The Extent Required To Glue A Helmet Together When You Aren't Exactly A Maker Of Props Like This.

The extent required to glue a helmet together when you aren't exactly a maker of props like this.

Mix of camera clamps, binder clips, a woodwork clamp, several pieces of wood, DND books, and 25lb barbells.

End result is supposed to be a Darth Nox helmet for a friend.

Dang. I haven't posted a new piece in a few days now.

As recompense, here's Civil doing a funny pose cause I'm using him as a reference to make a new model.

A new model? Yes, I'm finally gonna post something other than Civil soon!

The Quicker Commute

"Teleporting is way faster than driving to work."

Not my best render, but I wanted to make something since I haven't made a render in a while. Been super focused on physical projects like the helmet and Armada ship painting and printing.

Pancake Night

"You like them a bit thinner, right?" said Civ as a mid-air pancake landed cleanly on the cast iron.

"Well, yeah, but you know I can't taste the sweetness in them. There's a reason I don't typically eat these," said Lye as she sat down at the booth.

"I know, that's why I got the good syrup that's more flavor/less sweet and used a bit less sugar in them," replied Civ, "Plus I had some leftover bacon that we could sprinkle on! More savory than sweet tonight!"

"Hmm, not bad. I guess that will do," said Lye.

I don't think the post above is following the site safety plan. I'll have to note this for the OSHA report.

Finally got around to making an outfit for engineering mode. Most of the time I'm just wearing slacks and a polo as a CAD monkey on a computer (or CAD otter, but my coworkers probably wouldn't understand), but on the few occasions I make a construction site visit or do a soil investigation, I look a bit more like this.

Also had fun with the idea of anthropomorphic safety, and realized that tails would be a liability with how they are behind the person. High vis straps on tails feels like the same as wearing the hard hat or high vis vest, just another layer of safety for something that could go wrong.

Learning Log: finally decided to tackle UV unwrapping. The vest is a UV unwrapped texture I made in Photoshop, so figuring out how to make it work here was nice. Definitely have much to learn there, but I'm glad to have finally dipped my toes into the UV wrapping side and actually have done something successfully.

Introducing, Lyesse Var Terrefta, your not-always-friendly, not-always-neighborly necromancer.

Wanna know about her? Read below.

Lyessa Var Terrefta, or just Lye for short, is a politician who is also a necromancer. She works at the local city hall as a secretary, keeping records straight and schedule on track, but she also serves a secondary role as a member of the City Defense Agency. Being in the woods means monsters are not an infrequent problem, thus her use of necromancy has helped keep sectors of the city not easily accessible by other forms of the City Defense Agency safe.

I'm currently unsure of her sexuality, but I was thinking of hetero-leaning-asexual as she doesn't see too much need to socialize as such but knows she'd rather be with a man if she did. She's got a nippy and blunt personality, and lacks a ton of patience for people she interacts with. However, she does understand that toning it down is useful for cooperation.

She and Civil are housemates, with Civil and her having met in college and deciding that due to financial needs to co-own a house together. This may lead to some interesting interactions as the nippy-and-blunt personality of Lye interacts with Civil's friendly-and-loose demeanor. Due to this, their relationship is entirely platonic. Plus I've been thinking that Civil is leaning more gay than bi recently.

I'm currently creating a small world where anthros and magic are the norm, but set in the modern day. She will live here, as well as with Civil, in a mythical version of my home city. I'm also planning to create a few more characters, at minimum a co-worker for Lye, and best friend for Civil, and a boyfriend for Civil, to eventually embark on maybe trying to make short animations or comics out of it.

Lye is based on a DND character I played where she was a politician in charge of her nation's defense agency as a necromancer. She was a very powerful wizard until she got isekai-ed to another world where she basically reset to level 1 and had to regain both her magical and political power. She was one of my favorite characters, trying to play the stealthy wizard who used necromancy for larger fights, and tried to talk her way out of others.

This is an in-progress model, and so there are definitely still some issues with it. However, much like the Civil model, its now at a state that I'm happy to start messing around with and trying to make art. Improvements will be made incrementally as I find them and deem the need to fix or add to her model.
