Some random doodles I'm inspired to make, mixed in with some tech related ideas.

Unicode Woes

For those times when you have no idea what type of string you received are, and what encoding scheme it’s encoded in. Just turn the damn thing into utf-8 unicode.

Megaman!

I’m currently home in CA and after lamenting the lack of a clean working environment, went on a cleaning spree. Mid way through I found a stash of old elementary school drawings. Apparently I’d made a 4-part Megaman comic! The first was called “mega man the ultra battle comic”. There’s SO MUCH ACTION even in the first page!!!

More Canvases

Yetis also participate in snow activities.

Megaman also has a brother, so I made him.

Finally, L also participated, and made a present for her sister.

Some mild lessons learned:

1) When using acrylics, it often takes several coatings before the bottom layer (e.g., pen sketches) can be completely covered up. For this, a blow dryer is invaluable.
2) Detailed work is hard. Acrylic screws up even synthetic brushed fairly quickly, and when it’s starting to dry it’s really hard to make clean lines. I haven’t found a good solution to that, although I’m going to try using a toothpick for details next time.
