StarSpeed Components, 08/21

by indigo on August 17, 2021 and modified on August 17, 2021.

Hey, gang! It’s been a few months, so it was only a matter of time before my thoughts returned to StarSpeed.

This week, TheGameCrafter sent out an email announcing a new component, the Postcard Mat. This 4×6 mat, they say, is perfect for player reference cards and such. As is typical when I get these emails from TGC, I started to consider how I might use this new component in my own game. The obvious answer to me was to replace the Racer Dashboards with these cards – 4×6 is already a bit larger than what I’d been planning to use. Also the fact that it wouldn’t be a custom laser-cut component meant I’d be saving quite a bit of production cost. So I started thinking about the rest of the components.

Hey, gang! Hope you’re feeling great today!

As usual, I’ve been thinking a lot lately about my Works & Plans: where I am, where I want to be, and how I might best get there. Had a lot of thoughts this week about my online stores, and the projects I’m putting my energy into. Wanted to share those thoughts while it’s all still fresh.

Note: Nothing I write here is final, everything’s subject to change, this is just where my head’s at.

Hey, gang!

All this week, I’ll be doing new fan-art drawings on my Twitch Artcasts. I’m introducing a couple of new sizes for commissioned art like the Sketchcards, and I need to work up some samples in the new sizes.

I’ve got a special offer up for my Patrons – suggest a character for me to draw and I’ll send you the sample piece when I’m done!

And as always, come by the Artcasts starting Thursday to watch the process!

The Ongoing Saga of the Free Refrigerator

So, a couple weeks ago I found a great (?) deal on a fridge for my bus – a Magic Chef 24″ wide 10.1 cuft. apartment fridge, being given away for free! The ad said there was ‘probably something wrong with the condenser’, and that it wasn’t cooling properly anymore. A quick search online showed that, yeah, if the condenser was bad, it would cost about as much to replace as to buy a new fridge. However, I also found a number of accounts that said it was just as likely (if not more so) that the starter relay was the problem, which would only be a $20-25 fix. So, me being me, and having the free time, I decided to roll the dice and get myself a free refrigerator.

Drawing Diary, June 2016

3/18/2021 Update! So, I didn’t finish out this drawing journal, but I’m gonna publish it anyway. I think this is still a worthwhile idea, even if I often end up leaving most days blank. It would still be nice to be able to look back at the week or the month and see how I’ve done.

Here’s my drawing diary for the month of June 2016. Part of my plan for the rest of the year is to get back into the habit of drawing every day. To that end, I’m going to start tracking that progress by just describing what I draw each day, so I can look back and see how it’s going. So, here we go!
