Voltorb pin cushion<p> Ive had a rough year, residence-wise, & have had to hiatus all my creative stuff, which in turn really bummed me out & made it harder & harder to get back into it.</p><p> Sort of compounded with the lack of interest in something i worked super hard on, ive been scraping motivation from the walls of my well to reignite my engine.</p><p> I mused about what would stimulate my interest the most, & thats usually learning something new that i can geek out on, ideally something that would contribute to my permanent bag of skills.</p><p> I recently was able to secure a hopefully more permanent place to live at least for a few years or more. I wanted to make the place a little cozier since the only non-essentials i lug around with me when i move are my old paintings, my tools of the trade, & some pieces of furniture. </p><p> I had never gotten around to getting pillows for my secondhand couch, & wanted to treat myself. I had this idea that i really wanted a Gengar pillow. There were some available online that werent great, or just could have been better if they werent designed to be commodities. </p><p> As i dug a little deeper, i started seeing other more detailed versions they called plushies, then i found other pokemon characters & other homemade plushies that were really impressive, but i still couldnt find a Gengar that looked the way i thought it should look.</p><p> It was then that i thought, why dont i just friggin make my own?? </p><p> I started reading about plush making. I already owned a cheap sewing machine for some ripped clothes i never got around to mending. Then i realized this could be that new thing to geek out on ive been waiting for.</p><p> I researched everything i thought i needed to know, then the other stuff i didnt know i needed to research, then what supplies i needed to buy. Shopped for a few yards of fabric i thought would be the closest match to what i pictured in my head.</p><p> Turns out, most people use minky for plushes, but i wanted to use satin & other unconventional fabrix. In retrospect, i bought too much odds & ends & could have narrowed it down, but most of this sewing stuff is pretty cheap, so not a big loss. </p><p> I thought i should do some sort of test before embarking on such an ambitious project (for someone who literally has no experience with the medium). I thought that id need a pin cushion & it could be a simple first project. It was originally going to be a Pokeball, but thought it would be cool to make a Voltorb instead.</p><p> I learned so much after completely & utterly botching my first attempt, just unspeakable lmao.</p><p> The importance of proper seam allowance design cannot be understated. Planning where to start, where to end, where to leave a gap for flipping inside out, where to cut pinking/darts/gussets to avoid deformation, what to trim, & thats just for a single color pattern! Using x2 colours compounds everything, but i ended up using white thread to avoid changing to red mid seam (which i regret).</p><p> I thought using a x5 dart sphere would be more invigorating practice than a x4 dart sphere. Then i thought id leave the top colour connected in a row, then same for bottom. In retrospect, i could have still left them connected even if i had added a bit more spacing to fold as a seam allowance. I thought that by leaving them connected i could avoid a full length visible seam, but after the first dart i realized that i would end up with "corners" at the ends of those seams, losing roundness. So i ended up trying to sew full seams anyway to maintain a round curve, but obviously ran into air since i butted the darts so close together.