so got bazzite going and got blender, zbrush, substance painter, and clip studio installed. clip studio was rather frustrating to get going. now the only issue im having is with the tablet. can't seem to get the pressure sensitivity working. so unless i can fix that then i might have to a do a dual boot with win10 just so i can use it. but i'll only do that if i can't figure it out. but besides that bazzite is pretty nice. taking some getting used to that's for sure. anyways getting back to working on coms and stuff! really loving how much faster blender is on linux X3

just waiting on the internal usb hub, a couple cables, and the ssd. they should arrive tomorrow! can't wait to get this baby up and running!

my pc is steadily slowing down now. like right now i can't get my ram to go at xmp speeds anymore and now they're running at stupidly low speeds. this is affecting my ability to work on stuff at the moment. hell it's even affecting how games run too... but fret not! thanks to yall i got the pc parts ordered! so just gotta wait for them to come in the mail! which shouldn't be long. they should all arrive by next week.

so if i'm really slow to respond or getting your com progress to you. im sorry. it's due to a dying pc and there's not much i can really do. my hands are kind of tied until the new pc parts arrive

working on making it a full on ych since i've gotten some encouragement X3
it'll be a ych when i finish the sculpt for the base head mesh i'll use for it.


note me if interested

well for now i got things running but im pretty much running with a limp here.
my pc froze earlier today and it just refused to boot into windows. after some tinkering and looking around with some help im able to use it again but right now this thing is showing it's age and it's really getting past the time for me to upgrade to a new pc. as my current pc in it's current state is just a ticking time bomb ready to go up in flames at any given moment.

so if you want to help out with like a com or a donation or something then please hit me up cuz im not entirely sure how long things will stay functional. honestly it was kind of scary thinking how i could've lost everything today

just been one problem after another...

man i wish i could find some blender scenes of like real life retail stores just to make stuff in. just to really fill in some long overdue fantasies lol. i do remember seeing a best buy one that looked hella good but they want waaaaaaaay too much for it. bleh. the only other things i can find are either way too low poly or has textures so low quality that it's not even worth bothering with. honestly pretty disappointed.
anyways, just a random thing that pops up in my head every now and then

so lately i've been running into instances of people assuming i'm using ai for my art. i've said this before and i'll say it again.

I DON'T USE AI IN ANY OF MY WORK NOR DO I CONDONE THE USE OF IT. I USE BLENDER, ZBRUSH, SUBSTANCE PAINTER, AND CLIP STUDIO FOR MY ART. IF YOU ASSUME ANY OF MY ART IS AI THEN I WILL IMMEDIATELY BLOCK YOU. NO EXCUSES. NO IF'S AND'S OR BUT'S!

i have shown time and time and time again of my art being done in these programs. i've even streamed the ENTIRETY of this process several times! assuming my work is ai at this point is an insult to me and all the years of work i've done.

learn to differentiate real art from fucking soulless garbage

day went pretty alright lol. went to a red robin and got to eat my favorite burg there!
lol anways yeah thanks again for all the wishes!

big 33 years of livin
hopefully many more years to come!

still got a few slots open and need $200 by this monday to keep the power on

Gotta love it when you work hard on something for someone and they dont appreciate it. They don't appreciate what you do or what anyone else does for them and complain that you aren't doing something the same way other people do. But not to your face. But behind your back. Which is just beyond shitty to do. Can't stand that shit cuz that was the same garbage my ex roommate would pull.

if you want a com that involves uber inflation. an existing model is NOT NEEDED!
just want to let yall know. a model isn't need for uber inflation pics. so if you want a pic with your sona/oc like that. it's all good!

bills are due again. prices are still the same. decided not to change them for now. send me a note if interested!

super big thanks to the few of yall that helped! i really REALLY appreciate it!

got the ticket paid and also got the tag and insurance updated. the rest will be handled by my parents.
but honestly god this whole damn thing shouldn't have even happened. i haven't been this mentally exhausted in a long time and i really want a break. but i can't. at least not right now. but in the meantime i opened up a good chunk of drive space so now i can work on blender properly again for now. so im going to get coms done and just chill.

again huge thanks for the support! im going to make sure that this kind of crap never happens again

the tag was out and i had completely forgot to take care of it. now i got a big ticket to pay $320 by the 2nd! so any help will be greatly appreciated! whether it be through donation or getting a ych. im going to try and get some coms done to open up some slots to also help!

why is it that every other update with windows. it'll break blander and it'll start leaking memory? im still on windows 10 at the moment and i don't know if it's a thing on win11 and never will know lol. but yeah it's just hella annoying cuz it forces me to update blender to fix the problem that shouldn't be in the first place.

If you're wondering what the memory leak symptoms are so you can catch it. It's either A: blender won't be able to load objects in rendered mode and will say that its out of gpu and host memory. or B: it'll start creating loads of temp files and eat up your drive space super fast until you exit blender. or C: sometimes it's both at the same time.

it's just hella annoying when something that's been working fine for months on end eventually gets broken thanks to microsoft's continual incompetency

after talking with a couple friends and a few others about it. i'll leave it up.
was just in a real rough spot and couldn't really afford to have something like that not work when it was needed to. so that's why i was wanting to take it down. it's like being stranded in the middle of nowhere and all you have is a car that's perfectly fine but it doesn't have any gas. so it just frustrates you further y'know?
but anyways yeah. it's here to stay. if you want a slot just hit me up

Seems that nobody wants it so I dont feel like there's any reason it should stay up any longer. So probably gonna remove it later tonight or tomorrow.

bills are due this monday. just need to make $200

so ych's are open! please grab one to help support! will have a blueberry one up later today buuuut im not entirely sure on that one lol. we'll have to see there XP
can't open coms as slots are still full at the moment. the frequent power outages the past weeks have really slowed me down there

base price for coms will now be $60! the rest will stay the same. but yeah next time i open up i'll update the price sheet. but the increase has been decided due to com requests getting more complex as time goes. so in turn that ends up with me having to spend more time on them as well

im curious. what are your thoughts on the kabalmystic models nowadays? back then people hated them but now i'm seeing them pretty much almost everywhere. so how do y'all feel about em now?

honestly i still don't like them but im not going to hate on them lol. anyways just something that i've been wanting to ask for a while now

pleeeeaaasssseee for the love of god stop releasing models that are already IN A POSE! just leave them in the default T or A pose please! it's a lot harder to work with a model that comes in a pose that you can't fucking reset to the default!

Sorry I've been slow lately. Have been dealing with a lot power outages the past few weeks. It's getting incredibly infuriating at this point.

so i was already going to switch to linux after windows 10 stopped getting supported. but after seeing my friend struggle with win11 for the past week or so. yeah it solidified my decision.

what happened with my friend is that they were using win11 fine for a while until a recent update caused their pc to constantly either hard crash or blue screen. we've tried so much to fix it. deleting updates. rolling back updates. updating drivers. etc. some things worked for a short while but the crashes just came right back. they even tried doing a fresh clean install of win11 and it hard crashed yet again.

so yeah i'm not touching win11 ever after seeing all that happen over a fucking update. so i'm probably going to go with bazzite linux when the time comes. saw that blender runs faster in linux compared to windows so that's a huge bonus! currently seeing what programs i got installed currently that work in linux. which isn't much since it's just art related stuff and mod managers lol

slots are full for now and im going to be real busy this month! aiming to get more open later on though so keep an eye out!
and a reminder again the ych's are always open so if you want one then feel free to ask!
