This was my second year attending Anirevo as a vendor, and somehow it was just as, if not more, stressful than the first. Part of it was not knowing I was going until about a month and a half before the event. Last year I proxied for and shared a table with Dayshi , who registers and books the event. It’s a really nice setup because I didn’t need to apply for the convention myself! This year Day…

My blog was supposed to give me the freedom to write what I wanted, whenever I wanted without the pressures of social media. However, recently I've been feeling a new pressure, a pressure to write well thoughtout pieces that held up to the test of time. This pressure to perform has pushed me to obsessively worry about if what I'm writing will even "fit" here. Which is a very silly thought, because…

My little personal project https://makesweird.art/ is now an exclusive member of the https://250kb.club ! (yay!) MWA, short for makesweird.art is this little social habit tracking site. The focus for me was to center accessibility and sustainability as a core design value. It's a pretty cool website made to build ritual, and to be sort of an 'loose' social site! If you're in the market for a…

The banner I wanted to draw two months ago, but just couldn't for the life of me get it looking right. This is the version I wanted to begin with! I'm seriously so happy with how this turned out! So much so I'll probably be printing some out to sell as merch. Unfortunately, my csp didn't record the timelapse.. so you'll have to make do with the very very ugly timelapse. by en · full res +…

You need to remember. Done over perfect, every time. Done isn't mediocrity, it's momentum. No project of yours is going to be a magnum opus. Your will never make a masterpiece. But you will finish your work, and finishing teaches what perfect never does. If you believed you had peaked, the only direction left would be down. Even if you don't want to do 100%, you know you can at least do 50%. If…
It's been a while! The longest gap between site logs yet, actually. If you've read these before you know I write them retroactively. That's just the easier way for me to document. This one is a little different though. There's so much that changed since Site Log #5 that I can't dig into all of it without writing a novel. I'll be listing out point form the various new feature that's crept onto the…

Hey, did you know? I'm a V6 climber? Please don't talk to me if you've never even climbed a V6. This bit is so dumb , jokes aside. I'm so happy I hit my goal of V6 by summer! Moving forwards my goal is to get really consistent at the intermediate levels. Maybe climb a V7 by winter..? I'll report back once that happens! read or comment on eninabox.art :3c
Even more unbeatable fan art! This time we have quaver striking a cute pose! I really liked the little mechanism where you take little photos of Quaver to match with their Polaroid photos. I'd like to imagine Beat carries this one around. by en · full res + comments on eninabox.art

A while back I made a YouTube tutorial on how to install Clip Studio Paint on Linux. It used Bottles (a GUI Wine manager) and was based on existing work from WineHQ and Ignacy Kuchciński. If you're installing anything below CSP 5 I still recommend Ignacy's guide! My video did really well, and reached way more people than I expected. My comments section quickly turned into a help desk. My asset…
I think a lot of people are starting to feel something off about Google. Even people who can't really articulate what. As somebody pretty deep in this techy and nerdy stuff, it's rare to hear my non-tech friends echo the unease I've been sitting with for years! But it's been happening more and more. So this post is for the people who are use to Google but are looking for a change, and want a place…
These are my personal notes on rigging L2D Arkit tracking. These notes are unedited and messy, but can be useful for people trying properly implement VBridger Brow + Mouth Tracking. Vbridger Mouth + Brows Brows Use the poly pen tool to make meshing easier. The poly pen tool is found in 'Manuel mesh edit' > and under tool detail. Ctrl+clicking yellow circles allow for width adjustment in poly pen…
UNBEATABLE frames itself as a rhythm game where music is illegal and you do crime, but underneath is a love story. Love for creativity, for music, for the act of making something, and for yourself. I love this game so much. by en · full res + comments on eninabox.art
*Bad Day* was my Animation 100 final. We were given the words WALK CYCLE, CHARACTER TURN, BIRD, DOOR, and CARTOON TAKE at random to create a one‑minute story. I started with ambitious ideas; I’d never had so much creative freedom, but I quickly decided to keep it as simple as possible. I had two more classes and I also wanted to have time for myself. The story follows a girl having a bad day who…
A year and a half ago I expressed that you don’t learn skills, you acquire them . That studying a topic isn’t the same as doing it and I still think that’s true! I have two more years of school left. I’m halfway through a four-year animation degree. This summer I’m loading up on extra courses to hopefully fast-track the back half. This is not because I particularly love school and want more of it,…