</p><p> I had planned to do some needle sculpting for the eyes, but realized i didnt want to anchor the knot on the back surface since it was already distorted enough. I still did some really minor sculpting but hit the learning curve on hand backstitch embroidery pretty hard when trying to map my stitches for the eyebrows. Its deceptively cerebral to be mindful of where to pass the thread above & beneath the fabric & how tight to pull & the effect of adding multiple anchors & strategizing their positions according to how they may affect past stitches & stitches not even placed yet.</p><p> I used a pleather material for the eyes, hot glued in position, detailed with a sharpie, then partially sewed onto the eyebrows.</p><p> I managed to take my 2nd attempt to the finishline, its still ugly, but was really valuable experience earned. I added some ball bearings as a weight to the bottom, filled with polyfill, sewed the gap shut, then did a few touchup seams at those corners i mentioned earlier in white & red.</p><p> Heres the result, it works as a pin cushion & i feel inspired/refreshed & excited to start the pattern design for the Gengar plush/pillow, i even started prelims for another plush/pillow after that.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYH_EhK-bjr2dwC7yH6zxnZvtN1izgIyIm-QPHyWMUWR5G3WPBsBgYWhAxeFLRGySudiVKr8iO5y1jVWzhnF5sFPSUmjvtI4ku068xgJt-xdFPurbnX4LdmQRIOqz_yTizmDGoAly_WmTtC7vpkep6ENYS_4PUPYHLJ2lWhgOWWyaVcEquvr1Or3Q8kpE/s3447/20231023_002225.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2748" data-original-width="3447" height="255" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYH_EhK-bjr2dwC7yH6zxnZvtN1izgIyIm-QPHyWMUWR5G3WPBsBgYWhAxeFLRGySudiVKr8iO5y1jVWzhnF5sFPSUmjvtI4ku068xgJt-xdFPurbnX4LdmQRIOqz_yTizmDGoAly_WmTtC7vpkep6ENYS_4PUPYHLJ2lWhgOWWyaVcEquvr1Or3Q8kpE/s320/20231023_002225.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilKCJIPIvAnOe9EhSVR9WfjD0FZRxYxTCwy6oWv_4IrXpE185KVGTFv1hvkeKBI7q1LTfQPcRv2TbvgAv9yk3a9Jw2oCA543YpWPN-Vmg7JA7XQqvhbL2BVF8bh254HuR_-WmH6N32OK_4U9WxphWHZuw4j9ZuquxwJeFQQ06zO7pVfJGYebs_WJlTGjk/s3904/20231023_002207.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3904" data-original-width="2861" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilKCJIPIvAnOe9EhSVR9WfjD0FZRxYxTCwy6oWv_4IrXpE185KVGTFv1hvkeKBI7q1LTfQPcRv2TbvgAv9yk3a9Jw2oCA543YpWPN-Vmg7JA7XQqvhbL2BVF8bh254HuR_-WmH6N32OK_4U9WxphWHZuw4j9ZuquxwJeFQQ06zO7pVfJGYebs_WJlTGjk/s320/20231023_002207.jpg" width="235" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Giltheartisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08105021663609749374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6128044464273275436.post-28532658532968334532023-07-24T22:16:00.008-07:002023-07-25T23:22:52.156-07:00Boot Ubuntu; FAT32 or exFAT? stuck at Grub CMD screen...<p>sort of an outfield topic for this blog, but im recently learning about Linux & Windows alternatives & was trying to boot from an Ubuntu loaded Flashdrive.</p><p>long story short, if you are being forced into the Grub screen, you most likely didnt create a "boot partition". After some testing & trial & error, i realized that if you try to make your entire disk a single partition & put the Ubuntu .iso contents on it, your default file options are ntfs or exFAT, however, if you make a smaller partition (i tried 10gb then 5gb a different time) you must choose between FAT32 or ntfs instead. exFAT was no longer a selectable option (however after making a FAT32 boot partition, the larger leftover partition is still limited to exFAT or ntfs).</p><p>with the .iso contents on the smaller FAT32 partition, i had no problems getting into the Ubuntu install screen.</p><p>the .iso contents on a full disk exFAT partition always took me to the Gnu Grub cmd script screen.</p><p>this frustrated me for hours, hopefully you have found this solution with a quick google search instead of those endless inane jabbering nerd forums.