Nearly there...Some missing details and fixes to do. Also I still don't have shoes.

It's character building, in more ways than one.

Been invited to contribute to a zine of all things—it at least gets the pen moving

[VRC] Texel density gallery

I've been keeping it relatively low-key but I've been exploring VRChat as an outlet for 3D art and environmental design I'm trying to explore more of. My first go at making a world is a simple gallery I can use for reference for myself when deciding on texture resolution.

The world is still being reviewed in the Community Labs, but you can check it out here still:

An inherent, altruistic drive? Or means to an end compelled by old, bad habits?

[Commentary] Light Era Han psuedolanguage

One area I've never really wanted to touch in my worldbuilding was conlanging. As someone who has had a lot of experience worldbuilding and engaging in such communities during a past tenure as a worldbuilding moderator, conlanging always felt like making detailed maps or loads of flags or wiki pages to me: something that's really technically impressive, but is more superficial to the actual meat and potatoes of the culture they're associated with. Additionally, it's just a lot of pain to come up with something, and truthfully most of it is n...

[Commentary] Notes + worldbuilding dev for the SocDem military

Something a little bit different from sketches: here's some diagramming I made for developing the SocDem military, which also culminated in that picture of the Soli crew outfits you might have seen recently.

A lot of what I try to do with Light Era is about reconstructing or at least questioning common sci-fi tropes, especially through a postcolonial or progressive lens. Sci-fi military is particularly bothersome for me, if only because it's so stale: some of you know my dislike for the numerous grey box ships named "Hyperion" or somes...

Indulgent art! Though slow on progress on all fronts since I'm recovering from wisdom tooth surgery.

Patreon Updates + Downsizing

Hello all,

First of all I want to thank all of you for continuing to support what I do, especially through the tumultuous last few years. I've never really pushed my Patreon super hard, so the fact that this many of you are subscribed does mean a lot to me and helps stave off a lot of the imposter syndrome all artists get.

In short, though, I'll be downsizing this Patreon account, and removing the reward tiers along with reducing the threshold of access. I'll explain why below, but if you're not interested you can skip to the las...

[WIP] Antraea's flat, in-progress renders 5

Water closet! Lighting this one was tricky because you run the risk of accidentally shining a great honking spotlight on the toilet.

[WIP] Antraea's flat; table lamp

Sketches and concepts. Was a lot trickier to design a Light Era holographic-y lamp than anticipated, as now I have to make something that looks good when it's on and off.
