Decided to work on another blender model, using my character, Pip. This is the second version of him, since the first one looked really bad. 
I’ve been doing a lot of research, studying, and quite a bit of testing when it came to figuring out what type of shader to use. I think a toon shader works best for this model. The second image was me deciding if I wanted to go maybe more like the 3D animations you see in Disney movies. The first image I was inspired by Arc Systems and their anime cell shading models. I still need to work on making the lighting look better.

I want to say that I hope everyone is doing good during these crazy and uncertain times. You all have probably heard of this many times before, (since I’m late when it comes to updating my Instagram) but I sincerely hope everyone is staying safe! We are all in this together.

It has been hard to do art due to running out of supplies and not having the funds. But I’ll do my best to create art, because I hope during these times, that my art will give you something to smile about while scrolling on past on IG

Decided I needed a new profile icon. So I went with my little catcus, Pip, being his usual happy self. The image is based off the squishy face that pikachu makes on the glass. 
I plan on making a new comic about him soon.

After meaning weeks of watching tutorials and stopping, because I got sick of working on this...I’m finished my first 3D model in blender. I’m open for more tips and tricks, if anybody knows any for blender.

I wanted to do more, like find out how to make the clothes look more realistic, some animations, etc. It’s just knowing how strict Nintendo is with their IP’s that made me stop doing more. I like modeling and wish I had a pen display to help out with the finer details. So I’m going to do more modeling, but using my original characters instead.

Maybe after I learn more about blender, I might come back and do an update on this model.

Like I said in my first post of the year: I want to learn how to create 3D models. So here is a work-in-progress of my version of Link.

This is my first time ever using Blender. So many tutorials, edits, re-dos, finding different types of tutorials, deciding I want to try something different with the model, etc. Despite how long it is taking to finish this model, I am enjoying seeing the character take shape and form. 
Still need to work on modeling clothes next for him. Second image was trying to see if I can make eyes, following a tutorial on YouTube. The final model is most likely going to change knowing myself.

Happy New Year with the first post of the year. Do you have any goals you would like to achieve for this year? 
I tend to have a very bad case of imposter syndrome or a fear of failure when it comes to my art. For years it has stopped me from creating the works I want to create or going to certain companies to work for them. This year I plan on getting those jobs or creating that story. As well as, not feeling like everything I post online has to be some finished piece. That it can be a silly looking image like this.

2020 goals:
-Hit 1k followers on Instagram -Hit 100 followers on Twitter -Sell my work and do commissions -Create my webcomic series
-study 3D or 2D gaming for this story that is too short to turn into a comic

These are my goals for now, but I do plan on adding to that list.

My #topnine of 2019. 
How was your 2019? Sorry for the lack of updates towards the end of the year. Had to take on a seasonal job for the holidays. 
My 2019 had its ups and downs. The downs being the death of two teachers that I really liked and the moments of feeling like my art is going nowhere. But the best parts have been seeing people like the creation of Pip the Catcus and the mini feature of my crow-tit painting on Liquitex’s social media pages.

For once, I feel hopeful for the new year. I plan on creating more comics. I’m going to be working on this one story that I’ve had on the back burner for at least 7 years. The main reason for the seasonal job, is so I can pay for an editor.

Thank you all for sticking around, especially during my inactivity periods!Here’s to a great 2020!
