Happy belated spoopers everyone! 🎃
I enjoyed minimal spoops yesterday (aside from the dog getting out) but it was a great Spooptober overall! I went to a party as a goblin and while the mask was arguably the most painful thing my face has ever experienced, I persevered. Could everyone tell I was in pain? Absolutely. But what are social gatherings if not enduring the masks we wear? To s...

I spent the first week or so finishing up some UI stuff before moving back to my arch-nemesis: level design. There's always a bit of an adjustment period when hopping between programming and art production, but environmental art has always been a particular pain point as it's simply something I don't have a lot of experience in. I've kinda dipped my toes in it here and there...

Just got back from FanExpo (which was fun) with con flu (which was less fun), so it's been a slower month than I would have liked. That said, FanExpo was great! I got to help my partner run her booth and bless her soul, she managed to do quite well for herself! I also snagged some prints and other goodies while I was there, so all in all it was a good time. I did however com...

Greetings, Bearers!
This month, I return to you a changed man. A better man. After saving the realm of Valisthea, I expected to return a hollow shell of what I once was—a lifeless being devoid of all hope and purpose in this world. But instead, in accepting my own truths, I became something much greater. I became inspired.

If you're wondering why this is two weeks late—Clive. That is all.
June was hell. Work-wise it actually went pretty well, but my soul was nearly broken by CONSTANT social commitments. One of which was a wedding but the other of which was a bachelor's party weekend that was 5.5 HOURS AWAY. Imagine a supposed "good friend" asking so much of you?? And on Clive's release weekend??

Y'know what's crazy? I think we're in what might be one of the greatest years for video games literally ever. The last year I can think of that was this crazy would have to be 2017 with BotW, P5, Nier, etc. But now we've got Hi-Fi Rush, TotK, FF16, Jedi Survivor, Diablo 4, SF6, MK1, Tekken 8—ALL IN ONE YEAR??

Morning gamers. There is no joke to be made at this time—this is simply a Tears of the Kingdom waiting room. I guess I'll talk about Arby a bit but who even CARES when Ganondorf is waiting for us looking like THAT. I simply cannot compare!

What's up fellow citizens! It's once again tax season which means, as usual, I send my accountant a nice little email with all of my expenses and deductibles for the previous year. But there's another layer to these little "chats" we have.

I want you all to know that I deadass spent an entire week this month modeling ROCKS. It wasn't too ROUGH, but it was a bit HARD at first. At one point I hit ROCK BOTTOM, so I had to get BOULDER—I had to find something more CONCRETE. After digging through the RUBBLE however, I finally got there. I became what I was always meant to be. Maybe it was something ...

Hope everyone had some banger holidays! I took a two week break to spend time with friends and family, do some music studies, and start setting up a new D&D campaign!

Okay we're still a month out but I could either do it next month and be late or this month and be early and considering that I've already been BLASTING Christmas music since mid-November, I'm down to be a little bit early :^)

Happy (belated) Spoopers everyone!
Hope you all had a great weekend and only cosplayed the finest of husbandos and waifus. My partner and I went as a Pikmin and Korok respectively, so naturally our slim spandex suits invoked nothing but the pure, unfiltered yearning of all who gazed upon us. Yahaha!

This month begins the arc of "I'm going to be working on something secret so I'm gonna talk about random stuff each month instead of showing off actual progress." Exciting!
It also began the arc of 3ds Max systematically breaking me down into a puddle of what I once was—my sense of self, shattered. Was Max always in control? Was my confidence merely a figment o...

OH WHAT A GLORIOUS MONTH IT'S BEEN~
I finished up Omen's transformation and started planning out work for the Final Form ™. I had a lot of momentum coming out of Omen, so once I finished I got started on rigging the last form almost immediately. With progress like this, I could even start animating the next form within the same week! Cool!

It's finally that time of year where I blast Christmas music and excitedly run around the house in my birthday suit. Pillsbury doughboy cookies fill the stomach and the 1964 Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer plays on loop in the background purely for its historical ARTISTIC MERIT. Occasionally, I also make wolf boys.
