Acrylic painting: Pondering Fairy (process)
Hello everyone, in today’s blog post I’d like to show you the process of creating my recent Pondering Fairy painting 🙂 First of all, it was made using November 2021 Paletteful Packs supplies – you can read more about them here. The tools I used: Standard Series Acrylics General Selection Set 6 × 20 ml POSCA Paint Marker, Extra-Fine Bullet – Violet Robert Simmons Sapphire Sable-Synthetic Blend Brush Art Alternatives Artist Palette Knife Crescent Canvas Textured Boards – 8″ x 10″ I started the process by looking for inspiration – I googled fairies and fairy aesthetics. I really wanted some iridescent and close to transparent looking wings, so googled those too. I noticed fairies often are surrounded by toadstools and I found some beautiful pictures of them that gave me an idea about the colours and general setting of the image. What was left to figure out was a pose for the fairy and…

Wait, it’s almost December and you’re writing about the October pack? Well, yes.

Promem do Szwecji
Hej! Tym razem wpis po polsku, ekskluzywnie, gdyż, no cóż, angielska wersja tego wpisu raczej nikomu by się nie przydała. A wpis jest o podróży promem z Gdyni do Karlskrony. Dlaczego taki temat, niezwiązany zupełnie ze sztuką ani z grami? Ponieważ odbyłam tę podróż na ten moment dwa razy (oraz dwa razy w drugą stronę), więc już mniej-wiecej wiem co i jak, jednak za pierwszym razem mocno się stresowałam, miałam pewne problemy w poszczególnych etapach podróży i chciałabym wtedy wiedzieć to, co wiem teraz. Robiąc research przed moim pierwszym rejsem udało mi się w sieci znaleźć tylko jeden artykuł na czyimś blogu dotyczący podróży promem Gdynia-Karlskrona i podający jakiekolwiek przydatne detale. “W praniu” jednak okazało się, że tamtem wpis, mimo, że bardzo ciekawy i opisujący część rzeczy, które mnie interesowały, nie dał mi wszystkich potrzebnych informacji, które wtedy bardzo by mi się przydały np. jak konkretnie dojechać do promu, czy…

Bless Unleashed – launching the game saga
Admit it, you didn’t expect me to write a blog post about a game at this point. Especially not about Bless. I used to write about Bless. Back then it was a (slightly) different game named Bless Online and we all know what happened with it (it closed, I didn’t get my money back). But Neowiz being the greedy people they are, after closing Bless Online (the game that, in my opinion, wasn’t that bad, actually! Unfinished, unpolished, needed more work, but not bad!) on PC they released a console version and guess what! After a few years, they ported the console version to PC! I mean, seeing what Bethesda is doing with Skyrim and Neowiz releasing various versions of Bless over and over, I don’t think I’ll be surprised about any game re-release anymore. You’d think that with Neowiz’s history barely anyone would play the new iteration of Bless.…
