i want. DAY 69 [OC, brainmade]

digitally made voting poster for "Robert Habeck", who is a german politician. text on it says "i want ROBERT HABECK as our chancellor. why him?" then there is a list of reasons to have him be chancellor. first is "he's an absolute cutiepie" with a heart. next to that sentence he responds shily "no i'm not" which gets responded with "oh yes you are!". the following points are "looks reallly polite and honest. is really polite and honest. gets shy on interviews, likes heat pumps, is not Friedrich Merz (our current chancellor who is generally very hated), seems smart, feels pretty human". at the end the list becomes harder to read. one can barely make out the last entries "is a really sweet boy" and "looks really good". there is an image oh him holding a sign very passionately which says "I will be good, I promise". bottom left says "by maria on lemmy"

he’s suuuuch a cutie - just - god. he’s so good and nice and never actively lies. worse case is he lies because he literally forgot. such a honest lil man.

waiting even longer. DAY 60 [OC, brainmade]

digital drawing of a white figure sitting in a field of grass on a stone, looking toward the sunset. they are sighing. the lighting is warm but one can tell the the scene isn't all that warm temperature-wise. text overtop says "i now know what i want. and now i have to wait even longer to get it?". bottom right says "by maria on lemmy"
preview

it’s already been so long. the wait has helped me but i don’t know if i canwait much longer.

alt image (catbox, high quality)

a person can only go for this long. no matter the amount of spicy noodles, blanket-huggies or splatoon wins, one can really only go for so long before things start breaking.

i wish you a wonderful day where you don’t have to wait long.

am hungry. DAY 61 [OC, brainmade]

digital drawing on orange background. there are some cripsy looking triangles on screen. they look like they have crunchy cornflakes bits on them and look fun to eat. some of them are opened up partially, revealing a liquid cheese sauce glistening in the light. text overtop says "these cheese triangles are pretty good". bottom right says "by maria on lemmy" in very faint text.
preview

wowie yes these chee triangles ARE really good. like - wowie zowie yup aha, yup yes they are, mhm yes oh yes they really absolutely are pretty good.

sorry, catbox is down, no alt image link today :(
especially unfortunate with a post like this where color change is meant to be perceived and not… crushed down to jpeg artifacts.

yea, now i know what kind of post to make when i don’t know what to make. cuz this one was really easy and fast to make and also i had fun doing it. horray.

this post is a reference to this older one about putting some pickers chee triangles into the freezer. the body content includes a photo of the actual packaging in my freezer.

i feel sick. my throat is hurting, i was shivering in bed earlier cuz so cooooold. my hands are still cold as i’m typing these words.

i wish you a wonderful day with unreasonably tasty snacks ~

heavy. soft. DAY 65 [OC, brainmade]

digital drawing on purple background. lilac figure sits on couch holding a puffy carrying case and a nintendo switch 2 handheld. they put the handheld in the pouch and notice how heavy the pouch beomese because of it. afterwards they touch the pouch, noticing how very soft it is. finally, they end up cradling the carrying case with the system inside and saying "awwww" with hearts and sparkles arund them. bottom right says "by maria on lemmy"
preview

the puff pouch makes a return! it’s back and taking the exact same role, kinda. the puff pouch had its first debut here a year ago.

alt image (catbox, high quality)

so yea. the handheld is rather heavy. and that makes the carrying case heavy. and it’s rather large. and soft. and nice to feel. sooo i hold it like that and talk to it a bit too frequently sometimes----- anyway

very strong purple background today.

aaaaa gotta catch up with posts aaaaa i’m soooo behind. i gotta make ONE MORE POST today!!! and i should have the time to do it! i really should.

i wish you a wonderful day and that you do something that makes you feel nice.

mobile wallpaper version. DAY 63 [OC, edited*]

digital drawing on orange background. text says "these cheese triangles are pretty good". there are four nacho cheese triangles drawn. they look crispy and some of them show the liquid cheese inside leaking out. there are various sanrio characters visible on the cheese triangles, specifically Hello Kitty, Keroppi and Cinnamoroll. bottom right says "by maria on lemmy"
preview

someone talked about a mobile wallpaper version of the post with hello kitty. so here that is. a version without hello kitty and versions with higher quality can be found below.

