Quick wip update, turned off the lines and thought it still looked pretty good

#artwip #art #wip

The image is of lineless artwork of a red and grey themed demon man.

Between those two I'm not seeing a big difference outside of posing. The right has good framing, and the pose is pushed to make it interesting. but the left feels more... stock?
Honestly, moving the camera angle and playing with perspective (and minor pose adjustments) might be all you need to do

I debated between doing some halloween event freebies or not, ultimately decided to do my own avi for a change of pace

Guess who finally finished the thing 🤪

Freebie for Lucy Wolf Puppy on gaiaonline

An illustration of a pink-haired wolf girl who stands next to wall with photos hanging on a string held up by hearts. The wall is covered in the repeated word "mine," with the "I" dotted with hearts, as well as splatters that go from the wall to down and across the floor, with the floor having additional drag marks. The color transitions from pink to blood red.
The wolf girl is wearing an oversized grey sweater with a red sailor collar, her legs are bare. Everything has more splatters from her hair to her black doll shoes. There is a chromatic aberration filter added, where her face is normal, but the filter increases the further from her face, matching the splatter's color transition.

It might be you're tracing vs referencing, or something else

Do you have examples of using 3d vs freehand?

Axe Swing @axeswing.bsky.social · 12d

If you have the time/ability you can separate the base model from the accessories, then either re-add them through csModeler as optional accessories when you turn it into a character model, or just have separate models for each version (w or w/o hat)

As an fbx, you're kind of limited

Axe Swing @axeswing.bsky.social · 12d

It's kind of hard to explain, but iirc when a 3d object is rigged, csp lumps the whole model together when it loads into the canvas. Depending on how the model is originally set up, it'll either be attached to a parent (like the hat is parented to the head) or another part or origin point

And you can bet I spent as much of that otc stipend on his disposables and med supplies the second I got his account activated

I wish I could be guaranteed even half the shit his union fought for

Axe Swing @axeswing.bsky.social · 15d

Nothing has made me more pro-union than dealing with my grandfather's medical expenses + perks

His insurance covers close to 100% of Dr. visits (and ER) and regularly covers his meds. Average 90 day supply is $0-5.

AND he has a OTC stipend of $350

Closest damn thing to universal healthcare istg

I'm going to try the dev build later and see what i can do with it.
Even basic modeling stuff would be nice
OSS devs are the best

I prefer working on my computer for literally everything, but man would it be nice to be able to have a more portable version of blender when it comes out.

Axe Swing @axeswing.bsky.social · 26d

I saw a while back that the Blender foundation had announced a tablet version and I'm finally able to catch up on it, and I'm a little disappointed tbh

It's an ios build, then they'll port to android. But a community member is working on an android port they'll fold in
Neither is finished atm

It's so slow, sometimes takes 5-10 minutes to boot up, and last I really used it I was getting blue screened every few months

I think it's dying but there's literally nothing i can do about it right now

Axe Swing @axeswing.bsky.social · Oct 6

I've had this error trying to update my pc (specifically some of the .net framework ones) for literal years and I still can't figure out the issue.

At this point the only things I haven't done is manually move/delete the update folder or do a full reset

11y/o laptop problems 😰

Good evening light yesterday

Photo of a cloud with the sun behind it, casting a halo of shadow and light rays. The sky is partially framed by greenery

It can actually be pretty dangerous to do that, especially with a small knife. The tire rubber resistance + air pressure release = missile knife, and that's IF you have the strength to pierce

I use fixed wireless for internet (think cellular hotspots, sans the mobility) and it's been acting weird the last few days, then had a complete outage for half a day

Now that it came back, it's not only up to 3-4 bars (from 1-2 before), it's now 5g connected

345mbs down on my phone now
Hell yes

Axe Swing @axeswing.bsky.social · Oct 3

The blood is temporary, I'll re-do it as well. Words are fine, the splatters not so much

I thought the pre-made csp blood brushes would work for me, but imo they didn't work well at all. I'm desperately trying to block myself from making a whole new brush JUST for blood splatters

Axe Swing @axeswing.bsky.social · Oct 3

This is where i was at before all the fun happened last week. I'll get back to it soon, once I get caught up with everything else first
Hopefully this weekend

He's back home now, tubes and all

Hospital didn't listen to me correct his med list 3x, so he's had the wrong meds the last few days and is really out of it
orz

I hate that hospital so gd much

Axe Swing @axeswing.bsky.social · Sep 25

I wish there was more to say about my grandfather, though.
Best is "they think they have *most* of the bleeding stopped"

Which isn't exactly comforting...

"He won't need a transfusion"

Ok...

"Maybe another day or two before discharge"

That word "maybe" is doing a lot of heavy lifting rn...

I find I'm at a loss of what to do with my time.
Other than catch up on sleep and just not be "on" 24/7

Today is the first "day off" I've had of caring for my grandfather with alzheimer's in a year, and it's all because of a medical fuckup that required two different ER visits to acknowledge and treat properly that has him in the hospital right now
