Hey, I've still got this account on here- hope it becomes a proper twitter replacement, now that it allows video I think it should be a lot more appealing to animators. I'm gonna try to post the same mix of oscillating between mainly dino and scifi content and my own 3D art that I post elsewhere.
I don't keep a big library of #StarWars reference photos because there is just too much to possibly save and archive. But anytime I see a nice side/front/back/top view I do save it, just in case I may ever want to 3d model any of these things in the future. Here are some random, invaluable examples!

Ok stopping there for now. I don't think anyone will recognize what this character is based on but that is fine.

I am not very good at Blender hair yet but it's still fun to mess with. Especially remembering how impossibly slow something like this would have been to mess with and iterate on back in the 2010s.

This head I am working on was not intended to be for anything Frieren-related, but... had to check it from the now-legendary Frieren-looking-up meme angle.

Remarkably, the paper (which is freely available) had a familiar reconstruction of Lambeosaurus.
I say it's familiar, because years and years and years ago I tried throwing my hat into the "odd reconstruction" ring by doing a similar reconstruction of this exact animal (and they're uncanny).

I was always super impressed by Des' animated LCD-style display graphics, they always go the extra mile. Like this prop has a half dozen different custom animated screen layouts for different details on the prop, and they're all so expertly retro-styled.

I occasionally post about KPop Demon Hunters and will continue to indefinitely so because it's just the most positive thing to happen in 2025. Not only a great positive movie, animation, music, all that, but a runaway success for a huge range of incredibly humble, sincere and deserving creatives.

Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it.

Made it poseable. AT-STs are cool.

You obviously can't see it in any of the renders, but I do have a suuper low detail cockpit interior in there, just to have something in case some light ever gets in the windows. Here is how the low detail pilots look outside, not quite good enough for closeups! I like making lil low poly dudes.

Here is also a render of my #StarWars AT-ST lit by a forest hdri from polyhaven. Rendered in #Blender3D #fanart

Still some more details to add, but it's near done enough to render. Last render is with the Battlefront model.
(The BF geometry is super accurate to the small RotJ stop motion models; they probably 3d scanned one for reference. But mine isn't based on that version, so I didn't look at it at all.)

I am not pro at matching lens distortion and compositing but here is a fake mockup image of my RotJ AT-ST in a RotJ photo next to the full size one, just to see how they look. Pretty neat.

In the original StarCraft, the sprites were touched up by hand. They deliberately didn't add team colors to the Mutalisk's wings when they pass in front of the body, so that your perception of the body's silhouette isn't affected by the wings crossing in front of it. The Remaster doesn't do this.

This is 95% procedural layer stuff, I will need to hand-designate different textures on parts like the hoses, and then also hand-weather some parts, add a little damage, etc.

(Meanwhile, Ray Harryhausen in the 60s just hand-animating multiple miniature lassos connecting a stop motion dinosaur to live action cowboys on horseback without needing to hide any transitions: "I don't have such weakness")

Man I love this shot where a miniature AT-ST pulls live action Ewoks, with the tree hiding a transition between miniature rope and full scale rope dragging them along the ground. You can also see matte lines around the section of miniature ground around the AT-ST, but you never notice in the movie.
