Like a fuzz pedal — for graphics.
Inspired by distorted audio effects, Skwig is a tool that creates chaotic yet constrained images. You can draw and change the settings, but you are always at Skwig's mercy. If you want to create orderly visual chaos this is probably the tool for you.
More fun, less control.
A drawing tool that doesn't sweat the details
Inspired by chaotic guitar pedals, that leave the user somewhat hanging on for dear life, Skwig is a tool that creates complex patterns with randomized elements. You can draw and change the settings, but you are always kind of at the mercy of the tool. If you are looking for a way to create chaotic somewhat unhinged drawings, this is probably the tool for you.
Why is this so chaotic?
Sometimes you need a tool that really colors the process, what would metal be without distorted guitars or techno without its strange beeps and boops? Skwig is a tool that only really does one thing, but if you need that thing… Well, you are in the right place.
I mean it is close to what I want, but not quite there…
So change it! It isn't hard.
All of the code for Skwig is always free to use by anyone. Just download it here and I'm sure with a few minutes of fooling around with an AI you will be able to make it do whatever you need. Also if you are a developer and want to make this thing work better. PLEASE! It si kind of a duct-tape and hope situation making this work.
Who should I blame for this monstrosity.
I'm flattered
It is really just me with a huge assist from an afternoon of vibe coding with Chat GPT. If you want to see something serious, check out my portfolio here.
Skwig is a tool for creating patterns and quickly drawing ideas. Think of it like a wipe board, just way more fun. Just draw, something, change the settings and take a screenshot.
