Made some CLAY PINS for the first time, specially for Thought Bubble convention this weekend. All of these are handmade. Sculpted, baked, painted, varnished! ✨ Nothing quite like making one off individual things, each lil pal unique!
Handmade clay pins lined up by Paula Lucas. There is a Loon, a fox, two Hercules beetles, a stoat and a capybara on top! Close up of a capybara clay pin with blurred other pins in the background

righteous ceramics at the Coca Museum in Cusco!!! So flippin' cool, AI could never!!!
An amazing sculutped ceramic at the Coca Museum in Cusco. The direct English translation of the text reads: "PARACAS CULTURE 700 a.c y 200 d.c A culture that had very Good Warriors, this aspect allowed them to survive for a long time. It's tissues are the most complex of this period and the most beautiful pre-Columbian textiles. The ceramics feature a portrait of a huaco with coca on the right cheek, thus leaving evidence of coca consumption" Another ceramic sculpture in the Coca Museum in Cusco, Peru. The direct English translation reads: "MOCHICA CULTURE 100 ac y 700 d.c Culture that developed in the north coast of Peru. Great ceramists portraited his daily activities, performed great contractions, Inside of its various food production also the coca was presented, as you can appreciate in this ceramic"

A narrow windy red dirt path has hikers on it as cloud starts to roll in from the right hand side. Moody clouds over the rainbow mountains, in the distance you can see a few walkers scattered looking tiny in the landscape.

the mornings are getting cooler, so Lumi is fully invested in Sun-Chasing™️ round the flat til the degrees increase
Out of all the beds and comfy spaces to choose from, Lumi the dog instead chooses to lay in a beam of sunlight with her head on the hardwood floor.

Such a great day at the Dundee DICE day yesterday, so lovely to catch up with so many pals, connect with new folks and listen to some great talks and panels ✨ I was too busy chatting to take many pics but lovely seeing the space at Waters Edge!
The Big Real space, a giant set of LED screens wrapping round some chairs with a colour of people seated after a session has just finished. The screen says Games Day at the Big Real with colourful patterning of the SGDA colours around it.

Welp, I've just found out that my role has been made redundant 🫠... So I will be looking for work!

If anyone is looking for a 2D/3D Generalist or Art Director for games (particularly specialising in stylised projects!) please shout! From concepts > modelling > animating thru to implementation 💛✨

BIRD (Part 2)

Second half of my most recent commission for @purbleburd.bsky.social - making an anthro version VTuber model! 🪶Testing out the live tracking in Warudo for this model!

also as a lil lunchtime treat, here is a lumpy lad version where it was Very Much Not Working in the tracking programme🫡💀
An early test version of the crow model looking a bit munted due to the non-standard rigging style that VTubing requires. The wing is all weird and crushed, texture is looking COOKED and the model is weird and lumpy.
