Since that mushroom video I've actually continued using that we weird setup to continue making art, and to make my life easier I've forked the project to make a voice-art oriented editor. Results have been pretty good, including some more detailed pieces like this one: https://www.huguesross.net/art/2023-02-19

Today's video is trying out the first draft of a new 'grid input' feature, letting you place pixels individually using commands similar to chess notation. I wouldn't draw a full piece like this, but i think it has potential for placing out of the way details and clusters that would be annoying to draw etch-a-sketch style.

Special thanks to Artificer-111 and Ennea from the Pixonomicon community for the inspiration!

This is a video of me drawing a mushroom with only voice commands. The actual "real-time" part is pretty boring; I considered just uploading a snippet of it but I thought this was a unique enough workflow that there's merit in sharing the whole thing. Apologies for the audio quality, I don't record myself often and my setup's not great.

Software used:

I thought it might be fun to record myself drawing, so here's a 45-minute sketch video showing my process. There's no commentary, feel free to mute if ocean ambiance isn't your thing.

My first draft of HEP BORT 2023. I redesigned and greatly polished the animation after some feedback from a local jape-smith, it definitely got a lot better but I still have a soft spot for this one!

Wobbly, no! That's the Blender default cube! You'll choke!

A little birthday loop for WobblyPython, everybody's favorite pomp'd serpent. Special thanks to ShareAnecdotes for the pants-on-head clownshoes music, which plays an integral part of this shitpost!

Let me take you for a ride, flying down the road to parts unknown.

I have never played a gacha before, but I assume this is how they work. It's just a whole bunch of cool bears, right? right?

Note: Stock bear photo was shot by Robert Laszlo (https://www.pexels.com/photo/big-wild-bear-among-green-bushes-in-summer-8159931/). As if 2023 the link above appears to be a 404, but the artist's page can be accessed at https://www.pexels.com/@robert-laszlo-32882504/ and other photos of the same bear are still up.

A simple spinner with dithering, put together on my first Blender livestream. It was a good time, lots of stumbling and mistakes but with a pretty alright result!

I'm planning a followup stream sometime to continue iterating on this silly thing and make it even better.
