Too many creative desires, not enough time to create. Can always use a push to make something someone might enjoy.
Cringe:
Thigh slapping while doing a Superkick in pro wrestling

Based:
Thigh slapping while doing a Superkick as the somatic component to Thunderwave as your Bard indy wrestler kicks off the head of the guy who framed him.

I'm just imagining in 30 years some Sophomore in history class being asked on a test to explain this image

I'm still experimenting with Blender. I'd like to start making some shorts at some point, so even simple stuff like this will hopefully help me in the future.

When making the flag, my first render was the wrong format so I ended up with over 200+ separate pngs. Since I had them I decided to make an animated GIF.

Size is under 8MB so its usable on Discord without Nitro.

If you want to see more let me know and I'll try to make'em.

Did this take way to long to get right considering the tutorials for making a flag in Blender were like a minute long? Yes

Could the texturing on the pole be better? Also yes

Am I still happy with it? YES

Learned how to make this at a local faire.....and now I wanna make a fool suit of chain mail....

Why can't I focus on just one art form?

Used mine as a "surprise" extraction point during an Alpha Strike game I ran at a local con.

Do like the stretch version you're running

Anyone know what species of bird this is? Assuming a crane of some type.

My first foray into designing printable terrain for Battletech isn't very fancy, but I'm still happy with it.

Had a surprisingly successful weekend at Tabletop Utopia. Had a max of 9 for the Grinder and good turnout for the scenarios.

Best moment: Tier between Gargoyle C sawing a Nova in half with its Ultra AC/20 and a Piranha in same game falling on its ass in a reflection pool.

Painting for this weekends events is progressing. Will likely not have much detailing but there will be color so that's good.

Had to develop my own Davion Green (mix of Milita and Army Green from AP Air, mechs on the sides have those separated), as well as Clan Sea Fox

Decided to pull what I had of the Medium Grinder list up to Tier 4, including some old Iron Wind minis from 20 years ago, for my events next week.

Not as much needing paint as I feared, but still got two more scenarios to prep...

Got in a game this weekend at the local shop. Have to say I was surprised how effective the WVR-8K can be.

Classic demo went better than I hoped. Everyone was picking things up well and had a good time!

It's not super detailed, but this is the first building I've made start to finish from a Blender file to printing without a tutorial or base to work off of (fixing manifold issues is a pain).

It's not much, but I couldn't be happier right now

Was able to get a sketch from @bishopsteiner.bsky.social of my entry in the Unique Mechs TRO from years ago.

Love what he did with it and will have to try painting it when I've got time.

If you see this, post an Archer

Worth a shot, haven't played him in a DnD campaign in a while but ya never know.

I had picked up a GameDev.tv beginner's Blender course from a Humble Bundle pack a long time ago and finally got around to starting it.

I have to say I could follow it better than the YouTube tutorials I've tried before so far. Here's the first result:

My personal favorites for the Inner Sphere in each class:

Light: Javelin
Medium: Dervish
Heavy: Archer
Assault: Cyclops