</p><p>the more you know〰️〰️〰️〰️✴<br /><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKxnB60ofqFq4SDj1pRbflCY4e6LCHOJW7Zqw7IdM1UxuPJ1xH2y7M8LYUDvBZfLiXiIwm0J-HHYOGg2A2sFRkrXqYuBHk4W2Fi7SbR0jdXIgDcCOum3sUljEHxA6JYPTwKa7KKpFPa_mXv9facvie4v0f2xiDuNe_0fp4wR5fSNj0KweedHW80NYre6k/s1439/23-how-to-install-ubuntu-20-04-desktop.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="898" data-original-width="1439" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKxnB60ofqFq4SDj1pRbflCY4e6LCHOJW7Zqw7IdM1UxuPJ1xH2y7M8LYUDvBZfLiXiIwm0J-HHYOGg2A2sFRkrXqYuBHk4W2Fi7SbR0jdXIgDcCOum3sUljEHxA6JYPTwKa7KKpFPa_mXv9facvie4v0f2xiDuNe_0fp4wR5fSNj0KweedHW80NYre6k/s320/23-how-to-install-ubuntu-20-04-desktop.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv9dBS-P7HMhinLmqE17OUs0vRGXEsBTaqtUAUW-2QBLRu_JHgm1e490j9b-XYf7odRgyYPX7_fqrb5GtGWvfYXkDMSx9mbtwz5DEOaGezLq6LAHqOPpvyiqQniPQZQZ7nfE5o1X4_91o--LWZIts0G4ztXQqna1pqkZaxTcmNA01zww2TierZfKl48qk/s1024/jYHyW.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1024" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv9dBS-P7HMhinLmqE17OUs0vRGXEsBTaqtUAUW-2QBLRu_JHgm1e490j9b-XYf7odRgyYPX7_fqrb5GtGWvfYXkDMSx9mbtwz5DEOaGezLq6LAHqOPpvyiqQniPQZQZ7nfE5o1X4_91o--LWZIts0G4ztXQqna1pqkZaxTcmNA01zww2TierZfKl48qk/s320/jYHyW.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>** another frustrating thing that in retrospect is painfully obvious, is that the disk you have the initial ubuntu .iso files on cannot be the disk you INSTALL to. this disk is unaffected when you reach the "Erase disk & install" or "something else" menu options in the install menu.<p></p><div>i kept being forced into the something else menu because i disconnected my windows disks so they would be safe. </div><div>i ended up testing a blank sd for the install alongside the boot disc (with the .iso files).</div><div><br /></div><div>this is confirmed by the prompt after the install to "remove installation media".</div><div><br /></div><div>major homer simpson moment but hindsight of course is much sharper.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>_______</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>some trivia i was searching for but couldnt find:</div><div><br /></div><div>* the fresh install of focal fossa ends up being 14.07gb (after installing brasero to try to make an .iso file).

I grouped together what I imagine I'll be using for skin, & had to compromise where a colour might be a better gradient gap filler vs where it should go based on what hue dominates it's tint.</p><p>I bought a set of 80 Annlov markers, 36 JHFArt skin tone set, 36 Chotune skin tone set, 36 Chotune grey tone set, & a 120 CaliArt set.</p><p>I also bought a 180 slot desktop organizer. I wanted to have a generous selection, but I needed to stay realistic about what colours would actually be useful &/or indispensable. I wound up coming in at 174 choices & don't really feel like I left out any I really wanted. I'm keeping all the rest as spares in a closet. It seems like Chotune may be going out of business soon because their listings & customer service is very spotty & glitchy, & approx half of their markers have issues with saturation levels, being either too dark or completely colourless. I hope they don't & I reached out in hopes of helping them refine their marker sets, but no response.</p><p>In fact I reached out to all of these smaller manufacturers in similar spirit, & was equally ignored. They just don't give a fuck about doing an oz of legwork or R&D or hearing from actual artists about what we need, (ie: not including 5 hot pink markers & 6 practically black markers in their sets) among other problems.