Learning a new platform was the smaller hurdle. Django doesn’t feel that alien to me somehow, and the documentation is fair, too. Unlike Ruby on Rails it doesn’t mean you have to know all of Ruby’s kinks. Let’s face it, Ruby wouldn’t have been much without rails. I’d much rather work with the more familiar Python, but I think I expressed that enough already. (Probably)

That said, the problem was more that of magnitude. I’ve made it my goal to take The Auberdine Community‘s website to the wonderful realm of web2.0. The first couple of weeks I breezed through it like nobody’s business. I actually almost finished a complete forum platform which was actually easy enough, and not that many bugs creeping here and there either.

But the issue was that say I have a model, every single one of those requires:

• A view to put stuff into the template
• The template itself
• Repeat for every action that the user would do on the model

So a post model suddenly had to have 5 more views and templates and those all needed to look pretty, and in turn those would have to also work properly.

Fair enough, that’s just cumbersome, I can do it, right? But then there are other issues involved. For instance, plugging all the little holes that suddenly pop up (damn you, user input validation!) and designing the models just right (you have no idea how many times I wiped the db).

Maybe I’ll just finally redo my gallery instead and come back to the project. It’s about damn time. Would love to see that being improved

The drawing will be about a few days in my life, and some higlights, some ideas, some pictures, some motifs. It’s the usual thing with a little twist.

As for the sneakpeak itself, click here. I hope you like it.

Please understand that I _live_ on your feedback.

You may download it for free and watch it as much as you like.

Anyway, point is, now it’s out. You can find it here. I would just like to tell you that any connection between the movie and things that may have happened in real life are completely accidental. Blah blah.

I don’t know just how many people would actually understand this slightly wry kind of humor, but I’m hoping that there’ll be at least a few people who’d just smile a bit at the sight of the punchline.

Bye bye.

I really like it. I have five versions, thus, Miso5.png.

You can look at it here. I also have the SVG in the usual place.

Enjoy, dear fans.

I don’t think I have anything more to say about it. Just go there and take a look, and don’t forget to write comments in this post.

Look at the drawing here.
And get the SVG sources here.

If you’ve been to Denmark already you may be familiar with a common brand of butter dubbed “Kaergaarden”. They have two sized of boxes – short – with less butter; and tall – with, well, more butter. I just think it’s comeletely hilarious, the two sizes, and decided to try my luck at this smart humor.

It uses a drawn outline, a traced fill (that I touched upon for hours and hours trying to remove what I don’t want to be seen), two background layers and two other layers of fill. You’ll get the SVGs later, feel free to dig them up once they’re released and render your own gigantic copies.

They’ve inspired me to draw them. I knew it’ll come sooner or later, and here it is. My pigeons. They’re here in the gallery.

I think I allowed myself to do quite a few things and go wild with the details, not to mention the background.

Take a look at the artwork here.

And here is the SVG source.

Yes, it is based on a picture, it’s true, but I love the picture so much, and this drawing is even better! I love it! I love it! It’s totally genious.

I’d like to thank _J.L._ for the support. Although J.L. never really knew it helped me, still, the conversations I was having at the moment with J.L, and a long time without seeing much from them, followed by a sudden message lead me to draw this thing.

Sense of renewal.

Look at the artwork here.

I drew this as a doodle on paper until one afternoon I decided to transfer it to SVG. Then another day I felt like inking it, then the next day, like painting, then the next day like adding shadow & light.

And finally, a month after that concentrated week – a release.

Tell me what you think about it. I find the nail a bit clumsy, and I’m probably going to fix it some day.

The SVG for this picture by the way is here as well. Download it and play around with it. Of course, don’t forget who made it (me), since everything here is under a Non-Commercial Creative Commons Attribution Licenese.

Are the colors alright? I find them a bit distracting.

So far I found:

• Several drawings, digital that is most of them with no SVG sources
• Some photographs from earlier this year
• Some materials from previous generations of the website
• Things I’ve done in the past few months

Again, most of them lacking SVG sources and high-resolution renders. It’s too bad, but on the other hand it’s sometimes nice to start over, even if it may not be the most convinient way.

By the way, here’s a link to the gallery. It can be found on the navigation panel too, of course.
