Its always bothered me how clueless and innocent lots of makers are about their processes when I'm sitting on years of easy to find and understand knowledge.
Wanted to start last year but this year want to make a series showing how to do stuff and feature other makers teachings too.

Pro Tip: Calibrate and actually Learn how your 3d printers work people. Full sized piece for a Wolverine Cowl printed with very very minimal supports on an Elegoo Jupiter in sub 50°F weather.
Learn the material properties and mechanical functions of your printers and you can do no wrong.

While this video is not really the best quality, friendly reminder to not be afraid to mix your paints and layers to get the effect you want.
Clearcoat is your friend, a savepoint, and a great buffer.

Funny I said all that stuff yesterday and completely forgot Skeleton Crew dropped. Currently watching the first episode and it great. And it honestly feels more lived in than Andor. Its got that Mandalorian vibes. Feels like the story was made with Star Wars in mind and not borrowing the universe.

Silhouette, thematics, and colors, define the life of death of a model and its sad to see many people skimp on the simplest aspects of the three.
This "fake it till you make it" and yes men culture around art is starting to get annoying. A recent and notorious example of this is Concord.

I mean this very nicely but man some of these game models out there are the cheapest fastest versions of the concept art.

Y'know years ago I was pretty convinced learning art history wouldn't have a meaningful impact upon the art I make- until I eventually made the effort and started learning art history. Would highly recommend it if you haven't taken that step yourself. It will surprise, delight, and inspire you.

All these droids and highly "detailed" models I have cooking and it always makes me jealous of those who do more free-form or sculpted models.
I have a strong love/hate relationship with the videos people put out of them turning a concept to a print in zbrush or whatever.

When I was first recommended the Createx Transparents line of print it was right around the time I just bought my Jupiter. So like any sane person I decided to print up a very large Glavenus to test out some of the colors and blending.

References references references. While its fun to get inspired by others work when propmaking, always have a fallback of direct physical/photo references.
Even better if you can get something like what the person inspiring you used.

I've got all these prop making reference photos and ideas, can't wait to start recording videos about them.

Normalize inconsistency in your art. Normalize not making every art piece super detailed and intricate. Normalize just creating art for the sake of it.

Find out that I had my blender renders setup wrong so they weren't using my full gpu. Fixed now they're much faster 🙃
