Soul Tired Pigeon

A momentary break from my hiatus:

I posted a thorough explanation here, but a TLDR: my mom was the main breadwinner in our house, and now that she is gone, my family needs help to stay afloat while I find a full time job to support us.

Any help is greatly appreciated. ko-fi.com/elliexiv

Published a small Guide on XMA about how to go about using Matcaps in FFXIV !!

This is a wip guide meant to get the information out so people can start expanding on the knowledge, if you have tested data you want added please msg me !! 🫶🏻

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Things I want to do in regards to modding:

- Custom Clothes
- Custom Hair
- Face Sculpts for Fem Highlander
- Custom Jewerly

Mostly all for my own characters. I'm really wanting to learn how to do face sculpts better in Blender, particularly normal maps. Its been a struggle.

MH:Wilds players complaining that Omega is too hard.

FFXIV Savage/Ultimate Tier Raiders: Cowards.

Yknow... its getting to the point where I'm just not excited for new mods any more.

@cucoo.bsky.social and I collaborated on a new body sculpt for Finn and we decided to share it. 🫰

It's a body meant to look lean and muscular. Agile rather than bulky.

You can find it below and XIV mod archive. We hope you like it!

Hey, y'all. I do hate to ask this since none of you barely (or if any) know me. I just moved to a new city, spent the past month looking for a job, and got one! But I don't start for two more weeks and I'm out of funds to go do laundry, and my cats need some food.

My siblings in Alexander, Yoshi P's press release reinforces one simple rule, and it sucks we keep having to repeat it.

DO NOT talk about the Fight Club.

Stop shouting shells in public spaces. Stop using official hashtags (like ffxiv). Keep to your corner and it'll all be fine.

I'm just... gonna keep my mouth shut from now on. Keep things bottled up like I did before until it explodes.

I'm starting to regret moving.

Goodbye, Mare.

Going to be a bit (more) absentee with some life things happening, but have this before I poof for a bit. Tenebris was formerly a private mashup I created for myself that I cleaned up and am sharing; for F Midlander based bodies, and on Trello if you want it! #daemods

Never realized how much I would miss a plogon until it was gone.

GatherBuddy was a lifesaver for me.

I know there is the website, but having it on screen in my eyeview as a reminder helped me immensely.

I am patient, though.

STAND IN OUR HEALING RANGE. WE ARE NO LONGER ASKING

I want to start taking commissions for upscales but... I don't know where to start. Any advice?

Me when I saw the protoframe Wisp in the Tennocon Relay:

the first vol. is officially out

contains reworks of Bleeding Heart 1&2, Tiger Lily, Viper, and Blossom. more previews in pack

I think that pornographic and profane art deserves to exist without any sort of addendum that the real victims are "innocent" lgbtq+ people caught in the crossfire. I think that sex is normal and beautiful and also gross and should not be banned, barred, or persecuted. that's my take.

PLEASE SIGN! Steam just updated their TOS due to payment processors' pressue to remove content that "violates terms". Visa and Mastercard are targeting adult content again. Patreon's stringent rules around 18+ work exist bc of them and onlyfans was pressured too (along with many others). Push back.

Batsu was the one who helped me when my old acc (on twi) was suspended. At that time my family had it rough with money and I had to make comms to help with the house+college. I will never forget how much the reach helped me build audience again, I can firmly say I'm working on art thanks to Batsu.

Anymore when I put in applications to places I have no hope of receiving any positive news.

Rejection, after rejection, after rejection. Even got rejected in multiple positions at a place where someone put in good word for me. She's been trying to get me in there for MONTHS.

It's depressing...

Pigeon wallet sample is ready 🐦

up! links below--

Header text: "HEY YOU! YES YOU! TAKE THIS SHIT OUT OF LINKS!" This is followed by a couple example urls, with a red square highlighting the sections with source identifiers. The rest of the text is as follows: Source identifiers are used to track your activity on a site. Where you came from, what device you use, and even who you talk to. Whether it's written clearly in the url or tied to a random string of characters, it's assigned to your activity. When you send a link containing a source identifier to somebody and they click it, it signals to the website that you two are connected. And that data goes right back to the website operators, and thus their advertisers. Whenever you select "share" or "copy link" on a social app or website, it creates a link like this. If you give even the smallest shit about online privacy, it's important to remove them. Everything after the "?" symbol can be removed without issue, especially sections starting with "si=" or "utm_source="

I saw an infographic a couple years ago about how to remove source identifiers from links and why it's important, but I can't find it again and too many people I know are sending me links with them so here's an infographic straight from the oven

Everytime I do animation tests in Blender to spot problems, I get to this and always think: "Absolute Cinema!"

...just how my brain works, ig.

Doing a buff upscale of Raève's Last Call and--

Tiddy squish is a learning experience for sure.

The mint green is the original body mesh, while yellow is the buff I'm working on.