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxpu8r76nYVTiD5b1-4ZzznAcunOixZgzXFMzYFUwWe1eQhLxvWabcxSEZe6twtyd-IbMnels_qb1oN6iR9Yko7WHmgP5GeElSVrpwK2WraHz1kw0kD5QHGrK3CGYO4bcTD3LyBblLykXHGwr6AT41Z1xH7VKlaNM02mrMndOTwTD0RG0ibHaMgKyU/s3722/IMG_20230319_014929.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3722" data-original-width="2892" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxpu8r76nYVTiD5b1-4ZzznAcunOixZgzXFMzYFUwWe1eQhLxvWabcxSEZe6twtyd-IbMnels_qb1oN6iR9Yko7WHmgP5GeElSVrpwK2WraHz1kw0kD5QHGrK3CGYO4bcTD3LyBblLykXHGwr6AT41Z1xH7VKlaNM02mrMndOTwTD0RG0ibHaMgKyU/s320/IMG_20230319_014929.jpg" width="249" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It's crucial to have a single sheet swatch diagram, so I of course had to make one from scratch. As I was filling it in I was already seeing some colours I could have arranged differently, but simultaneously was conflicted because I would feel the same if they were in their alternative location. It comes down to being able to mindfully reference the swatches while colouring & remembering where those outliers are that can "play multiple positions".</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjExFfzkQRkxSlJyO4J3MdSHP5OpCElPcCoR7muBwl_ZNR5OijyFWplZ2LJYmrJArKHh_XZ1YlarIF_YPY2C6DDTar93KQUpZVxxW7kV-5cOty_DMS5AcQHpswPPCNHl5KdRpuGB9WazidpwxbMSihbklm_3DZPJluZGBLD1fLNdIosYkVGTOOvkawn/s3088/IMG_20230319_161519.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3088" data-original-width="3000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjExFfzkQRkxSlJyO4J3MdSHP5OpCElPcCoR7muBwl_ZNR5OijyFWplZ2LJYmrJArKHh_XZ1YlarIF_YPY2C6DDTar93KQUpZVxxW7kV-5cOty_DMS5AcQHpswPPCNHl5KdRpuGB9WazidpwxbMSihbklm_3DZPJluZGBLD1fLNdIosYkVGTOOvkawn/s320/IMG_20230319_161519.jpg" width="311" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>For posterity, I'll list all the markers here, though the brand will be just as notable as the colour names, since I've seen several markers of the same name actually appear to be very different colours.

Well you just saw for yourself, there's pretty much no difference.</p><p>By feel alone, the Saji is stiffer, therefore fine lines come with slightly less effort. The Nikko Nipponji feels a breath stiffer than the Tachikawa Nipponji. </p><p>The Saji seems to be capable of slightly thicker maximum line thickness, though it takes more pressure to reach the maximum vs both Nipponji. </p><p>The Saji also seems to allow ink to run more freely, which has pros & cons. This may be ideal with thicker inks, but could be tragic with thinner inks.</p><p>If I had to pick one (I did actually, since I keep x3 nibs holders on my pen carousel, the maru, the g, & now the Nikko Nipponji) it would be the Nikko Nipponji for purely ethereal reasons.

No Problem!<p>Artists need to be able to create the moment they're inspired & have their tools reliably last all the way through every session. </p><p>Dry brush pens, acrylic pens, fountain pens, markers, (& even dip pens if you need to take a 15 sec break) are a show stopper.</p><p>They all come with a cap. This makes sense because without a cap, they'd mark up whatever they bumped into, the tip may get damaged, or someone could get severely poked. AND, they would dry out because those tips are basically like the opening on a bucket of paint. Leave that sitting with no lid & it'll dry just the same.</p><p>But in case you never checked, tons of those pen & marker caps have holes in them. Go ahead, blow into your favorite. Can you? Then you've got holes. Why do so many companies manufacture their caps with holes? The answer must be profound because I can't even fathom.</p><p>What's the fix? Bit of tape? Epoxy? Maybe to the 1st, & eh can't be bothered to buy & mix it to the 2nd. </p><p>I decided to just stick an old dirty piece of Kneaded Eraser on the end, instant, perpetual, removable, relatively durable, airtight seal. 