Here is my new likeness! He was concepted, modeled, textured, and rigged by me from scratch in Blender and Substance Painter. I'm very happy with how it turned out. I plan on using it in near-future VRChat streams. The lovely world behind me is named Pillars, by FreewillPack76
I want to thank everyone (16ish people?!) from my discord and stream chat who joined me for halloween VRChat exploration last night! I was honestly feeling pretty sad about not being able to do many autumn/spooky things this year, so everyone showing up meant a lot to me

I've been streaming VRChat world exploration with my new self made avatar, and custom OBS scenes. I'm feeling good with how they've been turning out! It's been great seeing new viewers around too. Here's the most recent vod if anyone's interested: www.youtube.com/live/y4mQWDh...

In a strange turn of events, there's a play happening this week in NYC named "The Monotonist". I've used this name for over 15 years, and for the first time I'll be sharing google search results. I hope it's good! I really like their poster designs newyorktheaterfestival.com/the-monotoni...

I'm going to start doing that aspiring game dev art thing and posting short looping clips of things that I make. Soooo here's the moth character from my recent animation!

To all the newcomers to Bluesky: it's a really good idea to post at least once, and fill out your profile explaining who you are and what you do BEFORE following lots of accounts. You'll miss out on a lot of follow backs if people see your notification and know nothing about you

Here's my (late) birthday gift to @coolmoths.bsky.social ! Everything modeled and animated by me, except for low poly viral sensation Pepsi the cat, made by moths. This is my first time animating, so this was all a tremendous learning experience youtu.be/GJDvhXQ0CoU?...

Due to 'life reasons', I decided to move out of Minneapolis. It was the home of my independent adult life for the last 13 years, so it was a very tough choice. I'll still be in Minnesota as I pull myself back together, but this city will always be my special place.

For all the new people: it's a good idea to write your bio, or post something that introduces yourself, before you go and follow a bunch of people. With no info on who you are, people probably won't follow back

I spent the afternoon out on a frozen lake last weekend, enjoying artist designed ice houses (shanties) along with kite flying. It was a really nIce time, and makes me grateful that the 'weird local art scene' has been making a return! youtu.be/i1cjR4ZCMG0?...

I modeled this crusty flashlight game asset from scratch in Blender for a thing I'm working on. I like how it turned out! Substance actually was not involved, just some GIMP layering. 1500 tris i.imgur.com/Q4MgIuV.mp4

I finally finished my little silent hill 3 themed spooky video watching world for vrchat. I'm pretty proud of how it came out. I merged together assets from SH2 and 3, upscaled and enhanced textures, redid the lighting, integrated LTCGI: youtu.be/zzsIhLqKYw0?...