When I came to visit today, I barely recognized you anymore. The sunshined the the same on my back, like any other day. How I long for just a glimpse, but I know I never want to return. To the space that you reside. by en · full res + comments on eninabox.art
First sketch in Krita! I really enjoyed myself. The program feels great, albiet a little ugly. I've been seriously considering ditching CSP, thought I'd give krita a try, such a simple sketch took me so much longer than I usually would. by en · full res + comments on eninabox.art
The problem. There are two types of websites. Static sites & dynamic sites. Static sites are unable to process content on a server, and there's no interaction with a database. Dynamic sites on the other hand allows a freeflow of content, and has the processing power of a server. A good example of dynamic sites are social media platforms which act as platforms for real time flow of user generated…
TL;DR: I left Windows for Linux and had to rebuild my Voicemeeter setup from scratch. The result: PipeWire virtual sinks for each audio source (mic, browser, music, comms, desktop), Carla as the patchbay, and yabridge + Wine 9.21 to keep my Windows VSTs alive. Not 1-to-1 with Voicemeeter, but covers everything I actually needed. Full setup below! Digital or virtual audio mixing is a niche, but…
In comparison to other mediumns, poetry has never touched me the same way as films and games. Poetry often asks me to do the work of making meaning, and for the longest time I didn't feel like engaging with the medium. This changed a lot over the past two years as my city's transit system started featuring the works of local authors on my daily commutes, and out of sheer bordom I started to…
I've been an avid Spotify user starting with a free plan when I first got my iPhone 4. It didn't take long before the ads got to me and I subscribed to the service. During my time subscribed, Spotify increased my subscription 4 times, demonetized roughly 88% of their catalog , introduced a shitty AI "DJ", bricked an $89.99 device for its existing customers , was fined €5 million for GDPR…

I want to run away. It comes as a surge in my chest, usually late at night with the lamp on and the rest of the house already asleep. The surge says yes, I can do this . I can walk away from everything and I will still be alive. I will still love and be loved. My personality, my self-identity, doesn't have to be propped up by anything other than what I want. It feels like freedom. Pure…
I knew three things before I opened my eyes. The hum of the cryo chamber was wrong, the air tasted like copper, and I’d been asleep for too long. It feels like I’m in a terrible state of sleep paralysis, my limbs aching with stiffness and extended stasis. I scream at my body to move, but my senses come in waves, fragmentary and broken. The machine lets out a groan, then a loud hiss, all of a…
I'll try to keep this the only opinion peice I write about generative AI. I know that's not realistic, but I'll make an effort to keep my opinion here. The conversation is endless and the scope keeps growing, so I'll skip the technical, ethical, and societal arguments (better-equipped people have written those) and stick to what I've actually decided for myself. I opted out! I tried the tools. I…
Creative software is predatory and hostile to both studios and independent artists, with pricing structures designed to extract maximum value while maintaining dependency. Yes, industry-standard software earns that status for good reason. These tools are often amazing. But this cycle of dependency is dangerous for creatives. In school, I'm learning to use industry-standard animation software. My…

Fuck nespresso, what a terrible experience!! I've gone through the whole spectrum of coffee making, from grinding my own beans and pouring my own cups, to relying on nespresso pods, and I've only stuck with the pods because I was gifted the machine and felt I should put it to use. For the longest time I've wanted my own espresso machine, but always held back because of how expensive they are. My…

You don't need to learn a skill to be good at it. You acquire skills by doing them badly until you don't. Learning about them is easier, but it won't make you competent. Babies acquire language without studying grammar. They mimic, practice, and absorb. Most skills work this way: repeated exposure that builds up to a latent ability. That's acquisition. Learning is different. Learning is studying…