👍✌️</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGMFCiW9Sr-R_x4E2zokamm8vt4wpbPpgqPnaskIRkM82ZjFaD_Dqs_QYBDe6J4w4R8lEwx53QIKdQma69JoJRn3qqlb7IEmOjkwl2WN1HWaHA_fg1NxyKgGlP72wTrARS5t0WcVtwR8AdR5uFPNfinLQBU7mTmlAJbABzagWq7lu7W7pQEytQk4pG/s4000/IMG_20230302_184443.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGMFCiW9Sr-R_x4E2zokamm8vt4wpbPpgqPnaskIRkM82ZjFaD_Dqs_QYBDe6J4w4R8lEwx53QIKdQma69JoJRn3qqlb7IEmOjkwl2WN1HWaHA_fg1NxyKgGlP72wTrARS5t0WcVtwR8AdR5uFPNfinLQBU7mTmlAJbABzagWq7lu7W7pQEytQk4pG/s320/IMG_20230302_184443.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPx_sSx8gp1qPTP4sa9gpN_gDyKZvYWRWDoMTkjF9simE09P9MrJ4h9Fc9YIxHsO1BU1cCEOlsjNew9hgyeLRJdImGIp3yWCc-NQN589uSpHcysCYHiiam0z1RW0YZKm4E17y8Az4VPSb9Ratlj5HlabZdoXN1tYoK8sBpdMNPxfYBhRQ5mBO0S9BO/s4000/IMG_20230302_184346.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPx_sSx8gp1qPTP4sa9gpN_gDyKZvYWRWDoMTkjF9simE09P9MrJ4h9Fc9YIxHsO1BU1cCEOlsjNew9hgyeLRJdImGIp3yWCc-NQN589uSpHcysCYHiiam0z1RW0YZKm4E17y8Az4VPSb9Ratlj5HlabZdoXN1tYoK8sBpdMNPxfYBhRQ5mBO0S9BO/s320/IMG_20230302_184346.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Giltheartisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08105021663609749374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6128044464273275436.post-914170366989506492023-03-01T22:40:00.004-08:002023-03-01T22:46:30.070-08:00SOLVED: ruler ink smears & smudges.<p> If you've ever tried to ink some gutter lines on a comic page or any straight line with a ruler, & wound up with infuriating feathered ink smudges when removing your ruler, this post is for YOU!</p><p>I found a work around to this problem. Yeah, some rulers have a bevel, & it is an option to just flip that ruler 'upside down', leaving the beveled side down & keeping a small gap between the paper & the ruler edge...but some rulers are only beveled on one side, or not at all.</p><p>Here's what you can do to any ruler to keep all your edges useable & evenly gapped off the drawing surface: buy a roll of double sided tape, cut a few small pieces & stick them to the corners of your ruler, on both sides. (DON'T remove the piece of plastic covering the other adhesive side of the tape.) Then place a few extra where you feel the ruler flex, this is usually halfway between the first pieces. </p><p>Now you must keep in mind, standard ruler use allows you to swivel the body of your pen in all directions so long as the tip doesn't lift, BUT, with this modification, you must take special care to steady the angle of your pen while ruling a line. Any major deviation could allow the tip to wander under the gapped edge of the ruler.</p><p>50 practice lines & I'm sure you'll master this modified tool & never curse the gods for smearing your pristine pages with ink again!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQA1v0AMjMTq9imKdesjVx6y3o8dfXZbX_ccGzvyVjv6Nh73KGWZMahAEKVo1qOWs5T5zWvV5HbW4APFnWdk5ZfzSHB9cL_WQKJSGXCg3Ac-604E0OhwbKra0TzP5LfjjNbHGEIKSXu0GMcutvnBhg177peLAKHrXVnZuGHVFnQe5ZqU3mtBpUiUSA/s4000/IMG_20230301_222816.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQA1v0AMjMTq9imKdesjVx6y3o8dfXZbX_ccGzvyVjv6Nh73KGWZMahAEKVo1qOWs5T5zWvV5HbW4APFnWdk5ZfzSHB9cL_WQKJSGXCg3Ac-604E0OhwbKra0TzP5LfjjNbHGEIKSXu0GMcutvnBhg177peLAKHrXVnZuGHVFnQe5ZqU3mtBpUiUSA/s320/IMG_20230301_222816.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho_IOfGkizZzBTCAgUxq3wg6LF86H-5WlCQT6KVdneFRdCzfv0hUEqOQmfWgpfu3hy84NuARDvoy7NhnATL_84PIDx8nDNk8qCkEOgBTt9F0zpkEnSJft9uwLW-QBYI2Me_OScFBa3idoXv4X5uQ_hlN_HzCc0NzzUwxV_mwb73UyBI3DN4_rMULwF/s4000/IMG_20230301_222911.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho_IOfGkizZzBTCAgUxq3wg6LF86H-5WlCQT6KVdneFRdCzfv0hUEqOQmfWgpfu3hy84NuARDvoy7NhnATL_84PIDx8nDNk8qCkEOgBTt9F0zpkEnSJft9uwLW-QBYI2Me_OScFBa3idoXv4X5uQ_hlN_HzCc0NzzUwxV_mwb73UyBI3DN4_rMULwF/s320/IMG_20230301_222911.