Wife got me an XP-Pen 13.3 gen 2 for my birthday! Can't wait to dive into some courses I got for handpainting textures!

Modelled a Makarov PB over the last few days. This one was a real struggle for me honestly. Just need to model the magazine now and it will be ready for me to throw into RizomUV and then texture.

Finished sharpening up the edges on the wheel. Up next is the wheel nuts. I haven't had as much time to work on this as I'd like because my day job (army) has been fucking rough recently. That's going to continue for at least another few weeks most likely.

Finally got back to this and got started in the wheels. Blender 4.5 was bugged with extrusions under certain conditions, but 4.5.4 fixed it. Also real life got in the way and I took some time to (poorly) participate in a render jam.

More progress on the car project. Non-destructive modelling makes my head hurt.

Here's how that hard surface course is going so far...

Oh hey. I finished modelling the shotgun. Trigger, bolt carrier, bolt release, and the barrel are all separate parts for animation (long recoil action)!

Well uh, that went surprisingly quickly. I may actually finish this thing tomorrow...

Already started on a new project. I feel like I actually learned a lot modelling the Gepard.

Finished modelling the Gepard SMG. 2657 tris for everything including the mag and the bullets. Done with it for now until I get my hands on Substance Painter.

Here's some light retopology gore.

Handguard and bolt carrier done. All I have left is the dustcover, mag, and then it's time for retopo...

And I did the barrel assembly. I think I'm going to tackle the handguard next.

Redid the texture and then Blender lost it so I had to redo the model too. Ended up keeping it a lot simpler because it's a pack of cigs for a retro game.

Modelled some Soviet-era cigs. Texture is going to get thrown into Aseprite (when the army pays me and I can afford it), and crunched down to like 128x256 and assigned a more limited color palette.

Finished modelling/texturing the Spitfire for my @gamedevtv.bsky.social course. I'm probably going to hold off on the animation/rigging/sculpting stuff for now because I really want to focus on improving my modelling and texturing skills.

Got sidetracked by my real job for a couple of days, but I've started texture painting!
