I have not been active for a while now, unless you follow my Twitter that is...
The reason for my absence is actually a good one in my opinion. I'm making a comic to enter into a contest. It's been taking up whatever free time I have after work.
Speaking of work...
I like my job, I really do. I never expected to like a serving job, but it's actually fun most of the time. Unfortunately, with how much I move and how long I'm on my feet every day, it's making my rheumatoid arthritis flare up tremendously. It's been really hard on me. Honestly it makes me think that I'll have to work desk jobs my entire life if I'm gonna work full time. I'll figure out something though.
I moved into my apartment with Fox! Hooray! It's really nice, and we've both been earning plenty to live off off, so we haven't been having money troubles. Everything but my body seems to be working out just fine.
I still have videos planned, don't worry. Lots of reviews and reactions planned. A little bit more branding is coming as well once I'm able to get it more in motion.
Look, I'm trying, okay? I didn't get anything done in February due to horrible mental health and an absolutely barbaric and unpredictable schedule. I now have two jobs, one full time and one that gives me some side-jobs for extra cash. It's hustle time guys.
Plans for April
Start reactions videos (some with Fox)
One YouTube Video
More streams
More character portraits
Keeping it small to fit my busy schedule. Less is more folks. Onto what I got done these last two months (not a lot).
February Projects
Video: Caleb Hammer vs. D'Angelo Wallace
This video was fun to make mostly because I was able to complain about another creator for 30 minutes. It's become my second most viewed video. I like it and I was relieved to have a say in something current for once. I'm glad it reached a larger audience and I'm happy for the comments I got on this one. Hopefully I can get more mini bangers in the future.
Caleb Hammer is a dick who likes to use slurs and outrageous content to make himself and his employees richer by putting mentally ill and (admittedly) dumb people on blast for their shit finances. I don't like the man, but I like his podcast, so I had some interesting takes, in my humble opinion at least. Enjoy.
March Projects
Video: Attack on Titan is Antisemitic?
This was an absolute pleasure to make. I love mixing my love for film and my passion for German history/language together to create something unique such as analyzing the hell out of my favorite piece of media. If I go to graduate school the thing I'd like to focus on most is German history in film or the history of fascism in German films. There's a lot to talk about with just those topics alone. Now imagine how complicated it gets when you throw in another country that was allied with Germany during its fascist regime.
This video is specifically picking apart the fascist elements in Attack on Titan and basically trying to prove that it's not an antisemitic series, but one that portrays antisemitism through its themes, aesthetics, and of course characters. It took a long time just to make the script and even longer to edit everything. My poor laptop was screaming and I had to take multiple breaks editing lest it explode and I can't afford another one right now. I'd really like to do more videos like this, so give me some suggestions via my Tumblr ask box if you have any!
Character Portrait: Grayson Troy
Grayson is a character very near and dear to my heart. He's one of the first original characters I created and over the years he's probably become my favorite. If I could give him more screen time in my comic I would, but unfortunately he's just one main character from a larger cast. Technically he's the secondary main character. Anyways. I wanted him to be handsome with curly, fluffy hair. I just wanted to focus on his looks and especially his eyes. Let me know how you like it.
Character Portrait: Odahl Hoverson
Odahl is one of my favorite characters to draw. Like Parisa, she has a very fun and different color palette from the rest of my characters. She's not just a blonde, but a blonde who also has blonde eyelashes. Compared with her bright aqua eyes, her palette is one of my favorites to color with. I especially like the challenge of her being a 9 year old girl who's developing just a bit faster than her peers, which is something she has in common with me. So she still has a chubby baby face, but her body is growing a bit awkwardly since she's developing at a faster rate. I'm really happy with how her lips turned out, too. I tend to give all of my characters the same faces, so I'm trying not to do that. I have to remind myself that not everyone has full luscious lips. Some people, especially a lot of children, have thin lips. So, I've been careful to try and portray that.
Character Portrait: Roberto Suarez
Roberto is a good boy. He's mute, and hardly ever communicates with anyone but Annie. He does know Korean Sign Language, but almost never uses it. He prefers to keep to himself, which worries the others considering his past. I based him a bit off Alex Lawther, which is a pale ass British actor, but he had the eyes and hair that I was looking for with Bert. At first, when I first came up with this world, I wanted to make everyone have realistically colored eyes unless they were using their powers. So, Parisa originally had more brown colored eyes and Roberto had darker brown eyes. I decided against it a while ago for the sake of my characters having more interesting color palettes. Anyways, for your reference, Bert's father is Dominican, and his mother is Puerto Rican/Spanish, and he is 11 years old.
