Hoi! The current pseud stack 😄

This is Zeal here to remind you that you should absolutely finish your current read before jumping to the next one. Don't be like Zeal 😌

Will finish Simulacra and Simulation first and then onto Berger's Ways of Seeing 👀

The Face Tracking in action! It's very reserved in the mouth and brows, more than I thought it would be :0 a struggle as much as it was fun ^^

The things I want to do now are smol and (hopefully) simple x3 I may soon have a dewclaw on my pawbs ;3

Have a great weekend y'all!

Cioran was the first philosopher I ever studied. His works are still the screen through which I filter all philosophy, science, art, and religion.

My one shame is in never having read On the Heights of Despair 😔 Before year's end this will be rectified >:3
On the Heights of Despair, by Emil Cioran.

Yay ^^ I got myself in good shape over in #ChilloutVR! It took patience and tenacity but now i can safely say I love it 🥺I get butterflies when I see myself in a mirror.

I am happy and grateful for all those that inspire and help me <3

The work is never complete... always more to do >:3

Here's a personal artwork of my Avali girl Taluki! It had been over a year since I did any.
I wanted to challenge myself, and had this idea in the back of my head for a long time. I'm quite happy with how this turned out.

Hope you like it!

Imagine being camera shy about being all playful haha couldn't be me :3

I'm sure I'll have something writ there soon, but I'm glad I got to share one last thing before year's end <3

Much love and happy New Year, wah!

Photos taken by @20nik.bsky.social this Saturday night. Lovely sequence of still shots of me chatting with peeps ^-^

I have hardly had time to work on Avis due to work and similar but I'll get to refining and sharing in no time!

Updates! Small changes and two new additions. Added my one mark that I carry across my Avis for the face and a first piece of clothing ^-^

My eyes, I hope, come across sharper uwu I also have now (probably) fit the collar better so at least the next post will have it formed better to my neck :3

Dunno if this actually ever got posted here, or at least by myself here. Doesn't matter, you're getting it anyhow.

Kita in some more avali wear!

Oh nooo I translated the colors onto the Spiri'vali and I think I love them too much 😳🥰

It is really well setup to work on, from the tracking, texturing, shader, and especially the looks 👀

Would recommend peeps who wanna Avali check it out ^-^
