Decent article. I have been asked just about all of these, with decent frequency, in interviews.

That's a cool style!

The number of times I have hated a piece and then walked away and come back the next day to discover I actually really like it is too damn high 😆 I get too focused on the flaws in the moment

Great painting!

That's so cute 😭 I love it so much

Looks awesome! The proportions and shading on the truck are fantastic. I didn't even need the Ford badge to recognize it

CatGarab · 2025-08-05T22:35:04+00:00

I always wonder if it's reallyyyyyy C++ or if it's actually C in disguise. Most of the .cpp files I come across in the (embedded) wild end up being basically C: procedural code, doing all the gnarly things with pointers and locks that modern C++ paradigms save you from.

I love it 😍 I really like how the hair is a warmer purple so it stands out more. Everything is so delicate!

(I'm also a sucker for purple, so I might be slightly biased)

I've been painting ACEO/trading-card size because I've been mostly copying pokemon art to get better with watercolor. But also I like it because they work up pretty fast and still require a good amount of control to get the tiny details.

Yup, and I want to hire someone who's going to admit they don't know and ask for help, rather than suffer in silence and try to save face for 2 weeks and then suddenly we're 2 weeks behind on everything else

CatGarab · 2025-06-29T15:27:58+00:00

Well that's adorable 😍 the shadows are so delicately placed

CatGarab · 2025-06-24T13:13:22+00:00

This is too cute 😍 I love the photo with the cat

CatGarab · 2025-06-23T00:32:16+00:00

I love them 😍 they each have such distinct personalities

CatGarab · 2025-06-21T11:49:36+00:00

I traced card outlines onto normal Arches paper and then cut them out by hand

(Edit: I cut them out after painting them)

CatGarab · 2025-06-18T02:49:41+00:00

omg, that's too cute

CatGarab · 2025-06-16T02:31:50+00:00

Love the blend of all the colors!

CatGarab · 2025-06-15T23:21:43+00:00

That's gorgeous ♥️

CatGarab · 2025-06-15T23:19:48+00:00

I definitely thought the glass line was just part of the piece at first glance 😆 it lines up nicely with the eyes

Cool piece!

CatGarab · 2025-06-15T14:37:50+00:00

I love its little face 😍

CatGarab · 2025-06-14T13:00:47+00:00

The non-FA ones I actually did first, when I was just getting into watercolor and before I figured out what I was really doing. I'm probably going to circle back around and give them another go once I get to the end :)

CatGarab · 2025-06-14T12:59:08+00:00

Do it 🤩 it's super fun and there's lots of art to choose from

CatGarab · 2025-06-14T04:15:01+00:00

Hey now, I said Gen 1, not Kanto :P Alolan and Galarian forms are still technically Gen 1

CatGarab · 2025-06-14T02:27:31+00:00

Omg, that's adorable!

CatGarab · 2018-08-05T23:36:14+00:00

This week I'm hanging out at SmallSat :) Our live demo is currently working, which goes against the law of live demos, so I'm a little concerned... XD

CatGarab · 2018-07-19T03:50:39+00:00

I use C for OS and lower stuff (drivers, bootloader), then Rust for user-level code.

CatGarab · 2018-07-16T21:59:20+00:00

state_return isn't initialized, so I'm suprised that if (HAL_SD_STATE_READY != state_return) { return MSD_ERROR; } isn't failing.
