Halloween was good! Met an Alpenflage wizard! Alpenwizard?
In any case, he had rad red camo and a cool floppy hat.

The final version of my piece "Perception"
Started off a soft pastel, added fixative, then overpainted with acrylic.
#SoftPastel #AcrylicPainting #MixedMedia #Multispectral #Bunnies
It of course doesn't show in a still photo, but I had to hit it with the shimmer and metallic. My only regret is not getting a pic under blacklight.

I'm extremely pleased to announce that my piece "Perception" was bought on the first day of exhibition! ^_^
The gallery staff said it received multiple offers, even with the "sold" sticker on the placard. Guess I need to paint more bunnies!

Stopped by the park the other day and played around with soft pastel on black canvas.

I'm thinking of naming it "Perception" or the like.

This is why my airbrush and spray gun kept clogging! Grr!
On the upside this fabric dye went through silky smooth after being filtered.
I just used a normal hardware store paint sieve stuffed into a funnel to get all the particulates out.

Happy National Chili Dog Day #2, btw!

This was, in fact, another pair of dogs, and they were, in fact, also delicious.

Too sick to do anything else today but doodle around on the tablet, so tried practicing some rough gestural sketches. They were torturously messy lol.
Ran out of ideas so used the (fantastic) refs from @trueref.bsky.social including a surprise appearance of @alyankovic.bsky.social in a suit.
Blegh. Sorry for all the snot, folks, but be glad you don’t have to witness it in person.

It's only a WIP. Been trying to follow some tuts on rigging for use in Unreal, but needed some practice with another model.

Good morning.
It's actually a half-moon.

Today I leaned what stromboli was. This is a celebration of that occurrence.

Come make prints with me if you're in the Frederick/Brunswick area, it'll be fun!!
Here's some gel block prints from different people in the last class I did:
We got flag prints, colored pencil, there were stencils for various shapes and emblems, we painted and embossed, it was a good time.

I sold this guy yesterday! :3
As a celebration, here's one of his secrets:
Different wavelengths for different folks.

Planning more stats to balance! Body type would change the maximum payload a player could carry (including weapons), fuel capacity, fuel burn rate, target signature, HP, hitbox size, maneuverability, and more.
#MechGame #UntitledMechGame #ConceptArt #CharacterCustomization
Observe the sacred geometry, an array of possible shapes. Balance is achieved towards the center, with each step outwards more tenuous than the last. The universe seeks balance, and to forge ahead in such a oblique path would require extreme determination.

I wish that the thumbnail of this wouldn't cut off the pointy end, but perhaps the pointy end is a tad too pointy anyhow. Oh well, v0.1 at least.

I'm honor of Easter Bunday, here's an old resurrected bun from long ago.
This bun looks like he's seen other days, better or not.

Creatures enjoy color too. How else would a bee pick one flower to alright upon in a field of flowers? Besides accident, of course, the delightful bumbling creatures. Spring is coiled tight, ready to burst free at any moment.

We are all travelers in this world, temporary residents, transients. Wash in the sun, relish the moon, and ease the burdens and share the joys of being here with those you can.

Concept sketches for mech critters and character customization parts.
#UntitledMechGame #IndieGameDev #Mechs #MechGame #ConceptArt #IndieGameDev #2d #DigitalArt #ProCreate #Robot #Critters
Various critters in various stages of brainstorming. Also critter claws, clip-clops, and cattails. Various themes, random colors, no textures.

Oops! Tried in #Blender to test out how the folding wings for the #mech would work, and discovered some complications involving how/where in the world everything would fit together without clipping. Additional articulation may be in order...

#MechGame #3d #Blender3d #GameDev #IndieGameDev #WIP
With straight wings they end up clipping on the, uh, ample posterior geometry. Kinda looks like a funky beetle tho.

Oh yeah, forgot I had this one. Special photography.

#AcrylicPainting #Painting #Photography #ExtraVisual #Spectral #Reflectance #FurryArt
To those who are familiar with this sort of photography, the grass is a dead giveaway. I'm always fascinated how this sort of spectral pickiness can yield dramatically unusual reflectances across different materials and pigments.
