I followed a course on simple projects that have big impact and this is the result of the first video series. Had a lot of fun doing this one, and I can't wait for the other ones.

Linux makes me happy, Blender helps me art, and Solus solved a lot of my problems.
I'm here because I like to RP in depth with high quality writing. Now, don't mistake me for high quality; I'm just hoping it rubs off.

Pretty much all my posts are collaborations posted by others on our game!

This is my take on a mimic from the game Dungeons and Dragons. Since it's Christmas time, I set the short animation to Jingle Bells by mad/no/mad. I used @curtisjamesholt 's setup from the Modular Workspaces addon to set the evil mood for this mimic. The textures were adaptations from @Felicia_White !
Almost all the deformation for this animation was done with a lattice; the rest was done using the AnimAll for the curves, which comes with Blender by default.
Merry Christmas!

Happy Thursday from the cargo bay, gang!
Can I start by saying that I am utterly thankful for the chance to write and share story with each of you talented writers? This corner of the world has given me such pleasure as we've wound this tale across the 'Verse. To that end, Sail and I have an announcement to make.
For the past couple years we've created a tradition over the holiday season for all the writers who take part in the game. We all know how the holidays can be a big slowdown for writing, and especially so for those with busy schedules, both work and play. There are others, though (looking at you Sail, and at myself in the mirror) who want to fill those chilly nights with even more stories and character interactions. As Sail said two years ago (I can't say it any better), rather than seek out a 12 step meeting, Sail and I thought to open up the OOC thread for an AU HOLIDAY!
Here's what we mean:
For the unfamiliar, AU= Alternate Universe.
From now through Sunday, 1/7/24, all members are welcome to write AU Firefly tales here in OOC. These stories can involve your existing characters, or others you may wish to try on. Any time period is fine, so long as you're inside the Firefly 'verse. If you want to team up for 1x1 or small group RPG, go for it...with the understanding that we have a hard stop the night of 1/7.
Except for those caveats, you're free to tell whatever stories you like! (I'll add that explicit content is best left in your Gdocs.)
The plot for FF2V will continue uninterrupted during this time, which means we'll still be writing Boone's intro JP and beyond.
So have fun this holiday season! Feel free to explore new character arcs for existing characters, completely new characters, or situations of your own design! Your humble hosts wish all the joys of the season to you and your loved ones!
Happy Holidays,
Sail & Wolf

A Moment In Time
In the galley
assembled before the captain
the calm before the storm
This tea in my cup
Edina's calming smile
warms me in cold space
The deckhand fidgets
seats fill around the table
quiet, Abby sighs
"Have you met him--"
eyes meet eyes, a shrug
felon pilot
Heavy footfalls in
the corridor, breathe in--
stomach turns, fists ball
Worked a little more on it today with some texture painting and posing.
This is just an exercise in representing an expression. I'm not really doing any heavy lifting, and I feel guilty for that. The model is from MakeHuman. The painterly effect is from the Tragiditalist Toolbag Live Painter filter.
I'm literally just painting over the model in places that I want the color of the filter to change slightly to give a more expressionist feeling. All in all, it's therapeutic.

Learning Geonodes in Blender and followed a few tutorials. Here's one by Blender Guru:
Finished a little animation for the Wand of Smiles, a meme item in DnD.

Finished this today:
I'm messing with a NPR (non-photo realistic) toon shader here.
Some behind the scenes shots.

@penny Haha!!!
There are definitely lots of different approaches for sure! I could record something for you that would be more tailored if you had a specific question like: How do I draw a picture in Blender using the grease pencil. Or: How do I even use this thing?
With the level of effort and attention I see in your drawings, I'm sure you could learn Blender! But me, I'm biased. And also I'm addicted to the grease pencil right now.

@penny Thank you!
It definitely took some getting used to the interface. Now that I'm familiar, it becomes like second nature. I'm sure it's the same in the software you use for your drawings.
I heartily recommend Blender to every artist, though. If you don't want to learn the 3D stuff at first, the 2D interface might be a little more simple. Once you get a hang of it, the Grease Pencil stuff (seen above in the Death Before Decaf image) is just drawing strokes, though I leaned heavily on 3D objects and outlined them (the skeleton arm, the stars, even the text).
Blender is not a classic drawing program, for sure, but skills from other drawing software can be applied there. I could gab about Blender for hours--days probably. Let me know if you are interested, or want maybe a simple tutorial!