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Giltheartisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08105021663609749374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6128044464273275436.post-11094583695707688132023-02-19T12:52:00.001-08:002023-02-19T12:52:58.467-08:00Cleaning the Kuretake no40 brush pen<p> Ive been very happy with the performance of my no40 kuretake, in fact its not an exaggeration to say its the best pen ive ever used. Ive been feeding it Carbon Ink & have refilled my Gold Cartridge about 3 or 4 times. </p><p>Well as you can imagine, its finally become gunked up & dried. I now know that it wants to be thoroughly cleaned before every refill. </p><p>I tried to clean it myself using odorless brush cleaner & warm water, but felt that i couldnt quite reach the real problem area; the base of the bristles. I saw a youtuber remove the tip cone revealing the base, but when i removed mine, it appeared different. My tip pulled out a thin felt rod that was seated in the ink well/barrel. It doesnt appear to be able to come apart any further, though the rod has some movement if pushed or pulled upon. I was too afraid to push or pull more than 1mm, if you are willing to risk ruining your pen for the sake of science please let me know if the felt pulls the bristles out or what actually happens. I imagine if they are somehow attached to the felt, you would then thread the felt back in through the tip like a needle, but then im unsure how you would continue to push it through without damaging the bristles too much. perhaps theres enough room for the felt to appear again on the opposite end without applying pressure, in order to pull on it again.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwW5hKmlEVxHxRejOUb4_4STdgAXuPXD_QbnakihMH-mvBDyXHASYnCixGarkFcrD95FiQZpElerUB9dEtTJEnQ4h75sp5QHNpp_tVrT0fCWE4NqtLpdr1BiDTBZR2b51snGbIW9__lOdr_Q8UsOHgr84-35YWCz9DuF-gOEXNso4a5hxDlE_jvrho/s4000/IMG_20230219_123018.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwW5hKmlEVxHxRejOUb4_4STdgAXuPXD_QbnakihMH-mvBDyXHASYnCixGarkFcrD95FiQZpElerUB9dEtTJEnQ4h75sp5QHNpp_tVrT0fCWE4NqtLpdr1BiDTBZR2b51snGbIW9__lOdr_Q8UsOHgr84-35YWCz9DuF-gOEXNso4a5hxDlE_jvrho/s320/IMG_20230219_123018.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Giltheartisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08105021663609749374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6128044464273275436.post-90654781337335718012023-02-09T22:02:00.000-08:002023-02-09T22:02:42.250-08:00Band Photo<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbOK8jfO_X0ysOqfVs1zQ_EGIjb7lQoIAtY-qAVVQbhCCy8WeurB8_c_Uu5KATK0jJTgjQxkrS0ye-I2ifpAm8DUOA8_wUxARWlWo_8K0rdtEzEsxhk3RDgxsT5AvDsMIl2AT29zhZStr7-JEh7NPh0Oc-CfYWA_POWf2W6K1Dp54ip2FLNGgQ6dov/s1439/1676008165517.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1439" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbOK8jfO_X0ysOqfVs1zQ_EGIjb7lQoIAtY-qAVVQbhCCy8WeurB8_c_Uu5KATK0jJTgjQxkrS0ye-I2ifpAm8DUOA8_wUxARWlWo_8K0rdtEzEsxhk3RDgxsT5AvDsMIl2AT29zhZStr7-JEh7NPh0Oc-CfYWA_POWf2W6K1Dp54ip2FLNGgQ6dov/s320/1676008165517.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>Giltheartisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08105021663609749374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6128044464273275436.post-24557720789773441972023-02-02T20:38:00.005-08:002023-02-02T20:39:13.566-08:00Heirs of Ashuradō official strategy card game prototype game box!<p> Drawing inspiration from games like D&D, MTG, YuGiOh, & Pokemon, this roleplaying strategy game delves deeper into the world of Ashuradō using some familiar card game mechanics & some new ones.</p><p>This prototype 1st edition is available on loan only to serious testers.

