lizard thing, definitely undead.
well, shit. innit been a quick minnit.
progress with 'understanding' hand forearm and foot/leg anatomy better is steadily improving as I advance my interests in 3d form and sculpting, which segues into the main topic of todays interlude;
I've started back into the hobby of papercraft, making 3d objects in the real world 'for funnies' in the vein of making fursuit/costume heads & helmets from various media I've enjoyed. mostly out of EVA as a base but I'm very much into exploring the medium with mostly recycled materials to save on waste.
also been looking at 3d-printing to use as a tool for other processes. such as making custom and replacement components for my cars and around the home. you know, what everyone tells themselves before they're printing all kinds of random crap because "it looked cool" to be honest, the novelty* is why i'm interested.
*to print cute shark/dragon girls
employment is rough at the moment but it's a means to fund all the random bullshit i do in my spare time, so it could always be worse. that said when the opening to gtfo dodge pokes its ears up, i'm taking it with both hands.
at any rate I'll trickle upload the backlog when I cbf, the rabbits are demanding to be released for play and I've gotta keep em off the skirting boards.
as always, have a good one & don't let the bunnies escape.
been on a nostalgia trip while i take a break from fixing cars. (it's my day job after all)
making headway for a custom partial fursuit cos I've been wanting something less nuts-and-bolts to sink my teeth in. but in between I've gotten into a funk about things I used to get up to and gaming communities rapidly dying out. like the oversaturation is getting to people.
maybe I'm reading too far into it but in a month all the GMOD servers I regularly play on that had a sizeable regular player base all got nuked at once, like a machinegun of disinterest by server owners. and it's been hitting heaps of other obscure communities I'm in. like everyone is actively retiring from their hobbies at once. I am acutely aware of why people are choosing to invest less time into their joys but it's bittersweet in a way.
for example i used to help run a super obscure short stories forum that was run off some dudes PC. when he 'retired' (closed the site cos he was going to pass away) we all hung out in IRC chat and had a laugh about silly comments and stories people made before the 'end of the world' it was a small ass group of less than 40 people and we all loved the topic material but it was a flash-in-the-pan sort of deal. I'm super glad i was there when it happened cos those peoples characters are all in my mental image of that final story ending. i often wonder how they are all travelling, now we're all adults.
I'll prob post bits and pieces of stories i spitballed when i was young and emotional but the point is that I'm bored and scribbling my thoughts down. lest they get lost to time. I'm always looking for something that scratches the particular itch.
let's make fun, enjoy things. time isn't gonna let us go back and do it again.
hello, Coco here.
So, I've had a lot of art atrophy over the last decade or so due to a head injury way back that basically factory reset the ole tapioca. recently something *clicked *and I've started having that natural energy come back again, like my whole life has suddenly changed gears and idk what to make of it.
so I'm doing what any socially anxious madman does and am COMPLETELY IGNORING IT. (until i have more information to form a correct understanding) but i am trying to draw more often and setting a goal to drastically improve my gesture drawings over the next month. give er a good crack eh? seems to be off to a slow start but aren't all things? do it a bit shit once or twice then start getting the hang of it.
i've got that batshit crazy energy in my court, just gotta wrangle it in the right direction with the right amount of specificity to find the thing i really struggle with and hone in from there ig. not much else for it, really.
asdadasdasdas filler text cos I'm too tired to think anymore, hope whoever tf is reading has a nice day. I don't think anyone actually reads these so I'm just screaming at the void hoping the unimaginable formless horror comes over to play Uno. or at least that's what I tell the sleep paralysis demon before we argue about shark girls and tail-related clothing.
have a good one cobbers.
Something I'm going to be upfront about is that i rarely finish anything beyond the early quick scribble phase. i like to get the ideas down and to play with them when i can be stuffed. saving those fleeting ideas down one at a time for when I'm good enough to do them the justice i feel those ideas deserve.
There's lots of stuff I've "finished" and won't post, cos I'd prefer to cherry pick what I'm most fond of, it's usually one or two sketches out of several dozen that I'll bother saving into anything other than the programs native format.
I've got a several page comic i was working on called 'Bleppers' that was largely concepted but never actually finished because I can not decide on the visual time period i wanna portray. like early 90's to mid 2000's with some 2010's flair, but i get lost in the details. with work as it is I've not the time these days to commit like ages ago but I'm putting in time cos it's fun again. the rough idea about it is
[REDACTED] you lost the game [DATA EXPUNGED]
and that's just swell.
All my rambling aside I'm motivated to do my best compared to yesterday even if it's just a slight improvement on a single pen stroke. that said i won't post much unless I'm feeling chatty. to whomever is still reading? have a good one.
giving sheezy a good spin since nuking myself off the face of the earth before the machine learned hellscape burned up the net. still getting my bearings. so far so good.
i just wanna draw silly little dudes, man.
