I finally got a job interview after about 1.5 years of desperately looking for a new job. I'm anxious - I was one of the first few interviews of many they wanted to do, but interviews always stress the living hell out of me. Wish me luck y'all - it'd be for more money than I've ever made at a job 🧡
the new job, lol

Been busy with getting packed up and ready to move again, this time potentially even having to figure it out without a car, but y'all lookit! :3

I'm gonna put it on my 'puter, the one with all my silly gay friends inside it 🥰🧡🐙

Hiatus should be over after this move gets all settled

As #artists, we know better than anyone that there's a fine nuance between ACTUAL human imperfection/quirks and mechanical imperfection & that will always be a factor at play, fighting the AI slop cultural phenomenon.

AI killed my imposter syndrome - I know I'm better than it in every way😏

FYI a few years back I made a higher-resolution #Ariral #3Dmodel from #VoicesOfTheVoid - if you haven't heard of the game play it, it's so cool - also you can freely download and use the model from my #Gumroad: aayla.gumroad.com/l/ariral 🧡🐙

I usually stream my #3DModel work, but when I DO stream games like #REPO with friends, I think this is a pretty good clip to describe pretty much any of my game streams in a nutshell (｡☉౪ ⊙｡) 👽🫳🐙🎮🫠

What really bugs me as a #3Dartist as someone who makes whole character models from scratch to being animation-ready is the frequency of work I can put out feels so much less compared to if I was doing drawings, illustrations or otherwise art in the form of #2Dart.

Seeing as my background as a #Blender3D #hobbyist for the last several years has mostly been in sculpting, re-topologizing and rigging character models, initiating from making #VRChat avatars, I've been improving my #HardSurface #modelling skills lately - Hold up... let me cook #karambit #knives

Life, overstimulation, burnout & catatonia are kicking my ass right now (gawd I need to find an actual source of income again), but I'm workin' on more entries into this skin series - I wanna make at least a sizeable collection of guns with this skin idea before moving to a new project...

Hi, I'm 🐙Aayla⚧️ - I'm a vtuber trying to sustain myself to the point where I can return from a long hiatus, and I'm an aspiring 3D character & prop artist/animator and lately I've been making Counter Strike weapon skins

I post regular updates on my creative project work & I follow cool 3D artists

I'm calling this #AK47 variant of the skin "Finished, version 1"
The people at #Steam who content check #SteamWorkshop uploads are probably asleep rn tho (′︿‵｡)

Anyway, I'll post when it's live 🐙🧡

One reason I started #learning how to use #Blender is because I'll truly never run out of things to learn and skills to develop with it - started out pretty exclusively just to setup humanoid character models as VRChat avatars - since then I've just kept learning the tool more #progress #artprogress
November, 2024 | I had learned a lot of additional elements of 3D, such as compositing, lighting setups, more in the vein of how texture maps and shaders work, and even how to animate scenes, and as of around October of 2024, began creating skins for weapons in Counter Strike 2 Late 2022-ish | my concept of character sculpting and how it's done was beginning to refine, and I managed to make my own fully sculpted, retopologized, rigged, facial animation set, clothed & animation-ready Ariral from the Voices of the Void series. I also uploaded this one to my gumroad: https://aayla.gumroad.com/l/ariral Additionally, check it out on my Sketchfab: https://skfb.ly/oNz9O Mid-late 2021 | I started looking into more of the fundamentals of 3D, how models get made, the different workflows and well, for the first time I sculpted a big ol' octopus that I haven't done anything with since Summer 2021-ish | Version 1 of my first time uploading a model as an avatar for VRChat - I barely understood what any of what I was looking at was, but now looking back it's all just been an upward-learning experience.
