Spent my weekend learning how to work with my printer. I did a #3DPrint of my #Satyr from #CrookedMoon. Really happy with how the details turned out. Need to fine tune the order of operations.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡
Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI
Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.
This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.
A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.
We need to stand up together and speak up.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.
What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

My #OC #satyr for #CrookedMoon is coming along, I made some equipment for him with a dagger and sickle combo with a shepard crook staff. I was inpised by the Pan daggers from #Hades2 for the design.

I love this trend, it's my new mantra when working on anything. Get the base and then refine.

I have also started an #Expedition33 inspired outfit for my new #Satyr #OC. Making more props and assets that I can reuse. And improving my modeling speed. At this point I have mesh and UV's setup plus joints are setup but the skinning still needs work. Gonna do some sculpting in #Zbrush next.

Another #TTRPG I have been looking into has been #Otherscape. I am getting into #cyberpunk #scifi. #Hardsurface isn't my forte but I am working on studying more of it. I wanted to make a healer and defender. I really liked #Lifeweaver from #Overwatch so wanted to make things like that.

#OC I supported and got my source book for #CrookedMoon I made a Cleric of the Harvest who is a male #Satyr who was a Reveler. Both his legs and left arm are artificial limbs. He worships the Horned man of the woods Cernunnos. I am working on a jester costume and maybe a traveling outfit for him

#DND #OC working on a new character and updating a Satyr. Given the crazy world, eating has been very calming. Spending time with Substance Painter and learning better material and stitching tools. #UE5, as the BF says, I'm "dressing my dollies". Which given the state of games isn't wrong.

Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong.
