2nd student game dev game in the works

Project takes some inspiration from Popol Vuh if the team agrees ! 🫡 Mostly with the story of Vucub Caquix — but until then, this is all to be seen

I forgot to mention, why shes like

Straight up at 0 is bc I was using that as an image plane

I'll move her up later

Based off this ( for class ) , a gift for someone dear to me based off their cat

I'll also post my exor animation ( hopefully ) soon ; I want to reanimate some aspects, and replace the music later on

First low poly attempt for an upcoming animation

Ty, and it did ( i think

I'm gonna keep an eye on things and go back if / when it does flare again

Good news, I managed to get it ( mostly ) fixed. Good lord medications are very strong for this, however.... i lost like a day and a half just sleeping.

I'll keep an eye on things for now

It Literally opens at this angle i did not even realize for a few weeks until my jaw just popped out 😭

On a pain scale of 10, this is literally a .2, so don't worry !! I'm good !! Ty for the well wishes, unfortunately this is just a hypermobility thing

Getting my jaw realigned bc I didn't realize how bad it got LOL

I THOUGHT I JUST BRUISED IT INITIALLY....

Im ngl I've had paper cuts worse than this, talking becomes extremely easy to be fatigued over, however 😔

But tyty

I will ! Ty !

I try to find a bit of humour in it at least, as it happened right after i was told i have a speech next week 😭

Not fun, but it is funny ( to me at least )

Worst case i'll just stick to box soup for a few days til my doc calls back

Oh yeah i am, but ty

At worst its just dull pressure and my mouth hangs mildly crooked, but we ball

I find it more so funny to a degrer 💀 but i'm also stupid bendy that i make doctors squirm

Just posting this to say :

If your jaw clicks or pops out of place ( like mine does when brushing my teeth )

Please get it checked out asap. I thought it was normal and now half my jaw is hanging ( <-- said the same person who's arms bend at 205° instead of 180° )

Update to say i'm alive ( as usual )

Unfortunately i ( somehow ) dislocated my jaw LOL, so that's why i've been dead everywhere beyond university

I'm good tho i'll check up on it asap, until then, eating is gonna suck

So don't worry, i'll be good

Imo, just warn its nsfw and potentially spoiler them for those who dont want to see it

Another example, but I've got 2 weeks left and a few assets left to draw

The animations and photos without overlays are really funny

Working on game dev stuff for uni, first public in the works :)

Mockup animation I did of assets I whipped up, just to test animations and placement

#GameDev #Art

This is due in 12 hours....

Animation WIP

This is why I've been dead 😭 second half is rough and to be fixed

#mario #SuperMarioqRPG #3DS #3Danimation

Slowly but surely !! Ive got an older opportunity, but that'll finish in due time

For now, I've got this so it's exciting

Thank you !! This is lowkey kinda nerve wracking, even as someone who like

Never gets anxiety

I'm so excited

Might have my biggest indie opportunity at the moment, ohhh I'm so excited

It's a small project right now, but I'm being asked to help with merch and what not

Thank you so much, it's very appreciated :)

Took a lot if trial and error ( and drawing all the bricks in a height map 😭 ) , but i'm excited to get it animated soon !

After today, I've only modeled for 129 days. I started August 30, 2025.

That's 18½ weeks.

Just barely over 4 months.

Now I'm working on my second 3D animation.

It's insane to look back on where I started, as I always thought I'd be a 2D artist. Now look at me.

My first ever 3D model. A dog house with a flat bone, and a crooked antenna.

Because at the end of the day, we all start somewhere.

Latest state with all the lights turned on to show detailing. To be animated.

you will see the view so many fear. You will never start back at square one.

You may be human, but you are good. You are capable.

Don't let the fear of the unknown turn to the sorrows of regretfulness.

Because the higher you climb, the more kindness you show yourself, the more risks you take, even at the fear of stumbling back,

Different light placements.

Because at the base of a steep climb, you can't see past the clouds above. The idea of a peak fills your mind, the arduous journey brings fear, but, so much is accomplished in that first step.

But first, you must step.

Original lighting, far too dark to see details.

Experiment with using a flat plane on the door window. Height maps were used to give volume to the fabric and bars, despite it being entirely 2D.

We idealize the concept of perfection in all, but it is flaws that make us human.

No matter the circumstances of your birth, you are fallible. You will make mistakes.

There is no pinnacle to reach, no peak to pierce eith your mark, it's the illusion is that stunts you.
