Hello fine #Fedifolk ^__^

This illustration is inspired by a #documentation on the benefits of returning #wolves to #Scotland, they could hold the deer (and sheep!?) population in check so natural forests could regrow! Just imagine the #highlands a huge forest!

Enjoyed this? Consider tipping me! ☕ ✨ https://ko-fi.com/jfml_jfml

Vector illustration with outlines (new terrain for me!) showing a bird's eye view of a rural landscape with lots of forest that forms the head of a wolf (the ears are mountains, the eyes and nose are lakes etc). It's night with a moon, no cars but public transport (train and bus). Around it is written: „Return the wolf, let nature heal.“
Detail of the illustration showing a lone, howling wolf atop the lake that is the wolf's nose as well as a stone circle and a night bus on the way to the village.
Detail of the illustration showing one of the lakes that form the wolf's eyes with a village next to it.
Detail of the illustration described before showing a river valley with a train going over a river, the ocean with a ferry, some solar turbines and the moon.

Off the Record

As a kid, I found this image super fascinating. At some point, maybe around 12-13, I got a camera for a birthday or so. This was probably the first image I tried to re-create using a very cheap, fixed-focus camera shooting on 110-film. Imagine my disappointment when the prints came back from processing.

One of the greatest LP sleeves.

Based on the original artwork by the UK artist Terry Pastor.

Succesfully completed the #7DRL challenge.

I made a weird *takes deep tag-breath* #abstract #vector #roguelike #psychedelic #puzzle #arcade #game that feels all #trippy and Jeff Minteresque. So far people have been calling it "puzzling but strangely addictive".

I'm very proud of the way it looks, sounds and feels, and I really feel I've leveled up as a #gamedev in the process.

Might also be nice to mention I made it in #panda3d , the best game engine in the world.

A black void. Walls made of brightly colored, glowing lines are seen top-down. There is a small blue triangle, presumably the player character. There's also a big spiral made of glowing lines in a smaller room. A highly stylized logo, also made of glowing lines reads "Super Locust" in the corner, a style reminiscent of demoscene logos.

I haven't posted much lately due to mental and physical health issues that make it hard to do much except close my eyes and rest...but thought I'd share something that I'm slowly trying to finish in Sketchbook Pro with digital pencil brushes. It's from a series that I started around this time last year I think. I'll try and post some progress images soon.

Highly detailed vector mandala drawing that is coloured white with black outlines on a black background. It represents a stylized eight spoked wheel similar to a buddhist wheel of dhamma with many organic shapes that form patterned layers of smaller mandalas within the whole that connect and flow into one another.

Illustrator vs. Inkscape
Image tracing match

I had to vectorize an illustration I have made for a client, and first tried Illustrator, with really poor results (as you can see below), and this despite trying every possible combination of settings. I just never looked even halfway decent.
Then I tried #inkscape and to my surprise it produced an excellent result, even with the default settings!
Ok… I shouldn't be surprised actually 😀

An image showing the black&white tracing result through both Adobe Illustrator and Inkscape. The left image is all jagged, and lacks both precision and clarity. The right image, produced with Inkscape looks almost like the original.

Hello Fedipals! 💖

It's almost time for my bi-yearly #newsletter!

If you haven't signed up yet and would be interested in me #writing about what I've been up to and getting my illustrations to your inbox now is the perfect time:

https://jfml.eu/newsletter/

The first newsletter can be read here: https://jfml.eu/newsletter-01/ (that one was mostly German, the new one will be English)

#art #illustration #creative #DigitalArt #diary #photo #photography #design #illustration #vector #travel #MastoArt
Sneak peak of my second newsletter: it shows a photo of original Space Invader sketches, followed by a text about how I went to a videogame exhibition in Edinburgh. The next picture is a photo of my project „Utopia Still“ being exhibited at the Chaos Communication Congress in Hamburg followed by a text about setting up the exhibition and being at the congress.
Envelope character with a long letter coming out of it that is also a character on a pink background with more envelope characters, some of whom are cat envelopes?

New blog post: how to pull web logs from #Caddy into #Clickhouse using #Vector.

scottstuff.net/posts/2025/02/2

Clickhouse is an open-source (plus paid, as usual) columnar DB. This lets you do ad hoc SQL queries to answer questions as well as create Grafana dashboards to show trends, etc.

scottstuff.net · Getting Caddy logs into Clickhouse via VectorAs mentioned before, I’ve been using the Caddy web server running on a couple machines to serve this site. I’ve been dumping Caddy’s access logs into Grafana’s Loki log system, but I haven’t been very happy with it for web logs. It’s kind of a pain to configure for small uses (a few GB of data on one server), and it’s slow for my use case. I’m sure I could optimize it one way or another, but even without the performance issues I’m still not very happy with it for logs analysis. I’ve had a number of relatively simple queries that I’ve had to fight with both Loki and Grafana to get answers for. In this specific case, I was trying to understand how much traffic my post on the Minisforum MS-A2 was getting and where it was coming from, and it was easier for me to grep through a few GB of gzipped JSON log files than to get Loki to answer my questions. So maybe it’s not the right tool for the job and I should look at other options. I’d been meaning to look at Clickhouse for a while; it’s an open source (plus paid cloud offering) column-store analytical DB. You feed it data and then use SQL to query it. It similar to Google BigQuery, Dremel, etc, and dozens of other similar systems. The big advantage of column-oriented databases is that queries that only hit a few fields can be really fast, because they can ignore all of the other columns completely. So a typical analytic query can just do giant streaming reads from a couple column without any disk seeks, which means your performance mostly just ends up being limited by your disks’ streaming throughput. Not so hot when you want to fetch all of the data from a single record, but great when you want to read millions of rows and calculate aggregate statistics. I managed to get Clickhouse reading Caddy’s logs, but it wasn’t quite as trivial as I’d hoped, and none of the assorted “how to do things like this” docs that I found online really covered this case very well, so I figured I’d write up the process that I used.

Our #vector #portrait of #PierreBézier is #page1 #searchresult at #Google for years now. Everybody saw it who searched his name in the past 4 years — some users 3 times and more... letmegooglethat.com/?q=Pierre+

Like all of our #SVG #artworks it's not made with oldest #Adobe #software #scams, but #FreeSoftware. So, you have #openaccess to the same #FOSS tools we're working with: #Inkscape

Here is a great video about #CAD development in France: #Unisurf...
