@fullywoolly@mastodon.social thanks! I'll work harder next time. I'm using an A4 hobby comic paper, so the drawing area is 220x150mm (this is the part I've cropped). It is possible to cram more details in there, especially with better pen control, but I'm nearly at my limit xD This format is common for doujin manga, but professional manga artists draw on a significantly larger format. I love computer museums 🥺 I should go to Bletchley park again... Maybe I should get in touch with someone from there and ask to program a very old computer or two. 🤔 Sadly they run a pro (?) AI exhibition these days 😓 @icm@mastodon.sdf.org

@nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt I actually wasn't aware of doujin manga or doujin for that matter. Basically amateur/social drawing? Such a cool concept. My local tool library has "community threads" where everyone brings their own projects and we just sit around and chat while we work. It's nice to socialize and get help from people more experienced. The LCM used to allow for people to submit jobs to an old Cray. It looks like icm has remote access to some machines https://icm.museum/?recollections

@nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt that AI exhibit is sad. I like that they have resources for learning about cryptography though. That's really fun. Hopefully they'll let you program some of their systems.
