My digital sculpture of the Water-Moon Avalokitesvara is complete!
A serene figure from Buddhist tradition, Avalokitesvara - also known as Guanyin in China and Kannon in Japan - embodies compassion itself.

i think we all need to step back and realize that peak art was made when neolithic pot in the shape of a pig was fired

I just checked my last post... my rare attempt at self-promotion went better than I expected, and I even gained some new followers. I’m amazed to have reached 600.
Bluesky is now my largest place across platforms🦋

Thank you all so much🙏

I thought Bluesky didn’t use an algorithm, but I definitely see a drop when I put a link in the first post instead of adding it in the thread.
I might repost my last update in the latter format later on.
And thank you to people who boosted my announcement🙏🌼

#StarfleetAcademy No show has made me genuinely laugh out loud and smile as much as this show. I'm so burned out of intense drama and high stakes. It's so nice to see something so positive and refreshing. It's really one of the highlights of my week.

Star Trek: Picard S2 is so far, still hard to watch, but Sir Patrick Stewart is SUCH a fine actor. I’m usually not a great fan of dialogue‑driven storytelling, but my goodness...he turns dialogue into art.
And he’s such a lovely old man.

I love the fact John Singer Sargent tried to capture the Collie first instead of the lady.
Reads as a happy dog to me.

Mentorship assignment WIP: working on the skin this week!

I’m about 40% there, but my sanity and eyes are nearly gone at this point, so why not give our dragon a cute pair of wings and a diaper (no idea how this diaper works)😇

While updating my site, I realized my work keeps circling around human suffering.
Even the deities I sculpted earlier are intentionally sculpted as witnesses to suffering, not saviors.

They've been on the backburner, but I haven't forgotten about my dinosaur studies. When there are no animatronics in town, I can always draw my toy collection...

Week 9 of my mentorship with Gael Kerchenbaum. To my great fortune, he’s offered to extend the program into texturing after a short break!

Tried breaking some anatomical rules to inject more emotion into this piece, and I feel I could push that even further next time.
Breaking rules meant knowing exactly which ones I was bending and being very conscious and intentional about it… I should definitely explore more of this rule‑breaking.

I just hope they don't kill off more crew-members or guest stars from the older series (which is likely to happen)😟

I just finished watching Season 1 of Star Trek: Picard and have mixed feelings so far... the positive‑to‑negative ratio is roughly 4:6 atm.
Still scratching my head over how romance/grief work here... Agnes and Seven both killed their exes and moved on to the next right after 1 ep or something.
