Introducing my first VRChat avatar base - the Kaminite!

These little demon cat minions are bestowed upon you as part of a pact with the fallen king Nulmiz. They're a bit scatterbrained, but they get the job done. More or less.

Features fun customization options!

After a long winter deep in the Blender mines, I return covered in soot.blend, with a nasty case of lung.blend, but with a hoard of gemstones cut and polished by the Scrungle team, assembled by @ritobandito.bsky.social for #ANE2026!! Honored to get to work alongside such incredibly talented folk.

Let's keep dancing

Speaking of #ANE26 , Shout out Emmy for being the most consistently broken rig LOL

Flat Emmy, Caved in missing texture Emmy (ft roxburry having a moment), Low taper fade Emmy, and Emmy thats not allowed what the freak we are going to get in trouble

Here's a better look at it, con staff added the text.

I was also responsible for making the Cowboy Bebop inspired direction screen by the lobby escalators! Was SO excited to do this one, I absolutely had to use the opportunity to pay homage to one of my biggest inspirations~

The full animations should be uploaded to ANE's Youtube channel sometime within the next week.

Now that the con has wrapped up, time to start a small thread of the animation work I did as part of @ritobandito.bsky.social's team for @ane.boston this year!
Starting with a few of my shots for the Closing Ceremony short.
