I STILL can't believe I managed to make these. I also can't believe I only started modeling again about a month ago... though I kept going back to it on and off the past few months so it wasn't technically a month.

Once again the only thing that's helped me is starting smaller and only THEN looking up how to make bigger things. And taking breaks.

And also not clicking any hotkeys if I don't know what they do first. (don't ask)

Another weird thing was that the steps were way different than I thought they would be.

Texture painting (and UV maps, in general) were actually a lot easier as long as the geometry was decent and if I was looking at the UV stretch. That could just be a low poly thing, though.

Weight painting on the other hand was the bane of my existence. So I didn't do it. It is known to be difficult so thankfully I'm not going crazy

Speaking of low poly, I started to appreciate the textures on low poly models -and I guess low poly models in general.

I'd like my next project to be modeling and rigging my sona, though if I go through with that it probably won't be anything grand (it might not have any deform at all).

I'd also LOVE to try and model a mutual's character but I don't want to let anyone down if I get frustrated lol. Maybe I'll do that after the next project if anyone would be interested in that?

(I feel like it would be way better for commissions honestly)

Lastly, as much as specific tutorials have helped me I feel like I should start branching off more. I have been doing different stuff since Kat but I feel like, at the least, I should try doing what I remember before I go back to the videos.

Anyway. Blender. I still hate it but at least I'm starting to get the hang of it.
