I want to simply test the alley of making some shorter "tutorials" or videos. This is highly experimental and I'm not making any promises yet. I might even try a format thats more about philosophy around art, art problems that I am facing and have faced myself etc. BUT:
WHY?
I want to try something different that's still relevant to my art, and see if it's something I like and if it's of value to you guys!
THE FORMAT:

So last weekend I really crashed in myself again, and realised I need to tone down these expectations and shoulds in my head.
So RN Im only doing things that dosn't chain me to much in expectations, mainly focusing on healing, catching bad habbits, relaxing and doing art IF I feel like it, and if i do art its mostly practice stuff.
There will probably not be to much to show for this month.
So I'm wondering if you have any requests f...
Someone disrespectfully started to share it around so I decided to take it down!
IF you didn't get time to download it contact me, as long as you where a active member in the timeframe of 2.sept -> okt.2 I'll send u one
I again, started to build up a lot of stress, from shoulds and whatnot.
So I've decided to let myself off the hook for some days.
And if I'm going to be honest the success I started to screw with my head and make me think about what I should do to retain people here. Since I want to be able to live out of this.
But the reality with me is that I quickly become very hard on myself and stress myself out more than anything, so i need a couple days to cool off.
So this ...
A lot of these where tests and i couldn't really decide on a couple so i just decided to post all of them so that U can pick the one u want, if u do.
I'm a lazy boy today due to my migraine last night so there's no logos on these ones
More practice sculpt.
Again initially inspired by Dmytro, but i shifted over to taking elements from Reyna from Valorant.
I was actually surprised with how the head came out with this one and pretty happy with it ^^
If you guys have any wishes for the blender file, or to make any of these into STL's then let me know!
Slowly getting back into the flow again!
Right now Im mostly focusing on busts, faces specifically, to reduce and simplify my style but at the same time improve my facial structures and try to push new styles.
These days im inspired by Dmytro Bajda - on of the few artists i never get tired of:
His link -> https://www.artstation.com/demonu4
I also want to make a post dedicated to feedback on the STL's
As the two I just released are my two first ones ever released, and I don't currently have any way to test if they print well with a Resin printer as they are.
So would love any constructive feedback!
I have to add: I'm making these with Resin printers in mind, mostly because they can make way more detail. And from what I understand its hard to make PLA prints to become detaile...
I'm looking for inspiration on what character to do next(Possibly make an STL out of)!
Feel free to share your ideas ( Pictures, name of character + where they are from would be appreciated)
These guidelines are not set in stone but I generally follow these:
To make things simpler I'm going to upload both the normal art-pack and NSFW version here this time, since I don't have much else extra to say in the normal art-pack post!

This month I went with some more folders, since there was just generally more pictures.
A lot of them are just drafts/practice stuff but id figured id share nontheless^^
If you have any feedback, or want me to make any of the renders into a wallpaper LMK!
This month I'm going to try to be more active posting WIP's and whatnot on patreon. I originally did that more on Discord, since its faster and easier.
Bu...
More info is in the link bellow ( Id feel weird listing the same things twice)
This link will only last until 2nd OCT so be sure to claim yours now.
If you by any chance miss this, and where a active MEGA SUPPORTER during this period contact me and i'll hook you up!
Thank you so so much again to all of you for the support, seeing my patreon numbers rise makes me feel that my goal of being self sustained feels way more real now! I'm honestly still a little bit in disbelief
So the time to join the previous months celebration is now over. You need to have joined before 1st sept.
ALSO be sure to add your address if you want a print, explanation on to how is in one...
I've sent out this in messages, but i'll do it here as well to cover all fronts!
Asking each individual person to fill in their address and having people come to me long after saying they didnt get anything because of it is a lot of extra work.
So please add your address within the 1st sept, so that we know who wants prints, how many to make and ship them to!
100k Celebration Pick-a-print + IMPORTANT NOTE

Again im overwhelmed by the support!
I understand that a lot of you came mostly for the STL and Print, but i still appreciate the support nontheless!
If there's anything you'd want to see, feel free to kindly share it here ^^
Oh and also: if someone does actually print Toga, i'd love to see the results!
IMPORTANT:
Mega supporter tier did originally not ask for an address. I just turned this on.
BUT patreons who joined before I made the change have to
Follow these steps to share their address
Will only be valid until 1ST SEPT. So be sure to use it asap!

