I want to thank everyone (16ish people?!) from my discord and stream chat who joined me for halloween VRChat exploration last night! I was honestly feeling pretty sad about not being able to do many autumn/spooky things this year, so everyone showing up meant a lot to me

In a strange turn of events, there's a play happening this week in NYC named "The Monotonist". I've used this name for over 15 years, and for the first time I'll be sharing google search results. I hope it's good! I really like their poster designs newyorktheaterfestival.com/the-monotoni...

Here is my new likeness! He was concepted, modeled, textured, and rigged by me from scratch in Blender and Substance Painter. I'm very happy with how it turned out. I plan on using it in near-future VRChat streams. The lovely world behind me is named Pillars, by FreewillPack76

I'm going to start doing that aspiring game dev art thing and posting short looping clips of things that I make. Soooo here's the moth character from my recent animation!

Youtube and bluesky really destroy the dithering effects, so it's best to view at full screen on 1080. Here's various still shots of the scene:

I did recently begin a contract remote 3d modeling job, so things are slowly coming back together. I went on one last bike ride around town to enjoy my favorite time of year while there's still time. I will sorely miss this view from my apartment.

Due to 'life reasons', I decided to move out of Minneapolis. It was the home of my independent adult life for the last 13 years, so it was a very tough choice. I'll still be in Minnesota as I pull myself back together, but this city will always be my special place.

I modeled this crusty flashlight game asset from scratch in Blender for a thing I'm working on. I like how it turned out! Substance actually was not involved, just some GIMP layering. 1500 tris i.imgur.com/Q4MgIuV.mp4

I did the top video games list thing, if anyone cares. The website is topsters.org if people want to make their own

This morning's sunrise reminded me of something...T-minus 12 hours
