Sketchbook Saturday #3

-

 G'morning folks! Michael here, and welcome to another Sketchbook Saturday!

And today, we bring you this:


As well as our first non-digital entry!


So, a bit more perspective practice. We wanted to try and draw a face from multiple angles, but felt the need to ease ourselves in a bit, so that's how Amalia got the idea of using a balloon with a stylized face drawn on it. Means the shape is the same from every side, but you have to think about where the facial features go as you turn it.

And then down below, well.... at work this week, we stood in for a colleague who did his back in, and unfortunately ended up with an incredibly boring task that involves putting a workpiece in a machine, pressing a button and just..... 

Waiting.

With nothing else to do.

So we -gave- ourselves something to do and did some doodling! With a ball-point pen, mind you. Which is terrifying, when you're used to digital! No undo button, no way to erase or paint over your lines. Very scary. But it worked out! Some more boxes and pyramids, and then "The Dork".

That actually came about because we played some Pistol Whip the other day and had this stuck in our head:


Yeh.

And because we were quite bored and..... ourselves, we turned it into a silly pun. Hooray!


But yeah, that's it for this week, folks. Until next time, our dearest fellow Wombatants, stay safe, be -very- afraid of the dork and have a good one!

Our visit to Thomann, 13th of June '25

  Howdy folks!   So last month, we visited Thomann! Again!  It was our second time around. We didn't have a blog to write about it last time. But this time we do, so we shall tell you a little about our visit and the stuff we brought home with us! 😀    Well, to get us started, if you don't know, Thomann is a musical instrument and equipment vendor. One of the biggest, actually. They're mainly known for their online store , which has a rather chunky selection of various bits and bobs, from really fancy guitars and PA systems to little curios like this .  And no, this blog post isn't sponsored or anything. We just wanna tell you about our visit.😉    So anyway, a little curiosity when you want to visit Thomann's actual shop location is that it's..... *really* out of the way. It's in a small settlement called "Treppendorf", here in central Germany. The funny thing is: We actually live only about an hour's drive away, and yet we really can't g...

Rollerskates, graffiti and a god-tier soundtrack: Bomb Rush Cyberfunk

... is what we'd recommend you do with this game.   Heya, Michael here.   So, a little while back, we found that the original Jet Set Radio was on Steam.   This was quite the thing for us to learn you see, because JSR is one of those games we've often heard about, but had never had a chance to actually play.   A shame, because it's got a much vaunted soundtrack, and unsurprisingly for a musician, we're are a bit of a connoisseur when it comes to games with good soundtracks!   But yeah, we learned it had been on Steam for years, and was actually gonna get taken off the store, soon (it has been, by now).   So needless to say, we bought it while we could, and jumped right into it, having an absolute.....   .....ly awful time with the gameplay.   Yeah, sorry if you're a big fan of JSR, but you've gotta face it, man, it's the nostalgia doing it for ya. Because hopping into it as a fresh player in modern times? Maaaan, it feels clunky as all heck t...

Our music listening habits

-

    Greetelings everyone, Amalia here.    So, we figured that, seeing as we're a musician of.... indeterminate genre, some of you might (hopefully) be interested in what sort of music we actually listen to, and our general habits with that.   Now, you'd perhaps think that someone who makes music themselves would probably listen to tunes 24/7 and live and breathe music, but that's actually quite far from the reality, here.   See, we don't actually listen to music all that much in life, in the grand scheme of things. Typically, in the mornings, we prefer the quiet, enjoying some peaceful time for contemplation and meditation.   Our workplace is an industrial firm, but unlike many such places, the higher-ups don't want radios playing around the shop floors. Seems daft to us, since it's known to increase productivity in those kinds of settings. But alas.   Now, when we get home in the evenings, that's our prime time for music listening. When we're get...
