[`PROJECT SPG`](@/project-spg.md) is an art project I've begun a couple years
|
||
|
|
ago, though I haven't produced a ton.
|
||
|
|
The core concept is simple : using a lot of Gimp filters.
|
||
|
|
Previously, when producing pictures in Gimp, I've relied on the pencil to
|
||
|
|
create pixel-art stuff.
|
||
|
|
As a challenge to myself, I decided to minimize my use of manual tools, and
|
||
|
|
instead rely on Gimps filters and selection tools.
|
||
|
|
I've still only brushed the outer edge of it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As I wanted to publish something in the 6th issue of [Tilde Town
|
||
|
|
Zine](http://tilde.town/~zine/), and faced with very short time, I've decided
|
||
|
|
to create a new piece for this project.
|
||
|
|
My original plan was very different, but a busy month ensured I didn't have
|
||
|
|
time to complete it peacefully, so I put it on standby.
|
||
|
|
Instead, I made the (currently redacted) `TSS-001`.
|
||
|
|
I am unfortunately under very strict orders to not divulge any information
|
||
|
|
about it yet.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
However, there are still news that I can publish about this project : I've
|
||
|
|
created a page on [Tilde.Town](https://tilde.town) to showcase the publicly
|
||
|
|
available ones.
|
||
|
|
Each art piece is sorted and put into precise categories.
|
||
|
|
Moreover, they are all composed of a picture and some text.
|
||
|
|
On my computer, they are all organized in a structured folder, with README.md
|
||
|
|
and the like.
|
||
|
|
However, I've decided to put it all on a single page here.
|
||
|
|
Indeed, I want to keep my work more manageable by having a "one page equals
|
||
|
|
one topic".
|
||
|
|
But there was still the question on how to display here, preferably with some
|
||
|
|
cool CSS stuff, as I'm trying to do around here.
|
||
|
|
Given the theme of `PROJECT SPG`, I've settled on a "green on black computer"
|
||
|
|
aesthetic.
|
||
|
|
And what better than to having a computer *inside your computer* ?
|
||
|
|
So I created a greyish computer, had it display an overflowing block of
|
||
|
|
contents, and the core of my concept was done.
|
||
|
|
I've added some shadows and reflections on the screen, to better sell the
|
||
|
|
effect.
|
||
|
|
I'm pleased with the end result, although the outer computer is still a work
|
||
|
|
in progress.
|
||
|
|
I want to add a power button and some more texture.
|
||
|
|
But the more important thing is that you may enjoy `PROJECT SPG` immediately,
|
||
|
|
without having to wait for me to get this page in a more ready form.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In due time, `TSS-001` will join its simblings.
|
||
|
|
And from the few information I've got, we've never been closer to said time.
|
||
|
|
I hope to make more in the future, and not only for the Zine.
