Thought I'd share for anyone who wants it, since it's been increasingly annoying/time consuming to find varied photo references. I made this marten ref sheet way, way back when I started Oren's Forge. It's a mix of NA and European martens and I use it mostly for ear angles. #marten #animal

I could get used to this

Mood - Leaving modern society to live in the wild as a cute pine marten and build a new life, sharing a cozy burrow with their partner. 🍂✨💞

Feeling like I’ve mostly figured out visually pleasing slicing parameters in OrcaSlicer! Also giving 0.4mm nozzles a try, they’re not too bad for detail work like this. This is a Longboi model I found on Printables

I keep forgetting we can do video here now. Bluesky, please enjoy this delightful woodland creature (an ermine, I believe!) that showed up in my driveway yesterday

More TFs, not less.

if you're wondering, this is how to measure a weasel:

True love is when both partners do this to each other!

Thinking back to that time in college where my music major friend told me about one of his intro classes where the professor played a song to demonstrate “see, even this can be called music” and it was just Burn the Witch by Radiohead

Curious

Windows has issue: Person: fuck this I'm going to Linux Narrator: and they quickly learned to hate two operating systems.

My Trident motors keep skipping steps, and I think I narrowed it down to my slicer settings allowing the acceleration to change too quickly. In other words, I jerked too hard

bad news dude, they're on the Fighter Select screen selecting and deselecting you over and over to make fun of your voice line. they're saying the little pose you do when selected is wack. they're rotating you

The Trident is alive! Already loving it! More modding to come :)

I feel so at home in the forest, and I'm here just chilling out after a really awesome photoshoot. @namarieart.bsky.social and I captured some awesome footage to share soon. Stay tuned.

maybe I should become a perf guy. the sort of guy who says "that will never fit in a single cache line" or "the hot path doesn't need to be this branchy". maybe this would fix me.

Bought my first 3D printer in March. Didn't know anything, thought it'd be everything I needed. Turns out the Sovol SV06+ an absolute turd of a printer, but I've spent the past 7 months upgrading and tuning it. (Genuinely) so much fun! Anyways, I have a Voron Trident kit on the way now lol

Apparently it's personal hell Friday as well. I did some home PC maintenance for some people and have a bit more to do. My basic rule on who I will do it for is as follows: "Would I fight a bear for you?" If not I won't fix your pc. This is not work that I missed.

1 helpful art advice I wish I knew earlier → 2D Art is an illusion. Much time spent learning to draw is figuring out why brain make funny strokes look like a tanigable object. Since you're constructing illusions, your goal is to render art that look good to the viewer, not to make art "correct"

Guy who recommends Linux regardless of the circumstances. His friend, bleeding out on the ground after being mauled by a sudden feral hog. "Dude you should switch to Linux this kind of stuff doesn't happen in linux"

Today I woke up thinking about how a marten with more realistic proportions would dress. To be more specific, where the waist of the pants would be. What do you think? Or if any of you are a real marten, you can share your looks if you want.
