Things I have made or am making:

Brush Pens and Marker Holder:

This is one of those things that I box-modeled by hand and is entirely functional. It fits all of my ARTEZA Watercolor Brush Pens and my set of Archival Sakura Micron Felt-Tip Markers! It works astoundingly well. Additionally, I put contact-cement (I think) rubber on the bottom of that bastard so it won't slide around on my desk. Crazy work, and a lot of fun!

As can be seen in the one picture of the long white part that holds all my ARTEZA Watercolor Brush Pens, I somehow royally fucked up counting forty-eight when making the rows in Blender... So I printed two pieces and then glued them together with some Gorilla Super Glue Gel. It honestly worked a treat, and I feel like I could bludgeon someone with it. It's sturdy. Oh, and I modeled the long white part so the tips face down and the asses face up so I can see what color it is when grabbing them!

Furthermore, and as aforementioned, both the small black part and the long white part have contact cement rubber on the bottom. When I still used to use Amazon, I bought that shit off there from some glorious motherfuckers who make the shit in California to fix my Logitech MX Ergo's base. I decided to use it here too. I wish I knew who made this stuff because I'd buy a fuckton more from them - IT. IS. THE. SHIT.

Watercolor Deckbox

This shit was a total diaster, WILL ADD SOON.

I loved how this bastard turned out, and of all things, fucking chemistry ruined my day - GODDAMN WATER MOLECULES RUINED. MY. DAY. That's okay though, I learned an important lesson - That's really what all of this is about anyway. Making cool shit. Making mistakes. Fucking up royally. Going "Oh golly I bludgeoned that bastard." Then trying again and again and again until it's good enough.

Popsicle Stick Deckbox:

I derive a particular kind of enjoyment from making things out of popsicle sticks, glue, an x-acto knife, and a pair of wire snips. It isn't always clean, often times it's crude, but it's usually "good enough." It's not like I'm doing some feats of engineering over here or anything!

As can be seen in the pictures, this deckbox used to house my Mono-Red Goblins deck. That is, until I put cardboard on the sides and attempted to paint it. It was a TRULY ATROCIOUS paintjob, insofar that I don't use the fucking thing anymore because I greatly dislike how it looks. Fuckass paintjob.

I used a factory-made deckbox to rough out the dimensions and built a paper box. Then, I used the paper box as a base to build the popsicle sticks around. It honestly worked a treat and the actual skeleton came out pretty cool. In retrospect, it would've been cooler if I just kept it as it was instead of putting cardboard on it and painting it. Oh well, we live and we learn!

Hand-Sewn Marker Bag:

I made this for my favorite professor, Prof. Signorini, to carry his whiteboard markers in. I taught myself to back-stitch doing this, and I made the whole thing without a pattern using my brain. It was a lot of fun, and it tickles me pink whenever I see him using it!

I specifically bought these godforsaken Pilot Board Master Super Thick Tip markers and gave them to him in the bag. I recall him trying to use them in class, and the first line he put on the board he starts DYING of laughter, and I'm sitting in the front row fucking doubled-over with him and NO ONE ELSE IN THE CLASS got it, but he and I did. They are completely impractical, but a FANTASTICALLY ~FUNCTIONAL~ gift!

Prof. Signorini is one of very, very few individuals who would always sit with me, laugh with me, joke with me, and most importantly, humor and listen to me with sincerity - He'd always answer my questions, no matter how inane or insightful they may have been. I also secretely enjoyed it because I'd get him talking about Mathematics and once I got him started, it'd just ooze out of him with such unbridled passion - It was and is contagious.

Microphone Shock Mount:

I'll add the write-up and pictures soon! I box-modeled this motherfucker in Blender, 3D-printed it, and used elastic hairbands from Walmart. It works like the full-fat $60 thing too, except cheaper. Yahoo!

Pholidota:

Pholidota is an artifical screen darkening program I wrote for Linux, specifically under Wayland and KDE Plasma.

A little backstory - When I used to run Windows, my favorite program was PangoBright by Pangolin Laser Systems. When I switched to linux, there was nothing that fulfilled this same role. Unfortunately, I wrote it in python, yet fortunately, it does exactly what it needs to.

I named Pholidota, "Pholidota," to pay homage to PangoBright as Pholidota is the taxonomical order of Pangolins!

NOTE: At some point I will upload this bitch to Codeberg and link it here... Eventually... Sometime between the now and the heat death of the universe! That being said, right now, you can view all the code for Pholidota right HERE.

Ember Engine:

Ember Engine is my game engine. It was originally a little shitbox engine written in Python for use with Pygame CE, but I am currently in the process of rewriting it in C++ using the Vulkan Graphics API. Fuckin' Vulkan, man. Honestly, C++ is what I really hate, the syntax is genuinely awful, like, WHY did we have to use "::" ?!?!?

In the current moment, Ember Engine is written in C++ using the SDL3 library. That being said, eventually, sometime in the future, I'd like to write Ember Engine without using any external dependencies - I really enjoy understanding the nuances of interacting with the operating system and making all the pieces tick in my particular way! Something something about "not reinventing the wheel," but it's my opinion that to truly understand the wheel, you must try to make it yourself from scratch! That being said, that's partial bullshit because I simply enjoy making stuff myself too! Ahahaha.
