he is very strong, but he is not in a hurry.
(he insists that he needs both void blades)

For $25, give me a song and band name and I will create an adopt for you based on the song in this style!

The money obtained will go towards paying for the HESI Exam so I can get into the Dental Hygiene program at my college!

fun fact: Praedius has over 100 Japanese blendshapes on his avatar that make him look amazing in all of vrchat's dance worlds (unfortunately for him).

I sure do love making a weird little creature!!
vrchat photo on a black background showing two 3D models of the same catlike creature, one in a horizontal flying pose, and the other in a neutral forward-facing pose. the creature has a shadowed face with one large pink glowing eye and a matching pink grin. its hands are detached and floating, and its body is made of long strips of something red and paper-like, curled upward at the ends. it has a pink halo, but also has little devil horns. neopets screenshot of a customization of a wraith aisha that has one eye, a pink grin, and a mostly red outfit. blender screenshot showing the same catlike 3D model from the first picture, in a T-pose on a grey grid background. there is a front and back view, and the back view shows it has a dark, drippy tail.

I’ve been gainfully employed for a month! rent is paid! bills are under control! I’m workin my 40 hours! I can still stay up late sometimes??

I can tell I’m feeling better because I felt like doing a little craft, so now my Labubu has tiny Tripp pants.

Hey friends!
In August, the cafe I was working for closed suddenly, leaving me unemployed for almost two months. I won't get a paycheck from my new job until the 10th, leaving me $600 short for rent and pretty hungry until then.

if you can, any little bit helps!

drawing my neopets as creepy plant creatures is self care ♥

Happy Bori Day, Neopians!
My Quadruped Bori VRChat Avatar is available on gumroad:

Neopia Central VRChat's BIG update dropped today too, and a good handful of these quad boris are available to try on there.

Calling all Neopians!This VRChat Unity package is for my quadruped Bori model, based on the Bori species from Neopets! It is a reworked version of my Anthro Bori avatar and utilizes the same animators...

if you visit Praedius while exploring Neopia Central VRChat, he will be rude to you (but only a little).

apologies for the wait on world updates! but it's finally coming: look for the world update on Monday Oct. 13th, which is also Bori day on Neopets!

I'm sure posting this at 4am will be fine!!

I will get back to my regularly scheduled Neopets-posting tomorrow, but today KurtJMac is reaching the Far Lands after over 14 years and I haven't felt such excitement for an online event since Twitch Plays Pokemon.

I haven't sewn anything in a while, so I spent a few hours hand sewing a little shirt for my labubu. I got the accessories while trinket trading at the renaissance faire a couple months ago. I think I want to complete this outfit with some kind of hooded cloak.
it's nice to do a little craft!

I'm steadily working on a few new, maybe secret?? areas to explore in Neopia Central VRChat! You DO have a flying avatar, right? ;D

There are invisible walls around Neopia Central VRChat, but if you're an out of bounds kind of explorer, you may have discovered they're not infinitely tall. There isn't anything to see out there but mess (pictured), but I'm thinking I might add something to reward folks who have escaped the tubes.

something to look forward to with the next update to Neopia Central VRChat is that I replaced all the ugly disc buttons that toggle the music with meepits!
they don't look out of place just hanging out in random corners, and it is their song that plays, after all.

August has been a little bit rough but I've been working on Neopia Central VRChat when I can. Updates include laying to rest the old bori avatars (I put em in a grave), adding the Magma Pool (not pictured), and actually doing something about the scale of Dead Chia.

My workplace has announced its closure at the end of the month. Fifteen years a customer there and just under five as a barista, I've not known life in this city without this cafe acting as my favorite meeting place. It's been a queer community pillar forever. And because of landlord bullshit, poof.

What is this weird grid on my pet customization, and how can I get rid of it? I adopted this pet from the pound yesterday. #neopets

ALSO
with prep for pride and the renaissance faire back to back, I haven't gotten much 3D model work done over the last month. I have to modify the quad bori to be quest compatible still, so it will likely be released with the Neopia Central update. still shooting for sometime in August!

Praedius turned 22 on the 15th, and I did end up redrawing his first pic again, since 3D models are disallowed in the BC and I wanted to enter him for his birthday.
He got silver, which completes the 5th row of trophies on his lookup!

I've never had such an accurate quiz result before. ;w;
(exception is that I am very, very good at sitting still for very long stretches of time, because sometimes I forget I have a body)
a picrew of a human character with short purple hair text reads: "your result: neurodivergent coded. you're the one weirdo character who's a weirdo in just the right way. you miss the social cues, you can't flirt, you like things purely on color or texture. you fidget, you can't sit still, your house is either extremely dirty or very neat. reddit hates you, tumblr loves you."
