A self Challenge
a year ago
Hey! It has... been a pretty long time since my last update. Mentally I'm... here. Physically I'm doing okay, I think. I'm... still unemployed but from the state of the world, I don't see that as a surprise to you all.
For the rest of this month, at least, I'm going to try to make a picture based off a refence picture I find on FA every day.
I'll link the source picture, and the models I end up using. But, more to the point. I'm going to be doing a few things.
1: The source picture will not be one that is either a 3d Model, or one that I can't tell if it is or is not one. (Some of the artists here are damn good at making me think it is 3d when it is just hand drawn.)
2: No animations. Those take a lot of time to make, and since I'm trying to work on posing, rigging, modeling, and fixing models/rigs I have I will not be doing full animations. (For at least this month)
3: I'll be only using models that people could commission me to use in pictures. (I have a few models that can get me in trouble gaining money off of, so I don't want to tease people... that way~)
4: If you have a request, make sure you have a link to the picture you want me to try and emulate/copy AND that the artist in question isn't going to be upset with me contacting them about making a copy.
5: I won't be reaching out to everyone I make copies of their pictures for two reasons.
a) That would put a block on myself keeping me from actually getting things done.
b) I will be crediting them anyways, and not making money off their art.
If you all have issues with any of this. Let me know. I'm sort of in a headspace of "DO THE THING!" and may not be thinking clearly.

OP
More so when the only other job you had for 14~ years was canned from people far above who I could talk to. And, well, I didn't gain skills I could use in other fields there. : /
