I struggle a lot creatively and self deprecate about how I am not an artistic person at all. I don't play musical instruments, I can passably get by carrying a tune. I can't draw/paint etc. The closest I have gotten to is photography which I am approaching beginner status. I do enjoy building RC trucks and I have been pushing myself to paint the bodies better. These come clear and you paint the inside so you need to think in reverse for painting. It is weird. Typically this is done with masking tape cut, sometimes vinyl masking and just special formulated spray paint.


You can see the post where I show some of the process of painting it here.

Here is my most recent finished body. It is truly so dumb and it brings me such joy.

I've been rebuilding parts of the house from 2 different water disasters in the past year or so.

I'm working in the basement and I'm reconfiguring the layout. I made this built-in bookcase / TV center from stock wood, 100% in house. First time making cabinets, making doors, etc.



Still a lot to do down there, but it's getting closer.

Forums poster nut pulled off a really fun and creative stunt, with the help also of forums poster sk

Basically we banned nut by reqeuest for "no nut november" during which time they continued regular-posting as an alt named pecan whose av was like a negative version of nut's av

meanwhile nut regged another account, Terry Harri, a persona who is a birdwatcher who loves nuthatches, and who made a neocities website about nuthatches, but it turned out nut was trapped inside of the website's code somehow! so BYOB posters, helped along by a shadowy character named knut hiding in the javascript, were implored to solve 16 puzzles in order to free nut from the website code, culminating in a final RPG battle full of running BYOB jokes

Here's the thread, the second post has links to all the puzzles if you feel like doing them or even just looking at them

you sniped me!! gonna dump my post anyway, in case i can give any behind the scenes insight or answer any questions:

---


hey everyone! i'm coming to you live from byob, where we just finished up a five week ARG themed around saving byob superstar nut from a confused bird-loving canadian. we'd love to have more people see it now that everything is finished, so i'll link it here before giving anything away.

--- SPOILERS BELOW ---

nut requested a joke ban for No Nut November and then started discussing the game with me on nov 1. we mostly split between nut being in charge of puzzle ideas and creating art assets while i focused on writing the site's HTML/CSS/JS along with a couple pieces of audio recording / animation. a lot of the "lore" that ended up attached to the game was a joint effort with the two of us just bullshitting back and forth on discord throughout. it took until nov 9, when we had already completed a few puzzles, for us to decide on the final reveals for each character's secret identity.

we were both happy to see each puzzle solved fairly quickly by a couple people who then helped to lead the rest of the forum to the answer. i only needed to drop a hint once or twice when the players were REALLY stuck--the community was always great at working together on a variety of different challenges.

as for the final battle...i was WAY too confident that my 10-15 year old flash knowledge would make it easy to animate a battle scene, but about 40 working hours later i definitely put myself in over my head. i was pretty bummed that we had to release the animation with a pretty major playback bug but byob was very kind to us when we released the finale! it turned out to be a great crash course for myself with adobe animate (a great piece of software with no problems at all), and hopefully i'll be able to make more stuff with it in the future! it was also an opportunity to animate this real weird final fantasy summon (spoiler for finale content, and possibly :nws: for tasteful snail nudity):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2FZrE5BQow

so yeah, thanks to everyone who played along live, and i hope anyone joining now enjoys the game! it was a blast to work with nut in putting this all together, and i'm hoping for sure that another project like this comes along soon!

Hey guys! I do bonsai! Here's one of the trees I've been working on for a while now. It was growing on a mountain side for a few centuries before someone dug it up, sold it to me, and after getting it healthy and on good bonsai soil, I've given it a structural styling!

The goal of a structural styling is just to move the branches into position. Although American junipers like this have very cool trunks, their foliage is terrible, so next year I will be grafting shimpaku juniper foliage onto it.

I keep like fifty trees or so and have started styling trees for friends and patrons, so I can share more if there is interest.

Check out the bonsai thread for more cool stuff like this!

It's not a model of a real ship, it's a model of a 'type', but I named her "Serenity" because I'm a nerd and loved Firefly, plus it's funny to have a ship designed for war named Serenity.

Ta gueule, laisse-moi finir.
This thread is great, people are so talented and in so many different areas :eyepop:

I knitted a sweater from a pattern book from the 90's. The cut is really outdated and full of weird stylistic choices (dropped shoulders, over-sized arms), but when I saw it I knew I had to have it. It's the most fun I've ever had making something.


First few rows of the back piece, this is the pattern that is repeated.


Oops, I messed up the pattern here but by the time I realized it was too late


The last step was to sew everything together. Making sure each patterned row matched was tricky.


It's hard to take a photo of the whole thing because it's so big but here is almost all of the finished product. I'm really happy I challenged myself to make it.

e. vvv I love the exploding wall, that's amazing!

Woooow this is incredible. Absolutely slack-jawed as I scrolled through y'all's paintings, furniture, renders, sculptures, baked goods, etc. Just too much to mention. Absolutely amazing. What a cool thread idea, too!

I like to click plastic bricks together. I design things in LEGO! Here's some stuff I've been up to lately:



I made this last month for the DIY Secret Santa; it's a replica of another goon's Grizzly table saw:



And this one's kind of my big magnum opus right now, a build that I'm currently trying to gain support in order to have it made into an official LEGO set through the LEGO IDEAS program. It has all kinds of cool features like an exploding wall, a wagon with steering and suspension, a locking safe, etc. Check it all out here, including animated gifs of the action features, and maybe support the project if you'd like to help me out!



One last thing, I've also started streaming the design process of making LEGO models on my Twitch channel. I typically use a digital design program called Stud.io, and the streams are super chill and conversational. See how a model gets designed, hang out and chat about my cat who loves crying in the middle of every stream. I'm told by people who didn't know anything about LEGO before that this poo poo is somewhat fascinating, so give it a shot! We go at 7PM CST every Friday, and I really appreciate any and all support - I need 10 more followers to make affiliate!