Art to Make My Life Easier: Eyes
While making Roberto's portrait I had the idea to create a base eye for my character arts. Mostly because I was afraid of running out of room on my palette and I wanted consistency for my characters. So, here are the detailed eyes of all of my characters so far (there are more to come) with their names on each one (two for Ruddie).
Okay, so here's what's happening. I had to postpone working on my video because life gets in the wat sometimes and I've been working like a fucking dog. I've decided to also limit my videos to once a month, since that's the schedule anyways. I didn't post a new streaming schedule because until I know how this new job's schedule is going to work for me, I won't be able to predict or initiate streams. I also have to start packing so that I can move out of my mother's house by the 1st of April at the earliest. My new video is also longer and more in-depth than my usual ones, as the subject is very dear to me (a subject I studied in school and plan to get at least a master's degree in). So, in conclusion, I have a lot on my plate at the moment and absolutely no free time. The good news is, I've been able to get my artsy groove back, so there will be an actual blog post this month.
Please be patient with me as I try being an actual adult for the first time,

Well... This feels a little bit awkward for me to write. I had a lot I wanted to do, but I guess I didn't get much done. Between my new job, the severe depression and anxiety, and my birthday I've done nothing for most of January except for cry, panic, and cry some more. I've been trying to stay on task with my projects, but I can't seem to get the motivation. Let's see if antidepressants can help with that.
I wanted January to focus mostly on the 3D stuff, and that's what I did! The thing is, well, 3D takes a long time and I'm still not confident in myself now that I'm doing everything alone. I with I had the confidence, but that comes with experience.
February Plans
For February I hope to have more time to finish current projects and start new ones. I just need to stay motivated and organized. My February plans are:
Stream again
Finally finish the cafe set
Completely retopologize and rig at least one 3D character
Draw some more
And honestly that may be a little too much for me to focus on, but that's my plan.
January Projects
Finished 3D Character Sculpt: Tween Annie
When it came to tween Annie, I wanted her to look a little more developed than the other girls her age, but I also wanted her to still resemble a young teen. I also wanted her to be a bit... "chubbier" for lack of a better word, than the other girls around her. This decision was made to subconsciously remind the audience of the difference in physical expectations between American/European and East Asian beauty standards for women and young girls. In my own experience, having made several Korean friends and acquaintances, I was told it was freeing for them to be in Europe (specifically Germany) and the US because there wasn't nearly as much pressure to dress or look a certain way like there was in South Korea. The women felt much more comfortable in their own skin and wearing more revealing outfits. I also wanted to point it out because of Annie's more blunt and independent personality, compared to the conformity of East Asian cultures.
(Mostly) Finished 3D Character Sculpt: Chin-sun
I wanted Chin-sun to have a prominent, straight nose, and I think I accomplished that pretty well. I'm trying to decide if I want to model her hair in Nomad Sculpt, or if I want to model it in Maya, and frankly I can't decide. For now, until I learn exactly how to do hair dynamics in Maya, I think her hair should be stiff, but I'm having a hard time modeling it in Nomad, so I'm going to try and make a sort of wig for her in maya and attach it to her body, that way I'll have an easier time re-topologizing and rigging her. Her model may still need some adjusting before I deem it perfect, but for now, it'll do. In fact, I might re-sculpt her entirely.
Character Reference Sheets:
During my downtime at work I've been creating character reference sheets. I almost have one done. These reference sheets are going to be a more detailed and artistic version of each of my characters. I hope I can get my points across in an adequate way. I've been having fun with the first one so far. The sheets for each character will include a full body front and side view, a front and profile view of the head, one or both eyes open with their iris colored, one or both eyes closed, the color palette of the eye or eyes, a sample of their hair color and its palette, and any noticeable details about the character's physical appearance. Unlike my other arts, these design sheets will be completely in sketch form with less clean linework. Let me know if you think of anything I should add to the sheets. I'm sure each one will be a different size, since each character will have a differing amount of details.
Set: Cafe
The cafe is honestly still going well, but I've had to take breaks from it for work and other important things (like not trying to kms) so I'm going to save the full explanation of how and why I did the set for when it's finally done, which should be by the end of next month. Excuse Max in the background of the third image, he was being used for scale. Some of the items are either invisible, dark, or weirdly colored because I've been putting their skins on, which I probably shouldn't do until I have everything animated. I plan to do a preview animation with various Maxes when I've got the script written out and I record the lines myself.
