oh yea so havnt posted with this acc for a loong while cuz reasonsss, probably retiring this acc doin a bit of a uhh character "rebrand" ig, moved to @larahartwip.bsky.social

This was today's hyperfocus...

Paper Partners!!

I swear to fucking Christ, I'm either gonna get killed by the fascists currently taking over or from having a stroke trying to get liberals to accept that it's actually happening.

both models for this character are exactly 2 years apart (january 28, 2023 and this week) and it's pretty jarring to have such a clear example of how much my modeling style has changed since then more progress of this character is on the patreon if you're interested

pretty much finished the calico just needs more face textures and maybe try my hand at actual animation. more pics/vid below

It is ready! It was so much fun creating this font. I'll probably make some more for my future projects 🤩 If you wanna support me or are interested in getting the font I set up a page on my itch :) raiton.itch.io/medieval-pix... #itch #pixelart #font #pixel #gamedev #gameart #videogame #retro

Made the animals too bouncy

Always 💖 Don't make me tap the sign

do ever wanna just scream into the void at the top of your lungs with all the wacky facist bullshit going on? cuz i do. "AaAAAaAAAGHhHH!!!" --cmon scream with me it helps. "AAaaAaAAAAAAGGHhH!" great job! -that was an epic war cry, & we're gonna need one if we wanna win the fight against fascism.

#gamedev peeps, you guys have that thing where you get an amazing premise for a game; thematic, mechanic, or narrative, and you spend like an entire hour spontaneously jotting down all the amazing ideas flowing into your brain, only to go.. ..damn. this probably outside the scope of my ability.

Updates on my web 3D viewer ☑️ right-click to change light angle ☑️ button to toggle auto-rotation ☑️ new normals view ☑️ cleaner wireframe view ☑️ works with multi-material models I basically remade sketchfab 😆

late upload cuz my internet speed is actual garbage. (nintendo switch 2 reaction and discussion) #Nintendo #NintendoSwitch2

as someone who's super autistic about logo design.. the #NintendoSwitch2 doesn't have ..the *worst* logo i've ever seen, but perhaps the most disappointing. i feel like i managed something better in five minutes low effort on my laptop. (surely given time i or the fandom could do way better even.)

they really just called it the Nintendo Switch 2. lol i was so sure they'd call it something cool like the "Nintendo Switch Duo" or just "The Duo" with the subtitle of Nintendo Switch. but no, they REALLY must've wanted to make it clear with this one so as not to end up with a Wii U situation.

need for speed it is an absolute rush play a literal supervillain with no regard for traffic safety or other drivers on the road. huh? --oh im not talking about being a racer, playing the cop you have no conscience; reak havok, endanger everyone around, get promoted. disturbingly realistic.

i keep having dreams about going to the store and buying bannana juice. what are the aliens trying to tell me?

sugar, spice, and everything nice 🎀 #powerpuffgirls

mini autistic rant: it bothers me that legos aren't perfect cubes, they're rectangular prisms. why aren't you a cube. what are you hiding.

why is it so hard to find bannana juice / bannana smoothie drink when they're literally the most delicious fruit ever in juice form. heck, we even have artificial bannana flavoring (modeled after a now extinct strain) if real bannanas are too complicated to use. this smells like a juice conspiracy.

More of the lighting experiment! It's been working really well with the pixel art. #indiedev #indiegame #gamemaker

#gamedev #indiedev #UE5 --oh wait, did i never post this anywhere? SO UH yeaa, here's some progress i've made on a #WIP tank game i've been toying with. footage is actually is from a month or two ago, i haven't made much progress control wise, still janky. mechanics, story, and hook still secret.

it is once again that time of night where i lie awake spinning, wondering whether i have body dysmorphia, gender dysphoria, general dysphoria, or all of the above. hooray.

