Flesh Envoy
Render of a low poly demon for the game They Speak From the Abyss: Zenith. Its body is visibly blistered, muscle and viscera are exposed. A large mass is formed on its face. Its intestines are coiled above its head, forming a halo-like shape. There is tight latex covering its eyes and chest.

Marais, Envoy of Flesh.
Close up of a low-poly model. Half of its face is rotted away into a lump of flesh, and there are welts all over its body.

Congrats to @blanksword.bsky.social for passing the funding goal. I made a 3D Blank to celebrate
3D Blank from the game Blanksword, standing on a disk in a void. He is holding a sword. There's a tired, concerned look on his face. 3D Blank from the game Blanksword, standing on a disk in a void. He is holding a sword. There's a tired, concerned look on his face.

I started playing Disillusion ST.

I think it's very neat.
Screenshot from Disillusion ST Text reads "I feel rude entering the dreams and memories of strangers, they are deeply personal after all" Screenshot from Disillusion ST Text reads "I wouldn't want someone poking around my thoughts, even long after I'm gone." Screenshot from Disillusion ST Text reads "Besides, It's difficult to discern what is and isn't fantasy. I'm sure you know that all too well." Followed by a choice box with "Do it?" "I do."

Demon Communion

idk why but sometimes blender will wipe the texture I'm working with and I'll have to start again. Thankfully this time around it didn't clear the face texture I worked hard on.
Usually, if I remember to save the texture file it isn't a big deal but...
Anyway, here's an angel that needs painting.
same model as in the quoted post, but the body is stark white.

I haven't done a lot of just for fun models lately.
t-posing angel the blackground is a black void, with an angel standing in the center. There's a giant gash in their chest. Their face has five eyes. Four positioned around the center eye, which looks very suggestive.

I'm also just really excited for people to play with the new communion system.
We got a lot of demons and I think they're all charming in some way.
Demon with a giant axe and a fucked up grin. there's text below that reads "CrushERRR" "Let's CRUSH a deal! Haha, I thought of that one myself!" Four winged bird with three legs. Text below reads: "Simurgh" "My, my, what... interesting jewelry you wear. Does your mother approve of such attire?" Selectable dialogue is: "She bought me this choker." "I don't have a mom. Two dads." "I'm an orphan, actually."

There's this PC-98 style game I want to do some day. One of many on my big list of games to make "Eventually"

I made mockups for it forever ago when I was going for more PC-88.
A mockup for a panel of a scrapped game. A person is holding their head, their face is spattered with pink. They look in pain. The shading is disjointed dithering. A mockup for a game that never was. A person is laying down, a red and blue dithered surface in the background. Half the person's face is covered in red pixels. To the right and the bottom is a bunch of yellow dummy text.
