Sorry I haven’t been posting or making art recently. I’ve been focusing on trying to survive. The past few days have been like a rollercoaster.

Heres a shader node tree from one of the pieces I’ve been working on. Think of it as a sneak peak :3

Thanks btw to anyone who actually read my last post, it means a lot :)

I constantly got about a billion thoughts in my head and I always gotta make threads cause I never have enough room to convey it all in a single message with the character limits, haha

(3/3) The bad news is that I’ve hit either some kind of art block, burnout, or a mix of the two, and I never know when its gonna resolve.

The good news is that the flowers have given me an idea for some mural designs that I might attempt some time in the future if I’ve ever got the money.

(2/3) They were part of a kinda still life series on weird alien fruits that I’m doing with a friend (the, but it ended up not suiting the composition of the render, so now I’m putting them here.

The original drawings and 3d models are their work. I’m simply doing all the fancy colorful stuff :3

(1/3) A thread:

I had posted these flowers across the various discord servers I’m in, but had initially waited to post them here cause I wanted to completely finish the project they belonged to.

Spirit halloweens are like the cryptids of retail stores.

They show up, set up shop in a building thats vacant every other time of the year, attract attention while doing what they do best, then disappear without a fucking trace.

Like where do they go?? The halloween realm? The underworld??

I think for now, I’m gonna settle on poisoning every single piece of art I produce, even if its just something small or a screenshot of something I never end up finishing.

If that kind of thing is even effective anymore… I haven’t heard about it in quite a while.

Unlike a lot of other people, I doubt I will have the ability to build a presence elsewhere online.

Not only that, but its becoming increasingly impossible to FIND those spaces, but as they grow in popularity, they too often times become plagued with these issues.

I was so damn close to building a proper audience after years of having trouble getting started online as an artist, and then Bluesky pulls this generative AI shit with their API?

The fuck??

Yknow what? Sure, lets do it. I've got nothing to lose lol :3

Feel free to use this online, I don't care lol. If you use it in another piece of work, credit me at the very least :3

it would be bold of anyone to expect a normal art/creative project release schedule from me right now.

Echoes of Orrery is the only thing that has ever been consistently worked on recently..

maybe one day, but for now i'm gonna be chilling and occasionally tinkering with experimental stuff i see

I wish people would understand this is not a Bluesky exclusive thing. Jumping ship to another site will not do anything and you will be in the same position again and again.

Make your voice heard, don't just keep trying to run away from the problem.

Hell yeah. Whole system now 100% functional.

The capture rate UI needs final art, and later I'd like to make MODs have a rarity value, but yeah, you can knock an enemy down and take their limbs!

I'm gonna go finally play some Silk Song.

Ok so I’ve noticed some AI accounts in both my bluesky and discord DMs and I’m fucking sick of it.

I do NOT tolerate AI art in any way, and I ESPECIALLY do not like people using my art to train AI models.

I’m also not exactly a big fan of complete strangers DMing me out of the blue. I will block.

Gotta remember that I actually have a bluesky again. I gotta post my meaningless rants on here instead of annoying my friends on discord
