joker-startwithnothing

The Raspberry Pi 3 with official 7 inch tft is working. After my last laptop died I decided to put it back together and it worked. I don’t plan on moving it - the ribbon is quite dodgy. But at least I can hold up on getting a new laptop.

Here’s recent artwork - mostly from Joker and Ludum Dare.

startwithnothing

Start with Nothing was the theme for the recent Ludum Dare. I didn’t have a hackathon on during this time so I decided to draw concept art - both pen and digital drawing. I even opened Blender on the Raspberry Pi 3 and created a model. I didn’t take it into Unity3d. But it was something.

I drew this well watching Castlevaina. References to religion, vampires, church etc.

Since both my Pi screens are currently not working I have decided to use a laptop to create artwork. It has been many years since I have done this. I am also recording the drawing and uploaded the footage to YouTube. This is something I use to do also but stopped when I started drawing on the Pi.

Here is some artwork, mostly from refernce on RedditGetsDrawn. The video for the RGD portraits is on YouTube: RGD Sept Mid
