The actual secret to why I know stuff is that I ask a question any time I don’t understand literally anything. I don’t care how simple it is. Anybody who makes fun of you for asking a simple question likely doesn’t know the answer either

@dofresh.bsky.social I think it's time for a DoFresh artbook mate. Looks like @ianmcque.bsky.social 's Kickstarter was a massive success, and I can't think of too many things that would be better to keep it cozy on my bookshelf than a book full of your fantastic art right next to it. 🤘😃🤘

This is a priceless, brilliant opportunity to get one on one mentorship with one of the best concept artists out there these days. 🤘🤩🤘
I'm finally ready to launch a one-on-one mentorship. This is a very limited opportunity for people who prefer a customised experience. The whole class will be specially tailored to your needs, your current level and what you are trying to achieve.

I guess the ADHD meds are working, I've been in full focus on following a tutorial for a few days now and I haven't been able to manage even getting Blender open for a year or two. Here are some pics of the model I'm working on in the tutorial, and the last personal project I made four years ago.

So we're heading to Bristol for the weekend (and a few days next week) to go to this conference! Can't say I'm not also a little bit excited to go take the Hangar 16R tour and generally toot around the Aerospace Bristol (taking many, many reference photos) and numerous other museums as well! 😃
At our 'How to Get Published' conference in Bristol on 4th Oct you'll have the chance to hear from #authors Claire Fuller & Lily Dunn, who will be sharing their advice on #writing & the publication process.
