Mario Breskic : Social Wall

Meine Social‑Media‑Beiträge – offen und ohne Anmeldung

  • Spent a very hot afternoon in the city of two rivers working on my website’s privacy policy: where it is hosted, which CMS it uses, if the plugins should be explained in terms of user privacy.

    I even went so far to ask ChatGPT (which I used to figure this thing out more easily: to be honest, privacy policy in Germany is not just opaque, there are whole industries thriving in this well‑kept opacity) about mentioning the privacy policies of the individual social media providers I am linking to, even if I don’t host their content (mine, actually, but you know what I mean) on my website.

    Doing all of this makes me realize a thing even more: this is serious. I am clearly not a “Liebhaber”, that is, an amateur in this game. I am building my own enterprise here.

    If I would’ve continued to treat the privacy policy as something to be solved later, most likely by overpaying someone for what is a glorified text generator, I would not feel this accomplishment right now.

    Thank you, Germany. You really tried to filter me there 😉

    And you know what? Somehwere while putting this together, it felt like putting together a manual of sorts for my website. And that felt really nice.

    Like now nice it’ll feel to put this laptop away from me, because that damn thing is not exactly cooling me down.

  • Bought a few manga issues

    Zotero finally released their official android app, so I installed that

    Updated my Goodreads

    Had bobas today

    Went back to reading one of my study books, imported it into my Goodnotes so I can make notes

    It is very hot today in Mannheim, so I am thankful for the AC next to me.

  • #Mangas I currently read: Blame!, Neon Genesis, Chainsaw Man, Arte, Vagabond and thanks to fellow sales nerd in the Manga Mafia store in Mannheim, Iʼll read the Dark Souls manga.
    Will add these to my #Goodreads next. Later. Now. #asca

  • Sketching and analysis. I went with an idea and accepted every accident (the shape of the head, the aurora).

    I want to invest more into learning how to draw and paint, because my ambition is above my skills.

    Video for analysis below

    I can see my own lack of grasp of anatomy, even if this is just a fantasy sketch. Also, in a real illustration, the character would be in a better spot, taking care of balance and other design rules.

    Maybe this kind of sketching is about getting an idea out, then taking this sketch and applying the skills of the trade to it? As opposed to a drawing, which is the finished, or rather polished piece.

    Dreaming of Gigerian airbrush landscapes, shapes and volumes, I can see these influencing my tastes in my own sketch here quite a bit.

  • Went around the Mannheim main station last week, looking for street art I could scan. I enjoy this method and its outcomes.

  • Ich reduziere gerade die Menge an „nützlichen“ Werkzeugen, angefangen bei ungefähr 200+ Photoshop‑Pinsel, die ich nie verwendet habe. Sorry, Kyle: das Potenzial fraß meine Kreativität einfach auf, so wie Tutorials einen nur zum Ergebnis des Tutorials zwingen. #asca
