Rest in peace, our sweet baby Roxy, aka, Bubba. Your favorite thing to do was rest in the summer grass, and this is how I’ll remember you. Warm and happy in the sun. You left too soon. We’ll miss you always. We’re all glad you were in our lives. ❤️💔❤️

Nothing more frustrating than spending lots of time on art with nothing to show. Yet. Obviously we don’t stop where we are.
I blame society for its unwillingness to let artists disappear into their own worlds for long stretches of time and return safely. It’s not supposed to be like this. #indiedev

First Blender Animation! 🎉
Was working on a turn-based RPG concept when my brain took a sharp turn onto this detour. Pretty neat to see it work! Those arms are not battle-ready, though... put your elbows down!
Anyway, I've never done this before and I'm a little proud

I’m starting 2025 angry, apparently.
All I want is the space to be creative. And 2024 did everything it could to prevent that.
So far this year, as of the 6th, I’ve had to deal with toxic family, financial insecurity, and dog cancer.
Everyone is about to find out what I can do when I’m angry.

My first true year of game development has involved building personal libraries in addition to skills. Any frustration is slightly lessened knowing that I can always find time for doodles; and have some things to plug-and-play with when I do get in front of a computer.

The #holidays are always a time of immense frustration. I get flooded with so many ideas, but carving any time to work on them is nigh impossible. I will be forever annoyed that the world doesn’t have a pause button. I have games to make, dammit!

I mean, why is it so damn hard to 3D model one damn pixie cut?

One pain of #gamedev is the days of experimenting. It’s fun and cool to see stuff work, but there’s usually little to nothing on the surface for others to see. Instead of “I did something!” I always feel like I’m pleading: “I promise I did something!”

Mornings have become special. Personal creative time while my kids sleep. Next-level in my journey here is to go back-and-forth between #Blender and #Krita, testing different methods for unwrapping and painting models. I'm after a cartoony look, but I also need an easy workflow.

I moved my desk today. Which, though not exactly what I had planned for, turned out really well. I so often wish I could spend countless days drawing and designing. But when I do something like this, it serves as a reminder of how good it is to reorient myself and world after such a shit year.

So I've been stupid busy. Go figure since I just bought this tablet. But I squeezed in a little doodle time between adult tasks. Here's a not terrible doodle of Mr. Fantastic from today's warmup page. I have no idea what color his face and hair are - I'm colorblind.

And I’d just like to put out there it irks me to no end when people say “I appreciate you.” I still don’t have a living wage or healthcare. Or even a lunch break, for that matter. All I hear is a veiled “thoughts and prayers” [ 2/2 ]

I’m a checker in a grocery store, which kind of sucks. So there are chunks of my week where I’m standing in one place for hours with no option to create, draw, or even just spend time with my kids. And I hate every minute of it. I’m a creative soul and I need to create like I need to breathe [ 1/2 ]

Digital artists, share some tips and experiences, please!
What’s your hotkey setup?
My ex always said this was an unjustifiable expense. Getting divorced sucked, but I think I’m happier with the tablet.

I’ve been using Blender for almost a year now. Last night I was zoning out but not ready for bed, so I put together this generic model. It’s exciting to see what a year’s worth of practice can do. I work today, but I really want to rig this thing and see what it can do in a game.
