Trump is a regular Ralph Wiggum…

See a leaf, post a leaf #Leafposting
Some leaves. The focus being the underside of a heart shaped green leaf with burgundy accents and with water droplets beaded on top of it. There’s also a yellow leaf just off frame at left with droplets too. The big brown leaf at bottom centre, from a giant maple I believe, was just there to photobomb.

Put concisely… LEGEND: Pink = hell yeah! Green = pretty sure I could greenlight this Blue = jury’s out, need more research! 😈 Half-filled squares = some aspects or conditions work for me, others don’t, to varying degrees. Only one solid kinkgo but potential for many more = I’m a very kinky boy!
Filled out Kinkgo card for Volt, with most squares a hit, and one solid bingo achieved.

I love making #digitalart that looks—as close as I can get—to traditional painting. The principles of working with traditional media have served me well. I’m proud of what I’ve been able to paint in virtual media, and the style I’ve developed. Always striving to do better and exceed my last work.

Love sketching on toned paper! So fun to see a drawing come to fully rendered life so quickly when you just add shadows. And then the highlights just top it all off beautifully.

Colours not at all final, but this little guy is on the go as a smaller “quickie” pattern to take a break from the Moon Dragon. Original art reference from @verdantsculpts.bsky.social. Fans of his work will prob recognize this one! One of my faves of his sculpture work. Need to add his back fronds.

Finally sorted out how to plot the shading and details on this sucker, ie colour choices, blended threads, etc. The test stitching will help refine but for now I’m moving on from those bloody wings! #crossstitch #dragon #flosstube

Okay, if you’ve wanted to get into 3D modelling there’s never been a better time to do so! I basic-rigged up this roughed out dragon in no time flat with zero experience in Blender. There’s so many great videos and helpful posts out there to guide you. Don’t be intimidated, give it a try! #blender

So it turns out Blender isn’t as difficult to learn as I feared it might be. Not to say it’s *easy*, but having a more technical background like mine definitely makes it a smoother ride. I’m having fun practicing rigging! NB: this is Blender for Mac, running on iPad via Jump Desktop to my Mac mini.