Starting the re-topology:
I know that probably isn't the correct word, but I'm gonna role with it. I have to basically rebuild the models for my animations since the poly count is a too big. This is a very common practice in the industry, especially when sculpting in apps like ZBrush. I don't remember if I've ever fully re-topologized a full figure before though, so we'll see how it goes. Hopefully it won't take me long.
3D Model: Grayson
I haven't worked on him much, but this is another sculpt of one of my characters from the comic. I know he doesn't look like much now, but I'm still working out what he looks like, which is why I took a break from him. I wanted to do a few sketches of him, a design sheet if you will, to get a feel for how he should look at the front and side angles. It's on my list to do for February. In the meantime, enjoy these WIPs!
Video: My (Kinda, Sorta) Former Obsession with How to Train Your Dragon
Long title, I know. This one was particularly hard to get out on time considering how depressed I've been. I talk about that a little at the end of the video, but the rest of the video is basically going over what it was like for me to grow up with the franchise. I don't delve into the franchise as much as I had wanted, but this video is a good representation of my feelings for now. More HTTYD stuff coming in the future.
Any advice for any of the projects I've shown in this post are very much appreciated. My ask box should be open, as are my DMs. Make sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel for dumb videos, follow me on Twitch to see me do art in real time and occasionally react to stuff and game. Check out my Vgen where I currently have two commissions up and take requests. If you want an unhinged version of me, follow my Twitter. and if you just want to look at my art with little to no explanations whatsoever, follow my Instagram. Though I will say, I'm much less active on Insta than everywhere else.
Hey so, if you've read my last post, you know I'm going through a bit of a crisis right now. I won't be streaming for the next week or so, and there won't be a video this week since I haven't been able to come up with something. I'm almost done with the cafe though, so I'll be able to post that on my Insta soon. Have a nice week everyone!
I don't usually post super personal things on my public accounts, because I don't believe it's the appropriate thing to do, as well as some events that's happened in my life could give away my personal information, and I want to keep my private life out of the public eye. For the past few weeks, however, I've noticed something that's just made my anxieties and depression worse and it all cumulated in four words that my mom said to me a few days ago that made my depression come crashing down on me unexpectedly. I feel like it's affecting my online and professional art activities, so I thought I'd share it with everyone to kind of explain where my head is at.
With that, Trigger Warnings for:
Depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. Let's talk.
I don't want to lie to whoever is reading this, I've had a rough life. And if you never asked me about it, you wouldn't know it. "How bad is it Avery?" Bad enough that I decided to use a professional alias instead of my government name. Enough said about that. I've gone through abuses, near death experiences, and near addictions and eating disorders. The only thing keeping me from insanity is literally sheer willpower, and it's slowly running out.
I love my mom. Shocker, I know. Everyone says that before they shit talk their parents. My mom was a great mom for the most part. She was a little over protective when I was growing up, but despite everything that's happened in our lives she's been able to keep her kids afloat and that's admirable. The thing about my mom, is that she's... not the most empathetic person. She likes to think she is, but for some reason her empathy seems to miss her kids sometimes. I have a theory, that being that she's in denial that her children could be drowning in depression because that might mean admitting to herself that she perhaps failed in her duties as a parent to protect and raise happy children into happy adults. This simply isn't working.
I've wanted to be an artist since I was young, but when I expressed to my mom that I wanted to create videogames or make movies, she literally laughed, which broke my heart. I was only probably 11 years old. Crushed me. There's nothing more painful than telling someone what you want to do most in the world, and them laughing at you for it. My dad was supportive though. He told me I could do anything if I tried hard enough. He encouraged me. This was before his brain started crumbling.
Because of the reaction from my mom, and a few more incidents of not so great parenting moments involving art, I decided to pursue psychology. I studied from the ages of 13 to 20. When I entered into college and it was time to declare my major, I decided to follow what I wanted to do rather than what would make me more money. Instead of pursuing an academic and professional career as a psychologist with a doctorate, I decided to go for German and 3D Animation, where I found that even my professors were more supportive than my mother, which I do believe I lied to my professors about. Having the support of the staff and my friends at college was pretty much the only thing that kept me going. Studying in Germany for 6 months was both the best and worst decision I'd ever made. The best because when I was over there, on my own, in a country I could barely speak the language, I had more freedom than I ever could hope to have in the United States. Everything was cheaper, the streets were safer, and even though I went there at A1 level I was happier than I had ever been. The worst decision because, well, I did have to come back. A residence permit only lasts so long and I had already paid my tuition for the next semester back in the US. So I had to leave, and for the first time ever, when the wheels of the plane touched Washington DC, I thought sincerely, "I want to die".
