Interesting. I am here over a year, but never really had my #introduction . So here goes:
Hi! I am nek0, or Rys Ostrovid if you like. I'm a mostly self-taught #haskell #hacker. But I do also other stuff apart from programming, like music, writing, photography and other art. You may see more on my blog https://nek0.eu .
See ya! 😸

Oh, and for those not aware: I have a portfolio page set up with more at https://art.nek0.eu.
Crafted only with the finest of lambdas and serving RSS and Atom feeds.

Yesterday I passed a milestone. I passed my final oral exam of my apprenticeship, so now I am an formally qualified IT specialist for applications development.
I am happy and relieved to a certain extent, but mostly i feel ... empty.

Heya! I bear news from my #gamedev project 'Pituicat'. I have been working on interactable objects and have a partial result. See more on my blog: https://nek0.eu/posts/2021-07-25-Bumping-things-up.html

I finished the #drawing of my latest #art post. I took this over a year old motive and made a new spin on it. I hope you like it as much as I do.

I'm on vacation, which means I have more time for #art. Tonight I had the idea of redoing one of my older drawings, which is over a year old. Doesn't seem like a long time, but a lot has happened on the way and I learned a lot, not only in regards of art but also about myself.

Recently I was wondering how a skull of one of my characters would look like and started to do some studies, which finally culminated in this #drawing.

In case you are wondering what I'm doing #art wise lately: I'm doing #studies, specifically skulls for my characters. Hands will be mixed in soon. Here's one of my most recent skull experiments.

A new #blog post is online, This time about how to set up your XP-Pen tablet properly in #NixOS. Head over to https://nek0.eu/posts/2021-06-27-Hacking-my-XP-Pen-drawing-tablets.html if you are interested.
Great and many thanks to @davidrevoy for his review and tutorial my post is based on.

Another #art update on my latest #drawing: I'm finished! I hope you like the result as much as I do.

Since stress levels are slowly decreasing, I am able to do more #art. Here's an update on my latest #drawing as I progress through making the background and finally tackling the foreground.
