2021 was quite a year for me, which is a major factor in my inactivity. Everything from a total career change, which I didn't really choose, but am glad happened, to a total turnaround in how much I socialise. I start 2022 feeling much more positive and happy than I have been in over a decade.
Throughout I continued to work on my 3D art, even if very little got posted online here. There are a few things I made that I would like to share at some point.
Now though I want to start to share and publish again. To return to life as it were. :P Starting with this little pic which I plan to be my newest profile picture... a much revamped and rebuilt Mauros, hopefully soon to be a refsheet :P and yes, he is fully animation ready.
Technology has moved on since I started, the frame here took mere seconds to render. I am throughly excited to see what animations I can produce as such a frame took several minutes in the past...
Thanks to those of you who have been with me on the journey over the past year and even beyond in many cases, I hope you know who you are and how much it meant. :)

That all being said, you appear to have wandered into Mauros' cave and he's standing between you and the entryway.
He does seem to be being rather friendly, perhaps you can just pet his tongue and he'll let you leave... right?
