I don’t check DMs on these platforms that much so it’s not a good way to contact me!

I don’t update these that often (maybe a couple times a month at most.) If you want to keep up with stuff I’m working on and updates to this site consider using the rss feed for my blog.

tools i like / use

for building this site

current

• Hugo
• sk1 Theme - I’ve wound up using this theme as the base for a lot of things.
• downstyler.css

past

Things I like but don’t really have a good use for right now:

• Rarebit

computer stuff

hardware

An incomplete list.

• Ploopy Adept
• Huion Inspiroy H610PRO V2 - completely fine tablet that evokes no strong feelings. Have a Huion Kamvas 22 but it stopped working after a year of use and now just hangs around as a second monitor.
• PC built in 2020 | Windows 11
• Thinkpad T420s | Bunsenlabs
• Thinkpad X220 | 9Front - just messing around with this, I barely know how to do anything.

software

• Clip Studio Paint EX - the only thing keeping me on Windows because the comics-specific features are really useful. :{

  Some specific Clip Studio tools I use a lot:

  • Beautiful analog line binarization (アナログ線画を綺麗に二値化するオートアクション)
  • Quick lasso fill
  • Protrude pen and remove only overflow (はみ出さないペン&はみ出しだけ消す消しゴム)
  • Rough parallel line tone brush (ザラつき万線トーンブラシ)
  • Impossibly deep sandy grain (ありえん深みのある砂目)

• micro cross-platform terminal based text editor.

drawing supplies

for comics

• Pentel Brush Pen 🖤 - cheap, refillable, has bristles.
• Rohrer and Klingner sketchINK in black - to refill brush pens and misc fountain pens. A bit cheaper than Platinum Carbon and seems similar enough.
• Any brand felt-tipped pens in 03 and 005 for drawing, 08 for panel lines - I can’t tell the difference.
• pencils - for comics doesn’t matter that much, just whatever wood case HB or 2B.
• Daiso handheld broom - wide and narrow, meant for sweeping out crevices but makes a good brush for cleaning away eraser shavings. Has a little heart-shaped hole on the handle for hanging.

for whatever else

• Holbein gouache
