I will put all sorts of fun monstery stuff here. Mainly 3D renders, work on models, etc...
I am also @snakeworx.monster, where I sell the Ophidian avatar, and more to come!

Just finished a speed project in 3 days for the @vrchat.com Spookality contest! He's a headless horse-man, aka a beheaded centaur. Don't worry, though, he found a spare horse head lying around he can rest on his shoulders. vrchat.com/home/avatar/...

Oops! Meant to include this one of the bug-eyed glabrezu as well. See, he is nice!

I have been playing around with my Glabrezu model. I might have gone too far.
I think 13 eyes might be the right number, though!

"Creature" is such a good term.
It's gender neutral, it rejects humanity, it implies danger or anomaly, and it's valid for any species.

Not everyone celebrates our 4th of July holiday, for good reason. But everyone SHOULD celebrate Year of the Snake, and the 4th is a good excuse for watching sky explosions. :)

I think this on @furality.org friends page might mean it is actually over.
:(
I don't want it to be. It was such, such a great weekend. It is going to feel so weird tomorrow morning, not getting up and immediately looking for an instance of something to join to hang out with friends.

Fireworks are by @starport55.bsky.social, extra FX by @windyote.bsky.social, music by @hiyu.bsky.social and @ashtalon.bsky.social , with assistance from the entire Furality Creative Team. <3

And also on @furality.org, I simply cannot give enough praise to @lomg.fyi and the rest of the staff who built up the club world. Every year it gets better. Similarly, the fireworks... Don't have a link for who did those, but wow, also something I can just watch over and over.

I was "attending" @furality.org all weekend, the VR con. As much as I may grumble about the terrible schedule, I LOVE the event: wonderful venues and a chance to be a horrible monster with friends all weekend. Honestly, better than any "normal" con.
I am SO not ready to go back to being a human.

Snakeworx (@snakeworx.monster), making VRChat avatars is now a thing! I've just released the Ophidian avatar there, available on snakeworx.itch.io/ophidian or snakeworx.gumroad.com

Grrrr. I have a high-end #maingear laptop from a few years ago and its trackpad has failed. They outsource repairs to #microcenter... which only does repairs with in-person drop-off. Of course, they don't have one anywhere NEAR Seattle (why?!?). So, a multi-thousand dollar laptop mostly useless.

Looks like I am going to make a last-minute weekend trip up to #Vancoufur this weekend. If anyone I know will be there, let me know! :)

I feel like I have fallen into the trap of having pretty flat lighting. That is good for reference images where I want to see the whole creature in its entirety, it lacks something in a final image. This is an attempt at more effective lighting to go along with a dynamic pose.

I know that dragon! :) Well, I suppose I should say I am that dragon.
I tried to be as unique as I could with these photos. I didn't want any two to look the same and have an idea of what the product would look like before approaching the suiter.

I really like highly dynamic poses in my snakes. Rising up like this, with deep S curves, really accentuate just how strong and powerful the snake would be. Add to that exposed fangs and spitting venom, and it's just downright unfair!
Oh, and happy year of the snake, in a couple days! :)====<

It's been just over a year since I left Amazon and basically retired. Recently has it hit me just how burned out I was: I am only now really starting to get over it. The biggest thing was how overly protective of second of free time I was; I felt like I had to justify absolutely everything I did,

Someone seems to be enjoying himself out on the water! It's been too cold here to (enjoyably) sail lately, so I have given Nalkazhiil a bit of time on some warm water somewhere. :) Must be nice to be able to bow-ride like that and still steer the boat.

Ssssssnek! While I don't post everything I render here by any means, I will pick some. I like this fellow because I think he ends up in a pretty inhuman, snake-like pose, yet still looks rather upbeat and curious, maybe not even particularly threatening, despite what he is.

I'm going to be at FC this coming weekend... Wondering who else there I might run into?

I'm learning to slither! This is a pair of animation clips of me working on equations for motion for the snake, automating the slither animation. Turns out, that's not trivial to do! There are still some issues with unwanted lateral motion, but it is getting closer to how I think he would move!

After a while of working on with a bunch of monsters, I went back to my snakey roots. Been working on a new texture for the main snake dude, since the original one was way more skin-like. This is my take on the new texturing, which I think makes him look way more like an actual snake than the old.

We cannot stress enough that adventurers should not attempt to steal from this vault, as it is well guarded. Attempts to bribe the guard with a cut of the gold stolen are almost certainly ill-advised, at best.
Attempts to steal the guard itself, while tempting, are entirely to be avoided.

Finally, this fellow is my latest VRChat avatar. Next time I log in, I'll get a pic of his full body. Now that I am retired (did I mention that? :) ), I am going to spend some time on these avatars and try and make some of the models available for sale.

Of course, Odon's followers are exactly what you would expect. One thing about the snake form I would find very appealing would be the verticality: I am not sure, given the chance, they would spend much time on the ground at all.
