‘Draw me like one of your Tulpas’ she says. But I can’t draw, I just do high-tech tracing. This was a Patreon exclusive, but they had their chance. Here is a look at how I ‘draw’ new characters. (My PC was being buggy that day, so it took longer than expected)

Well, after they let a bunch sneak in over here, we’ll start seeing Talibantifa at all of the protests.
Sneak in? Hell, the welcome mat seems to be spread pretty wide down south.
Horrifying things happen in other countries. Horrifying things happen in America.
Amazing how little it took, idinit?
Remember when a man named Aaron ‘Jay Bishop’ Danielson was hunted down and murdered execution style by Ant**a and then the shooter died in a “shootout” with the feds? Tie up all loose ends. That just occurred to me because, you know, people being murdered by mobs of fanatical extremists. The Taliban aren’t screaming provo-prop sociopaths, though, they’re hardcore terrorists. There’s a very important distinction.
Hardcore terrorists or savage religious nationalists?
Yeah, I wonder about that too. From my extremely limited rememberings, they just harbor terrorists.
savage religious nationalists
Who provided aid and comfort to the terrorists that attacked the US two decades ago.
And if we had turned Afghanistan into a glass parking lot twenty years ago, it would have been justified. If they threaten the US or aid those who will or have attacked us, make it rain hell on them.
The Taliban are savage and cruel and not our responsibility. We do have a responsibility, imo, to those who aided us and our own citizens. All of which should be speedily removed from there if they wish to do so.
One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.
The founders werent throwing gays off Indepenence Hall or trying to overthrow King Louis.
Some terrorists are simply terrorists and some freedom fighters are simply freedom fighters.
My point is that it’s not up to us to decide that those guys aren’t freedom fighters to their own people. It doesn’t matter what we think. It matters what they think.
Every villain is the hero of his own story.

Why repeat yourself?
It hardly counts as repetition if the first part is implied by the second. More like foreshadowing?

That was a bit more tame than I was expecting.
Something something polishing hardwood.
That looks like a lot of fun! I really want to give it a try now.
The animation part has to be harder than it looks, but it obviously takes a lot of care just to draw up the basis of the character in the first place.
Heh, I had the opposite reaction. It looks like soul-crushing tedium to me. But I appreciate his effort!
Why can’t you both be right? Soothing repetition for an autist, yet an incredible amount of work to produce the final result.
Yeah, I do lots of stuff for a living that would be soul-crushing tedium to many. But it’s in my wheelhouse.
I made a logo for my 1st shop in Paintshop pro. It took me all week. I had shitty pointing devices and equipment, though. And, I had to learn as I did it. I still have one shirt left from that batch.
I’ve done a few different projects in GIMP over the years. Everything from cleaning up poorly scanned documents to touching up photographs to making assets for a website. I’ve never gotten very good at it, at least not good enough to make a living, but I did all the announcements and programs for my wedding and my wife is still married to me, so I can’t suck too badly.
I did mine in 1999. The mouse I used sucked badly. Pointing devices really help a bunch. Later, I got a high quality trackball and it was way easier.
I did a couple custom desktop backgrounds which involved plopping a digit on each one – that’s the extent of my GIMP-fu.
I like vector graphics a lot more.
You know Inkscape gud! That would’ve taken me an entire day. Thanks for sharing. Very cool

It looked like Jesse Ventura to me.
I wasn’t certain until I saw “Jesse” blink by in one of the file open dialogs.
He got old.
Well, it’s hard to govern a whole state, when the government is hiding evidence of ancient alien invasions all over the place. And Bigfoot, too.

