Finally getting time to post what was my submission for VGen Secret Santa 2025. This was for @willowwhisp.art of characters from her webcomic, Deity Management! #VGSanta25

I totally missed this going up 'til now, but yay, I was in this batch! I've not really been pushing coms because of day job + other life stuff, but we'll see how things go by the end of the month. I've got cool stuff planned for whenever I get time.

I finally made the video for my dang piranha model, he's been done for like 4 months. youtu.be/02lykBmQcQw #vtuber

Fishy nonsense nearly usable.

The more I work on this model, the more it looks nice and it makes me want to polish it to look like it really could have been ripped from Finding Nemo or something. Retopo done, now on to rough color in Substance Painter. I was thinking about trying 3dCoat for some hand painting. #3dArt #WIP #fish

Continuing my particularly silly #fish idea. He's coming along pretty quick, honestly. Retopo soon, maybe? #3dArt

When I have wacky as hell ideas, I have learned to not question them, just do it. #3dArt #WIP

I'm still around, just been busy! Really happy with how this sculpt turned out, finished this past weekend. Character belongs to @sp11ca.bsky.social. Primarily done in Zbrush but the hair and small accessories were done in Blender, and I tried out a new hair plugin. #VGCupid2025 #VGCupid25 #3dArt

LA earthquake party anyone?

Yup. Microsoft automatically switched me to the $99.99/year version with Spicy Autocomplete. You have to go all the way through "cancel subscription" to be presented these options and get the $69.99/year one you actually chose.

Totally forgot #PortfolioDay oops. Anyway, hi! I do a mix of illustration & digital sculpting, with consumer products design for my day job. Currently dabbling with 3d art (including vtuber models), and updated commissions Coming Soon™️. 🔗 onyxserpent.com 📧 [email protected]

They don't put "parrot damage" in the list of problems you might have with your African violet. Jules then flew back for a second bite while I sent that image to a friend. Sigh. #parrots #plants

Happy Holidays to all my fellow creative professionals out there. #artvasrtist #artvsartist2024

I'm trying to get some work done and then there's this goblin.

This has been making the rounds on tumblr but it hasn’t crossed my tl here, so I’d like to pass on the news to whoever needs to hear it: www.animal-photo-references.com is a new, ongoing collection of AI free, CC license wildlife photography for artists. It looks promising so far.

Whew. I think I'm finally done with that #vtuber model I've been working on since like.. Months ago. Pretty dang happy with the result! Done in a mix of Nomad, a teeny bit of Zbrush (comparatively), Blender, and Substance Painter. youtu.be/EDf0vuFV0Jw #3dArt #CharacterDesign

Finished up my entry for the Reallusion 3d Character contest thingy. Not sure what its normal hashtag would be because that name is stupid long. Anyhoo, posted the full thing on my ArtStation as required, enjoy some highlights here:

This is the best way to show off #WIP projects, right? Jules really likes laptops.

It's all fun and games until your bird decides to parody Magritte's The Son of Man.

Couple of things I've done for #ArtFight that I hadn't posted on here yet! Wish I had time to do even more The elf lookin' guy is Cornelius Fable, a character from CanaryWitch on AF. The pigeon guard is Alton, character from mintfizzles on AF. #ArtFight2024

Actually, I'mma post a belated #PortfolioDay post on here too just so peeps can see who the heck I am on this empty account. I do illustration and have done consumer products too. My free choice illustration work is usually creature/animal focused. Also, I do 3d stuff too! I do all the things.

I forgot I made an account here >_> May still be a bit before I get real content here, but you can stumble across my portfolio here: onyxserpent.com