* edited info:

  • this is an edited version of this post i made yesterday. the source image is my work
  • i am in no way affiliated with the hello kitty franchise. these character designs are not my work and are stolen from Sanrio

i chose the generic android phone size which Pixels and samsung phones use today cuz i thought that might represent the largest amount of peeps here.

high quality version

high quality without hello kitty

some of y’all might notice a problem when trying out these wallpapers: they look smudgy or low quality despite you downloading the high quality version. that is because you phone assumes the image is not pixel art so it tries to smooth it out, making it… yeah, less crunchy. to combat this, here are upscaled variants which preserve the crunchiness of the pixels:

high quality 4 x scaled

high quality without hello kitty 4 x scaled

this should resolve the bluriness you may find with the original resolution images.

yes i’m sorry this isn’t a fully original post. i will make… something. i’m a bit burned out with all of this stuff…
it’s a surprising amount of work. even purpleposts take their time and this one took waaaayyyy longer than i wanted it to. well over 3 hours of being distracted, trying to get the characters just right… it took a while. and now i still gotta make one more post to finally be cought up again.

imma do it… maybe not today, but tomorrow perhaps? hopefully…

i wish you a wonderful day in which something fun happens.

can i? DAY 57 [OC, brainmade]

digital drawing with dark purple background and comfortable atmosphere. a lilac figure and a white figure are sitting together on the floor, leaning against a wall. White has their legs pulled close and Lilac is holding Whites legs from behind, creating a sort of hug. Lilac mentions "I wanna eat you up like I eat chili cheese burgers". That makes White think for a bit, repeating bits of what Lilac said "...like...chili...cheese". After a few seconds, White remembers what that looks, gets really blushy and embarassed and utters "oh! oh god...". finally, Lilac asks in a soft speech bubble "can i?". bottom right says "by maria on lemmy"
preview

like a chili cheese burger.

!

so i was at BK, eating an unreasonably expensive plant-based chili chee tortilla 🌶️🧀. it was good, maybe a bit too good. i started eating it… differently, until i noticed what i was doing. almost like in these TV commercials where they kinda kiss-eat a whopper or something.

it was tasty. and no, unfortunately the 1% cheese in the chili cheese sauce was unfortunately not vegan i have to inform you. sorry.

i wish you a wonderful day where you eat something delicious.

good luck. DAY 45 [OC, inspired*]

digital drawing with two panels. first shows a stick figure holding a leash, saying "go do research. use hyperlinks. test the results locally. play a nice sound if you need help. i am right here and believe in you. go (heart)". next panel the figure is still holding the leash, which is connected to a smaller round robot that has a screen for a face and cat ears with a colon three mouth. in the room, there is a shelf named "resources" with books about powerpoints, cad 3D files, godot scene files, and a book named "skill.md". there is a holder named "tools" with objects hung onto it: glue stick, sledge hammer, pen, magnifying glass, scissors. on the right there is a computer showing a terminal with a sign "sandbox bash". top left text says very faintly "by maria on lemmy". it's barely visible.
preview

wanted to make something like this for a while. so now since i’m on a throughput train, i made it. horray.

now it’s too late, i did it, i posted this and you cannot stop me.
no thoughts, just post. made a related pres on the topic yesterday so i’m in that headspace

i wish you a wonderful day where you are allowed to show nuance.

so proud of rule. DAY 56 [OC, brainmade]

screenshot of an android phone with the notifications pane open. there are settings at the top for WLAN, flash light, mute mode and bluetooth. there are no notifications visible in the list. instead there is a trophy icon and some text that says "All notifications cleared. You are all up to date. Good job. No, really. Keeping track of eveerything to do can be tough. But you are handling it really well. I'm proud of you. Oh yes I am, I am very proud of you for always clearing the notifications like a good little user". the text starts changing from the system font to handwriting with hearts and such. it continues "You are my good little user, aren't you? Aha, yea, I think so too (swirly line). Meet me inthe developer settings at 4 PM, okay?". top of the image says "by maria on lemmy" right next to the clock and date.
preview

good job <3

i wanted to make some kind of praise post for a while but always felt it would feel undeserved and thus not real. so this is how i’m doing it instead.

this idea came from android now giving you this trophy icon when you clear your notifications (on my pixel 6 with graphene at least).
so i thought

oh, why not go further with this

and now here we are. i considered replacing the trophy with a heart buuuut that would have been too much change, i did want this to look somewhat real.

here is the source screenshot btw

dunno how this will land. let’s see. so far, image edits generally do worse for comment-count than fully original posts sooooooooooo we’ll see.

i wish you a wonderful day in which your efforts are noticed by others.
