The Song of the Banyan Tree @jasonsinghthing, the Mozart (or maybe Brian Eno) of Biosonfication, attaches electrodes to our banyan tree to record its biofeedback and turn into a soundtrack for Tishani Doshi to dance to @oliviafraserart's British Council show, A Journey Within, opening Thursday

I think the UVwarp might be one of the most handy modifiers in Blender. I think I've used it for at least 40% of all my models. Definitely underrated.

New avatar time! Wanted to go with something just a tiny bit more serious and less like he's delivering a sermon.

Joyeuse fête de Louis Riel! #FamilyDay

In Canada, but only in the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, New Brunswick, Ontario, and Saskatchewan. #FamilyDay

Family Day is coming up though. Maybe I should throw something together for it.

Decided against doing another model reveal. Will post the next one soon. It's just the he's the most violent character I've modeled to date and the most evil. Doesn't make sense to post him on such a loveable day.

Here she is! The semi-official mascot of Windows 7, Nanami Madobe. Finished remastering her model some time ago. I used her as the basis for my body rig. It ended up being the most complex rig I've ever made with 896 bones and 32 bone layers! #windows7 #retrocomputing #OStan

Parappa the Rapper is done! Modeled him a bit older from the games but still kept parts of his original design. He's wearing his favourite albums. Do you know which ones those are? #parappa #parappatherapper #ps2

Continuing to archive my works. I am at about 97 saved images of the about 140 I've posted since I started in 2022. Also found a bunch of unreleased images in the process.

media literacy is being able to deduce which one of the seven download buttons are the actual download button and not an ad

There are some seriously talented people on this! I have a track on it too! It was an absolute blast to be in this!

I've been playing with the idea of doing more model reveals, something I've probably should have been doing since the start. Been doing it with OCs but I'm going to start doing it with everyone. Gonna post 3 tomorrow.

I think I'm going to start rewatching Harvey Birdman. I don't think I ever finished it.

Guess who's been playing the #Frogger PS2 games lately? I think, with this model, that the #PS2 is the most represented console in my models. (also Konami pls pls give the Frogger games a remake or remaster, they absolutely deserve it).

In the process of collecting all my artwork into a proper archive. Better do to this now than years later when I'm scrambling to find old work files. Right now everything is scattered everywhere (with all folder names as codes only I knew at the time).

I'm now on Itaku and InkBunny. Since I shut down my Twitter and Tumblr accounts last month figured it was time to replace them. inkbunny.net/Hadair itaku.ee/home Was going to join Gander and EHNow but both have slights against them.

@hikari.noyu.me Hello, does a SVG exist for the Loss32 logo? I want to do something with it.

Time for the reveal! Two characters who aren't known in Frutiger Aero or Vaporwave but really should be! Nanami Madobe, the unofficial #Windows 7 mascot and Rover, agent from XP. It's sad how much they've been forgotten over the years. #windows #retrocomputing #vaporwave #frutigeraero #clippy

We just got word that 회사AUTO (Zach Mason) passed away this past week, I want to send out love and support to his family in this time of hardship. A pillar of the vaporwave community, he and his artistic voice will be missed dearly.

So the goal this week is to finish two more models from 2025. Both video game characters. - dog musician - wisecracking lizard If all bodes well I'll try to make an image for end of week to reveal them.

I spent December/November starting lots of major projects only to get 50-60% done before switching to another one. Now I'm spending Jan/Feb trying to pick up the pieces and finish them. Tbh I don't mind this strategy.

I recently tried something called szczecin paprikash. Not fully sure what it is but my, that had to be the best tin of fish I have ever had. Apparently it tastes like goulash, which, if true must try too.

I have a bunch of amaranth flour. I'm not sure what to make with it. Already made tea biscuits with them.

"And Ludgren, stay out of my way." Just had to make something to honour yesterday's snowstorm. Stythe is going off on his own. He doesn't want any help. Blizzards are his natural environment after all. #ocsky #snowstorm #blender #3dcg #winter

I'm starting to come around to weight painting. Still outright refuse to do the majority of weighting with it but for minor adjustments, ehn, not so bad.

