Graphic Collections

When I have time, I enjoy playing around with Inkscape, GIMP, Blender, and Krita (although I really only know the basics). This is usually in the form of inspirational quotes, renderings of animations, photos with surreal effects, photos of random things, wallpapers which are abstract, and posters with infographics. The ideas for many of the graphics come from various books, images, videos, or just arbitrarily browsing the internet. The collection is a bit limited and I hope to expand it in the future when I have more time and I am able to improve my skills in digital art - it will be a long journey.

Inspirational Quotes

  • Inspirational Quotes - Thoughts And IdeasThis is a special compendium of various thoughts and ideas which have been personally expressive over the years. The majority of the ideas behind the images have inspiration from a variety of stories, poems, or songs. The images are also mostly associated with themes around life, love, and friendship - feelings which really matter at the end of the day. Some images were intended to be about or for specific things. The newest images are first with the oldest images last.

Rendered Animations

  • Rendered Animations - Beginner TutorialsThis is a simple collection of the result of some tutorials which were followed while learning some of the very basics of Blender. Most of the tutorials were videos on YouTube from Polygon Runway, Blender Guru, CG Boost, CG Geek, Ian Hubert, CGMatter, and various other amazing creators. A personal touch has been applied to most iterations and some post-processing was usually performed in GIMP, Krita, or Inkscape for some iterations.

Contemporary Photography

  • Contemporary Photography - Animal And Plant LifeThe exhibited graphics include photos and videos portraying animal and plant life, such as wildlife, insects, sea creatures, indigenous species, and blossoming flowers. The graphics were captured in a variety of environments ranging between nature reserves, hiking trails, suburban gardens, and ocean reefs. In most cases, the graphics were taken using a mid-range camera or phone with minimal post-processing, corrections, and adjustments being performed in Darktable or GIMP (quality has been reduced for online viewing). The newest images are first with the oldest images last.

Miscellaneous Notes

  • Custom Font Design - Square Orbits HeadingThis font is a work in progress with many iterations to come. The origination backstory was to be used in the logo for this website with a design which aims to create an informal display typography which stands out while remaining consistent across the letters. Currently, the developed letters include "A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "I", "J", "K", "L", "M", "N", "O", "P", "Q", "R", "S", "T", "U", "V", "W", "X", "Y", and "Z" (identical lowercase and uppercase letters). For other characters, Noto Sans Bold is used as the default replacement. With regard to next steps, the glyphs and advancements have been selected, but the kerning between letters has not been set (going to take a bit of time unfortunately).
