Update mid January (along with some pics)

Hey been a bit and I apologize for that. turns out I didn't post about a crisis I had with my pc here. I'll be copy pasting my patreon post to here but for the quick recap. my pc wasn't turning on in december around the 20th and I dropped a post about it on patreon and forgot substar and fanbox. so it looks like I've been dead 2 months here x_X again sorry. theres some pics in this post at the bottom though. if you want an update on the pc situation its below as well

Been a few weeks since I last posted. again. Wanting to keep people in the loop. I have my pc back. I got it back about a week or two ago give or take a few days. So it turns out the issue was that one of my hard drives was failing (a 2014 or 13 green drive. ech)

It's been removed and the other green drive I had was replaced with a fresh blue one. So my pc shouldn't have any more issues for a while. all the drives are new except the os ssd but being an ssd. I don't think its going to have any issues.

So on to the more interesting bits. work. well. motivation wise I've been a bit stagnant recently. but I've still been plugging along. I tried following the sword tutorial (its a fast track blender tutorial) but i realized im an idiot cause i don't REALLY plan on modeling for a long time so the info im getting out of this is really not all that useful. so I've been instead working on trying to animate. There will be art "soon" it won't be as good as my sfm stuff right away for a while.

I'm still in the feeling out period. If I cant provide anything amazing soon I'll take a break from blender and finish the sfm animation of starlight with celestia and daybreaker. Have the files and all that fun so its not like theres no progress to be made there (truth be told I kinda wanted to finish that animation in blender as a sorta "mid animation" upgrade) just to have that but now im wondering if it be best to finish it in sfm then re animate it in blender some day as a then and now sorta thing. Idk we will have to see.

as for the very near future. now that i got my pc back and I've had time to fix my file paths. I'll start posting art i make here again. pics below are from a month or so ago now but there examples of what i've been doing. before you ask why its all my oc >.> I don't have all the show characters in blender. I have to keep porting them first

More to come soon. stay tuned o3o if ya have questions or anything feel free to drop them here and i'll answer them when i see them. (this applies to substar questions as well)
