I draw angels mostly, but I do draw fanart from time to time as well! I've uploaded progress pictures, timelapses, and files associated with my work, too!

A mess
A bunch of FOSS hardware and software. https://twystlock.com/ was my latest creation. My next is a suite of modular open source home automation sensors including everything from air quality to mmWave presence.
In a more "professional" FOSS sense I just presented a new federated identity management system at IIW based on ActivityPub and OpenID Connect: https://fedid.me/.
I also make a lot of behind the scenes algorithms.
I’m living on an old farm with lots of junk.
So naturally I am building an 8 foot tall wind-driven kinetic sculpture of a Wendigo.
I bought a welder and a cutoff saw. All the materials are retrieved from the trash gully that every respectable high desert property must have.
It’s a form of cope and even ritual magic for me. Embody the spirit of hoarding and greed so it is vulnerable and can be imprisoned, that sort of vibe.
It will take all winter to finish it. The rebar armature is flexible and bobs in the wind. I will add sun bleached oak branches to give it flesh.
Woww🤩🤩
Currently? Walnut ink.
That sounds interesting. What's the process for making it? What colour does it come out?
Worldbuilding and video games! :(
Burritos
Resentment in others.
Memes
Cortisol
Disappointment
Philosophical ramblings to justify my existence, which according to capitalism has no value because I don’t have the ability to work.

I had a shop that made flaming nipple tassels, though I just closed down until the future is more certain. I also create sideshow and fire performances. My most recent one involves a drill and my skull.
And finally, a lot of D&D content, such as an entire world setting inspired by the tarot deck

This just makes me so happy!
I'm working on an audiobook of a novel I wrote. I have another recording session today with voice actors who play my characters!
Oh, that must be exciting and nerve wrecking at the same time, seeing your characters come to life. How do you convey what you imagine the characters to sound and act like?
Oh yeah, its amazing to hear the voices for these people but, as you say, it's scary. Since I'm the director and creator it all falls to me to decide everything. I mean EVERYTHING from inflictions in their voices, how a line is delivered, scheduling, payment etc. Of course, I give my actors freedom to interpret how they see the characters. You have to have a fine balance between making decisions but also letting them be creative with what they do during directing sessions.
Is this an already published book? Or are you releasing it concurrently with the audiobook?
I'm releasing it concurrently with the book. I've still got a lot to do before I can release anything however so I'm just doing the chapters that I know are 100% done
That sounds even more stressful. Good luck!
You have no idea...anyways, thanks!

I have a podcast that I create with a couple of friends. We take an ordinary object—such as a ceiling fan, or a paper clip, or a toilet brush—and we create a movie plot based on that object. The show is called Almost Plausible, and can be found wherever you listen to podcasts.
I created an email service called https://port87.com/
It’s got fancy features that help you stay organized and spam free.
I also create loads of open source software, which I use for it:
https://sveltematerialui.com/ - A UI library for the Svelte framework.
https://nymph.io/ - An object relational mapper for Node.js and the browser.
https://github.com/sciactive/nephele - A WebDAV server with encryption, deduplication, and S3 support.
I create web applications! 🎉 (AKA I’m a typical Lemmy user.)
Holy shit, we are dozens!
My body is a machine that turns caffeine into uptime.
I have a big sprawling scifi universe I draw pictures of. There is a lot of lore in my head for it that I really am going to write down and present now that there are so many visuals.
I create stupid jokes and sarcastic comments on Lemmy.
But mostly just a lot of CO²
And a lot of um... excretions, liquids and soilds, ya know...
I wanted to do worldbuilding and write a story but my depression kinda derailed that 😓

Duct tape and cardboard solutions to questions like "How do I get these two pieces of photography equipment to work together?"
I recommend you try gaffer tape instead of duct tape.
Advantages:
- Remains flexible and removable forever.
- Looks nicer, a cool matte black or manynother colors.
Where I get off making this recommendation:
I needed a light-excluding bellows for a photographic project. I made one using black illustration stock and gaffer tape. It worked extremely well on the first version and held up to hundreds of cycles of extension/compression. My application was sensitive to pinhole light leakage and there was none.
It would have lasted longer but that was the end of that project.
My two cents. I love DIY stuff!
Fair comment. I used gaffer tape a lot at the beginning of my journey because it was convenient and available, but everything I built fell apart eventually, so I started using cloth duct tape. I recently discovered aluminium duct tape which is genuinely amazing. It's like regular cloth duct tape, but it can be shaped really precisely, and it holds it's shape even if everything else falls apart around it.
Chaos and discord.
You made Discord?
🤔
When is the Chaos app gonna be released and how is it different from the Discord app?

As a welder, I create a ton of shit. Today, I created a new handle for a lathe, cut off the old one, and bolted on my part so the lathe functions (mostly).
I am a senior data architect and infrastructure programmer. I build the tools and design the data persistence that folks at my company use to build solutions for clients.

I had a professor whose ice breaker question was some version of, "what book do you want to write/planning to write?" Everyone seems to have one.
Might not be as relevant today after blogs perhaps cleared that out of peoples' systems.
As for me, I cycle through mostly craft-based hobbies. Embroidery, leather work, candle making, 3D printing. I can make candles much faster than I can burn them, so that's self-limiting. 3D printing is great to have the materials and skills for, and I'm slowly learning to design in Blender. But at the moment I only use it when I suddenly need to have a thing-a-ma-widget and remember: "hey! I've got a 3D printer. Of course I can make a valve stem cover!"
I'll probably be back to leather crafts as we head into the fall and winter.

I like to create software tools for people smarter than me to create bigger and better things.
Tools that are used to create human misery on a mass scale.
This month I'm building Bluetooth headphones for a teen I work with, he needs them to function but his parents won't spend money on them and he keeps breaking the cheap sets he has.
I'm working with a school metal shop to make steel frames for them and I've made the cups 3d printable and easy to replace. Of he does manage to break these, it will take no skill to repair them.
Carbon dioxide. A metric [emphasis]-ton of dust. Other waste.
Sometimes I write small Perl programs or Bash scripts, but that's rare, and it's mostly for my own benefit or amusement; even more rarely do I share them.
Sometimes despair. Sometimes happiness. Hopefully a sense of being informed and/or entertained if not also a (weak?) sense of camaraderie by means of weird little text interactions with people online.
