@kokopimento.bsky.social Happy Birthday!! I typically don't watch Vtubers, let alone Twitch streams in general, but somehow your vibe just works, and I felt like drawing this for you!

I love rhythm games so much. Hit buttons to songs I enjoy, and unlock silly cosmetics? Yes, please! Gimme that dopamine! Miku and Rin giving me a 👌 when I pass a song does wonders for my morale

Working on a Twilight Princess Linkle mod! I'm gonna make more improvements to the model, but I'm just happy to have gotten it working in game!

I am having so much fun with this! The expressions, the pose, all of it just has so much more personality than I've ever been able to put into a character before! It's awesome! #oc #animation #blender

Expressive expressions on the way! I haven't messed with shape keys much, but I already like using them for the facial expressions way more than bones and weights because it's way less tedious. I'm excited to mess around with it some more!

Gotta say, I like this style for Piper a lot more than the more realistic proportions It just feels more fun and expressive even with just a blank expression, so I'm excited to try messing around with shape keys (or whatever they're called in Maya) for hopefully more dynamic expressions

I found this Blender extension called PolyQuilt today, and it is so so so useful It's basically the Quad Draw tool from Maya but it's better for me because I don't have to worry about switching to a different program with a high poly model, now I can just do it all in Blender and all for free

Decided to update Blender to 4.3 and try out the new sculpt mode stuff I think this is one of my best faces, so I'm pretty happy with that Does make me want to make more, but I've already got so many things to juggle so I really shouldn't try to add more to it

Got the weight painting done It fought me tooth and nail the whole time I was doing the jacket but I got it It is by far my least favorite part of this but at least rigging is easy enough

Here I was thinking I'd be able to get this model's weight painting done in a timely manner It's messed up so many times when I try to mirror the weights and I'm so done with this Weight painting has to be my least favorite part of the process

I was seeing a decent amount of chatter about Arcane season 2, so I figured I'd finally start watching it Holy crap this show is amazing and super well made I should've started watching it sooner

I love how Maya makes the skeleton multicolor when you bind the model to it Silver lining to the pain that is weight painting XD

Boom, finished model! Now to rig it and animate it! #animation #maya #3d #oc

Just about done with this character model, still need to add some textures and combine some pieces, but I'm quite happy with how well and fast it's been going! He's made to be quite different to Piper, earth tones to her primary colors, and more laid back to her exaggerated expressions.

When was someone going to tell me Blender has a view mode for retopology?? This is so much nicer than making everything transparent

I realized that only having one character to animate would get boring after a bit, so I'm working on a second one so they can interact and stuff It's so much faster this time cause I know what I'm doing #animation #oc #art

Cooperative sword unsheathing

Apples are like So much better than I remembered I don't have enough fruit in my diet so I decided to eat more apples this week and they're such a good snack Cosmic Crisp is where it's at this week

Wish I had more time to work on it today, but here's a screenshot of the animation I'm working on It's still pretty rough, lot of details still need to be animated and it's just this one character, but I'm having fun with it #oc #animation #maya #3d

Ugh. I wanna do *anything* right now but I don't have the motivation to do it for *whatever reason*. I love making things but sometimes I just can't get myself to do it. It's even worse when the things I want to make have deadlines. At least my phone dies soon, then there's no choice but to start.

Quote repost with your art with stars ✨️ Also I just want to say I love these art trains that have been going around, it's great for finding new artists to follow!

Tempted to be open for 3d modeling commissions... Main issue is that I've never done it before, so I don't know what a fair price is yet, or how long it'd take, since it depends heavily on the scope of the project. If anyone would be interested, hit me up! #commission #3dart #art

Man, I want to get paid to animate so bad. I love, love, love doing it but I want to be able to make money with it too! I'll get there some day, but I'm not there yet... #animation

Don't stop being creative. Don't stop making things. Don't stop.

It took a bit of work to get where I wanted, but it is ~so nice~ to have actual controls for my rig. Now rotating the hips doesn't make her do a barrel roll 😆 I can actually use it to animate in a reasonable amount of time now! #oc #animation #maya #3d

How I arrived on Bluesky...

It looks pretty stiff because I didn't put a ton of work into making it smooth, but here's the deformation test animation I did of my new character, Piper the clown! I modeled, and rigged it all myself, and I see why it's split into different jobs, this stuff takes ages! #oc #animation #clowngirl

I have been working on a clown girl model for the past few days I have realized something I have too much power 😆

Me sliding into your timeline #art #animation #maya

I freaking love animating I can't get enough this is so fun and I love the visible improvement with every animation Learning animation has likely been the best thing I've ever chosen for myself

I call it "Hot To Pyro" Made this nonsense for a friend, so it's not exactly the best thing I've ever made, but it's still pretty fun

Learning how to animate is so awesome I get to give life to pixels on a screen I'm like Dr. Frankenstein, putting together different parts with hardly any plan, though I don't expect much more than the file getting corrupted when a power surge happens

Figured I'd show off something I'm proud of, so here's an acrobat girl I modeled in Blender a while back!
