Creating a vivid science fantasy world while learning Blender; my dreams are big but my motivation is low. Halp?

No DMs please; I'm just as broke as you are, sorry.
Image textures are a powerful thing. Used this one to play with ucupaint. Still figuring things out, but layers are a wonderful thing to have!

Third attempt. I simplified considerably! Just a cube, beveled to create an octagon, stretched out, a few rings around it, and bevel every other angle around alternating rings. Shazam!
This project was inspired by @odd.enough hope they don't mind me tagging them :)

Attempt two: getting better.

Still not quite there, though.

Attempt one: unsatisfactory so far...

Inspiration for blender. The topology of this one intrigues me. Would take a minute to figure out how to best do something like this.

Haven't posted in a minute. This will make up for that, I hope.

I drew the inspiration for this years ago, probably 2011 or 2012. Finally made it a reality in digital form.

Gothic architecture is a lot of fun to play with. This is ugly as heck from a topology standpoint. Good thing I'm not using it for that!

Animation practice. I haven't done this in a long time. Shapekeys and stuff.

Quick and dirty tip: for decks, array flat planes at a reasonable distance apart against the hull of your ship and use it as a cutter object. This will still require some refining to build things like hatches, elevators and interior details, but it's a start!

QRP with your profile art!

Heavily inspired by Treasure Planet, see my gas giant trawler skyship the Vasilissa II...

When things don't go the way you want them to, sometimes you can learn something...
Turns out, I guess, Vroid models use a lot of textures instead of geometry, or something like that? But Blender's Freestyle render option... is based on geometry. So, it brings out all the weirdness. TIL!

Some practice with subdivision surface at work to keep my mind and hands distracted from current events. Turns out a good way to keep your skills in tune is to fiddle with a little model of something simple now and then?

A quick anime style fighter for a brief exercise in making an animated scene in Blender. Not very aerodynamic, but visually distinctive. What inspirations can you see in this?

My OC and another character, both created in Vroid, observing her ship's bridge, or the low resolution untextured grey box version of it thus far...

This is more or less my first effort at creating a character. Needs work, but you know what, we'll get there.

I should really start getting into #ucupaint as layers would be a huge, huge help here.

I think I'm getting somewhere, though!

Playing with Kristof Dedene's ink/manga style shaders for #blender. A quick coffee table sketch that took me rather longer than it should have.

Hmmm maybe I should play with some freestyle variations... what do you think?

Progressed a little more on my texture painting project. Starting to get back into it and playing with different brushes and whatnot. I need to start layering colors a little more with transparencies/strengths. Suggestions are more than welcome at this point!

Trying to play with #blender texture painting. Screwed up the first time around by not saving the image texture... 🤦‍♂️

Shooting for sort of an Egyptian style column, but there will be some #scifi touches!

Well, I learned how to cut and splice video in Blender tonight.

That's an achievement, I guess?

Just finding my way through Blender...
