Re: Anyone rolling full Linux Workstation for 2D/3D work?
@fallenskyzero cool! okay yea so you did a full pipeline migration in the end to make it work.

Corporal Hart, Timesplitters fan art redesign
This is a thing I started sketching a while ago, it's been a sort of go to project to open up and push some polygons around when I don't want to deal with my "main" projects.
