Hey! I'm Freech!
A big dream of mine has been to make games, and after many years, I'm finally carving out more time to make that a reality.
My interests lie in 3D video game development, and I've been learning Godot and Blender for that purpose. Hoping to have fun stuff to post here!

I’m relieved that this violent paramilitary force will be removed from our streets, but I won’t believe it until they're actually gone.
Minnesotans deserve justice and accountability, and I won’t stop until we get it.

I’m kind of amazed that Hammsgiving was such a huge hit. Getting a bar full of people to yell fuck Ice is a lot of fun

This is an absolute threat. “You’re not going to stop ICE. You’re not going to stop Border Patrol.”

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

For Arc Raiders to ride the wave of human sociability all the way to the bank, while also being so contemptuous of the thing that makes us social animals in its own workflow demonstrates a lack of artistic integrity that I find impossible to ignore.

Day Thirty - Freeform: The Final Sword
Nothing too complex. Just a fine-looking sword.
No reference, no plan going into it.
And with this, I've completed my goal of making a sword every day of September. :) Not an official Swordtember I guess, but I'm so happy I did this, and I learned a ton!

Day Twenty-Nine - Freeform: "Elemental Sword"
Penultimate day, and I had time, so I made a very busy sword. I had no plans before today for what I'd do, and I didn't have reference, so I just played through until the sword was done.
I'm pretty satisfied with where my whims took me!

Day Twenty-Eight - Request: Fiery Dragon Sword
The Fiery Dragon Sword from Guild Wars
Had to go with GW1 over 2 because I can't handle that level of detail yet. And the dragon head was already a stretch! Not to mention dipping back into particles (it's been a bit)
Not perfect, but good and fun!

The Energy Sword from Halo: Combat Evolved
Needed another sword that'd be fairly straightforward (busy, busy day), but trying to replicate an older style and play around with the shader was satisfying! We animating again, too!
Swords do come in all shapes and sizes.

Day Twenty-Six: Chronicle Sword
The Chronicle Sword from Dark Cloud
While I planned on doing this one from the start, and hoped to take some time to learn how to properly unwrap and paint the texture... I didn't do that! And it's way off in places.
But MAN was it an interesting (fun) one to make!

Day Twenty-Five - Prompt: "Water-Blade"
This idea was one I already wanted to make before it was requested.
In a recurring theme of things that I did that I make it difficult to notice, the blade-water is animated. I also sculpted the shell-guard!
Needed a relatively quick one for the days ahead!

Something I did my best to do justice, but you can hardly see the etching with how I rendered it (the part that easily took me the longest, haha)

Day Twenty-Three - Theme: Future
But maybe it also went magic?
While I normally like working on blades, I wanted the blade to be simpler this time around, with more focus on the hilt from what I learned working on other swords, and an attempt to make it more mechanical.
Freeform is fun.
