ÿ’  ASUS branded RTX 3090 with stupid RGB things that are just annoying *.*

As of 2024, it is hardly that much of a beast any longer. But it does the job.

3090 is a consumer "pro" GPU and it still keeps the steam up.

I don't need more capacity (as of now) and can spend a little longer rendering.

Cost for newer GPU's are absolutely insane and simply not worth the investment. Yet.

"Let's go to G*Mart!"

Ok.. so I've been sick for a few days. Not in the hiphopsdyle way. Ill. Also not in the hippityhopoty wayz. Not healthyful. Eh. You get it.
Not sick enough to be home from work (because money) but feeling crap enough to not do much of anything except for lazily watching random stuff on youtube when getting home. 
No worries - I did not cause anyone else to get sick. I have the type of job where I don't have to hang around with other people if I don't feel like it or really have to. So I didn't.

I transfer DXF, DWG and STP files between software packages to create isometric breakdowns and write super boring technical information and instructions for industrial application automotive parts and components. That is pretty much what I do (when stuff actually works the way they're supposed to..)
There is a lot more to it in the backend, but pretty much that is what I do for a living. So I can do stuff on my own working on a "not in a rush but some day it would be nice to complete" pile.

It is a lot more about writing (actually copy pasting) than putting labels and arrows around exploded views or whatever the resource given to me happens to be.
There is tonne of stuff that I could go on about but the job really is fascinating for a minute talking about it and then it becomes a tedium to do this for a living -- I can assure you it is not what you would call "cool".
I don't hate it though. I do get to be creative and it's challenging enough.
Funny enough, it doesn't involve any modelling what so ever. That means this art hobby sort of completes the full circle, I guess.

I already finished the holiday picture but since it is too early to post that one, I guess it will have to wait for a bit. I will work on other stuff in the mean time. One of those weekends are coming up, so I will post something like I use to.