If you have any feedback don't hesitate to send me a message here on patreon!
I want to start with:
Sorry if i don't sound appreciative, I'm just very overwhelmed and a little stressed right now x)
I made a promise on a whim in a sea of emotions + overwhelmed by the flood problems we had here yesterday haha. So Im honestly not all caught up with everything but at the same time I feel like i had to act quick before I give my friend that makes and packs prints for me to much work :'D
So, as you can see.:
All mega supporters and...
Idk what came over me but when doing this I just suddenly flowed a lot again and just didn't care to much about the overall quality, just having fun and moving forward. Which was befreeing. So Im going to try to do more of these in the future.
Just let go of worries and shortcommings, try to fix things if u can, but not get to stuck when u can't get past a point.
Ik its easier said than done but yeah, saying it to solidify it more in my head. And imma try to go a little bit ...
Honestly don't know what to say other than:
Here it is!

2023-08-20 19:19:36 +0000 UTC View PostDo you mind if I push this months rewards to the next month?
Why?
Im creating way less now, I'm more scatterbrained, and even struggling to get myself to practice from day to day.
If you really want it now, and thats what you feel is right I could do it and won't judge you for it.
But i would prefer not to just to have one less thing to think about RN
Moving to my brother went well, it happened over 3 ish days + i spent some time helping him out in return for helping me as well. So I've been really spent the last few days.
Still acclimating to this place, still some noise here that's a little disturbing for me. BUT it's way better than my last place, and waaay less tension/friction. More reliable patterns and easier to relax at night. I also have way less problems with my sinuses(so far) So thats good.
I havn...
As you guys know, I've been both a bit more troubled lately and tried to reduce pressure and stressors.
At the same time I decided its best for me to go back to basics and understand fundamentals better, since I sort of got burned out of the way I did art.
So What's going on now?
In-between the stress, I'm slowly learning and getting slightly better with sculpting faces from the base up.
The funny part is that I'm not able to make the nice faces I did...
I'm not going to go into the details of all the drama that i've went trough lately but.
IM MOVING TO MY BROTHERS.
In the meantime until I find my own place.
I finally came to the conclusion that this place is bad/toxic for me, it's holding me back, making me unnecessarily stressed and sick. so yeah, it took to long but I'm finally ready for it.
That will most likely not leave me away from practicing for long but i'll get into that in this post:

Let me know who you would like me to make a bust out of for the next raffle bust sculpt!
- Must be a female character
This time around I want to collect suggestions ahead of time, then make a poll closer to next round of Bust Sculpt Raffle
Since theres a lot going on in my life rn and im trying to move, Idk when I will be able to do the next one, but I will try to make it by next month.
Im going to be alone for some days soon at my moms place, so I might even d...
Even if it was hard and frustrating and I had to cheat a little it was actually fun doing this one!
Blender file contains cleaned up finished version.
PS: Hair,glasses and earrings where not done by me.
LMK what you think about this kind of reward, if ur happy with it, or would like to see something else instead!
As u know, things have gone a bit downhill again. I feel like I am making some progress but recent life stuff makes it even hard to catch a breath and be able to relax.
Im "fleeing" my home today to hopefully get a little breather on top of this all.
Im not going to get into a lot of details but Long story short:
Theres constant rockus where I live, Uncle is in jail, and his kids treats it as their summerhouse. So the time i thought id get to relax a little bit actually got wo...
For the first round I'm going to ask you here what character you would want me to do!
Because my short attention span I'm going to pick one out of the suggestions by Friday and then try to do it over the weekend!
If there's a character that has more popularity over the others, I'm automatically going to go with that one!
I'll do a interpretation/practice bust sculpt of whatever the chosen character is. It will most likely not be posed since I'...
Since Im going to focus more on sculpting practice and broadening my skills. I feel more open to do monthly or semi-monthly raffles of a character of your choice!
I've yet to decide on the method, I think will start with doing it so that you guys can suggest what you want me to do. Then i'll pick my favorite after that(If theres no clear winner in popularity)
Other months I might do a pool between selected characters, or ask for characters in my patreon discord and then later ma...
Its a bit hard as always to make these, cause I feel like I complain. But these are meant to update you and keep you in the light of my situation. Cause it impacts the patreon-rewords etc.
Anyways, the short version
I feel like im getting worse again and a little bit more
Discard Poste away, it requires more and more mental effort, and the mental rewards are fewer and further between.
