Back from traveling, and super happy to read the comments on Sketchbook Journey. II! Even though I have uni during April, I noticed that I will be traveling out every weekend because of my research. Gonna be a bit difficult to draw – but good thing "difficult" does not mean impossible :D

Hey all, been a while since I've posted anything but I've got some exciting news. I'm currently in the process of throwing together another content pack for Ferdinand's FVTM mod, kinda like the old Heavy Truck Pack but with just GMC/Chevy Trucks for now. We're currently working through some issues right now, but the plan is to release it for 1.20.1 and 1.12.2 (FVTM Lite Packs are cross compatible, there are just a few bugs to work out). There are currently 7 truck cab/bed configurations, with a few more that have models partially done. There are also two SUV models on their way.



The 7 current configs are all fully modeled, and have interiors. The two cab styles are regular and crew, they have 2 and 5 seats respectively, usable by players and dogs.



These trucks also have working blinkers, tail lights, and head lights. The FVTM light beams actually do light up the road ahead of you, screenshots of that to come.



Current ETA for this pack is... hopefully soon. As I've said, there are still some bugs that need worked out. I'm holding off on opening side doors with clickable handles for now, but it's something I definitely want to do. Models are already set up for it, but it would take a decent chunk of time to configure it all. Tailgates will open by clicking the latch, and the beds themselves are swappable to other styles of beds when I get around to those models. At the very least I plan on having flatbeds for the pickups, and dump beds for the cab and chassis trucks.

Will be out traveling this weekend, so woke up at 4am to finish the last two pages of Sketchbook Journey. II. Therefore I finished the last two pages this morning, and pushed scheduled the upload to today!



I'll be back on monday. Hope you all have a great weekend!

Kinda hard for me to believe that this was 4 months ago



I will be out traveling this weekend, but bringing my laptop and drawing equipment along so that I can make the final drawing on day 120 and post it on the same day (Sunday, 7th of April). In the mean time – here is a sneak peek from Sketchbook Journey. II – spending 120 days learning to draw!

I'll just go ahead and say what I think: Tremendous effort like this, needs some well deserved attention!

My own profile has kind of become a more art-oriented page, so I feel like this amazing animatic by a fellow PMC-creator, fits right in to the kind of stuff I think you'd enjoy as much as I enjoyed it (I mean, just look at those drawings that make up the animatic!)

(also go subscribe to cheyko, they post really cool art that is worth your time)

I know it's tempting but whatever you do, don't press any of the moderation buttons that show up on resource pages! It won't be until Tuesday that we'll be back in the office to look at any of this :(

Do you think that PMC has CIA agents who have used this site in order to hide their secretive conversations, in the same way that one can use a Minecraft server to hide and share secret information, with almost no possible traces to the existence of set conversation / information?

*Looks suspiciously at DreamWanderer*

That's a lot of people! Thank you so much, it makes me super excited to post pt. 2 of Sketchbook Journey on the 8th of April :D

I need name suggestions!
This is the first time I have ever created an OC, and while I have fleshed out most of her personality, I really want the community to name her, since you have been such a big support of my sketchbook journey series!

(Personality description below the picture)



Species: Demon
Occupation: Owner of a bookshop

Personality:
[​Name] is an excitable, optimistic, and deeply passionate individual, particularly when it comes to the world of literature. She presents herself as approachable and unassuming, often donning a simple dress paired with a modest shirt beneath, eschewing makeup. Despite her tranquil demeanor, [​Name] harbors an intense curiosity, often venturing beyond the confines of her bookshop in pursuit of rumored discoveries. While possessing a strong sense of justice, she tends to steer clear of entanglements in others' dramatic affairs. However, when faced with injustice or adversity, [​Name] often tries to correct it from the shadows, only reluctantly tapping into her demonic powers, using the obsidian plates she carries, as the last resort.

Her abilities afford her mastery over three eternal flames and the shadows they cast. She uses the obsidian plates to shape these shadows, creating strong shadow puppets that can interact with the world around them. [​Name] Conceals these flames within lanterns scattered throughout her bookshop, so that her powers remain discreet, leaving visitors not to question her true nature. This practical approach to life, honed from her experiences evading trouble, underscores her adaptability to survive in any environment. Yet, as the (to her knowledge) only demon to have escaped the underworld, [​Name] finds that trouble has an uncanny knack for finding her, despite her efforts to avoid it.
