It's a silly little quiz, but it would explain why i have a hard time completing personal projects 🥲

Been a minute since i made fanart (or any art teehee), but got motivated by @platinummeg.bsky.social summer outfit! Modeled the floatie from her 'starting soon' screen 🌺

3D render of a ring floatie. It's a purple blue base color with an abstract cat face drawn on one side. The eyes are drawn as a crescent and an X. The eyes and ears are green, the nose and whiskers are pink. All the details have visual wear.

Cosplay art reward from my birthmonth donothon! Drawn by the amazing @halcyonframe.bsky.social! When the Makers requested this, i instantly knew who to ask for the art. I'm a big fan of metroidvania's in general, but have only played the Prime series from it's namesake 😅

A mech for me?! I want to see how many guns fit on it before it stops moving. How big do you think it is? 👀 Designed by the amazing @haonfest.bsky.social 💚

What a wonderful birthday stream 🎂🥰 Doodled everyone who was able to visit as we decided on community rewards from the donothon. Looking forward to these over the summer 🎉 Now back to the cave to prep for debut tomorrow! 💪 (The profile pic is taking me out, i cant take this seriously 😂)

Accidentally learned Live2D deformers can be reorientated and resized by holding ctrl before clicking. Up 'til now i was making divisions to hopefully land where i wanted them ffffffffffffffffffffff- This will speed up view angles but i'm fighting the temptation to go back an 'correct' other parts.

Thank you, everyone, i will start planning a combination cooking / funeral stream. (We are also $25 away from the next stretch goal: an alternate vtuber outfit for all my models, decided by the community!)

Holy moly it's the second day of the donothon and we're already over 60% to our goal! Whenever i start to think i'm asking for too much, the Makers show me how wrong i am 💚

Picking up yet a new skill, welding! Been trying to get into this class the past year, and it's unfortunately underwhelming just practicing lines, but i didn't have to pay for it! Sticking (heh) with it still because metalworking is such a cool thing.

I'm starting a comic series featuring stories from the community! Currently working with a quarterly publishing schedule with help from @higadoyrinon.art for the art. He made this look better than i could imagine. Please enjoy this first episode! 💚 Life in the Shop #1: Painting

A comic featuring two plant alien-looking creatures. An orange one sits by a painting easel, directing a green one towards a pile of pillows surrounded by potted plants.
The green one takes his place, and the orange one gives him a thumbs-up and begins to mix paint.
The green one has a mischievous look, and strikes a sexy pose while the orange one is focused on painting her canvas.
When the orange one peeks out from behind the canvas, the green one resumed their normal sitting pose, an angelic halo is above his head.
This repeats with new poses until the green one is facing backwards, his tailside towards the orange one.
The orange one catches the green one in the act, and throws her brush at him; the green one laughs as the brush bounces off his head.

In awe of all the artists who made fanart of the new Pokemon in a day. What a power to turn a vision into reality so quickly. Anyway, here's some Pokeballs i spent the last couple months on lol They're free throwables in my shop, adding more soon! vgen.co/brynlea/prod...

Recreating the 3D Pokeball models i made two years ago (and adding more!) Should i take artistic liberty in slapping a metallic shader on them, or stick with the standard?

Screenshot of two standard pokeballs side by side. One has a metallic top, displaying a deeper red compared to the standard flat red color.

Happy New Year! 🎉 How did you do on your goals? I forgot about mine within a few months but managed to achieve about half of them! This year for sure, i'm going to focus on getting the missed art and video goals done 💪

2026 goals list, consisting of making a 3D vtuber model, a Live 2D model, making a mechanical drawing, updating shop items, refine the pixel badges from last year, make fanart on a monthly basis, publish a plant video on a quarterly basis, publish a roleplay video, and complete a second college degree.

Payoneer announced a new $30 annual fee for every account that brings in less than $6k annually. Since i'm way below that threshold, i'll be closing the account. This also means my brynleabuilds.itch.io store will stop accepting Paypal payments, and only take credit cards from now on. 🙇

Notice of new fee from Payoneer stating: "On the date of the charge, we look back at your transactions for the past 12 months. If you have received more than 6000 USD in that time, you will not be charged a fee as this will qualify you for a special waiver."
