It's #PortfolioDay once more and alas I have no full portfolio to share, as I am busy making new things and falling foul of perfectionism, lol. But for now, I hope you enjoy this sample of environment concepts :)
I got the matte PLA to work :D This printed really well with hardly any supports and they snapped off so clean! I might try printing in a slightly different orientation to get a better finish on the topline of the head and nose, but otherwise I am delighted :D #NomadSculpt #BambuLab #3DPrint

Y’know what is really nice? Remembering that I enjoy writing. About events. About animation. About creative stuff.

Tried a more stylistic dog this evening. I’m still not quite there for making what is in my mind’s eye…but I’m getting there :) And still having fun with it. #NomadSculpt #3DSculpting #3DModelling

Had various dreams last night, including one where I met a lovely fella at an art class or life drawing session.

My subconscious is cruel.

I have discovered my super power.

I am so inconsequential that I might as well be invisible. I had about a third of my hair coloured ELECTRIC PINK yesterday.

My power is so effective that none of my coworkers noticed today lol

Slow realisation why it has been hard to juggle all my ‘stuff’ when I don’t actually have a lot of stuff.

When I lived alone, I had all my own space. Enough space for my stuff to have its proper place.

Moving back home meant squeezing a whole life into a single room. Nothing is allowed to breathe

And the finished dog :3 Its lovely to just chip away at sculpts, tweaking and improving in increments and then seeing it come together.

This ended up *less* stylised than I actually intended, because I got swept up in details instead of shapes. But I learned a lot for the next sculpt. #NomadSculpt

More #NomadSculpt practice. I made a reference and then kinda departed from it lol #3DModelling #3DSculpting

Had some more practice in Nomad Sculpt :3 I am very much looking forward to trying more complex animals and eventually human-oid shapes. #NomadSculpt #3dSculpt

Hehe wearing a mask on the bus is great. It protects me (and thus my vulnerable dad) but people don’t want to sit next to me either xD

Not a fan of the new Affinity branding 😒 I haven’t looked into the new (supposedly free) version yet but I just hope the previous version is supported a little longer. I paid for it.

If you happen to be in London, I recommend the Ursula K Le Guin exhibition over at the Architecture Association School of Architecture (I don’t think they are on bsky yet). Its a fab little exhibition about the maps of the worlds Le Guin created.

The bookshop is also a gem ❤️ #ArtSky

My lil indulgent trip to London has not gone according to plan entirely. I caught a nasty cold at the office, so I have been trying to do what I can to keep going.

HOWEVER some of my plan has worked. I’m feeling all refreshed, full of energy from the city and more <3

I updated the lil bat. Hopefully the mouth and fangs will print better on the next pass, plus I gave him some teeny tiny lil eyebrows and a lil grin :) #NomadSculpt #3DSculpt #3DPrint

Lil bat has been printed in nice eSun ‘chameleon’ filament. Black base with a pretty blue-green shimmer.

He is actually printed as two pieces, my first time setting up a model for construction after print :D I’m getting there.

I am looking forward to reaching dizzying heights of sculpting knowledge in Nomad Sculpt. For now, you can see my silly attempts.

This lil guy will be thrown at the 3D printer later :)