Seriously considering if I want to dedicate the storage to 80 hours of new age / chillout / ambient recordings. Found a trove of them on Archive.org and listening to the first tape, is absolutely sublime. archive.org/details/stgi...

Glad to see people are turning against Untitled Stream. Their terms of service and practices are completely unacceptable.

The DoCoMo SH-04C might be the cutest #keitai in my collection—the phone is designed to look like a biscuit dipped in white chocolate. Even the charging base matches! The pre-installed Machi-Chara is a teapot/teacup family that dances around the homescreen. So lucky I found this on sale!

Blue Monday tomorrow! I have lots planned to offset if there's anything in the air. I really should have booked the day off but it completely slipped my mind.

I have a list going of the hardest characters I've modeled / models that have frustrated me / ultimately taught me the most stuff. Regrettably I've had to add a certain cartoon dog to the list.

Only thing the rig is missing is a huge tail rig but I will build that for the one WIP that has a huge tail (not spoiling who he is but he just had his games re-released last year).

Woo! I've finally completed my new base rig. Ending off at 864 bones it has a full-on UI, 30 bone collections, IK/FK switches, tons of controls, fully-rigged eyes + mouth and lots of counter twisting mechanisms. Now I need to finish the manual and I can start using it to finish my other models.

Scanned and uploaded to @archive.org: Did you know at least one company sold blank #filmstrips and markers so you could make your own? That's how this filmstrip on bullfighting came to be made by two schoolchildren in Rochester, NY. archive.org/details/unco...

I've applied to join a vaporwave compilation! What better way to kickstart my music production than forcing a deadline on it.

I want to get into the Dizzy series. Always seen that egg around and decided it's about time to start. Now I just need to figure out the order + best versions to play. All I know is that it's one of the most British games ever made.

Revealing another OC! This time it's Stythe. Ludgren's rival, monster of the North Pole and misanthrope. Spends his days roaming the pole, living ferally. His sword and armour are ceremonial. He usually just hunts with his hands. #OCsky #monster #3dcg

Shoes are currently the hardest thing for me to model. That will hopefully change tomorrow.

I don't have any intention of taking commissions. Whenever I make a model I then want to kitbash it and make other characters from it, recycling pieces. I wouldn't feel comfortable doing that with a model someone paid for, even if they allowed it.

what are 4 albums you like to really lock into and listen to front to back? (always love my instrumentals)

So far I've been keeping up my resolution to write every day. Long as I put pen to pad I count it. Modeling has slowed down a lot though, but that's up to just not having as much time as in December. Plus, I'm still working on my baserig so it's bottlenecked all my plans.

Q for those in #blender & #3dcg. When you model a character in T-pose do you model the char's hand facing downwards (palm in Z-axis) or hands facing outwards (palm in Y-axis / char's face direction)? I've modeled characters in both ways and unsure if in rigging which is more better / more natural.

Here is the last #animation from 2025 I made. Monty confronts Springtrap. Unsure if I'm going to include this in my novel or not. Audio is from Rebel Ridge. Models by Fredmilk. With that my backlog is cleared and I can focus on learning animation now. #fnafsb #fnaf #montygator

Never seen the Rabbit in the Moon so clearly as tonight- appropriately enough on the beach on our last night in Sri Lanka, where we have all been enjoying the many frescoes here that show him sitting up there, ears aquiver...

I've been looking around for something to play lately and now I've found out there's a new IWBTG fan game. My prayers are answered.

I don't usually declare new resolutions since January is always unpredictable but I feel like it this time. 1 - Finish all in-progress models + release them. 2 - Get good at animating. 3 - Resume work on my fantasy novel about rabbits. Maybe some music or gamedev stuff too but we'll see.

My year in art, 2025 (the image version). As I wrote earlier, it's been a fun year. Met and spoke with so many cool people this year. Made lots of art too. Template made by @dragongirl658.bsky.social! Happy New Year! #ArtSummary2025
