Last thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

    This was what I got. I wanted to make the lemmy a kiwi but turns out kiwi’s are nearly impossible to draw head on. A side on lazer kiwi with gumboots and a silver fern bucket hat was my vision but I lacked the artistic skills to bring it to life in inkscape.

      Haha nice!

      People always rave about inkscape, but I am always so completely lost. Like If I want to draw a hat I have no idea how to even start making something that shape. I should probably do a tutorial or two.

      I remember that’s what it was like when I first started learning GIMP so I guess it’s just that steep learning curve to even be able to do the most basic things.

      I think I’m leaning towards this

      …naahh it’s too busy for a icon. We could blow it out to a banner, maybe?

        I think the current icon is better. I unfortunately dont have the artistic skills to bring my vision to life.
