One of my favorite of all spots on any BBS forum or Discord channel is the off-topic areas. I'm usually in there a lot! Random shit, ahoy!


Always believe in yourself, and be yourself. Except for that one Noob named “Larry”. We don't talk about him after what happened in the spaghetti dinner incident of 1987.

Gentlemen, I love art.

Gentlemen... I love art.

Gentlemen, I... SO LOVE ART.


I love painting.

I love bucket filling.

I love line art.

I love sketching.


I love blueprinting.

I love grayscale.

I love sculpting.

I love rotoscoping.

I love erasing.


On the canvas, in the layers, in the line art. On the color, in the shading. On the gradient, in the filter, in the blueprint, in the rough sketch.

I cherish each and every way art can be made on this earth.


I love the moving pictures in all frames arrayed at the animation timeline starting at once, as it plays away the frames line. My heart dances when the splashes of colored paint are splattered onto the paper in splotches from a direct stroke.

I love it when a alpha layer shades a layer below with its brush. It left a warm feeling in my chest when the canvas line art would pop beautifully from the warm colors, only to be darkened by cold air brush.

I love it when the bucket tool overfills the layers line art, grayscales first. It moves me when I remember the sight of a new brush waiting to be used, painting an empty canvas over and over.


I can hardly contain myself, thinking of sketching random doodles from imagination. And it is superb when the chalk scrapes on chalkboards... with the shriek dragging from one side I hold as I scrape it down to the other.

I even remember distinctly the hammer and chisel from the box pulverizing whole blocks of stone. Where the hard resistant chipped away against the chisel with it's rough and hard surface.

I love the paint colors blending into disorder. It is very very sad thing when the alpha layers should have protected to the line arts edge are overrun and the canvas and layers are filled and ruined.

I love the clay and mud being crushed and molded. Their soft surface on the table like playdough, squished by these hands, is the height of pottery.


Gentlemen. I wish to see art worthy of one in the crab bucket itself.

Gentlemen, my array of artists who follow me... Pray tell, what do you wish for?

Do you wish for a art as a matter of course?

Do you wish for a rough, sketchy art?

Do you wish for an art which runs the strokes of pencil lead and splattering paint, filling every canvas in the entire world?


Very well. Then let it be Krita.


All our colors is held in a clenched toolbox, poised to stroke. But for we who have continued to endure a whole half a century in the depths of these empty layers... A simple art is NO LONGER ENOUGH!!

A GREAT ART!! ONE BORN OF OUR SINGLE-HEARTED DEVOTION!!

We are merely one brush set, no more than ten layers remain. But I believe that you are all matchless hardened and softened brushes. So gentlemen, together we are a brush as colorful as a million different colors.


Let us paint those empty canvases that drove us into the realm of art block. Let us paint by their surface, drag the brush down, fill their spaces, and make them beautiful.

We shall make them beautiful and stand out. We shall make them stylized in our own renewed vision.

We shall sketch them something in the interval between layer and layer they don't even recall with their construction lines does indeed exist.

We're no strangers to love

You know the rules and so do I (do I)

A full commitment's what I'm thinking of

You wouldn't get this from any other guy

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling

Gotta make you understand

Never gonna give you up

Never gonna let you down

Never gonna run around and desert you

Never gonna make you cry

Never gonna say goodbye

Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

We've known each other for so long

Your heart's been aching, but you're too shy to say it (say it)

Inside, we both know what's been going on (going on)

We know the game and we're gonna play it

And if you ask me how I'm feeling

Don't tell me you're too blind to see

Never gonna give you up

Never gonna let you down

Never gonna run around and desert you

Never gonna make you cry

Never gonna say goodbye

Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Never gonna give you up

Never gonna let you down

Never gonna run around and desert you

Never gonna make you cry

Never gonna say goodbye

Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Me again. I've been busy quite a bit lately, and I've been working on my own take on KWKB, which in turn has an article that I've been rewriting lately. Ironically enough, this is actually a religious television station in Iowa City, Iowa, which I've been rewriting my own take on it for almost a week now. Thanks to the powers of fanon and me having too much time on my hands, I finally have a reason to post here. XD


I've been hard at work on making it a news station that's lightly derived off from WHO-DT in Des Moines, Iowa for the past several months. As such, I don't really have a logo made as yet, so here's a placeholder I whipped up on Microsoft PowerPoint and also the script for the aforementioned article on their EAS system malfunctioning.iu_1224723_19774054.webpiu_1224722_19774054.webpI dunnno if screenshots from Microsoft PowerPoint count as art, but it probably does, since I'm making a mockup of what KWKB's logo will look like. I'll remake it in GIMP sometime today and post it on my account.

GIMP is okay I guess, I might start using it more when 3.0 comes out soon. So many QOL improvements among many other things, because stuff like very ridged zoom in/out and completely inferior blending modes compared to krita and stuff like that. And I really wish I learned this earlier, but I need to slow down when drawing (outside of timed gesture drawings) because this isn't a race and I need to give my brain a few seconds to think about what I should do next.
