Here's an old video trying to have Reversed Fates Yang walk down the catwalk with shape keys. Shape keys are not good for walking forward. Or I'm just really bad with them. Either way, I've gone back to using an armature. Fingers crossed the final product will look better. #RWBY

Me: Man, a lot of different animators are putting out amazing works and it's already the end of August. I need to step it up with my animations.
Also me: I wonder if I could make my 3D models look like pixelart.

Ok, the grease pencils are redone, the textures for the dress are back, now I just need to fix the weight of the armature bones...yay.

Me at 1 in the morning: Man I love grease pencils; I'm basically a master at it. No that's not me slamming my desk at the end.

Much better.

Hey @judgmentalcritter.bsky.social , any tips on improving this tattoo for Reversed Fates Yang? I couldn't find any high quality pictures of it so I just eyeballed it.

Hey, just as a heads up, don't try to use the Collective Line Art Grease Pencil tool in Blender unless you know what you're doing. #Blender #RWBY

Shoutout to @judgmentalcritter.bsky.social for her AMV contest last year. It got me to step up my game for recording video/audio and editing.

Hey guess who accidentally saved over their major RWBY outfits project and lost everything. Well not everything I got the models back but some are incomplete in terms of texture and all of the armatures and shape keys are gone. I wanted to scream, but now I want to scream in lowercase.

Soon: My magnum opus for RWBY prom redesigns, since this is actually a new dress instead of just tweaking the design. #RWBY

Hey if you ever get into 3D animation, make sure you remember to turn off the bloom if you decide to not use it before you begin rendering. Try to render a few frames before you render the whole thing.

Just wanted to show off the difference between Eevee and Cycle for this simple blender animation, aside from the 4-hour difference in rendering time. #Blender #RWBY

Hot Take incoming: I think Shrek and Fiona's designs are fine. Just in need of some tweeks. Toning down the pearly white brightness of the teeth and sclera will work wonders. Also Donkey looks exactly as he should. The dude banged a dragon and raised six dragon-donkey kids. He should look this old.

Now that I've had a reason to think about it, it's a shame we
never got Ruby wearing ruby slippers during the prom.
