recalling this time I was at an event and wound up with my friend‘s significant other after-hours where I proceeded to grill them on what their intentions with my friend were I probably didn’t need to nor should I have done that but they split up shortly after.. strange recollection.

Doing a mish-mash of mediums. 3D model base in ZBrush, rough concept turn around in Procreate. Already made some changes while modeling in ZBrush but she’s coming along!

something fascinating about rolling a boulder uphill is the anticipation of it speeding down the other side when you finally reach the summit

It’s funny how seeing someone in person can refresh your perspective. There are still things to work on, but it’s beginning to feel like I’m (finally) breaking through the surface tension.

Another day wishing more people had the opportunity to watch Earth Girl Arjuna at a developmental age. Watching at 19 really added some depth to my understanding of what keeps modern civilization and society going, and what it would take to break it.

More details. Need to start putting things together for review. Wish the SVG normals would just behave correctly, alas: hand refined texture extractions as a mesh.

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI
recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

Spent a bit more time refining the base shapes according to feedback, need to place some fly aways and then off to high poly sculpting.

Dude the internet is so cool. Today I went from feeling like a big ole smear on the ground to connecting with another artist all the way in Europe and spending the day co-working together on discord. Like what the heck. That's so cool!! I love artists!!!

I’ve been enjoying having a smaller account. It’s easier to recognize usernames and icons of people who regularly interact. Having conversations instead of feeling the pressure to promote something is a relief as well. And not feeling pressured to behave or appear a certain way. I’m a big weirdo.

Self-reflection has led me to understand a lot of my apprehension to do something has been undermined by stressing about the outcome. I trap myself in my head worried about doing things, "the right way," instead of appreciating my own approach and techniques as unique and great in their own way.

Hello #PortfolioDay! I'm a 3D artist specializing in characters and props with a range of experience spanning from animated programming, YouTube series, PBR workflows and continuing to push 3D printing boundaries with color miniatures and on-screen replicas! I can't show everything but here is some!

“Don’t go out if you’re in pain then,” is so ignorant. I’m always in pain. If I didn’t push myself to smile through it I’d never go out. Very frustrating being made to feel guilty when I can’t keep up like I’m an annoyance and not worth compassion, biting back tears from the embarrassment and shame.

I sometimes think about how very sentimental things have ~gone missing~ when it’s much more likely that: - someone I trusted to come into my home stole them - someone got in without me knowing and stole them Both options suck. But I’m very careful with memorabilia and they aren’t here anymore.

Wound up using a mid-poly base to bake textures and finally hooked up the rough bases in Blender. Wanted to confirm seams wouldn’t be visible before doing a hand painting cleanup pass.

Perhaps someone can advise.. I always wind up having an error with normals.. everything else is OK! But I'm getting artefacts on the edges of the ears. Using SP with 0.01 bake range. LP/HP mesh are nearly identical.

Had to try my hand at @rubberross.bsky.social mascot a few years ago! It was supposed to be 3D printed in color, but things fell through. 😅 So now he's just here looking for a fight with some scrub lords. #3dart

An old classmate of mine introduced me to Tekkonkinkreet. If you’re into layout or incredibly detailed backgrounds, I’d say this film is on par with Paprika. 💯

It's been 10 years since Monty passed. There were times I wasn't sure I'd make it this far, but I'm glad I'm here because I have witnessed so many of you achieve such amazing feats in his honor. To his friends and fans, he was already proud of you. You are all his legacy now. ❤️

Oh yeah! A production I worked on as a Character Modeler won an Emmy this year. “Marvel Studios secured its first-ever documentary Emmy Award with “Stan Lee,” which traces his life from his challenging upbringing to the meteoric rise of Marvel Comics and is told in the voice of the Disney Legend.”