Making something for boss rush jam #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev

#amphibia #deltarune i had this weird idea a year ago, to the month, even arted some of it out ..but got block. only now am i working to finish it. i realize im not the only one whos had this #amphibarune idea, still i think the vibe im aiming for is very very interesting. #fanart #artist #art #wip

this year was the first time i ever celebrated a "chris-mas" or however the people say, and i gotta say, not once in the night did a bearded man break into our house. was a little dissapointing /jk we made the tree and ate cookies and stuff, it was fun, but feels weird never having a holiday before

#gamedev you ever have that thing where you work on a game; an idea you've been workshopping for weeks/months.. only to then get a way better, concise idea, and now you gotta look at the work you've put in to your prev project, say "WELP," and bin it? cuz yeaa i think that's where i'm currently at

i didn't know it was funkin possible to find a keyboard physically attractive but oh my GOSH look at the chonky keys, the bold typeface, the NES pallet, --AGGH its so pretty i want it i want it i waant it!!

i know have even older designs on a hard drive.. but a lot of the design and style in the current concept originated from this one sketch. ( admittedly thinking about rehauling the design again ) #oc #sona #b3d #blender

Good morning. Pardon more Neg art but it’s a foggy, quiet day in the city and there’s always an air of mystery when a city this huge is smothered in a Silent Hill or The Mist level fog. www.pixiv.net/users/1566023

Blue birds huddling together for warmth

holy crap this looks so cool??

i was always suspicious of the Honey browser extension due to the aggressive marketing for what supposedly was a "free" product ..well turns out it applies an affiliate link without your concent to take a % of the purchase; even if it no coupons worked, also robbing millions from actual affiliates.

helped set up christmas tree at friends house but it needed a touch of something lentil

friend ? #wip #blender #b3d #animation #indiedev

Chopped down a tree at the wrong level? The watering can 'can' restore it back to its original state! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #gamemaker

idk if anyone even noticed but i started writing posts in lowercase because i'm always worried something i say may come come off as too "assertive..??" what kind of autism is this?

I have a bunch of new lowpoly projects to post. But for now here is an old one! #FFXIV #Viera

#animation been stumped for a while on what to call my golem things, but currently considering calling them "amatons," a pun on italian word "amato" (beloved) and automaton. as for individuals, i've hard a hard time coming up with any names.. (1/2) #blender #b3d #indieanimator #indiedev

#wip #animation spent basically all of today trying to animate my stretchy golem thingy.. managed to get like half of it done. i haven't done any walk cycles or turns in a long while so its a little funky. #blender #b3d

experimenting with my telescopic IK arm again. i was pretty satisfied with how the original turned out, but wanted more control over bend and individual points; that's the sucky part about IK. here's my progress so far.. cool, but still not quite there. (1/2) #blender #b3d #animation #indiedev

hmmm.. howw do i complain about feeling ugly, inadequate, by various metrics depressed in absence of adequate support, without coming off to others as a downer.. 💡--oh! oh! ideeea. i will continue to smush these feelings deep down and pretend everything is fine -YESS.. surely it will work this time

lowpoly Lady from Thomas and the Magic Railroad! i wanted to take a break from gamedev and do something fun.. that ofc is still technically gamedev 🤷‍♀️ there to be a train in areas of my game, and thought it would be a cute cameo, once i fudge the design a bit. #blender #indiedev #gamedev #animation

Her name is Cameri, and she's a cute little ..bee? I created the concept + animation for this character a while ago, and attempted to post a gif before, but just now realized I can post videos, so.. (more info behind the design process below) #blender #b3d #animation #characterdesign #indiedev

i haven't much experience in modeling vehicles.. even in low poly it's difficult, but i like how they are coming along. - flat colors are hopefully temporary? texture-wise i'm still unsure of what I'm going to do, or how detailed to get with it. #gamedev #indiedev #blender #b3d #lowpoly

AAAAGGGGGGGGGHHGHHHGH ( --manually unwrapping these uvs took so many hourrss ) ( also hi yea im working on a game ) #blender #b3d #gamedev

I don't think I've laid out a timeline for the process for this character, but I wanted to share, perhaps do a video in the future. It was an interesting exercise where the design of a bee emerged from a necessity of things I wanted it do. #characterdesign #blender #b3d #oc #animation

there are a LOT of people talking about this game rn but I thought I'd share my thoughts as one of a few who actually grew up with this weird piglet game. It was, in fact, traumatizing, but that's what I've always loved about it, and it made the experience a core memory for me. #pigletsbiggame

Sharks are sensitive 🦈 #art #sharks #comic

old wip stuff i still haven't got around to finishing concept 2d to 3d #oc #character #b3d #blender
