12/26/23

Time Worked: 1 hr, 45 mins

Wooooh, intense day. I just had to deal with insurance and stuff about my car burning up, and also needed to get an MRV done for an ongoing health issue. Medical stuff is hard for me because I can become extremely anxious sometimes, especially a medical scan like that. Fortunately it was open but it was just hard for me to overcome. And just the concern about what the heck is wrong with me; what the doctor will say whenever they get the results.

Oh well.

Today was pretty damn productive. I didn't feel like it, but here I am, I did the work. I decided to do some of the gun artwork next because I felt like I needed a break from all the coding. And I really feel like what I made is pretty sweet. The picture attached to this post is what I'm going to use for the handguns for now. I had looked at different science fiction handguns from things I like such as Warhammer, XCOM, Rimworld, Halo, etc. But I decided eventually I didn't really like basing my stuff on any of that, and that I just wanted to make a somewhat original fictional pistol.

I did use the Sig P320 XFive Legion (a gun I shoot for competition) because the thing just looks cool as hell. It's a very large pistol. So I literally just took a picture of that and traced over it in Gimp, then took some liberties to make it less of a straight-up-copy. And I like the result! Pretty sweet! Pretty heavy looking and plenty of little details. Excited to do whatevers next. I may just use this for now and not do any more weapon artwork yet, do it iteratively. We'll see tomorrow. This really only took me about an hour of serious work which is pretty damn quick.

Later!
