Been a minute since I drew anything, so I rolled a MitN character and ended up with a middle aged professional illustrator who got turned into a Flying Squirrel due car accident-based goop exposure. He's just trying to make rent.

Someone on tumblr suggested someone should make an umamusume horse girl based on Hayseed from the "Everyone hates my big stupid horse in Red Dead Online" article... So here's Hayseed, Front Runner, Special Skill: Road Block

Took a spin through the Vintage Computer Festival Midwest today!

It was a genuinely cool place to see a lot of well-loved old technology as well as getting a chance to talk to the people who are really passionate about it.

Time to start on revision #10 of the Goop Dice, I suppose?

I have some ideas for how I can go about making everything tougher and easier to print and work with, but I feel like I'm butting up against the limits of what I can accomplish with 3d printing.

I'm gonna be at #GenCon today! I'll be at the noon #mutantsinthenow game, but also walking around all day with free goop dice to give out! Look for my silly cat hat and red bag and say hi!

You know me... nothing I love better than giving myself a tight deadline so I can finish a big project right before a con!
I'm hitting up #GenCon for a Saturday and I wanted to make goop dice to give out to all my mutant friends and people signed up for the #mutantsinthenow event

What better time to get a new project finished than a less than week before the convention?

Going to be at #AnimeMidwest 's artist alley this weekend. Come find me!

Reposting some old art that I haven't put up on bsky

Rocky is a simple gob who loves rocks.
Her head? Full of rocks.
Her hands? Full of rocks.
Her boots? Full of rocks.
Her hat? Full of rocks.

Got a small run of stickers for my next con

I'm kinda surprised how nice my art looks in printed form!

Making new molds is time consuming and tedious, but getting to use my new molds is always fun. The new sprues on these rupees break away so much easier and cleaner

Trying to use up as much resin as possible before the weather goes to crap again and makes it impossible to cast anything.

Demolding is some times way more of a struggle than expected.

I was put in touch with friend of a friend who needed someone who could do some 3d modeling. As it turns out, the skillset I've been learning for making trinkets to 3d print overlaps perfectly with the skillset needed for modeling fursuit bases.

I upgraded to CSP 4.0 and I had to fuck around with the new posing and 3d asset tools. Turns out they're pretty good!

I knew a little drybrushing and washing would help them pop a bit more, but damn these look nice

The 3rd OC challenge done for my home server of Goblin Town

I actually nailed down this design pretty quickly, but stalled out on the feet of the mech for days when I started doing the lineart. Just flats for now.

The second Let's Make An OC challenge I did

Sam Vihreä, the energetic Goth Snow Owl!

This one stumped me at first because I was thinking "mall goth", and then I remembered Amano's Vampire Hunter D. Him being a big green snow owl didn't help the "Goth" look.

I did a pair of fclkly's (tumblr) Let's Make an OC challenges on two different servers and ended up going a little overboard. These were supposed to be "warm-up doodles" and were anything but.

First server made a radical shark named them Kyley

OVA (The "Open Versatile Anime" system) jumps to mind. It was a surprisingly decent little system with lots of flexibility, but also some decent depth/crunch to it. Very easy to break though.

Sadly, it had one semi-successful kickstarter and has been completely dead ever since.
