Happy New Years Y'all!

Although I am very rarely active on this site, I just wanted to take a moment to appreciate y'all for every ounce of support along my journey. The people I've met this last year have been incredible, and I can't wait for the memories that'll be made in the years to come. While I've managed to get busy in other aspects of life, I still love the things this community has done for me and wanted to take the time to acknowledge it. Although I don't see myself being able to post anytime soon, that doesn't mean its the end of an era just yet! I still will be around here and there <3

Have a wonderful 2024!

I love the style of this Picrew maker. Thanks Mad for sharing! Here's two attempts at Night, since there was no option for truly light blue skin. And me! I don't think I've ever shared what I look like before. So yeah, here's an (indirect) face reveal of sorts. And you guys are the first to see it.

Thank you ObsidianFoxPlayz! I love this skin to the moon and back!

Thanks so much Saturn Marz for the lovely fan skin! If I could give as many diamonds as there are stars in the sky, I would. Go check it out!

New skin! This one was tricky to make. So many layers to his outfit (two collars!), and shading very light and dark colors needs a light hand. The hair was fun, though. I had a very limited value range to work with for his light blond hair, so I tried a technique I see sometimes in artwork where rather than forcing the base color to be darker than the highlight (which would compromise the true color of the character), the borders of the highlight are darkened and blended into the base.

Hair is fun

Another sneak peek for the night owls out there :)

I'm working on a skin tutorial about a topic that is very fascinating to me: 3D form and how it relates to shading. This is not something I see covered often, and if it is, it's only mentioned in passing. I wanted to get it done in time for the Skintorials Jam, but with the time I have remaining, I just don't think it will be able to measure up to the quality standards I have in mind. I don't want to submit something rushed that doesn't actually help the aspiring skinner learn. So yeah, no entry from me this time around. But you can look forward to a compete tutorial blog that really gives the topic the attention it deserves, sometime in the near future. Good luck to all the participants!

Neat! A Picrew maker that's actually good! I don't usually do these, but this one was too cool to pass by.

A little WIP for all you night owls :)
