3D me has been getting a huge overhaul. The head shape and eyes are so so soooo much better, I finally nailed it. I still have to rework a lot of the topology though, so you won't see it for a while.
I've unpinned my ref sheet for now, and I'll make a new updated one when this version is finished.

Might stream some Minecraft or something at around 7:30pm CST tonight.
Thinking about streaming again, I want to see if I can keep a consistent schedule (probably be every Tuesday).

I am officially declaring this account dormant. I don't really check this place often anymore, nor do I feel comfortable posting much here. I will continue to keep this account but it will only be used to post new art, project announcements and updates, and website articles.

My current usage of Bluesky has pretty much just relegated to being an art gallery. Sure, there are lots of great art and I enjoy seeing them and giving artists my acknowledgment, but something feels missing. It doesn't feel like a place where I can speak my mind and have good conversations.

In all honesty, Bluesky doesn't really fit me. I'll continue to stay here and post since I don't mind it, but I generally feel more at home with Mastodon.

I've officially exited hibernation. While I wish it lasted a little longer, at least this time I predicted I'd be back before 2026.

Starting July 21, I'm going into a second hibernation.
I will be uploading one last animation before this.

I'm not doing any more ArtFight attacks this year. I am glad that I have at least done ONE, which is more than last year. It is a huge struggle for me to come up with ideas in the first place, it's a real fight for me to be motivated, and I don't feel comfortable publicizing the end results at all.

One thought I had for ArtFight was that I could do some of the animations I've been planning already but use other people's characters, but then I'd be afraid of pissing off the person I'm attacking because they didn't like that character being used in that particular way.

Back in May I began using VRChat to hang out with a few friends.
Today, I'm officially quitting VRChat.
It's such an awesome concept, and I did have some great interactions on there, but there are a few personal reasons that I'm quitting.

Might not do another ArtFight attack for a while, if not at all this year. I'm not feeling it at the moment. I'm in the mood for other things.
At least I got one done.

TBH I really don't like the tiny character limit here, seems like it penalizes any sort of substantial thought. Gotten used to Mastodon where the server I'm on has a 2048 char limit, so I can freely thought dump. I know the tiny limit is like a Twitter thing, doesn't mean it's a good idea.

I am a shit artist, I will always be a shit artist, and that's completely okay. I could be less bad if I did art the same way all the other real artists do it, but if I took that path, I would no longer be me, I would be pretending to be someone else.

Earlier this year, I made my first retail typeface available for early access licensing. Melvian Mono is a rounded, simple yet warm monospaced typeface suitable for programming or technical texts.

Shoot, maybe there are more type designers on Bluesky than I previously assumed. A lot of them, or at least most of the designers I recognize and deeply respect, are on Mastodon. And that's really the main platform they talk about.

My goal for ArtFight is to do at least ONE attack. I know exactly what it'll be and for who. If I do not get anything else done on ArtFight I can say that I have finally participated and drew something I don't normally draw.
