Hello meow.social, it's #introduction time!

I'm Emil (he/him), an artist based in Poland. I draw animals, animal people, and occasionally just people.

I love working in traditional media (markers, watercolor, ink), but I do digital sometimes too.

I have a lot of hobbies that I pick up and drop at random, like writing, sewing and sculpting.

Like many people coming in from .art, unfortunately I'm not here purely out of choice, but that won't stop me from trying to make myself at home in a new community.

Below are assorted all-time favorite works of mine.

the fact that using hexagons to tile a 16x9 viewport makes the ratio of width to height much closer to 2x1 can't possibly be a coincidence

16/9 is very suspiciously close to sqrt(3) and the difference between the major/minor diameters of a hexagon is sqrt(3)/2 so that checks out pretty well

I genuinely do wonder if the display ratio 16/9 was chosen to be close to sqrt(3) because of some weird neuro-optics research or it's just a happy coincidence

the beginning of what will hopefully be a long journey: kassy documenting themself developing for the nes, in such a way that hopefully others can learn from it

in this episode i do a lot of explaining about how the tools work and then get exactly far enough to produce something mesen recognizes as an nes rom. i'll probably write an episode 0 that explains some of the concepts i'm currently assuming the reader knows about; i just wanted to get this off the ground for now

Ever heard that Wing Commander story where the memory extender error message was changed to "Thank you for playing Wing Commander" to conceal a crash? Well, that doesn't actually happen in any version of the game. This article gets to the bottom of the myth:
