Female Gargoyle Basic Rig Test. She's looking good <3

Currently rigging up the rig prototype to test motion. This is a ten second paint job, but I'm still really liking what it's bringing to the model's look regardless.

And I just only now noticed Gargoyles have four fingers and not five... ...hmmm... probably just going to keep my current model with five rather than add another dozen hours to this project.

Been tinkering with the face most of the morning. I think I'm getting closer.

In other news, I've been tinkering with the hands and managed to preserve a few options for people:

Amazing what a haircut will do for a girl

She's starting to look like somebody familiar...

✨😸✨

Humans are pugs. Prove me wrong.

This is one of those things I could spend forever tinkering with... I might have to just cut myself off soon and move on and just see how it looks after I rig it up in Unity

I really wanted to give the gargoyles avatars the ability to fold up their wings into a cape, but after sleeping on the problem, I think it's just too complex a task for the scope of the project. I never should have doubted the Wisdom of my idol.

Folding up the wings to make the "cape" idle using bone animations is not going to work, I might have to fake it with blendshapes and some parent constraint sorcery...

There's some fine tuning on the weight painting to do but this is looking pretty good

I don't know how I convinced myself that making wings would be a single bullet point of work on my to-do list... But anyway, I'm making progress. Fun fact: wings on humans don't work. Don't tell anyone. If I make them look cool enough nobody will notice.

After going over a few ideas for how to do the Gargoyle wings, I decided to go with something not exactly lore-accurate, BUT something I can re purpose for a different idea later. This bat-inspired hand I think serves as a good middle ground between Goliath's Hook joint and Demona's tiny-hands.

Also for the first time in three years of modelling I've weight painted an elbow I'm not ashamed of.

Transforming the Nekomancer (left) to the Gargoyle (right) There's still a lot of work left to do but I think this is a better idea than starting over from scratch.

...So Gargoyles don't have butts? The Gargoyles characters are consistently drawn with their tails in line with their spines. Realistic, but surprising. The tail set up this way wouldn't really leave much room for a "butt", but their clothes and wing-capes are designed to hide that fact.

We have an opportunity to poison AI! There are three new pokemon and very little official art. Those Generative AIs are going to be trying to scrape up as much fan art of them as possible. So let's feed it as much off-model rule 34 fan art we can.

Humans have ears in weird places, man.

Elbows! Also hands! This avatar will get to use a lot of the work put into the Nekomancer and the Lurid Lycan to save me a lot of time. It's basically the bottom half of the Lycan stitched to the top half of the Nekomancer. The only wholly new things I have to make are the wings and feet.

Legs

Finally, never again will Fennekin have to suffer the injustice of being called a dog.

That awkward moment when you realise your oldest OC has been shamelessly borrowing her proportions and silhouette from a cartoon you watched 30 years ago.

Rae: Making human feet is too hard :< Also Rae: *makes Gargoyle feet in 20 minutes*

30 minutes of work and the Lurid Shapeshifter is ready for another makeover. ...I'm really glad I put in the work to make the Lurid Shapeshifter T T

I drew somebody. Maybe you recognize her.

So in possibly something unique: There exists no 2D art or 2D references of my fursona. I have never actually drawn her, she just kind of appeared through trial and error in VRchat and exists solely as a 3D model. All that exists is these outline guides from modeling and one icon-sticker thing.

So people don't like art reposts, eh? Well good news, I have brand new fan art of my new favourite character, "God Incognito"

vrchat.com/home/world/w... The Lurid Codex Avatar World has had a few small updates! You can find the new Nekomancers on display, as well as discover some small new environmental details that hint at more of that juicy deep lore.

Does every game NEED a fishing mini game? You guys know you can just play a dedicated fishing game, right?

To honour the return of Angry Beyblade Kratos, I dug up an old my old drawing of Hairy Dad Kratos to bid him farewell. This is my greatest accomplishment in art and I won't hear otherwise.

vrchat.com/home/group/g... Puzzle night starts now!

More sprite art! Whee!

The most comfortable bed is the bed you steal from a much larger creature

My Up rewatch inspired me to watch The Incredibles again. I like it, but it's not as good as I remember. Also, I have no idea what the overall message of the movie was supposed to be other than "Don't question the genius making your supersuit/VRchat avatar"

I was recently commissioned by an indie game to make some sprites! It was the first chance I've had in a while to do some real drawing, and it felt great! I got to start something and FINISH it the next day!

Watching Up for the first time in a while. It's better than I remember. "How much symbolism can you fit in a movie?" Also the dog pilots are called Grey Squadron.

I just figured out the funniest, dumbest and most effective way to tell if you're talking to an AI voiced chatbot. Just bust out the "What does the ____ say?" barnyard quiz. An AI can read "Moo". It can't actually simulate a person making fake cow noises.

Remember that being a trillionaire doesn't actually mean you have money. If I make a company "vaporware ai", with a trillion shares, then sell 1 share to sockpuppet sally for $1, I am now a trillionaire. But I can only spend that on hamburgers and hookers if somebody else buys the company from me.

Question, why are two Hero shooters BOTH adding characters specifically targeted towards me but going about it completely different but equally appealing ways?

I've finally released my Radial Icon pack! I was holding off for more, but I figured this is a good starting point. I plan on adding more icons in packs over time to this listing for free and commercial rights are included in the purchase. Please read the description for more info! #vrchat #vrfurry

I made a filterlist for uBlock Origin to remove Generative AI features on websites. Includes blocks for * Google AI Summaries * YouTube Ask button & chat summaries * GitHub Copilot * Facebook AI chat * X's Grok buttons * Deviantart DreamUp * Booru AI images * And more github.com/Stevoisiak/S...

My job feels real weird in these times we are in. But I also figure, they want us to be miserable. So what else can one do but be happy when they can, and do things that make other people happy when they can, in the face of face of that?

Has there every been a good movie prequel? Ever? The only one I can think of off the top of my head is Alien: Romulus but that's more of a timeline split than a prequel.

I just remembered this show existed and I'm VERY tempted to shove another avatar base onto my to-do list...

Does anybody else feel weird seeing drawing overtop top of 3D models becoming so normal? Like, I don't think it's cheating or morally wrong or anything, but I worry it hinders people's ability to learn/practice fundamentals, and might make them dependent on their tools.
