Finished the tail retopo and tested the bakes!

Gosh this took longer than I thought it would. Ended up being 5.6k polys for the tail alone- But she's still under 30K in total so there's plenty of polybudget left to work with.

Look at this polite lil guy!!!

I've been working with Wyrmworks on making a 3D model of ForestTheRotten's gatorgal, Caley Calypso!

There's still a long way to go before she's ready, but I wanted to share what I've been doing lately.

Wyrmworks has been doing all the sculpting, I'm handling all the retopo and unity stuff.

Warm-up doodle :)

A few Pyrexia expressions for warm-up practice

WIP of an updated Pyrexia. I ended up just fully redrawing this piece instead of sticking to my original plan of updating the older drawing. At any rate, it'll be a good way to compare how much I've hopefully improved.

Still feel pretty lost with backgrounds, though...

Not me going back to edit old Pyrexia WIPS by adding massive badonkers 🙃

(I'm sorry to all who preferred her without, I have succumbed to the illness)

Augh, I suppose it was only a matter of time...

Anyway, use jinxxy :)

I'll be releasing the big 2.0 update for PajamaMcHam's Kloey for VRChat this coming Friday (10/24)!

It will both be uploaded to Gumroad as a free update for existing users, and as a new listing on Jinxxy!

I hope you all enjoy it as much as I enjoyed working on her! c:

I apologize for the lack of communication regarding the Kloey model; I was visiting a friend last week, so I was away from my workstation.

However, I'm finishing up the store page assets for PajamaMcHam's Kloey model today. It's the only step left for the project so she should be ready to go soon!

Made a bet with a friend; said I'd draw a sexy anthro-Magus if he pulled her without spending any real money on the banner.

He only had enough for 3 pulls from the event and he got her on the 3rd pull

So.... robot dragon gun wife time??

I decided to retopo Kloey's arm. I'm not sure where I picked up the habit of twisting the edgeloops from, but it was causing issues, and I have yet to see another model twist the forearm geometry like that.

The end result is a much smoother silhouette, so I think it was worth it!

Old Talessa doodle from 2024

I ended up merging the nipple and body geometry together for the Kloey model. It might not be too noticeable, but it looks much better and should help with blender renders down the line. I've also fixed a number of weighting issues that were apparent in the photoshoot.

Kloey at the beach! (Kloey belongs to PajamaMcHam)

Today is the birthday!! Sadly, the balloons seem to have gotten lost on their way to bsky, so here's an old celebratory Pyrexia doodle instead.

Turning 34 now- I'm hopeful this next year for me will be a good one!

The best cure for anxiety is to spend time with a cat. (Old pic, I am sadly absolutely catless and stuck at work right now).

I dressed up my little guy for the event!! (It's a pretty lazy edit of Neo's Hydragae)

Friend took this photo while I was recalibrating something and it came out pretty fabulously
