Oh my God help it's HUGE. Somebody save me from my own weaving math because I cannot be trusted.

You KNOW the bird would then have two hats

Some fantastic stylized modeling tips in here in addition to their rigging and rendering stuff

Highly recommended if you're interested in cel shading but have a hard time understanding how it's going to behave with a given type of geo or vertex normals

That happens to me with you on Tumblr ALL. THE. TIME.

I love this craft so much. Here we see a blanket for my cousin. Woven in 4-shaft twill double width double weave from 100% wool. Maine line from Jaggerspun. I only just discovered them for this project and am so sad they're gone.

Oh geez I don't blame you! I was super lucky to be working with programmers who were DELIGHTED that an artist had technical questions for them. I'm taking linear algebra through khan academy NOW for shader stuff, but didn't need it to get started.

Finally in bed on release day. I'm so gratified that people are enjoying the bazaar! Working on it so far has been incredible and personally rewarding. I knew it was something special and of course I hoped it would do well, but this is awesome to see. Congrats to everyone who got us this far!

Puppets all the way down!

Had a thought while weaving: you know that scene in the 5th element when Zorg pushes his glass off the desk and celebrates the sudden 'industry' and 'purpose' of all the little bots? The world kinda feels like that right now. All of us scrambling to survive or create while the powerful smash things.

I LOVE the claymation style art and animations! Have you ever heard of The Dark Eye, from the mid-90s? Similar vibes. Can't wait to check out yours!

Holy shit dude I'm so sorry.
Dunno if you heard this one, but get apps out mon-tues, field calls/emails wed-thurs, and do another round of apps on fri. Good luck out there

I hate taking my inhaler so much. I hate even more because it works, as the coughing fits remind me when I lapse.

HUH! Setting up these reference images was easier than I expected. Chalk one up for blender.

Nothing like your friends calling you out for your beach episode fit in monster hunter xD

My favorite times spent with my dad were on helping him put our old Victorian back together. I get it.

i just think we have a moral obligation to minimize the harm and maximize the well being of other people to the best of our abilities no matter what and don’t really know how to relate to people who don’t think that.

What am I reading?
Proto, by Laura Spinney
I'm really enjoying the meander through ancient history with the through-line of reconstructed language, and how it relates to their contemporary activities and technology.

I knew AI was making problems for artists, but it's been ages since I needed reference. Good LORD am I thankful for copies of Elliot Goldfinger's anatomy books.

When I started learning programming they told me to work in 3 phases:
1) make it work
2) make it pretty
3) make it fast
I love how multi-disciplinary this advice is!

the thing about amazing art/books/movies/music is the "holy shit, a person made that" whether you're talking about guernica or catch-22 or do the right thing or "a love supreme" and if you remove the human creator from the equation who gives a shit

I can’t give up, I don’t have a library with a rolling ladder yet.

New Sumerian myth just dropped

I love working on this. I just wish it wasn't so hot and humid. Coming to think of cooler weather as 'weaving season'. Unfortunately for me this blanket has a deadline

I feel this in my bones

Raised 'em good!

I like to contrast high tech work with low tech hobbies. For example, I love taking analog notes with fountain pens while I work on gryphon game

Look at what a great job Graey did on my laaaaass!!!

Scribbly about Gryphon Game. Been having a think.