The 9 points of calibration will never be uniform on this machine, there's variance of -0.30 to 0.20 on my bed in order to get a flat print. Heat makes this fluctuate wildly from a cold bed.</p><p>Ive found it necessary to recalibrate before every single print, which is an incredible pain in my ass, but I've found variance of up to 0.20 on the same points between prints, I believe due to the flexible plastic bed & the spring loaded heating plate.</p><p>I also found that the popular method of using card stock under the extrusion tip is not foolproof. It makes a big difference if your cardstock is a few micrometers too thick. In the attached photo, the card on the left is slightly thicker than the card on the right. The left card was causing failed prints, the right card magically fixed the problem.</p><p>I use masking tape on my bed for adhesion, & that thickness must also be taken into account when choosing your cardstock.</p><p>I use a postcard that was included with filament from @reprapper. I'm not sure what thickness it is exactly but it feels like 80lb smooth stock.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlQF1hORASB3DZDg2bOt45UGSoID5X6kmrunr8aYm9LArTkrUSL0rnobFHE3pMG5oSqk4XvveQBG-qyrqSr09t1on9vh20EZmko0JPySeS1d8juH47X0HO2Y-sqhH1fpuv6RxYHiawPmG9SNZ4STrUHD0byLQTzP81hnaneuVaos6flCPBBYz4Hi94/s4000/IMG_20230108_123926.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlQF1hORASB3DZDg2bOt45UGSoID5X6kmrunr8aYm9LArTkrUSL0rnobFHE3pMG5oSqk4XvveQBG-qyrqSr09t1on9vh20EZmko0JPySeS1d8juH47X0HO2Y-sqhH1fpuv6RxYHiawPmG9SNZ4STrUHD0byLQTzP81hnaneuVaos6flCPBBYz4Hi94/s320/IMG_20230108_123926.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpFxGS5XLXuxuxEG0M5qQQqi5SZ7WUpgAD_gjTqTF-VNFy9Cw9vxIXvYNGfXF43rshEcejjNyjdei3v4u-7fX63OqNk6M6WW6vOgVt3YoPw2-oDFGX05Z38QmH2l4WcVoHijUbDiXj18K0yd4lXXpN5euJhUzqatWs633GnrSXZwM8VCeHlQaHVWUu/s4000/IMG_20230108_122546.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpFxGS5XLXuxuxEG0M5qQQqi5SZ7WUpgAD_gjTqTF-VNFy9Cw9vxIXvYNGfXF43rshEcejjNyjdei3v4u-7fX63OqNk6M6WW6vOgVt3YoPw2-oDFGX05Z38QmH2l4WcVoHijUbDiXj18K0yd4lXXpN5euJhUzqatWs633GnrSXZwM8VCeHlQaHVWUu/s320/IMG_20230108_122546.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><br /></p>Giltheartisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08105021663609749374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6128044464273275436.post-73039888564297352572022-12-10T13:01:00.000-08:002022-12-10T13:01:05.338-08:00SOLVED: Black Ink Smearing On Photo Paper.<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYGoQG_7afkzVV8c8axQo7nJPb1GNoatSnYYWdM6NJ3hHFXm0D2qv5Ih2laoE-zbP4OYGQmUCbLfZEoI5Ry-IKf3nwT8RvhaPZu59FHXmzUUM5Iw7A0IeNPN_k6OTOJ6y8cWe9_qbg5MVMBiasq1TdFxHhKMjNyWwm-HASVu8cbVH_wWpl6E4BKTjF/s1280/Screenshot_20221123-212928_Chrome.