Semi-disabled art gremlin. I do 3D modeling and illustration, with a bit of sewing here and there. (I like editing VRChat avatars, & drafting plush patterns rn a lot. Comms open for those.)

Ultrasound.
Still need to make a monthly payment of $500-600 this month for that ER trip in February. 💀

As for the wings, thinned out the arms a bit, removed paw pads, added those black diamonds.
(getting the diamonds weight painted to the wings was low-key suffering but not rly toooo bad)

A majority of it is just a very heavy re-texture.

This is an edit of @voxian.bsky.social 's 4Paw VRChat Avatar for @s0lchaser.seeks.quest and it's been very fun to work on.
Love that it can go quad.

Plush planning for someone's fave. Flynn from the Skylanders series. I love his lil smirk.

Color blocking layout and layering. Small details are intended to be appliques. (Pockets, small stripes, belt buckle etc. I can't digitize them but I can make the template for 'em ot be digitized

Nat 🎨 @nathahniel.bsky.social · 20d

Im an American so the only way we'll be able to afford this long list of specialists we need for my SO would be hoping a GoFundMe goes viral

Still mad Abt that 6k ER bill
I can have a computer in my hand at all times but if I need medical attention? 🦅Fuck u🇺🇸

Being able to breath is a business baby

I mostly play with polygons these days.
Doing basic VRChat avatar setup/edits.
Hopefully I can get back to drawing soon too though. Maybe the burnout is slowly receeding.

Nat 🎨 @nathahniel.bsky.social · 24d

Fellow artists. When you go out anywhere where you might sit for a while, do you bring your sketchbook?

And maybe also not even draw in it?

Is The Emotional Support Sketchbook a universal experience?

OH MAN That'd be so fun. I've been meaning to dabble with a low poly style VRChat avatar or so that has sprite based expressions a la N64/PS1. Or similar to spyro with "physical" facial features. 👀

Nat 🎨 @nathahniel.bsky.social · Aug 23

Not a fan of having to spend literally what I make in an entire year doing freelance on medical care

Healthcare is only for the wealthy.

Booooo. So uncool.

Nat 🎨 @nathahniel.bsky.social · Aug 23

thats not getting into other issues that cause him to lose 2-3 hrs/day living in the bathroom feeling nausea
how all of it affects his ability to work.

I think this man needs disability or something to help get things under control bc we sure as shit cant afford the 5 specialists he needs rn

SOs health issues are trashing my productivity to do work junk bc my entire schedule from 1-7 AM consists of trying to herd his unconscious narcoleptic(?) body to bed so he can maybe get more than 1-3 hrs asleep in a BED.

Sleep falling hurts.
Sleep standing sing exactly restful sleep either.

I had to be nerfed.
I'd be too powerful otherwise.

When I beat this shit.
I'll be so powerful.

You ever see other artists do something you've always wanted to do, but you can't because you're too busy struggling to barely function and exist?

It makes me want to lay down and sleep for forever.

I wish I could've turned out to be a functional person instead of a crippled mental health wreck

It was well received. c:
Made it for a lil older lady who has adopted the SO and I as honorary kids/grandkids as thanks for giving me such a warm welcome when I moved here and inviting us to dinner p regularly.

She LOVES black cats.

In other more positive news:

I finally finished this darn cat plush I started for a gift last November.

Pretty pleased with how it turned out for my first go at anything realistic/poseable art doll adjacent. 🐈‍⬛
