Normalize leaving testimonials and acting as a sort of hype man for your favorite artists you commission!

Tahiru @tahiru.mythopoeic.org · 11h

Unsolicited testimonial: I'm very glad I commissioned BlindCoyote. I'm extremely happy with both the end result and the entire commission process.

If their art speaks to you, jump as this chance.

Oh hey, #portfolioday . I focus a lot of 3d rigging and rigging repair, but I can do scratch build stuff, too!

Stills of Mega Hawlucha and Hawlucha that I rigged up for the Hawlucha vs Machamp short film. mGear was used to make the main rig, while I scratch built the wings, feather flutter systems, correctives, and other systems to reduce clipping issues

Still image from the short film "La Noria" showing the demon dubbed 'Lost'. I was tasked to update the rigs of all the demons and the little boy in the film, ranging from adding controls and auto animation systems to correcting blendshapes and pre-existing systems and deformations

Still render displaying all the characters I rigged for the Final Fantasy 9 tribute "Memoria Project". I was responsible for building and refining the rigs for their particular uses, from the simplistic inn keeper to the complex city guard.

Here's the Garlic (aka Medulla) nebula in all of its glory. This is a very dim target. I collected about 53 hours of data with 38 of that being spent on the hydrogen. I don't normally post the starless versions of my images but it was just too good not to include.

#astrophotography #photography

An astrophotography image of a nebula. It features a supernova remnant that resembles a bulb of garlic in the center. The image is primarily red, due to the high amount of hydrogen in the region, though there are some blue aspects (the representation of oxygen) to the left side of the garlic bulb. This image also contains a very dense star field in it due to the long exposures needed to get sufficient data.

So, I stumbled across this animation (left) that a professional studio made for a commercial client last year and a lot of it seems VERY familiar to my 2023 'PEAS' animation (right)...

Hey #Portfolioday! I'm Marco González, freelance artist and art instructor working on TCG, TTRPG, videogames and book publishing, among others. I love creating worlds and bringing fantasy to life.

A ghostly white head with long hair and a circlet is trapped in a glass jar with a metal, spiky lid tied with chains. The head is screaming with its mouth open wide, while a purple ooze flows from it. The jar is on top of an altar of sorts with runic inscriptions on the steps leading to it. Behind it, a huge, dark creature with long extremities looms over the scene, with its hands surrounding the jar.

A red-haired dwarf with an eye patch, a mohawk and a manica and a Huge, muscular, long-haired character at a bar share a table, some drinks while playing and/or gambling. The dwarf has just leapt onto the table holding a massive axe and threatening to severe his opponent's hand, while the other begs him not to. In the background, a lively crowd cheers and laughs while watching the scene.

The focus of the illustration is massive cocoon-like formation made of gnarled branching shapes with a warm, eye-shaped light in the centre. In the foreground, a thick “branch” where a character is standing goes towards the background. The atmosphere is mostly blue and hazy, with some warm light particles floating around.

A horned and almost entirely covered creature stands in the middle of the picture. Frayed layers flow around its body, kind of disintegrating as they move. A dark face with bright eyes is barely visible. Behind it, we see a stony and almost organic setting in mostly cool colours. In the bottom of the frame, we see a small character looking at the giant creature, standing on an organic-looking pathway.

I’ve not personally had a chance to get out from the city light pollution to try for comet sightings, but you should!

I’ve heard it’s visible with binoculars/cameras now, may be naked-eye visible in dark skies this evening or within days (peak: 21 October)
