Happy New Year & Animation Update (Pixiv Fanbox)

Hope you all enjoyed the new year parties! I spend the first day of the new year playing Elden Ring and looking after my pukey girlfriend. Beyond that, I've been mad busy over the Christmas and New Year period, so sorry if I haven't managed to catch up with you yet. I've also not put together a monthly preview, like I would normally. Instead, I've been trying to cut my teeth with Blender. Have to say, I was a bit stumped by just how to use it. Seems like I have a lot of the principals down, but the interface and what Blender can do has escaped me a bit. As you'll see in the non-spidergwen image (more on that in a sec) of Gwen, that's my first static render in Blender, and I wasn't mad happy about her eyes. But I also had no idea how to even control the camera! So I started doing the unthinkable and watched tutorials. Hence the donut. I had some trip-ups, and I forgot to disable so reference objects, but I was quite happy with the speed in which my computer handled blender, which is significantly faster! If you like, you can see the animation here: https://files.catbox.moe/a1o3ty.mp4 The animation itself took half the time a single render might from DAZ. Obviously far less complex, but it's encouraging. Still, I've got my work cut out, and I'm sure I'll start realising obvious things months after I started, like I did with Daz. So in the meantime, I made a quick freebie with Gwen, dressed as Spider-Gwen. Don't know what possessed me, perhaps just an urge to create - do you ever get that? Wasn't overly happy with the outfit itself, but it is what it is. Funny how stupid things like that can take up the most time. Anway, hope you have an awesome start to the year! There's naturally a bit less this month coming, there's something every week though and they are already scheduled in :) Love -TD
