Semi-disabled art gremlin.
I do 3D modeling and illustration, with a bit of sewing here and there.
(I like editing VRChat avatars, & drafting plush patterns rn a lot. Comms open for those.)
Existing sucks. 2/10 | Failure of a human being -8/10 | USA -10/10
I have access to a 3D printer that means I'm about to go mad with power and print some of these LPS things I made for the customizing community bc they wanted em. \o/

For more whimsical news:
People are sending me pics of builds they made using my Tenna EVA foam pattern!

Such satisfaction to see it in execution. 👌

I WILL MAKE YOUR AUTOMATIC BACK LEG STEPPIES WORK DAMNIT.

So uh I want to play with making a Taur/Quad for Vtubers/VRChat tracking stuff and I am suffering through Final IK.

Here's an earlier build (v3 or v4) I adjusted the leg angles for better stability, and the thickness of the shoulder so that wall isnt SO think it leaves a hole LOL.

Now you can 3D print your own Dragon BJD friend. :D

As for the wings, thinned out the arms a bit, removed paw pads, added those black diamonds.
(getting the diamonds weight painted to the wings was low-key suffering but not rly toooo bad)

A majority of it is just a very heavy re-texture.
Some 3D Modeled diamonds & pendant
Mesh edits to the ears, snout, & tongue

This is an edit of @voxian.bsky.social 's 4Paw VRChat Avatar for @s0lchaser.seeks.quest and it's been very fun to work on.
Love that it can go quad.

Plush planning for someone's fave. Flynn from the Skylanders series. I love his lil smirk.

Color blocking layout and layering. Small details are intended to be appliques. (Pockets, small stripes, belt buckle etc. I can't digitize them but I can make the template for 'em ot be digitized

We did 😭

I mostly play with polygons these days.
Doing basic VRChat avatar setup/edits.
Hopefully I can get back to drawing soon too though. Maybe the burnout is slowly receeding.

...Maybe it's time to go back.

She loves it. 🥹

It was well received. c:
Made it for a lil older lady who has adopted the SO and I as honorary kids/grandkids as thanks for giving me such a warm welcome when I moved here and inviting us to dinner p regularly.

She LOVES black cats.

In other more positive news:

I finally finished this darn cat plush I started for a gift last November.

Pretty pleased with how it turned out for my first go at anything realistic/poseable art doll adjacent. 🐈‍⬛

DO IT FOR HER.
August 16, 2025 at 7:48 PM
Fell into the pit.
But it ain't a bottomless one.

Still sucks tho. But we got bunnies and shit so. That helps!

Made this a while ago for the #VRChat homies. Simple lil visual/written guide for doing a head swap in Blender.

Made a basic stick-man BJD for remixing. Plonked Sky hair on it because it's perfect.

But I'm finally finished.
