Wow, it's been a while since I posted here! Let's change that. Enjoying making characters recently. Have a bunny. She wasn't meant to look quite so creepy, but that seems to be my direction these days.

Work has been very full on, so the thought of sitting and doing personal art has not been appealing - until today.  Dusting off an old project, the Crystal Gems house!  I cringe at how old this piece is, but there was a lot of potential to work with, so I stripped the textures and started again.  Not a lot to show today, but it will get faster now the project is re-organized!

Have so many projects in the works, I have set a new rule - no new ones, till the old ones are completed.  It's very hard to obey that rule!

I finished up a piece today -  images to follow - and decided to start on a new project tonight; an idea I have had bouncing around for a while.  I wanted to do another Stalenhag weirdness inspired piece, but with my own twist.  I recently found images of an adorable cassette player from the 90's, and now I am going to do really disturbing things to it.  The more disturbing the better. Ehehehehe, this one is going to be fun!

I am still arting, just a little slowly at the moment, and feeling like sharing WIPs is a bit pointless - but it's also fun sometimes, so have a very weird WIP.  I have two other projects that also need final images made, but for some reason I find that one of the hardest things to be motivated to do!

Random one hour-ish horse head just because I wanted to see if I could make a horse.  I like it enough to try and finish it at somepoint

Sleepy, yet still sculpting rocks.  Both a frustrating, and relaxing process.  

There are many, many things I would do differently now, in particular I would make the wall geo double sided and make the overall scene more presentable. I reworked a lot of the textures and would model a lot of the assets very differently. However, this piece still remains one of my favourites.

Testing materials on the salamander, wanting to keep personality alongside a more life-like final result.

A splash of polypainting tonight on this dude.

Secondary pass at trying to make realistic amphibian skin - it is a slow process, but I think it is starting to come together

Base texture on the cave salamander - now for the pass that will hopefully make him look more realistic....

Realistic rocks are really hard to sculpt and I see a lot more practice in my near future.

A little bit more on the Cave Salamander

Blep

I need to decide which persona to do next, there are so many good ones!https://www.artstation.com/artwork/R3VL6y
