Charming. Feels very handcrafted due to all the unique features, asymmetry and avoidance of straight lines. Also reminds me of the backgrounds in point & click adventures like Machinarium.

This one has a nice glow to it. Looks a bit as if you painted it on a semi-transparent sheet and put a backlight behind.

Love the strokes on the yellow flower head.

Nice, has a very biological quality to it.

You nailed the oily/glassy look on the eyes. 100% huggable.

Would it theoretically be possible to replace the base image with a different one (of same dimensions)? Basically like a template file where you store a bunch of modifications, filters, etc that can be applied to any image…

I sometimes manually clean up scanned documents and if there’s many pages I would love to apply the work done on one page to subsequent ones. If it doesn’t look good the try only took a couple of seconds.

It’s the predominant direction of the wind.

So if I understand non-destructive editing correctly GIMP will store a sequence of transformation instructions (basically 1 for each undo/redo operation) rather than overwriting the actual pixels each time? Ie no matter how much editing you do, the original input data is always preserved?

Knifehand, now that’s a great name for the top henchman of a movie villain.

Wikipedia says:

The Simpson Desert is an erg that contains the world’s longest parallel sand dunes.

parallel dunes

I’m guessing this part of the map uses the actual surface topography, ie how precipitation would run off through the troughs of the dunes, rather than the underlying aquifer structure. Hmmm 🧐.

Love this. Care to share the final digital image when you are done?

My head canon is that “having a bird” being equated with being crazy comes from these old mechanical wind up clocks where a bird quite literally jumps out to announce the passing of a full hour:

That lower eye lid sounds so useful for sleeping. I have trouble falling asleep in rooms that aren’t perfectly dark, to the point that I cover up LEDs from electronic devices with dark tape. To be an owl!

Don’t remembered the context. Stumbled on upon this picture on a blog some time ago and saved it.

Amazing picture. Having a scientist as a leader is a rare thing and very much welcome.

new Pokémon just dropped?

Ok, that’s helpful for providing alt text for images inside the body of a post.

Bus what about image posts? When using the web interface I don’t see any opportunity for entering the alt text. 🤔

So are different users served the same picture but with the squares aligned slightly differently? Or is it exactly the same always for each user?

1st panel is genius. Expression on the guy tells me he owns a boat. What a match.

OBS Studio should be able to to handle that. You can set up hot keys for saving the buffer too.