Freedom really is undervalued by the people around me. Fake happiness can only take you so far. I refuse to believe it was my mother's life dream to settle in a small town with no opportunities, no real job market, and nothing to do, marry my father, and have kids. Of course I'm not going to be exactly like her, but I want more than... existence. I want to live. I want to be happy and do something I love, not just survive. I despise were I live, I always have. I don't see myself ever being content with just living to live. Why should I when there's so much I could do with my life? If only the world didn't run on money...
I was happy for a short while in Junior year, a very short while. Reality came crashing back eventually when my house burnt down in 2024 and I remembered who I was and how I'm just not allowed to be happy for long. The world continues as it will and I might always feel left behind or uncared for. Sometime in 2025, senior year, I realized I was the friend that everyone (except for Fox) thought about last. It was always, "oh yeah! Let's invite Avery!" and never just, "hey Avery we should do this, oh and maybe invite others!" I was always the second thought, never the first. I was always the last one people went to because no one else was answering or was too busy. It's a horrible feeling. For a long time I had the attitude that I should treat others the way I wanted to be treated, but at that time it felt like, what's the point?
Senior year was pretty awful when I wasn't drinking. I didn't feel like I was capable of creating anything great. I wasn't able to achieve the academic status that was expected of me. Maybe it was because I'm depressed, or maybe it's because I led people to think I'm more intelligent than I really am. Who knows, really? I felt awful, because I wasn't performing to my standards, and I couldn't figure out why, which made me more depressed. And I'll be honest, seeing Nova succeed so quickly where I still can't makes me jealous, and more angry with myself. We both pour our entire beings into our work, but she's the one who gets commissions, recognition, numbers. It doesn't really help myself, but I'm happy for her nonetheless.
Which leads me to the actual topic of this long ass post, my mom. She relies on me too much. She expects too much of me. She doesn't feel my frustrations or emotions are valid. I can't react without her mocking. I don't even think she realizes what she does is mocking. I get upset that our dumbass president does something stupid "why do you care?" I get upset that AI may take over all of the art jobs and my degree will become useless, "it's not that serious". I work my ass off at my job, only for them to fire me, and because I was working full time and trying to better my portfolio I haven't had time to clean up the house or make dinner. Which leads to what has me so fucking bothered now. The four words that, I'm not going to lie to you, nearly made me end it.
"You don't do anything!"
I don't even remember why exactly she said it, but she did, and it literally made me freeze in my tracks, forget what I was doing, and lock myself in my room for the rest of the day. I go to work sometimes 12 hours a day, stream on my days off, work on my art projects, work on my videos, try and get internships, look for better jobs, clean up where I can, take care of dogs I honestly didn't want, pick up my brother and make sure he eats, clean up after myself and two other fully able adults. But to her I do nothing. Okay. Cool. Fine. I do nothing. I don't do anything. And so I thought...
What's the fucking point? What's the point of trying to get a job. The market sucks so bad anyways. Why should I even bother trying to make use of either of my degrees? What's the point in trying to save up enough money to get out of this fucking place? Why should I try to be a good person? We have a fucking pedophile felon in the White House, but I can't keep a fucking job? Everyone is too sensitive but not empathetic enough. A white supremacist gets assassinated, a man who would force his 10 year old daughter to have a baby because she was raped, a man who said the civil rights movement was a mistake, a horrible man who spread horrible ideals to vulnerable, uneducated people was murdered, and I'm the fucking bad guy because I said good for him? Our president is literally successfully enacting literal Nazi ideals and laws, and everyone around me either is fine with it or doesn't care. I'm going insane. I don't do anything.
I feel empty. I feel scraped raw. When my father died, when he was killed, I sat on my grandmother's porch for 4 hours just staring, empty. Now, it's my hobby. I feel empty, so I have no motivation, because it doesn't matter. I don't do anything anyways, so why should I even try if my efforts mean nothing? I spent four years in school. I'm turning 24 this month, and I have nothing to show for it. Nothing that matters. I still live at home. I don't have enough money to do anything. If no one sees or appreciates my efforts, my art, my videos, does it matter at all? What is the point in living when it's that hard to maintain happiness?
