Yo, very good!!!

I heard that scientists figured out how to turn a sphere inside out without any holes

Same!! I always really loved these exaggerated type of bouncy animations, it always looks like a lot of fun!

I really had fun with layered animation techniques for this one, plus this is the first time I hired an outside artist for SFX, and @spicygaydog.bsky.social did an outstanding job, I can't recommend them enough!

@rasterraccoon3d.bsky.social 's model is for sale too !

HQ Version at the usual sites!

Stay tuned.

Be on alert for nude cayotes in your area.
If you see one, be sure to make them very aware of it.

A small piece for @cmddog.com !

I mean, when you're out there in space, you gotta be comfortable doing what whatever the job needs.

Rookie is just learning that Rocket has a touch less modesty than most.

Guys, if I actually try and play as him, I'm essentially leaving his life in my sweaty paws.

It's supposed to be the other way around.

Turns out that when you install Marvel Rivals and then exit the game after like, 15 minutes, it asks for an Exit Survey to see why you quit so fast.

...I am truly embarrassed to write the real reason.

"Listen, Rookie, it's called 'blending in'.
Our contact is gonna sniff us out in a picosecond if we don't looks like locals.
Now, be a good little helper and drink some of this, would ya? Just...loosen up a little.
It's a club for flark's sake."

Be aware!! He's nude!!

He's nude!
Be aware that he's not clothed!

If you're down for sharing any 3D models of your boys, I'd definitely love to make a piece with 'em!

They have one at the CVS near me and it's just such a nice pick-me-up whenever I walk by it.

Like, "Hey bud. Yeah, just grabbing shampoo. Keep hanging in there."

One great thing about being fixated on Rocket Raccoon is that nearly every furry artist has drawn him at least once.

I can just be enjoying a fellow artist's gallery and suddenly see my husband's beautiful face.

It's like the universe is giving me a little treat.

That mishap never happened.

And definitely didn't make the front page of the intergalactic news.

Nope, no one saw that.

For those who want to see some more of Rocket in his after-hours attire:

Stay tuned.

YouTube video by Core-A Gaming Sidenote: Why Motion Inputs Still Exist

They're honestly really well-produced-

He does a great writeup on the history of motion inputs:

I highly recommend Core-A Gaming's series of really great mini documentaries on fighting game mechanics!

They're designed for completely new players to become familiar with the whole scene, and get an understanding of what's going on in-game.

Rocket's sweaty body makes up of around 60% of my thought process at any given moment.

"Whoah, hey! What the flark bud, ever heard of knocking?

C'mon Rookie, I told you that I go through some changes during this time of the cycle, so you can either close the door, or hit replay on some of these holovids for me.

...'Cause my paws are a bit...sticky."

Some UV-light experimentation for an upcoming piece!

We gotta love our boy when he's in glow mode.

HANDSOME

Way ahead of you! The paint is on the paws as well!

He looks so good!!
