FlectionCost , my self indulgent mecha worldbuilding thing (originally Metalosphere). This isnt an exhaustive list of influences, and i definitely forgot something critical ... oh well

Freedin Mettle @freedinmettle.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

I had intended to do a full vignette with the Roobar mech, make a merc model, a garage for (diagetic) speed modelling future mechs. and just diving head first into FlectionCost as a worldbuilding project with a mech pilot as a kind of muse to drive more art -

"Roobar", is now a rebel #mech, hence the more cobbled together obvious mechanical design + exposed modern day vehicle parts (engine block + drive belts). Gunpods and ball camera from modern aircraft. Pile-driver for fighting kaiju and piercing military armour #blender #bnpr #メカ #3D

Finally working permanent nightshifts instead of rotating nightshifts, and it's so much better. But damn i wish i could just work on art projects instead, and not have to choose between art or reading / watching / playing something

Toying around with the dev name for what is probably my next (and ongoing) art project

"Flection Cost" block letter stylised title in vibrant acid red and green, over science diagrams and an aeroplane graveyard

“This machine is born of your very essence, Temperance. Your blood courses through its veins. A synthetic like you ought to beam with pride!” Part 2 of the Prologue to #PROJECTMARGRAVE, my yuri mecha comic, is now available to read for FREE!! 🔽

Temperance, a robotic Arc-Synth, reaches wistfully for someone walking off into the distance. Behind her stands a prototype Dragoon mech, towering above the two figures. Its eyes flash with a malevolent green glow.

WIP finally updated my blender for the first time in years, so a fun little project making a ripoff MG Zeke (possibly my favourite mecha design) rigged the blocking

one of my favourite styles of spacecraft design

I wanted to do #creaturedesign for a long time now. The oculorb ( #dnd ) sounded neat, and i figured a bunch of eyes would be an easy start. I could not be bothered placing all the eyes by hand so theyre just particles o7 . #blender #b3d #monster

Remember Kaguya from last decade? I had this silly idea to use the Chika dance for rotoscoping practice. The pilot does a dance routine as their startup routine (chaos ensues). I was delayed by work, procrastinated a lot, now I just wanna move on. #blender3D #bnpr #mecha #メカ

please just let Gilgamesh and Enkidu be happy

Freedin Mettle @freedinmettle.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

I might have 1or2 lingering Environment things to eventually show. Otherwise i've just got to finish up that rotoscoping practice piece, update software and rebuild my workflow. Then we enter a new exciting chapter of random art projects

Freedin Mettle @freedinmettle.bsky.social · 02/11/2025

Thankyou for the sponsored room expansion commission @jeanfaymas.bsky.social x.com/jeanfaymas . Returning to this space was a great way to bring this chapter full circle. It was a lot of fun seeing the lore website art and the reveal of new Vershion members. Enjoy!

Freedin Mettle @freedinmettle.bsky.social · 03/03/2025

little practice project to get back in to the swing of things. Ended up delaying and redoing it. the IK is a bit jank, il fix it for the next project. Are custom #mecha 'Boss Intros' like this, something people would be interested in commissioning? #blender3D #bnpr #mecha #メカ rkgk wip etc

quickly reworked an old design for a rocket tower spacecraft, for use in mothership rpg. it has biotech heat radiators. biblically accurate rocket office building? #blender #b3d #spacecraft #3dmodeling #mothership

I had the pleasure of working on a super cool 3D environment idea for @isaacorva.bsky.social , thankyou so much! i cant wait until the crownuts get to see more >.> but i dont want to spoil anything

Freedin Mettle @freedinmettle.bsky.social · 28/12/2024

Ok, ive ported over my history from xitter. everything now on is actual new stuff. planning on keeping this super informal, but i will also post future comm stuff. also planning on posting art projects that im working on with friends, and concept art for ttrpgs (i will probably never get to play)

Freedin Mettle @freedinmettle.bsky.social · 28/12/2024

eventually i will return to this silly little project. the meme is so outdated, which will make it clear how long ive procrastinated #blender3D #bnpr #mecha #メカ

an environment i made earlier this year, for Jets @ jeanfaymas 60s tv show themed birthday

Freedin Mettle @freedinmettle.bsky.social · 14/12/2024

I finally played Bloodborne , it was amazing, but I decided to save the optional areas for a new character. and then I finally got back to and finished my first run of Armored Core VI, soo good (*abide with rubicon*). I want to see and make fanart of these games

Freedin Mettle @freedinmettle.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

i modeled and rigged the robot suit for the Jetpack mascot / chat character for @ / jeanfaymas for vrchat. (its got several different variant skins too)

Freedin Mettle @freedinmettle.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

i also made some digital smoke and mirrors effects and animated the season 3D stream opening scene

Freedin Mettle @freedinmettle.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

my first ever proper commission, an environment for Jets @ / jeanfaymas

Freedin Mettle @freedinmettle.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

i made a few little models themed for @ /jeanfaymas,

Freedin Mettle @freedinmettle.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

another speed mecha modeling project i made last year. I quite like chicken walkers, but i made it hop rather than walk because it seemed better for balance (and why not). (i wish i didnt make the main cannon twitch) #blender #mecha #robot #メカ

Freedin Mettle @freedinmettle.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

Super robot isnt really my thing, not sure why i decided to try this last year but i like the head part. #blender #mecha #robot #メカ

Freedin Mettle @freedinmettle.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

Hey again Posterity. Okay im going to speed through the rest of my twitter posts (i wasnt there long). then i want to get back to mecha and random projects, no pressure stuff

Freedin Mettle @freedinmettle.bsky.social · 21/10/2024

this Variable Standing Tank was a mecha speed modeling project from last year. I plan to use a modified version of this for future animations

a quick microchip model, i should do more of these mini projects in the future

Freedin Mettle @freedinmettle.bsky.social · 19/10/2024

mini project, an artist rendition of a wooden tiger (a 4D torus). i wanted to show a 4D object as something other than a wireframe model, its confusingly fun to look at. which way is it rotating?

Later i made the mech much taller to add to the creepy spider feeling. also decided it was an extreme mobility search and rescue mech, so the height helped. im a big fan of synthetic muscles for machines, hence the legs. This was a test of the jiggle physics, for the antenna and hanging cables

Freedin Mettle @freedinmettle.bsky.social · 19/10/2024

This was the start of my attempt at a spider mech, back when it was kinda cute and little

Freedin Mettle @freedinmettle.bsky.social · 19/10/2024

Some old old 3D mecha work, the style was pretty accurate to what i wanted

Freedin Mettle @freedinmettle.bsky.social · 19/10/2024

Hey Posterity, so shouting into the void seems to make me more productive with my art projects. I make a mix of mostly 3D models / animations / environments, in a variety of styles; realism, low poly PSX, and faux retro anime. A mix of mecha, scifi, fantasy, and some experimental stuff.
