I've been making a big push to be more productive lately, so I've been looking up kanban apps. In the current era though, I'm getting really tired of cloud services and subscriptions, and a lot of the offline kanban apps didn't do what I want. ...so I just made my own from scratch!

Even though it's pretty basic, I'm still pretty happy with how it turned out! Here are some bullet points: - It's completely offline, local and AI-free - Custom columns and tags - You can set up recurring tasks to automove from one column to another after a set period

To elaborate on the "Default Excluded Tags" thing, I implemented it because, while I primarily use impart to organize my own art, I at least wanted to have the option to organize comms, trades and fanart I've gotten as well, so now I can see all that art side by side with my own if I feel like it :)

For the past few months, I've been working on a little gallery organization tool so that I can finally organize my art by character/species, and I figured I'd make it publicly available in case anyone else wanted to do the same! arastryx.itch.io/impart

I guess this is a good time to say that I have indeed joined art fight this year. I originally considered skipping it, but figured "ah what the hell" and joined anyway. Was thinking if I don't end up drawing anything, I can just join spec later on, but lo and behold, I've already made an attack haha

What's the general consensus on species-as-characters for Art Fight? I'm starting to run out of meaningful characters to make pages for, but I do have lots of open species that I'm really passionate about but for which no specific character exists

For context, outside of my characters, every time I draw one of my random species, I don't have a specific character in mind, I'm usually just drawing like A Valek or A Dravoga or whatever. I like having the freedom to just draw whatever, but I worry that might be a bit too vague for Art Fight

I do have lots of ideas for improvements though! At some point I want to try slicing the maw into individual segments so that it gives the illusion of peering around the head. I could also be way more thorough with shading the butterflies but both of these are too high effort for me right now lol

Today marks one year since I released my gallery organization tool, Impart. To celebrate, the app has been updated with Linux support! arastryx.itch.io/impart

For those who aren't familiar, it's essentially an offline art tagging tool! It provides a few quality of life features for managing your gallery like batching source files with images and a filename search that doesn't take forever. You can read more about it here! bsky.app/profile/stor...

Unfortunately, the used laptop fell through, so instead, I'll be doing plan B, which is just biting the bullet and setting up WSL on my tower (which I'll do after I upgrade to W11). I've got a busy next few months in front of me, so it might be a while, but I haven't forgotten about this!!!!
