Printed Happie and Hound.

The Sunlu black resin is really disappointing. It scratches easily and obviously.... Some resins show fewer sanding marks with a gloss coat but it didn't work on this one.

Because I am some kind of idiot, B69's muzzle is a bunch of curves I can't turn in space so now we gotta make a muzzle.

More iteration on Happie. I think I will do the resin print next.

Making cute simple stuff is such a trap sometimes.

"Less detail is less work!"

*has nothing to focus on besides the three details and ends up moving curls back and forth for 5 hours*

did a quick and dirty test print. still need to edit the hair more but I think I am happy enough with the rest of it

the eyelids will look less jank when I print it high resolution

sometimes I need to remind myself I will not be printing it at the scale it looks like super zoomed in on the program

Looked at some nendos for inspiration because I'm a sculptor of questionable skill, but now I want to spend money on more nendos

Someone buy me Anya

My mom asked if I'd make a tchotchke for a relative and she likes cute animals so I am sculpting Happie.

Though part of me is like "IDK what I expected here..." in the many woes of turning a very 2D drawing into something that can be turned around.

Comic Trivia:

I couldn't decide on bathroom colors but then I remembered the paint company always shows swatch examples so Czes's bathroon is Sherwin-Williams Fresh Eucalyptus.

These dog people were originally to be more metaphorical, but the design ended up going much more literal.

I haven't finished his legs.

I think the shoulder spikes not being pink is a crime and I need to rectify this with paint.

I NEED MAXIMUM DESERT PINK

There's a teal coating under that gray. You can do it, Military-Industrial Complex!

Another year of chugging along this project.......... more poorly.............

2 chapter covers, 30 pages, so 14 less pages than last year. oTL

Year 1: I'm amazed this comic exists!
Year 2: Problems
Year 3: ???????????????

But no one is gonna make this comic but me, so I must soldier onwards.

Due to the Local Rich People And Their Expensive Hobbies that I see on SkyCards, homebuilt kit planes have been plaguing my mind

Since I have mecha brainrot, the cursed idea of ordering a kit for a giant mech

Plane kits don't have welding but trying to figure out welding to build a mech wasfunnier

Being an artist who draws in a rubbery/vibes/let's-never-measure-anything way, switching to mechanical stuff is so much struggle to get right. I need to stare so hard at reference to get it decent because I cannot rotate these things in my brain.

As the most geometric SABAV, Love Machine causes me the most problems.

Which I guess is why Love Machine has the plainest paint job. xD Spent too long on the lines, we are not letting this man have colors!
