You can now visualize how a color palette distributes across OKHsv, OKHsl, OKLCh and CIELab, and compare 6 distance metrics side by side. Zero dependencies, raw WebGL2.

Took me 3 years to make something I wasn't too embarrassed to share ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Hey y'all.

A South African dev released a blackity black game during BHM and it's currently getting the usual suspects in the reviews.

Imma grab this up myself anyway, but can we all be some chums and help push the racists out of the reviews? ๐Ÿ™‚

The meme of a building falling over being held up by precarious looking sticks. The building is labeled "my mental health" and the sticks are labeled "putting my OCs in situations."

Digital art of OP's character, Monroe and Hayden from Fields of Mistria.

The first panel depicts Monroe sitting on the ground, leaning up against a haybale. He's holding a blue lamb in his arms and singing with his eyes closed. The lyrics are: "may you sail fair to the far fields of fortune, with diamonds and pearls at your head and your feet, and may you need never to banish misfortune..."

the second panel depicts Hayden, leaning against an implied wall. He has a flushed expression, and is holding his hand up to his face. A text box next to him reads: "just came to drop off feed" and the lyrics finish: "may you find kindness in all that you meet".

Digital art of original characters Aran and Tao as kids dresses up for Halloween. Itโ€™s a New York neighborhood with small old houses, a bit worn down and askew, itโ€™s early evening and the sun is setting painting the sky in orange. Aran is dressed as Batman, in a diy costume, and Tao as a ninja turtle (diy costume). Tao is about to ring the doorbell of an old house, while Aran stopped at the side way and is letting a black cat. The house they stopped on is old and a bit worn down, with two carved out pumpkins glowing in the front yard and on the steps. 
From the house window a ghost woman, glowing in green, is looking at Tao as he rings the bell. And a ghost cat glowing in green, is sitting on the ac in front of the window and looks down at Aran petting the living cat. 
The street is otherwise empty and itโ€™s a bit of a nostalgic and melancholic scene but also warm.
