Idk man, I've just been trying my best.

More art this month i guess

IM BACK, sometime on april i decided to challenge myself and make one random model which has been incredible at helping me develop a skillset (not the one i just posted, thats from 2022).

• the update on my wagie status is that im biding my time looking to get out and get somewhere in life i actually want to be.
• art progress has been slower than i've hoped for but its alright, considering how much im up to with mylife its far better than what most would endure.
• i also became sysyphus as of today and i believe to have had the most productive day all year, its going to suck trying to keep up with the increasing list of responsibilities Ive trapped myself with but tbf if i do this and i keep at it for the next 6 months, i have a comparatively clean slate ahead of me.
• to the 2 of you who actually read these, i want to say thank you and that i hid an anagram somewhere in here.
• idk if i'll actually get to where i want to be next year but im hoping that i can at least pick up that pencil and do something, maybe make my dreams come true idk.
• i lied about the anagram.

Another year another struggle.

really disappointed with how things went last year with how i was barely in here despite enjoying newgrounds quite a lot.

Im still on that soulsucking job and barely have time for myself, let alone art but im looking into ways of easing myself back into the groove of things, i had a good pace back in march but shit happened and i just didn't know how to handle it so i guess I'll just have to keep trying until something works. When responsabilities started to pile up in august i basically gave up on art and some other things as well. I realized i was going through the motions without actually doing much more besides what i was told to keep doing and as such i just mindlessly went through the year without much drive of my own, everything i learned in ghe orevious year about how i wanted to take control almost gone and back to my miserable state from before, I'll chuck it up to the new years resolutions but i do want to get more involved with my hobbies and relationships this year.

No idea where I'll go after this rant but we'll see

I'll be gone for a while longer

(June/July edit) I got a full-time job where I work somewhere around 10 to 12 hours, so that's been eating up my free time this past few months

so yeah computer fixed, still not back at full capacity specially because my new job keeps me extremely busy but hey it seems like having double the storage will come in handy for future projects. also i might be able to afford a drawing tablet soon-ish so you might be seeing 2d art from me in the not really near future me being busy and all

Not much else to say, i can't afford to have it checked so i guess see you all when i see you.

Don't let funni dog fool you im quite sad about it but given how much trouble it's been giving me this last year i knew it was going to break eventually. So yeah 👍

so, for a while i have been teasing that the 2 models I've made recently will be released to the public

(and by those models I'm talking about these 2

https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/pokeheadroom/rumblereveal-dad-trophy )

and after thinking about it i thought it would be a good idea if i released them in the newgrounds 3d repository which I'm hosting on GitHub

https://github.com/pokeheadroom/3D-NEWGROUNDS-GARBAGE-BIN

why a repo and why GitHub you may ask and the reason to that would be because i want to continue making models for some other characters on the site, that and i am also very comfortable with the repository format which allows me to just swoop in whenever i feel like it and maintain certain things if necessary.

there's also the fact that as of recently i decided to help render96 with some of its future projects, mainly the ocarina of time visual remake that will begin production at some point in the nearby future. its still too early to get into any specifics regarding the project but i am very excited to see what the folks at ship of harkinian are working on.

here is a twitter thread where you guys can keep up with that if you happen to know me because of my previous work in sm64 or if you simply like ocarina of time.

probably shouldn't be running my mouth on and on about all of this last part but if i seem less active than usual this may be the reason so its just a heads up. anyways point is enjoy the models and maybe it'll be a while before i fix those terrible rigs but it is what it is.

also I'm still working on that abobo thing so expect the release of that model alongside the reveal.

so since i've decided to make a few more extra rigs one for pixel day and later on one for the abobo art contest i thought it would be a better idea if i got to finish the DAD rig i promised earlier alongside all of the other ones I'm working on or planning to work on soon.

normally i would call this finished but since recently i've been getting acquaintanced with rigging i though it would be better if i improved on this by incorporating drivers into my rigs like for example toggles for objects/weapons or fk/ik switches since while practicing i noticed that sometimes there are things ik rigs cant really do so having the option to switch at any given time would be cool

wanted to update you guys on what i've been doing and all that since i often feel i unjustly neglect newgrounds a bit despite how great everyone in here so far has been pretty friendly towards me

so yeah as of 4 days ago i decided to learn how to sculpt and yeah i may make more stuff of that sort and heres some progress i've made

grant abbit's beginners guide to sculpting

Sculpting In Blender For Beginners - Full Course by Yansculpts

also heres this pretty funny edit isometricpixel made lol

today VienNL made my day, a while back V asked me if it was ok to use my ttc portrait and if i could make a higher res render he could use so i made a new one and today this is what greeted me in dms.

it warms my heart to see stuff like this.
