Okay so this might be a hot take, but I wish ZZZ's Thirens could be more evenly designed. Some like Pulchra or Zhao really lean into the animal influence, but then like Ellen is just a girl with half a shark coming out of her back.

The weirdest thing about starting ZZZ now is like I'll be playing Anby or something in the beginning of the campaign and her kit is like "I swing a sword and sometimes make lightning", then I'll try one of the events with the new characters and they're like "I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROACHING"

I dunno what they're feeding the animators over at MercurySteam but god _dammit_ I want some.

"Man I'd love to upgrade to a big boi GPU somed-"

Four models of the RTX 5090, now literally more expensive than their model number, going anywhere from $5400 USD to $6130 USD

Through twist of fate, I've ended up with a Dell Precision 5560 for $240; 189 for the machine, and 40 for a new battery. Its specs are better than my old Latitude but its bigger, louder, battery life is meh, & it has a cluster of dead pixel. Flip for profit, or keep and unload the Latitude? 🤔

That's better. Looks like I missed a couple frames compensating for the mocap jitter tho 🙃 #lowpoly #mocap #indiedev

Getting hardcore into Transformers the last year or so definitely has made Peter Cullen's passing hit harder, but even before that, his work on Toonami was always absolutely peak in my book. Made everything sound so cool. Those bumpers permanently rewired my expectations for trailers. Perfection.

Sometimes mocap works great first try. Other times.... 🙃

Printed my roommate and my favorite decks and we played a game. I lost 😭

In my defense they're running Suicune EX so I was at type disadvantage.

I make all my art on a $250 eWaste laptop, running Linux, with free open source software, using just a trackpad because I'm p̶o̶o̶r̶ principled.

A busted Latitude 7440 running Zorin OS with Blender and GIMP open. Workflow of champions.

New character! Azumi's roommate Sylvie! She loves messing with tech and scrounging for anything corps have thrown away. #lowpoly #ps1 #retro #indiedev #b3d

Too lazy to bother with lip syncing so I'm considering the Metal Gear Solid 1 method of dialog animation:

Very slight update to Azumi's main outfit texture. Doubt you can notice but the algorithm must be fed. #lowpoly #originalcharacter #retro #ps1 #b3d

Added a bit more detail to her fur, some highlights to the seams on her top to make em pop a bit more, and cleaned up the belt buckle a bit. Idk I just love this outfit

I changed my laptop's system font to the PS1 logo font, which looks kitsch as hell and breaks everything I've ever learned about respectable typography but I love it regardless

16k views makes this my most successful Azumi animation to date, thank you all so much!

My latest Azumi animation has over 16,000 views which is kinda crazy

My favorite thing about #lowpoly is how you can imply so much with so little.

Comparison of the initial animatic to the final animation. Not much changed, just some camera angles and timing (which I tweaked here so they match up better). Overall the vision was pretty clear from the start. #lowpoly #WIP #retro #ps1 #b3d #indieanimation

Oh boy looks like Adobe is doing more garbage! I know GIMP gets a bad rap for being ugly but you can make the layout look normal in like 30 seconds

A slightly modified UI layout for GIMP 3.2. Basically the same as Photoshop's interface, still only $0