I’m really impressed, CP. You make it look so easy. Folks like me don’t realize there are tools out there that allow that to happen. I’m still in the old school where an 8 minute animated cartoon was drawn frame-by-frame with several different animators and took weeks or months to make.
Thanks for clearing this up but I’m still impressed.
How the rotoscope sausage is made. Very nice CPRM! And no flashing to tentacle porn desktop in the middle. Great work!
He was doing research!
That’s a lot of work, CPRM! Thank you. But Jesse Ventura? Srsly?
Best Minnesota Guv in my lifetime!
Jesse “THE MIND” Ventura now. He knows things.
He is off his nut. Full blown alien conspiracy theorist. I had the joy of sitting behind him in First Class on a flight to DC once (after his term was up and he was living in Mexico).
Dude is all-in Paranoid.
I once stored the sea kayak I was borrowing at his house in Mexico (he wasn’t there at the time and the caretaker of the house we were renting also watched his house). His house there is in a pretty damn remote location. It is about an hour drive on a dirt road to the nearest store or anything really. He may have seen the aliens land somewhere around there.
I was on an Amtrak train to Washington D.C. once and these two guys in front of me were arguing whose profession was oldest. The one, a minister, claimed his was older because God ministered to Adam and Eve from the beginning. The other, an engineer, argued that his procession was older because God used engineering principles to create the earth out of the chaos. Suddenly, Senator Biden leaned across the aisle and said “And who do you think created the chaos?”
I bought something.
I’ve got it installed alongside my air-cooled Skylake era i5 and cherry-red sticks of 2133 RAM while I mull over the parts list of my future build. Like a big lift kit on a Ford Escort.
Nerd.
I’m glad I’m not THAT into gaming. Easier on the wallet. (Looking at the 3060 for my next PC. Supposed to be the better bang for the buck.)
I figure if I amortize it across the several years it’ll be excellent to at least decent… and then divide that by months… and again by days… it’s hardly anything at all. Like feeding orphan children in the Congo.
Actually, I’d settle for anything really. My current card – GTX 950M – is so weak it’s not even on the list. Plus it’s mobile which means I have two GPU’s and Windows is so stupid it often tries to play my games on the even weaker Intel integrated graphics.
I’m not a hard-core gamer but I’m at the point where even casual games released in current year struggle.
Very cool!
What joy you have brought to a Wed evening – I sing the Simon in Chalkboard Land song all the time – home for sick-days with Captain K were the best.
The neck part was kinda creepy until I figured out what was going on. A new appreciation for animators.
Inktastic.
That is more than a little enraging.
Just went through the trial-by-fire of buying a new printer. Settled on Brother, which isn’t great about their ink, but not as bad as HP. My fight with the HP (new old stock) was crazy-making.
*starts to say something*
*bites tongue*
Nah, I can’t. I’d dox myself way too thoroughly. Let’s just say that I may know some of the people who drive the IP strategy on the ink.
Next strategy meeting, please be sure to give them this from me
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Nah, I don’t work at HP. The relationship is somewhat less direct than that, but not by too much.
We just bought one a couple weeks ago and settled on Epson. Dodged a bullet I guess. (I hope) The last Epson we had (a couple printers ago) would shut you down if you ran out of any color. Couldn’t even print with just black if cyan was empty. But it had great print quality and really good scanning features.
I have a Canon color laser that forces you to click through a screen to print after the cartridges age out. Never mind that they’re all 60% full, “parts beyond lifetime” throws an irreconcilable error that must be resolved by pushing a physical button on the device.
Yes, my son bought a cheap Epson just to scan things and was quite shocked when it wouldn’t work at all if it had no ink.
I have bought knock-off ink for years, but I’m convinced that was what broke my HP (forced an update), so they got me. No more knock-off ink, but at least I don’t have to buy HP’s.
I had to do tech repair for mom, which involved scanning paperwork on the combo printer scanner she’d bought recently… I couldn’t get the damned thing to scan. Kept failing. Finally googled the model and found out it needs security permissions set on the host pc because it scans to its proprietary internet-based document imaging service. Can’t just drop it on the desktop as a tiff of whatever.
You people still print at home? Your office doesn’t have a printer?
Damn, factoring in the gas and time, the cost per page of printing is worse than just buying a brand new printer when the included ink cartridge runs out.
You still have an office? I threw my last printer against a wall, a great feeling…..
Yusef Bolton
Yes, my office has a printer.
What’s an office?
I had to buy a printer when I was canned from my previous job and had to fax a signed contract to them. I guess I could have used Kinkos or something but I figured I would have some other use for the thing. Got a wireless Canon for like fifty bucks. Haven’t used it since.
faxemailOK. But my mini-rant-question below still stands.
What is up with businesses still using faxes? I mean, it’s current fucking year for Christ’s sake.
Seriously, tough…WTF? Is it actually more secure than an encrypted email? I just don’t get it.
I haven’t had to send a fax in nearly a decade. ??♂️
OK. Fair enough…I don’t know that I’ve had to for some time, either. I guess I had flashback or something.
But still, why faxing is even still a thing is just something I can’t comprehend.
Plain vanilla Fax is a circuit-switched telephony connection that is protected by existing wire-tapping laws and results in a shitty, but “exact” facsimile of the source document.
So, yes, many “legal” documents must still be transmitted by fax instead of email.
Inertia.
Inertia is a helluva drug.
But if I’m faxing it from my scanner over VOIP (or whatever) doesn’t that negate the telephony security part?
But if I’m faxing it from my scanner over VOIP (or whatever) doesn’t that negate the telephony security part?
Yes.
Roughly 20 years ago, I was working on a video surveillance system. The courts had finally allowed .jpeg files to be considered evidence in courts because it could be determined whether or not a file had been tampered with. At the same time, the courts were not accepting compressed .mpeg files. So the surveillance system captured “motion jpeg” files which were basically snap shots every second. It gave really shitty “movies”, but it was legally admissible in court. Because it was just a collection of .jpeg files.
I suspect that Fax persists because there is a legal basis for what defines admissible evidence regarding “copies” of originals.
Clearly, one can create much better security with encrypted documents and VPNs. But I suspect some businesses (like banks) still rely on the old technology for copying and transmitted legal facsimiles of important documents.
My old company was like that. We were always five years at least behind in any tech. New corp (which bought old corp) is much more aggressively up-to-date.
Thanks kinnath!
Well, okay, you have convinced me to give Inkscape another go.
Damn skeeter got in the house while was napping, ouch my leg! Fuckers give me hives!
Now that we know Trump was setting a booby trap for Biden in Afghanistan, start pulling that thread. If you were out to sabotage Biden, think of every step, every move you’d make, and then understand that’s what Trump did. Trump, Pompeo, Putin are enemies of America.
I believe it, except Trump is Mr. Magoo, not Machiavelli.
I think what really happened is that Putin threatened to release another Hunter laptop unless he pulled out of Afghanistan.
“unless he pulled out of Afghanistan.” Hunter? or Biden?
I don’t think Hunter has ever pulled out.
His sister in-law can confirm
Never pull out of crazy. Did I get that right?

