Just finished a new piece. It's a night scene which I've never painted, but I think it came out decent. I've already posted it on Deviant Art.   I'm randomly taking this Digital tutors class: High-Resolution Game Character Creation Pipeline in ZBrush and Maya .   I'm about halfway following through the lesson while making my own model. Hopefully I can finish and texture it soon so I can post it. School's starting up in a day but hopefully I can keep up with completing my side projects despite my new workload.  

So I discovered my old blog again that I never really quite kept up with... haha... I decided to start it up again. Right now I'm randomly creating 2D digital art while learning more about 3D modeling in general. I still have a visual novel / rpg of the otome variety I want to create (I think I mentioned it already in previous posts). And in those previous posts I had Youtube videos with pictures I painted for said visual novel. Over time I've changed it up and am not going to use any of those photos. 😰 Recently I just got accepted to an online school for Game Art design (SNHU) - I think it should take me about a year and a half to graduate with a Bachelor's. I start next month and I'm pretty excited. 😁 I made a 3D dog modeled off of one of my real dogs from scratch. I call him Explorer Sparky lol. Explorer Sparky by Terra-Essence on Sketchfab Okay and thus ends my rambling for right now.

I'm posting all these videos together, just trying to get more art out. Mt_Majora songs: foyoself, eep, and peeno Mt_Majora songs: 2sec, titled, and uck Mt_Majora song: suji Mt_Majora song: rac Still lots of art needing to be made for the vn though -_-" And credits for the musician...

I decided to create a wooden mask for an artist that requested one. This post will be about how I created said mask! I forgot how long it took me to finish carving it as I was doing so on and off (maybe 2-3 weeks). The mask is entirely hand carved, I didn't use any power tools. Because of that, my hand would cramp and there was a lot of stopping lol. If you're ever doing a project like this, just remember to listen to your body and go at a pace comfortable for you, even if you feel you're a little slow. I know I felt like I progressed sluggishly, since this was my first real undertaking trying to create something out of a chunk of wood. So, to get started on my project I needed the material to work on and the right tools. For the raw wood, I salvaged a piece of an old bench that was painted red, faded with age. Next up, I needed the tools; unfortunately, human beings don't have metal talons or anything sharp naturally growing on their bodies. So, I gathered ...

This painting was cut into 2 videos. The first video shows painting the background, the second video is me adding/painting two small people to the background. This painting is for my visual novel, and there will be more to come! I really hope to do all the art for the vn introduction soon-ish (and post it here). Then maybe that's when I'd talk about what it'll be about. The music is by Mt_Majora once again :) The songs from the first video, listed in order, are: edgeless, wee, neo, terrific ventriloquism, and untitleds. Second video songs: really, not, and mufu.

I did this painting for my visual novel. I plan to elaborate more on this blog about the content of said visual novel, but I'm still writing the script and shaping the story (I haven't even come up with a title! >.<). For now, I just decided to post this video showing the sped up process it took me to create this background. The music playing comes from the artist Mt_Majora. The song names in order are: bat, blank, dau, loose, devi, letterip, and lang. Mt_Majora is an artist that believes in the open-source revolution and therefore all of his music is available for use non-commercially and commercially by other artists as long as he is credited. I also use creative commons licenses with all my art as I too believe in an open-source world/future. I also simply ask for credits if any of my art is used.
