Finished the dragon sculptures, just need to do the rest of the fireplace now...
Decided to make the wings thinner as the big solid block look was annoying me, as well as chopping out a center partition of the horns.

Working on my fireplace sculptures, finally found a good method for getting the ribbon style I wanted.
Mulling over whether I want to go fancy with it and sculpt some more detailed normals or not.

Been modelling a pair of balconies to fill up some of the foyer space in my fortress. Modelling is all done, inlcuding some indulgent little details. Just working on setting up the colliders for the screen space and sound, then I need to get my butt in gear to model some beanbags etc.

Working on more environment items to spruce up the outside of my fort a bit.
Tried making some greenery for the planter I'd made, it did not go well, I do not like it.
Looks like a sad cabbage atm, - think it's gonna take a while for me to wrangle.

Been working on this design again some more, got stuck on it a while ago so let it sit.
Finished the linework today and got started on texturing/shading. Aiming to give it a bit of a 'carved wood' feel.

Anatomy been kicking my butt too hard, took a break and did some random hard-surface modelling for a change.
Everything I'm currently working on is in a sculpting stage, which I do love, but needed to do something different for a bit.

Back is mostly done, just need to round out the shapes a bit so they're not too lumpy, still working on the underarm anatomy but finally getting somewhere.
Arms shouldn't take me too long to detail out I feel, but then there's the whole mess that's the leg anatomy...

In this house we love and respect our pet cryptids.

Been working on the face some more, anatomy still kicking my arse. Been leafing through my anatomy book *constantly* as I work on various parts to wrangle them into shape.
Boyo got eyeballs now!

Artists! Show an old piece you still love!

I feel like I post this one a lot, but that's because every time I look at it I go 'huh, I made that'.

Been hopping betwen projects a bit lately, had some extra time to noodle away on this boyo again.
Adjusted the anatomy a little bit, added some teeth and ears to better see where the head shape was at and am currently overhauling the leg anatomy.

Taking a break from making custom collider meshes to noodle away on my tree sculpt that's going into my fort's main courtyard.
I didn't like how a single tree blocked the path from the entrance to the main hall so decided to go with two instead.

(It's Yuuuge! 78.6m atm)

I'm struggling so much with this sculpt, but also loving it.

I enjoy sculpting a lot, one of these days I'll actually get my tablet out for this and not use a mouse like an absolute masochist.

Too hot, am mush. Office is a furnace, can't work on anything...

Have a neat bug in the meantime.

You've got a copy of my cat, even down to the handful of white whiskers!
A lot of black cats are similar, but this is the first time I did a double-take when seeing a random pic.

This is my little old lady, she likes to sit with me on my desk, either inbetween me and the keyboard or just on top of it.
She regularly toggles on gaming hard-mode when I'm raiding in FFXIV by randomly stomping all over my keyboard, opening up *all* the menus.
And farting. Lots of farting.

Made a vault door to lock off an area that doesn't exist yet in my world. Planning to add some sort of unlocking mechanism to it when it actually leads somewhere.

Don't think I've really posted any bug photos here, so time to dig around in my folder of favs!
Getting a smartphone with a decent camera set me off on photographing a lot of neat bugs, and then discovering iNaturalist encouraged me even further on being a bug paparazzi.

Look at that babey! The little baby bee is just so hecking adorable!
Still working on the textures, tweaked the shaders to match my TigerBee, about 90% done but it's just too adorable!

(The IttyBittyBee is a follower made by TokyoZilla)

I also had a 'new' message pop up from your old account this morning, but looking back it was sent around when you first lost it.
So people should still be wary until you have full access back, seems messages are still outgoing from the scammer.

The Tigerbee was the first avatar base I ever bought and I love it to bits still.
The very first thing I did with it was to break it, and I've been fixing it up ever since. (Learned tons due to that actually)
I keep coming back to spruce it up as I learn more about Blender/Unity.

Scanning through my own media tab to try to figure out what art I've already posted and what I forgot to post...

Felt like posting some more art from the archives, don't think I've shared them here before but no guarantee. XD

Spent some time sprucing up my TigerBee the last two days. Broke it. Fixed it.
Made the muzzle chonkier and made the teeth bigger, also added some more MMD visemes.
Updated the materials and baked the normal map from the OG bee to my edit. (I had edited the UV's so the normal map was borked)
