Latest MewlingsTime to get that unhappy journal entry off the front page.
As some may or may not have noticed, my will to do just about anything other than play XIV has deserted me. I'm sure it will wear off eventually. Right? Right....???
I won't turn this into a game review though. Suffice to say I'm hooked for now and looking forward to where the story is gonna go. If any of the dozen or so people that might read this also play, my three girlies are on Balmung. My main miqo'te, Chione Tilaeris has underwent only slight cosmetic changes with the reboot. I can also be found wandering around on my lalafell Momo Mizrahi and femRoe Tiger Festival.Meanwhile I'm still working on getting these portraits done. The game is making me want to draw a certain engineer, but I can't justify that until the donation portraits are off the drawing board.
Soon....

Render or Render?
I'm noticing that people are using this word for two different things here, and I'm not sure what to think. I don't want people to think my stuff is something it isn't. My renders are 3d models that I recreated material libraries and shaders for and then created an art from using Blender. I finish them up in Clip Studio or PS. It's time consuming and feels like I have to galaxy brain sometimes to get things to work, but its fun and I usually love the result. However, I see render being used as a term for an image that the bg was cut out of. I've fav'd a number of these thinking the artist created it, when the truth is, they may not be the original artist at all? And that it was never actually 'rendered' in the same way to begin with. Confusion. Anyway, my renders are a tag team effort between me and my computer to make an art out of nodes, numbers and pancakes. These are not cutaways. Is there something else I should be calling them? :shrug:
What Even is this Place Now
I know, it's been like, half a decade since I last posted here. To be honest, I had given up drawing. I got so frustrated at my lack of progress and talent that I called it quits. Saved my doodles for scrap paper and notes. But then, last year while hyper-focused on my newest favorite character, I started to learn how to make renders. With the help of my lil compy, I started to art again. I even got motivated to draw some. I've been mostly active on instagram, but I figure why not start posting here again. At least it will give me somewhere to post this stuff that doesn't horribly compress everything. I wonder who all is still around..
Art Alternatives
Another day, another lengthy absence from this place. But hey, I actually had an art to submit this time!
Might be I'll have another. Gotta feed this obsession with a certain bespectacled chocobro during the lengthy wait for his episode. Can't have it starving away. If I can manage to stop talking myself out of trying art again, that is.
Then there's this place. What in the world has happened to dA? Used to be screenshots were against ToS. I should know. I had a screenshot deviation of a mod I made get reported so I had to make a 'brochure' image for it instead back in the day. But now straight up unedited screenshots are what I get in sear
It's that time of year again...
...when I peek in here with nothing to share, catch up on notifications and then do things other than art.
So um, how's this place work again? Where's mah channels? :noes:
