Rebloggin It Up

What did he look like, in his shock and disgust at my words? I pictured a mysterious man hunched over a thin metal desk, cigar dangling forgotten from his mouth. Dear Christ, I’ve watched too much film noir.

Artemis Quinn, Such Sweet Sorrow

A disabled shapeshifter tries to save a city with the one person who could undo their whole life…or free it.

Having lost one leg already to the monstrous, parasitic senka, Enaka Adelaire tries hard to be useful among their perfect people, protecting those who can't protect themselves and hoping to earn the affection they've been denied most of their life.

But when a routine hunt becomes an assignment to track down an artifact smuggler who may have lured senka to Akert City, Enaka is thrown out of their depth into a world of misinformation and systemic oppression. Their only ally? A spycatching archmage from an opposing government who claims to know more about Enaka than they do about themself.

As the two of them race against time to stop the senka plague before the double new moons, they're confronted by forces both mundane and magical, and disturbing truths emerge that change Enaka's life forever. Will their conviction be enough to save the two million souls who call Akert home? Or are the real monsters much closer than they appear?

When Sylvan’s ghost turns out to be a digital passenger in his cybernetics, another apparition appears at his doorstep: a familiar looking robot named Fern. Despite forging powerful allies and working diligently to repay his debt of gratitude, Sylvan can’t shake the persistent reminders of his long-lost housebot, Robbie.

I got the idea from cowcatchers old locomotives used to have.

Anyways, yesterday I uploaded the model to Thingiverse, and just hours after uploading it, the Community Relationship Manager of the whole website left a comment suggesting I enter the model into a competition that's currently being held on the site.

So I did... and now it's in third place not even a day later. First place is $500, but the competition still has a month to go.

Then the Community Manager contacted me again, telling me they want to feature my model in an upcoming design promotion.

Just, what is happening? I mostly made this thing for myself in, like, an hour, and now it's suddenly super popular? This is all a little bit overwhelming 😵‍💫

Other models I worked on for weeks didn't get nearly as popular. I swear, it's impossible to predict what people will like.

Anyways, if you want to print the wheel guards yourself, you can get the model here or here.

I also made a quiet version you can stick furniture felt pads on.

I loved the description of these two: "All they do is beg for food and create more mollies there's so many please help" 😂 I had to draw the happy couple, haha. Please enjoy this Art Fight attack of Doretta and Lloyd for OddCamo!