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYGoQG_7afkzVV8c8axQo7nJPb1GNoatSnYYWdM6NJ3hHFXm0D2qv5Ih2laoE-zbP4OYGQmUCbLfZEoI5Ry-IKf3nwT8RvhaPZu59FHXmzUUM5Iw7A0IeNPN_k6OTOJ6y8cWe9_qbg5MVMBiasq1TdFxHhKMjNyWwm-HASVu8cbVH_wWpl6E4BKTjF/s320/Screenshot_20221123-212928_Chrome.jpg" width="320" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYGoQG_7afkzVV8c8axQo7nJPb1GNoatSnYYWdM6NJ3hHFXm0D2qv5Ih2laoE-zbP4OYGQmUCbLfZEoI5Ry-IKf3nwT8RvhaPZu59FHXmzUUM5Iw7A0IeNPN_k6OTOJ6y8cWe9_qbg5MVMBiasq1TdFxHhKMjNyWwm-HASVu8cbVH_wWpl6E4BKTjF/s1280/Screenshot_20221123-212928_Chrome.jpg"></a>youll notice the first few prints smear where there are solid blacks, like the hair on the cover. This is because the ink i was using was pigment based instead of dye based, & i learned that the supplier had switched their formula since my previous order from dye to pigment. this is really only an issue if you are using uncoated paper, apparently resin coated paper will work with both but is harder to source. <br /><br /><br />The best you can do if you must work with pigment ink on uncoated paper is to experiment with both your print software & hardware settings to find a configuration that prints the shiniest, then quickly wipe away the undried black ink with a clean cloth. This will leave you will a slightly lighter but useable print.</div><p></p>Giltheartisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08105021663609749374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6128044464273275436.post-19448093512305397482022-12-10T12:55:00.000-08:002022-12-10T12:55:11.286-08:00I love #ThePillows<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIvbxN3F0DLrrll9mHSNwPgjWCJk3cTLYlijdxIR2VfV8lX65Zej8kdGnpvah4K3rilpaZaF0hdtp37-8w3DzEGCy8lJAYVTiPsgXB9N0UCL3IRItjH_ls3k_NCEzqVWBGMausXroTaR-h9quGZijD2fEoNBxkZ6M8riZqRLX0nkSYAZql-P2xyiH3/s1702/1670655256959.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1702" data-original-width="1056" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIvbxN3F0DLrrll9mHSNwPgjWCJk3cTLYlijdxIR2VfV8lX65Zej8kdGnpvah4K3rilpaZaF0hdtp37-8w3DzEGCy8lJAYVTiPsgXB9N0UCL3IRItjH_ls3k_NCEzqVWBGMausXroTaR-h9quGZijD2fEoNBxkZ6M8riZqRLX0nkSYAZql-P2xyiH3/s320/1670655256959.jpg" width="199" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>Giltheartisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08105021663609749374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6128044464273275436.post-85870483542400672632022-11-20T10:29:00.001-08:002022-11-20T10:29:40.254-08:00#HeirsofAshuradō is officially in a brick & mortar comic shop! namely #FloatingWorldComics, probably the coolest little comic store in portland. still on the trek to get it into more stores, then the #Anthology series is next.<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh84aM5XMm46DIDyrSD1fAfZZjbOYmCceB850mrLapprd98jQ7Fcq7ydGGP26mu5yFzhrnhnsvSbg1uO2Hu-xYqrj0_377_gIjna9MdtXA1Z0niCTguOjiZAU1AqRahq-uu2L2lPtz5GymZyW8hnMhiZfWcjL3W-Gbn0YmdA0Pz7PdUFh2V3i1FK1kM/s4000/IMG_20221119_184018.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh84aM5XMm46DIDyrSD1fAfZZjbOYmCceB850mrLapprd98jQ7Fcq7ydGGP26mu5yFzhrnhnsvSbg1uO2Hu-xYqrj0_377_gIjna9MdtXA1Z0niCTguOjiZAU1AqRahq-uu2L2lPtz5GymZyW8hnMhiZfWcjL3W-Gbn0YmdA0Pz7PdUFh2V3i1FK1kM/s320/IMG_20221119_184018.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>Giltheartisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08105021663609749374noreply@blogger.com0