Half of 2025 is a blur, because for half of it I was depressed and going through the motions. I was happy for a little while, then I was fired from my job for something I couldn't control. It made me realize that anything I do may never be good enough for anyone, not even myself.
I am not well.
I'm struggling hard. I'm going to the doctor's at the end of the month. I'm going to ask for ADHD meds and therapy. Lots of therapy. I'm going to continue my online endeavors despite feeling inadequate. I'm going to continue updating my portfolio despite having no faith I'll ever be anything in the industry, but that's where I'm at right now. I'm tired, and I don't have a lot of myself at the moment, so everything is going to be slow and probably low effort until I can be good again. I don't want your pity. I'm not going to kill myself, because I want to live, it's just hard at the moment. Just bear with me okay? I'm trying my best, even if it's not good enough.

Once again, a month where I plan absolutely nothing serious is a successful month. I really need medicated. Anyways. I know I say this quite a lot, but December was a busy month for me right off the bat. I was able to see a friend from Germany since she came back to my old college campus for a few days, then I went on a mini vacation immediately after that, got a tooth infection, had a small crisis about where my life is going (even though I'm only 23), and decided to pause individual projects in favor of one of my big ones so I can try and get somewhere in the art world for real. And that was just in the first week and a half of the month. Let's get started.
I had a very small list of things I wanted to accomplish in December and I accomplished all of them except for the Insta Reels/YouTube shorts. I honestly don't think I'll ever do those. However, I got even more done than I had planned, so looks like planning small amounts is working.
January Plans
January is my birth month! Yay! Happy 24th birthday to me! I just kind of want to go with the flow for the first month of the year, plus I'm planning a big party for my 24th (big as in more fancy and with a bit more people than usual, the usual being 3). I have everything planned out and I think most of the people I invited are coming. I have a girl's night planned for two friends who are staying at my house. It's gonna be great. Anyways, here are my plans for January:
2 Videos
A finished cafe set
2 Characters rigged and textured
Renders of the cafe set and the individual items in it
Creating new 3d character models
I have a lot to do in January. A little update just 4 hours before this post is supposed to come out: I actually got fired from my job, so I may have more time in January than I originally participated. I guess sales isn't for me...
December's Projects
Streaming
I didn't stream as much this month as I did in November, mostly because of the holidays. I'm quite a busy person during the month of December, so I normally won't have much time to stream during Decembers going forward. We worked on a lot of art on stream this month though, along with watching some anime and videos together. I don't have anything in mind for January, but it is my birthday month, so we'll see what happens.
New Streaming Assets
I got a random bout of inspiration so I went ahead and updated my streaming assets a little bit. Now there's more screens! That's... That's it. Well, I did have the idea of something elegant but cutesy and I was rewatching Black Butler at the time so it gave me some ideas I guess. Nova did help me gather my thoughts though, so again, go check her out!
Video: A Miraculous Disaster | The Needlessly Complex Story in Miraculous Ladybug
I have to say I did enjoy making this video, but unfortunately some context was cut out due to copyright, so I'll have to link the context within the video. Anyways, when you become obsessed with a show you want it to succeed and part of that success is good writing. Unfortunately, Miraculous doesn't have that. It started out simple enough, but then went sharply downhill around the time its creator, Thomas Astruc, decided he wanted to completely change the formula that was, admittedly, boring and try to create a more serious story instead. This backfired in my opinion and Thomas' head got way too big for his own good, leading to a sort of Butch Hartman syndrome.
Video: My Former Obsession With Rise of the Guardians
This video is my shortest so far but it's also my most personal. Rise of the Guardians did a lot for me when I was the ages 12 to 16. Those were also the most turbulent in my life, because it was the ages my dad's mental state went rapidly downhill, which ended with his death. This movie was an unbelievable comfort to me. It symbolizes my childhood, and painted my future. I cannot express how much gratitude I have towards everyone involved in making the film. It's the reason I want to be an animator. It's the reason I wanted to be a professional artist. It's honestly the reason I started making videos. I love this film so much. And that's all I want to say about that. The video comes out the same time as this blog post, so feel free to check it out directly from here.
