Oh heck yeah, another Barbarous book 🖤🖤

Rendered out a closeup turnaround of my puppet Cammy model.

I worked with a lot of these folks back when I was at Respawn, and I can't praise them enough. If I wasn't super happy where I am now, I'd be jumping on this myself.
Go apply to this, tell your friends to apply!

I kept Des's photo sitting on my computer for a bit before seeking out more references from Abney Park to use for figuring out my own cemetery stone material as my way of learning Substance. He's a treasure trove of material references, and I'd have never discovered Abney Park otherwise!

I've never watched Buffy, Game of Thrones, nor Breaking Bad.

I always thought it was supposed to sound kinda French, like "beh-oolv". But it's pretty neat having some well acted official pronunciations for everything now.

Ooooooh, so this is the machine they were raging against.

We've really hit a point where unionizing is absolutely necessary to have any amount of job security in the industry now.

Always love these little tutorials of yours 🖤

Another school term done, another project to show off. Really had a lot of fun with this one.

Based on art by the toy designer Valerio "Dreelrayk" Buonfantino, one of my favorite Cammy designs mixing together her classic and Alpha looks.

Thanks! I spent a lot of time trying to tweak that to look as close to real felt as possible and get all those little fly-aways :D

Reference sheet featuring Adreena Grubb's stop motion puppets that really inspired this look!

Original concept art by Valerio "Dreelrayk" Buonfantino, and the base model from earlier this year.

3D model of Cammy from Street Fighter, made to look like a stop motion puppet made of different fabrics. The body is a coarse linen, her bodysuit and hat cable-knit wool, and her hair is made of felt.

Close-up of the face, showing the eyes as painted glass

Closeup of the hip and right hand, showing the glove made of cotton and details of the coarse linen on the skin.

Updated my Cammy model with full texturing and grooming!

Loved learning Substance, XGen, and Renderman for this!

Looking forward to a trend of Gen Alpha making horoscopes out of youtube vids and tweets from their birthdate.

Just mix in some female mechanicus as attendants to amplify the sapphic undertones.

I liked Renshuu for polishing up my rusty Japanese

Newsom sucks, the definitive megathread

Kenya transgender rights victory hailed as African first QNews LGBTIQA+ News

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like

"A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act."

fuck yeah

Truly one of the best shows ever made

This whole EP fuckin slaps 🤘

Just saw the Knights of Guinevere pilot and liked it, definitely has me wanting to see what story will unfold! A little bit on the nose in some aspects, but those parts are also very warranted. Amazing job @danaterrace.bsky.social & @glitchprod.com !!

Check your renters/homeowners insurance policy, you'd be surprised by how many things those actually cover

By the gallon you say...

Happy Friday everybody! I don't know why, but I feel like spilling the tea this morning, so here are some hard truths about the game industry. A lot of people who got into the industry early were terrible game developers. This shouldn't surprise people, but we used to look at numbers in the early 00's like half of all people rolling out of the game industry in the first three years as though all of those people were qualified. Hiring in this industry has almost always been untrained amateurs looking for people they like and who remind them of people they know. Most interviewers decide in the first five minutes whether they think you're worth hiring. Even the people who get training in how to interview almost never get coaching on how they do it, or real feedback on the success of their techniques. As a result, a lot of people walked in the door unqualified to do the job they were hired to do. Some of them survived for multiple cycles. Some of those were even promoted to leadership positions. There was a lot of nepotism involved - if you were friends with / had worked with the head of studio, department director, etc., then you were a known quantity and better than having to go out and find someone. Combine this with the prestige halo that comes from branding, and you have real problems. People tend to ascribe god-like powers to successful game studios - EA back in its heyday, Blizzard, BioWare. People who worked on hit games at big / known studios carried a ton of prestige - regardless of what they actually did. It's easy to say "I worked at Blizzard", and what that meant was not that you were part and parcel of the magic that made those games awesome, but simply that you were employed there; it takes hundreds, if not thousands, of people to make AAA games, and I promise you that inside every large, successful studio, there is a cadre of fuck-ups that no one has the heart, willpower, or political pull to get rid of. I've fired people with over a decade of expe…

probably the realest thing ive ever seen posted on that website

Megaman Legends is still gorgeous and a pinnacle of style & animation almost 3 decades later. I will forever love this game despite how clunky the actual gameplay was.

You - yes, YOU - can help protect the LGBTQ+ community here in California by telling Gov. Newsom to sign eight - yes, EIGHT - equality bills currently sitting on his desk.

Really sucks to have a back injury that makes working at a desk unbearably painful when my work, education, and hobbies all revolve around that =/

30 years ago today, one of my fav movies came out. It's fun and idealistic in so many very 90s ways.

And just so sooooo queer-coded.

I love it so much 🖤
