Zeal Somberwing

A quick animation thing I chipped away on between other commissions.

Really wanted to sell the strain and resistance of a muzzle growth. Also, avali need more TF love.

Might add more to this in the future but for now, it'll stay a sketch.

i am telling y’all. whatever flavor a “good sex life” is to you, put it on your list of self-care priorities. i have been in the roughest of moods lately and recently had a great experience with someone after a dry spell and feel infinitely more relaxed even days after.

Am sorry to hear things have gone less than smooth for you, Awawi 🫂 hoping things go up and up for ya through the next month and the next 🩷

Nuu I can hardly think of you as annoying >.< it is really nice to see you sharing, jubilant, having all the funs! I'm hoping more that you share it, awa!

Zeal as the Mike'vali. Leading forward on legs while sticking tongue out.

Zeal as the Mike'vali. Closer to the camera while arms are crossed, flaring the feathers of the wings out. Head is slightly cocked and the body faces slightly to the right.

Zeal as the Mike'vali. Body is further back from the camera, showing more of the avatar and the clothing. It is green with some tassels across the chest. Head is tilted and a smile, slightly awkward, shows.

More Avali pics! This is the glorious Mike'vali \o/ def a rare one! It's got a very cute and playful appearance that really grew on me, especially as I learned a bit of Blender through it ^^

Definitely a fave of mine here is the unique take on the tail uwu

Zeal's further work on a KAvali texture in Substance Painter.

On more artsy notes, I did advance further with the KAvali texture ^^ Kinda at a crossroads, tho, as to how to proceed with the blending of the colors...

Will probably try different things on different parts and see what works in the end :>

YES! The eyes are just there as a placeholder x3

The shader needs to support AudiLink to react to the music player, something that can play youtube vids for example, in the world ^^ the world also needs the AudioLink prefab to trigger it on your own avatar.

This is a simple use of it. The Poiyomi Shader allows for way more intense visuals :>

I can't believe I EVER stopped trying to AudioLink things D: I will now add it to absolutely everything uwu

Honestly learning this was very fun and I will work on producing an emission layer for the Head Feather ^^

Also... TECHNO \o/

#Avali

Meta lost $77,000,000,000 on metaverse development because they didn't hand the reins of development to cracked-out furries

Producing a Substance file for a new Base Texture for the KAvali Avatar base.

Incredible things are happening in Substance Painter! Took a break after the Face Tracking stuff for the Seeker Avali and now have two new projects for myself ^^

The KAvali is definitely a fave of mine uwu

Learning how to Substance now :3 along with some Blender stuff... for later :p

"It is the trait of reversion that effaces the remainder, just as a single ironic smile effaces a whole discourse, just as a single flash of denial in a slave effaces all the power and pleasure of the master."
- Simulacra and Simulation

OMG the book she's resting on... I love that play so much! Is this a cut scene? 😳

It's wild to think the same playwright also wrote "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"

Lovely piece <3 I love to see pleasure tearing through someone uwu

A stack of books currently being read by Zeal. They are The Fort Bragg Cartel by Seth Harp, Simulacra and Simulation by Jean Baudrillard, On the Heights of Despair by Emil Cioran, Who is Satan? According to the Scriptures by Joseph Kelly, and Ways of Seeing by John Berger.

Hoi! The current pseud stack 😄

This is Zeal here to remind you that you should absolutely finish your current read before jumping to the next one. Don't be like Zeal 😌

Will finish Simulacra and Simulation first and then onto Berger's Ways of Seeing 👀

The Face Tracking in action! It's very reserved in the mouth and brows, more than I thought it would be :0 a struggle as much as it was fun ^^

The things I want to do now are smol and (hopefully) simple x3 I may soon have a dewclaw on my pawbs ;3

Have a great weekend y'all!

Avali (banana for scale)

An Avali acting playfully.

*gwahs*

Cioran was the first philosopher I ever studied. His works are still the screen through which I filter all philosophy, science, art, and religion.

My one shame is in never having read On the Heights of Despair 😔 Before year's end this will be rectified >:3

Zeal as the Seeker Avali showing the design on the leg wraps while wings are lifted aloft.

Zeal as the Seeker Avali. Head is bowed with wings drawn in, body facing slightly to the side.

Zeal as the Seeker Avali wings drawn in with paws gently resting on each other. A slight grin and half lidded eyes are shown.

Zeal as the Seeker Avali. Wings are held high and legs are spread apart, showing off as much as possible. Head is slightly canted and with the snout a bit down, eyes slightly closed.

Yay ^^ I got myself in good shape over in #ChilloutVR! It took patience and tenacity but now i can safely say I love it 🥺I get butterflies when I see myself in a mirror.

I am happy and grateful for all those that inspire and help me <3

The work is never complete... always more to do >:3

Huge props for the documentation by the VRCFT team on Discord and Adjerry91's own Youtube videos and Discord server on how to get things done as well as his custom Blender script ^^

Orthographic front facing view of the Seeker Avali using a texture that incorporates many of the colors used across several Avali models.

Ape Face Unified Expression Shapekey. It isn't exactly as described in the documentation. In this way there is less distortion in the jaw which I figured would be better left alone more so than the upper lip and snout.

Displaying the head of the Seeker Avali with several shapekeys engaged to make a playful face. It's completed!

OMG! Been busy but I finally did something I've been wanting to do for a while

I made my first ever FT shapes for the Seeker Avali! So happy I went through with it 🥲 but gonna chill on that now 😅 props to avatar makers this kind of stuff requires real dedication! 🫡

Now to upload and test 👀

I would love to! Always feel I can learn more and better understand his work from others ^^

More Awawi uwu

This time, I got the KAvali uploaded into #chilloutvr with face tracking and a simple clothing toggle!

Am really grateful for the peeps over there 🥺 super helpful and happy to assist with getting me to where I wanna be, awa!

Here's a personal artwork of my Avali girl Taluki! It had been over a year since I did any.
I wanted to challenge myself, and had this idea in the back of my head for a long time. I'm quite happy with how this turned out.

Hope you like it!

"she's not gonna fuck you bro"

she will. she will if i display my plumage ostentatiously enough

Omg work has been keeping me suuuper busy ;_; but I still keep up with shenanigans and some artsy stuff here and there ^-^

Here is me testing out the KAvali's Face Tracking in VRC :o

From a bit ago and I really loved how it all looked <3 a great mix of alien and cute, awah!

Have a great weekend!
