I'm over a week late on this post, and haven't posted much art lately... I have been falling off... so let's start the year with a monthly catchup! ✨

December Hiccups, December Holidays!

So fun fact, I do all my art on a gaming laptop! It's five years old at this point, and December was the month it REALLY showed its age... as in, the GPU fan for it stopped working properly. I did replace it within Christmas week, but it did kick my ability to draw in the nuts for that month. I miiight need to replace my laptop entirely at some point — it is pretty old, after all.

In the meantime, I did celebrate Christmas with my family! Despite the hour-long drive to get there, it was still a pretty nice time. Tasty food, great ambiance, I had fun all around! I did celebrate New Year's by my lonesome self, but mainly because I was working on the 31st. Still, took the time to do chores and greet the new year with a good night sleep. ^^

Blender can do a lot of stuff.

Ever since I fixed my laptop's fans, I felt a pretty big boost in my creative drive. I knew 2025 would be the year I would experiement with what I can make in terms of art, and I do have Blender installed on my laptop...

So I tried animating in Blender with Grease Pencil! I have something saucier in the works too, but in the meantime, here's a short WIP of Big Bandit from Nuclear Throne!

It's pretty rough around the edges, and there won't be additional shots in this (hopefully), but it's pretty fun to work on it so far! And that's not the only thing I'm dabbling into!

Yup, I've been dabbling in 3D modeling too! I've only done the blockout so far, and I just started sculpting Doug (Monster Prom) too, but it's been pretty fun too! I *may* have given him... er... extra details, but I won't show those here for rating-related reasons.

Conclusion

So 3D isn't off the table for me, animating isn't off the table for me either... There's a lot of things I want to try out creatively, and I can't wait to see how far I can go with this! 2025 is the year I become unstoppable! Carnally or otherwise!

But in the meantime, I should definitively work on my backlog of art, haha. Until next time!

Magey! -
