Lion Yang - RWBYxSonic crossover

So rwbyxsonic is doing a RWBY and Sonic fusion and I love the designs so I am doing the Yang Xiao Long model for funsies. 

Machina Jinja #3

Th Machine Temple is compleeeeeete! 

I also added a Cel Shader, it didn't make a huge difference but its there. 

The symbols mean fire and ancestor spirit respectively. 

Machina Jinja #2

Otherwise known as a Machine Temple, this mecha is for an alt history/urban fantasy-Sci-fi I started writing for NaNoWriMo. I might start posting it here for inspiration.

I spent most fo today painting this and still need to add some minor details, but overall quite pleased with how its coming together! 

Quick aside, AI Art is not and never will be, art.

Machina Jinja #1

Otherwise known as a Machine Temple, this mecha is for an alt history/urban fantasy-Sci-fi I started writing for NaNoWriMo. I might start posting it here for inspiration. 

I had to make some minor alternations to the chest to make the design work in 3D but I tried to stay true to the artists vision as I really like the design. 

This has been a big challenge so far, hence the long update times, almost ever section has had to be remodeled at least thrice before I got it ri...

Submissions for Bumbleby Week 3/7

Day 3: Single Parent AU/ Parenting Bees

Yang knew every regular at her shop and so when an unfamiliar car began rolling in she was quick to pull herself out from under her speedster and hop to her feet. 

She was just in time to see a dark hair Faunus in a smart business suit with a long dark coat and short bob cut stepping out off their car, a redheaded child with matching ears in her arms. 

Tossing the oil rag over her shoulder Yang bounced up to ...

Aqua Finale!

The redesign is done, I am pretty pleased with how this came together. 

I can envision a couple of potential tweaks but overall, very pleased.

I used Mixamo for the poses & animation for efficiencies sake. 

I would have liked to model her weapon (A whip sword) but I ran out of time.

Aqua Remodel #3

Touched up the clothes, the model and I think I picked a color scheme, if I had more time I'd model her whip Sword. Oh yeah she uses a whip sword now. 

Aqua Update!

I think I finally settled on hair and am tinkering with clothing designs. 

Channel Update

Hi all, sorry for the lack of videos this week I was down and out due to being deeply sick. I kept hoping I'd recover and make an episode but I just couldn't, but I am feeling better now and have more free time and so should be back on the ball shortly. 

Also not sure where one of my patrons has gone, it is a shame to see anyone depart, but as the old saying goes, the show must go on. 

Ranma New Half Part 10

I am finishing this today, come hell or high water I am finishing this today! 

Ranma's first memories were of an endless dirt road on a warm summers day. Her weak little body long since exhausted was wrapped in her fathers arms, and he hummed a tune that had burnt itself into her mind. 

For all her life it had just been Ranma and her dad. Friends and foes came and went, but always it was them, the Saotome's against the world. Even when she hated him, even when she banish...

Ranma New Half Part 9

Ranma woke up with the rising of the sun, it was a force of habit but one that always especially manifested when she was nervous. 'Great start to the day, being all clogged up in my chest,' She slapped her cheek and gazed around the room. 

Uchan was still in deep sleep but he was breathing better, Ranma thought with a sigh of relief. She could vaguely hear Kasumi moving about, but Nabiki was clearly still asleep. 

Akane was still sleeping soundly, her books on C...

New Dominion: World Building

Attached to this post are two images stuff with reference images. 

These are my visual reference pool for the answer to a question I got ages ago regarding how the Drakkari would influence the design aesthetic of Lordaeron & other human nations. 

This is tricky cos their design doctrines are so different. Drakkari tend to build up, focussing on massive and extremely sharp megastructure be they temple towns, communal palaces or apartments, with a strong focus on commu...

Aqua Remodel #1

Decided to remodel Aqua with my greater skill and a new hair style and later outfit. 

WB & RT VS Kdin, CRWBY & Decency

Today I am discussing the recent revelations of worker abuse at RT and in the wider corporate world, with special attention to the abuse suffered by Kdin Jenzen.

WB & RT VS Kdin, CRWBY & Decency

No cheery hello again this time, what we're discussing today is deadly seriously and extremely fraught, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't uneasy, but it needs to be said. So I can only hope I do so respectfully and accurately.

I don't think I'd be saying contentious to say that this has been a rough year for both workers and fans of creative industries. 

From Disney's perpetual abuse of the 3D artists and gutting of the Owl House. 

To Warner Discovery ripping awa...

Nemea Finale

I spent ages trying to find someone to rig Nemea but ended up just doing it myself and still quite please with the end result.

While peace has been secured, there is still much to be done and many challenges to overcome.

The Torrents of War: Part 9 – The Emerald Treaty

The Torrents of War: Part 9 – The Emerald Treaty

The mid-Spring Sun shone brightly across the former capital of Lordaeron, a welcome thing for humans, but not so for any Ice Troll or Wolvar due to the unfamiliar heat. Still, the Shamans begged off making a more comfortable climate to focus on the farms, ensuring that Drakkari in the city remained miserably muggy.

Arctikus was more used to the warmer temperatures of the South, but with the signing of th...

Ranma New Half Chapter 8 Drafting:

What had followed Xian Pu's shameful defeat and honorable rescue was... Confusing to the warrior. She knew her Japanese was not totally fluent, but even the natives seemed somewhat confused in their sheer panic. 

Still, while Ranma had raced off, grudgingly followed by the brunette, Akane lingered to explain at least a little. Much was still confusing to Xian Pu, save that apparently Ranma's father, the panda oaf as she called him, had somehow dishonored the blade wielders family.&...

Kdin Avatar #5 (Rigged!)

Whelp she's rigged, I need to figure out how to stop the arms from getting weird when its rigged but otherwise pretty happy. 

Kdin Avatar #4

OK, yeah, painting in shadows is the best idea 'ever'! 

Kdin Avatar #3

Continuing the Kdin model, I have a new guide for simulating fur and some new ideas for painting, plus I finished the hair model.

Kdin's Avatar #1

Hey all, this is my new side project, 3D modelling Kdin's V-Tuber Avatar as she said she doesn't get much fanart, this is how far I got in an afternoon/evening and the reference from the amazing https://www.tumblr.com/pink-wisp! 

Interlude: Negotiations

The Battle of Boralus had gone badly; worse than Malakk had even expected upon his arrival. 

The sudden intervention of Gnomish Submarines had cut off Krag'Jin's escape ensuring his capture, and ensured the Tirasi ships could harass them back North.
Now, only the Loa and Serpahine told him that Krag'Jin lived, along with several other captive vessels but it was a cold comfort. 

Thus, Malakk was meticulous in who he called on for aid, leaving several key advisors engro...

A Retort to The Anime Pervert and the Danger of 'Normalization'

So I just watched The Anime Pervert and the Danger of 'Normalization' and... I didn’t like it and will explain why in a list:

First and foremost I think its somewhat alarmist in general, framing critique of the anime perfect trope as potential cultural imperialism and censorship.

It also present people who engaged in sexual harassment style behavior as presumed curious children which is a rather baseless assertion given what was shared of the article.

It argues that media ...
