Miniature Oil painter going towards digital art due to health reasons. Hoping to work towards animation to make a little game :) Might also put some music up. Some of the art I do is NSFW, it will be tagged, but y'know 18+ No AI/NFT please.

All rules are meant to be broken imo.
As long as you tell in an interesting fashion it's not that bad I think. Just not your average research paper, that's a little too telly for enjoyment.
Maybe academia thinks of that as a rule because they read so many papers that are purely tell?

A painting of an Eastern Bluebird perched on a lichen covered branch. It is slightly backlit by the sun.

I had started painting this Eastern Bluebird when I got sick last month and decided to finish it today! Experimented with some pastel-like brushes including a rake brush to get that feather texture #bird #art #painting

Picture of a falling disembodied head in grayscale on a red background. Itโ€™s a feminine character, she has a third eye on her forehead and her hair is made or fleshy appendages, tentacles and bowels, all of it expanding upward, out of the frame. She is smiling

Submitted an 8~ second animation to a collab on newgrounds :D
Really wasn't expecting newgrounds to still be alive now, but good news is nice. It still seems to be trucking along.
Will post the animation later once the collab is out :)
If I even get in lol I don't know how anything works.

an androgynous starry drow holds a a crystal ball that gives off a red glow resembling a blood moon. His long hair decorated with turquoise jewels fans out around him as he gazes into the orb with a soft smile. Strapped onto his back is a scythe resembling a piece of a crescent moon  and along the wooden handle flowers bloom to giving a juxtaposition of lift and death. The back drop is a starry night sky.

Doing the switch from erotica can be hard, but it can happen and the erotica writing isn't wasted time, its still practice it just takes a bit more to put it into other practice I think.

It did for me, to point it was kinda one of the last nails in destroying my trust of pill pushing doctors. Would rather feel sad/angry than nothing.
But if they do help you go for it.

ls are where the magic happens. Then you could condense how much you're actually having to model.
They kind of look like they'd have biospheres inside when I look at them. Maybe a command room that reads more like an altar to beseech the ship.

The inside doesn't necessarily have to make sense, especially if you make them vast. I dunno the level of tech you're working with but if extraplanar is valid as a material they probably have short range teleporters and the like.
Smaller on the inside can work if we assume the areas between the hul

4 skeletons in the mist, 2 with spears, 1 a sword, the other t-posing, a smirking face with purple eyes and white teeth, and a swordsman. Faint bits of grass and ground can be seen maybe a wall. Mist is very thick.

I left my face in smirk mode so that's how it imports into new scenes for now ๐Ÿ˜‚ Kinda just setting stuff up, but it looks fun already. Have the fog way too thick for the animation, but it's a fun still.

2d animation is a great skill to add to your blender arsenal! Whether in greasepencil or imported from other programs. I want to try making some hand drawn vfx soon, but currently I just use it for my face rigs.

Eyes are missing but eyebrows are prominent and modeled, she has a large belt buckle over an armored skirt with intricate detailing.
Her slug tail is covered in chain barding, two stalks shoot up from her shoulders over top of her large eyebrows and ears.

Got Pera rigged decently enough. Getting better at doing multiple clothing pieces and them still vaguely cooperating when posing.
Had fun with the black and white self challenge. I think it still looks interesting without extra color at least :)

Bit later than planned, but thanks so much for 500 followers!!

I still need to do a bit more practice with low poly before I reopen commissions again, so I'm doing a little raffle!

Despite the examples, this isn't limited to furries - human and robot OCs are very welcome [SFW refs please, though]