I’ll make sure to read some passages tomorrow in remembrance of those two, and the others who fought so gallantly at Ia Drang.
I have no new updates on my friend since she went on the vent. The only point of contact is her son, whom we don’t know and don’t have contact information for, and her bishop, who apparently can’t be arsed to tell us anything. The only thing the hospital would say was a hesitant “stable”. The tone of voice did not sound good.
Ugh. Hoping for the best.
#metoo
My hospital room buddy during my colon blowout stay last year had just recovered from fifty-something days on the vent. This was in May when I didn’t know enough to not be terrified of that.
Dude was in a bad way but by my third day when I left he seemed to be improving.
Hoping treatment is much better nowadays.
Was it something like this?

A few hours ago I had the easiest, completely voluntarily, perfectly legal grift idea of a lifetime pop up in my brain. The biggest catch is that in order for it to work I’d need a legally binding agreement from a foreign nation’s legitimate government. It would also need to go viral via a fundraising site.
But if it did due to appealing to the right demographic…oh boy, howdy…even at a 45:1 ratio for said nation I’d be pig happily awash on shit.

That was cool to watch and see how her skills and perceptions of what she wants to draw changed in 10 years.

Saw him in Predator and fell in love. From a distance, he appeared to be a good governor.
Now that men can get pregnant, does he have time to bleed?
Top notch, sir.
Jesse won the gubernatorial race during a town hall in which a lady stood up and said “I’m a single mom with two kids. What are you going to do for me?”
Jesse replied with zero hesitation “Lady, I didn’t get you pregnant.”
Boom. Mic drop moment. He won.

They’re going to send kids who refuse to mask-up home? I would have personally loved that. I learned better outside school on my own. My grades went up in high school when I just started skipping classes and doing the work on my own. Saved me time, too. Got through about half a year before anyone even caught on.
Yeah, and yank the licenses of teachers.
The fuckers are already trying to sandbag the school boards and public with FUD. If they refuse to comply, then their liability insurance will be cancelled and soon.

Unbelievable. Holy shit has the Catholic Church gone into the shitter, further into the shitter I mean. That’s just pathetic and doesn’t the vaccine or the process that developed it use some kind of fetal whatever? How do they square that circle?
Shocked, I am. After all, his is the same Church which locked its’ doors back in 2020, denying the Eucharist to the faithful. The Eucharist is merely the central ritual of Catholicism. Ask me why I left the Church and won’t be returning.
Toss the Pope and put Mel Gibson in charge. It’s no wonder Islam has been ascendant, they actually seem to believe in what they preach and if a religion doesn’t have that they have nothing.
If only it were that simple. The Church hierarchy is much like the deep state, but even better; since the Pope is chosen by the College of Cardinals, there is no way an outsider like OMB or Mel could be elected. And if by some fortunate accident this were to occur, look what happened to Benedict.
Christianity is founded on the personal relationship with the Jesus Christ, unless we say it isn’t. We decide if your faith is deeply held or not. Fuck off and make sure little Tommy wears those skinny jeans next Mass.
I assume this decision comes from the top?
Mornin’. Nothing like being awakened at 4:15 AM by a tornado warning. Tuned out to be a big nothing, the really intense stuff was about 5 miles north of us. Oh well. Sleep, like democracy, is overrated.
Yikes. Glad it was north of you. I got woken up an extra 30 minutes before my alarm because I guess my phone took a dive on a OTA update last night and wifey set hers to what she thought I had to get up to. No biggie. Allowed me to take my time with my work in the office rather than my normal knock it out.
Hmm. Wifey set the alarm a half hour early? I wonder what she had in mind ?
well I did say allowed me to take my time with my work in the office rather than my normal knock it out.
Turn off the alerts and rely on luck. You’ll be fine (probably).
That’s one of the things OK was really good at. They’d tell you EXACTLY where the tornado was, and tell you the house numbers that were in its path.
They need to be good, out there you get EF3-EF5 tornadoes, we get EF0-EF1, not usually deadly.
Okies and tornados where like Calies and earthquakes. Wake me up when its above a 6.5 or an EF3
