That makes sense. I love the more community driven feel of bsky. Social media platforms are awful for gallery purposes, so I always believed the value in them was in connecting with other artists in the fandom.

Oof, true. AI slop and bots running rampant are one of the main reasons I left that site to begin with. Glad that the problem hasn't manifested itself here (yet?)

ShyCryptid 🐲 @shycryptid.bsky.social · 1d

Hmm, that's comforting to know- I definitely prefer bsky overall. Do you still post your art on Twitter as well?

I'm not very connected to social media trends, but does it seem like most folks have returned to using Twitter/X as their primary platform? I can't really fault commission/fandom artists for that when their success is tied to their audience... Hm.

Gosh, when we saw her skulking about, she looked so small... It's easy to forget how dangerous these kitties can be.

I'm sorry about Brave and the rest of the flock, I didn't know them too well, but I enjoyed all their little personality quirks when I visited!

Made a bet with a friend; said I'd draw a sexy anthro-Magus if he pulled her without spending any real money on the banner.

He only had enough for 3 pulls from the event and he got her on the 3rd pull

So.... robot dragon gun wife time??

Nisha, my beloved....

I really love how you drew her face- it's the right amount of cute and soft yet sharp and confident ❤️

The dragon is from Anthrosonae, and the kobold is from Rapidfyre's Kobolds

I decided to retopo Kloey's arm. I'm not sure where I picked up the habit of twisting the edgeloops from, but it was causing issues, and I have yet to see another model twist the forearm geometry like that.

The end result is a much smoother silhouette, so I think it was worth it!

I apologize for the lack up updates lately; work and life kept me busy, and I wasn't able to work on it as much as I would have liked to.

Testing today went very well! I think the VRC weighting is all done finally, and I received the finished blender animation rig from DivideByeZer0! Release soon??

ShyCryptid 🐲 @shycryptid.bsky.social · Aug 18

Honestly I feel that- It is an incredibly powerful aura

Recently treated myself to getting vives for FBT and I can't agree more- There's something so fun about being able to puppeteer your models and watch them come to life!

Turns out I had an extra spine bone in Kloey's armature this entire time, which was causing VRC to incorrectly assign the torso bone to a bone that was much lower than intended.

I've already fixed and uploaded everything for testing. Hopefully it's the last time I have to make weighting edits... 🥲

designed a friend's fursona last night while in a call, heavily inspired by the work of @radarwarble.bsky.social

drawing of an anthropomorphized shark woman. she has soft horns, hair, and is wearing a wetsuit with gloves and a diving knife. she's based off of the Great White Shark