Character Design: Mitsuki
Mitsuki, like a lot of my other characters, has gone through many design changes, but a few things have remained the same. Instead of light brown eyes that I used to giver her, she now has the sterotypical Asian "black eyes". Not only do I think it makes her look more innocent and cute, but it also gives me a better challenge at making sure her eyes are detailed but look darker. For example, her eyes aren't actually black. If you look closely, the base color of her eyes is gray. It gives off the look of a dark brown color. I think I'm slowly starting to understand color theory. When I showed the WIP in the art haul last month, her character looked a lot more mature, which was not what I wanted. For Odahl, who is supposed to be 2 years older than the 7 year old Mitsuki, looking older isn't exactly a bad thing since that was the goal I had in mind. Odahl was supposed to have a chubby babyish face, while her body was more developed than girls her age, but Mitsuki is supposed to be the average 7 year old Japanese girl, so it was more challenging for me. I ended up keeping the original pose I had sketched up, but drastically shortening the limbs and making the head really big to mimic the proportions of a much younger child. Now, I think she looks her age, if not slightly younger looking. I like to use Koehi Horikoshi's art for a reference to younger children, because his art style is better able to capture childish proportions.
For her outfit, I actually drew it live on Twitch and had a little help from my chat. I knew I wanted to go for something Kawaii, but also very childish without the weird sexiness attached to it, so I looked up kawaii style on Pinterest, picked an outfit I thought would suit Mitsuki, and made it more child-friendly. The reference I used for her hoodie would have only gone down to her mid thigh, but I decided to make it more like a dress, so I took it down to her knees and cover most of the rest of her legs with her boots. Because children are so small, you don't have to worry about dress length as much because they're legs are so short, boots would cover up most of their legs anyways. My idea also was, which I talked about on stream, that Mitsuki would have puffy layered shorts on under her hoodie. These shorts would be comparable to the type of undergarments Victorian era girls and women would wear under the first set of their skirts.
Portrait: Parisa
The finished product of last month's WIP sketches. Isn't she beautiful? Parisa is my favorite to draw because of her style and jewelry and makeup and skin tone and long hair. She gives me more options than the usual stuff I go with, and her skin tone is especially fun for me to color since I don't draw dark skinned characters very often. For her portrait I wanted to give her some more traditional Indian accessories to show off her culture that, given where my story takes place, she doesn't have many opportunities to celebrate. So, the idea is that when she's going to a formal event or taking a portrait or formal picture, she dresses in her formal Indian attire and blinged out.
Again, I'm not used to coloring darker skin tones and I'm not a darker skinned individual myself, so if anyone has any notes or advice (or insults too) then feel free to either get into my asks box or comment on this post. I'd appreciate literally any feedback even if it's negative.
Comic Continuation
Finally! After 6 months of not touching it, I'm finally working on my comic from my senior gallery! I've been thinking about it for a while and when I had a little exestential crisis about my life at work when no one was around I decided to start it again and try to finish this chapter. It's supposed to be a shorter chapter since its just the introduction, so I hope everyone likes it!
Two Models Ready to Rig
These are (mostly) colorless models I made in Nomad Sculpt that are ready to be rigged and textured in Maya! I'm not certain exactly how I'm going to do everything yet, but unlike making these models and doing my other arts, rigging the models will not be done on stream. I have a hard time rigging. It is not my specialty, so when it comes down to it, I'm going to do it completely privately and show the results later, then talk about what a pain in my ass rigging really is. The characters, in case you were wondering, are two from my own series I've been working on, Annie and Chin-sun. I'll also be making Grayson, though with his powers I'll have to come up with ways to portray them within the confines of what I currently know, which might be difficult. I'll also be designing and creating clothing for them in Maya, and it will be my very first attempt at doing so. I wasn't lying when I said I still have a lot I'd like to learn. I hope it'll be more fun than anxiety inducing.
New 3D Setting: The Cafe
I was having trouble imagining the angles and backgrounds of the cafe Annie and Chin-sun would be conversing in, so I decided to just make it in Maya considering I had planned to animate everything anyways. It's been going really well and I had a lot of fun putting everything together. It's not quite finished yet, but it is almost there. I want to make an entire city street as well, rather than just the cafe, so the setting looks more alive. I hope to do this for the school setting as well. Let me know what you think so far! All items I worked on will eventually have their very own renders to add to my professional portfolio on my website!
YouTube End Card
This was the last thing I worked on before finishing this Post. It was something I whipped up for my most recent video since I didn't want to keep showing the same art for three videos in a row. Just assume that when this card is at the ends of my videos, it means the art I was working on in the background was from the art shown at the end of a previous video. I need to work on some things, but I like the way it turned out so far.
