Hihihihi!
Well, 3 months after the last post, I was hoping to have a better work ethic and updating more but alas here is where we are hahah. I can't really believe 3 months have past, I feel like time is slipping away faster and faster I am getting slower and slower at my work. Don't get me wrong, I have an insane amount of privilege to be able to be doing this full time, but wow I feel like I just drag my feet and waste all this precious time I have.
I have been feeling just so slogged down, but by nothing in particular other than like the most obvious things I think about the most, "am I a good enough artist?", "is this even considered art?", "if i just stopped making models would ppl wonder where I went?" , "will model making as I know it now exist for much longer with AI coming for everyone?" , "do ppl even have enough extra cash to spend on my stuff? Should I make everything for free?" , "there is a bunch of ppl who steal my models, do they value me? do they even know who they steal from?". Idk dwelling on stuff like that isnt great for headspace but I cant escape it rn.
Anyways here is a real update list of stuff:
- Finally finished 1 trade, but 1 is still sitting since February and I feel so bad about it, I really gotta get that done.
- Worked more on the "Loafe Drake" model, its a spin off of my personal species and my updated model, but idk, someone said it looked like another model that just came out so I feel weird about releasing it, I will eventually but, yeah.. sucks been working on that model for like a year now.
- Accepted another trade (I'm so dumb) I thought it would be quick but I haven't done shit for it yet ;-;
- OH I did art fight! It was cool I guess, I got burnt out before I could finish stuff I wanted to, classic loafe at this point, idk why I do it to my self either ;-;
- Drafted a ton of ideas for models and assets, haven't started on any of them lulul but the ideas are super cool trust.
- Learned how to up my texturing game using better light and shadows, so that's pretty cool
- Sculpted a buff chub body but haven't done anything past high poly for it tho ;-;
- Started the re-work for my SkullCat that I did ages ago, I REALLY wanna get that done for the Halloween season, fingers crossed for me.
- Learning how to make VRC worlds more, I have dabbled but never a lot, now I have watched like 6hrs of content regarding world making so hopefully I can make something sick af soon haha
- Been planning out some world stuff like crazy too but just plans for now
- And I have been kind of working on a chubby cat creature but still early days in the process
OH and the one thing I am really proud of is that I was offered a market place spot for VRChat to put stuff up on the platform so I did! Here is the EX0-LITH
Loafe Drake WIP ~
The Buff Chub WIP ~
The Chubby Cat Creature ~
But yeah, I know I sound really not super great on this post but there are some ups, and down and thats just how it is, I'm still excited and filled with passion to create and I really look forward to some stuff coming like spookality. Dark times pass, it will for me, and it will for you, just hold on tight to stuff you love, and people who bring light into your life.
Mwah~
LOAFE
