A few years ago I put together this short video to practice keyframe animation when I got back into blender.
Was the first animation I really stuck to working on in-between studies. But never finished.
The soundtrack is by Jafet Meza - "Halo 3 Anniversary One Final Effort"

Waiting through the credits for The Thunderbolts atm and I find it kind of funny how everyone knows to wait for the post credits

I cannot emphasize this enough, and I do not mean it in a sexual way

To achieve a high standard of ANYTHING, one must have an irresistible drive towards it

That irresistible drive is horniness in all its forms, regardless of whether it has a sexual context

You MUST be horny for your creations

Parasite Eve turns 27 years old today.

It's no secret that this is one of my favorite JRPGs ever and if you've never played it, well today's a perfect day to dive in!

Happy Birthday Parasite Eve!

My current WIP of an anime styled character model. I still need to adjust some of the chest topology to have a smoother flow.

Update on the Halo Re-Animation

Got things textured up and some of the support structure detailed. Need to do a snow sim. I couldn't decided on the color grading yet so here's both of them.

I didn't model the Chief out, that would be Lehto's model

I love video games.

I'm genuinely proud to have a hobby that I love so much and that brings me happiness. I'll never stop playing video games until I physically can't anymore.

It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, don't ever stop playing games that bring you peace when you need it most.

Have been on hiatus for a bit but this was last night's WIP: Tether Rig-14
7 hrs

Based on concept art from Final Fantasy XIV's Shadow Bringers art book. I concept bashed a bunch of pieces then proceeded to model them out into an energy rig of sorts

Another WIP! Made a change to ribbing of the armor and also adjusted some of the bevels here and there

6/10 games can be good games.

7/10 games can be good games.

8/10 games can be great games.

9/10 games can be amazing games.

Games that are not a 10/10 are still very much worth your time I promise. Sometimes you can find a hidden gem this way & not even know it. Scores are subjective too. 👌🏻

Some WIP lighting passes for the engineering suit. I still have to model the top part of the rig and the very tail end along with some smaller details

It loomed like a monolith as I passed under it's ambiguous embrace. I didn't see the door until it opened and yet I somehow knew it was there. I didn't even try to stop myself.
I turned back to gaze upon it's shadow only to find it beyond the horizon.
How far I've come.
There's another up ahead.

My 2025 hobby is helping my pals de-centre tech from their lives.

Acquire CDs, records, DVDs, paper books, reference books, magazines, dictionaries, etc. Go to the library!

Going analog is a small way to stop relying on tech bro monsters & helps preserve knowledge they're literally deleting.

I actually feel kinda sad for people who don't play video games, or in rare cases, have NEVER played one and don't want to.

Nothing wrong with that, but they are missing out on the best entertainment medium on the planet.

I guess I just can't imagine my life without video games.
