Several photos of the figurine:

And here's a photo with a birthday cake in the background (my sister gave me a cake with my old drawing on it):

A lot has happened, and a lot of time has passed. I think this past year was the most intense one yet in terms of change: I got obsessed with donghua, created a Tumblr account, started posting my drawings, and just went through a ton of interesting experiences. It's been a great chapter of my life.

But this isn’t the end — it's only the beginning. And with that, I have some news!

hypnogoosek is now changing its name to hypnodreamer! My main OC (now on my profile pic) is changing along with it :>

The reason for this change? Oh, it’s very unusual and surprising!

… Just for fun 😶

For the longest time, I couldn't decide how to pose the figure to make it look good, so I ended up sitting the chibi on the couch. I don't think I need to tell you which specific scene from the series I used as a reference :>

So now he's sitting cutely among the pillows (= ⩊ =)

After the figure was printed, it was handed to me for sanding. This was probably the most stressful stage for me — I was so afraid of messing everything up ^^'. But in the end, everything looks just as charming as it should.

I already had some experience with Blender, but my creations there were limited to swords, hatchets, simple houses, and one really cool flamingo. When it came to characters, though, things were pretty rough. So I learned a lot during the class!

The hardest part was creating the hair and the skeleton (for changing the figure's pose later). I didn't like how they looked for a long time, but in the end I achieved a result that met my expectations. Overall, I'm very pleased with the work!

And yes, unfortunately, I don't have any photos from the skeleton creation stage. Up until that point, I had been doing all the work on my laptop, but at some point it stopped working properly due to the high polygon count. So I had to switch to a computer at college to finish the work.

And yes, his eyes are purple here. Back then (in January), I didn't know that his eyes are most likely gray and only turn purple when he lose to LL. But i'll fix that during the painting stage! (Though at the concept stage, painting wasn't even necessary.)

This reference was ultimately the one used to create the 3D model in Blender.

Honestly, when I first heard the assignment, my reaction was:

"Wait — so my homework is just to hop on Pinterest and look for pictures of Wreck? I never thought I’d actually be excited about homework! ( = ⩊ = )"

And here’s how it turned out!

P.S. I probably won’t be able to post regularly for a while. That’s because I have an upcoming exam session, I’m rethinking my drawing style, and I’ve been posting a lot in March - I think I need to slow down a bit to avoid burnout. That said, I’ll still post as often as I can. Hopefully I’ll have everything sorted out by June.

See you later! 💖

John Michael Howell recently released a new song. I thought the cover and lyrics would pair really well with Nice, so I decided to create an alternative version of the cover! (◕‿◕)♡

Congratulations to all the Wrice fans out there today (and to myself, of course). Undoubtedly my favorite ship in the fandom. (´• ω •`) ♡

I'd like to take this opportunity to share my first impression of them, because it's honestly hilarious.

When I first saw the beginning of episode 2 and that scene with Wreck, I thought, "I'm almost 100% sure he has a crush on Moon, and that's why he's mad at Nice - since Nice is her boyfriend. But it would be so funny if it were the other way around."
