Short videos are insanely popular right now, especially among Gen Z. But honestly—what can you actually learn in 1 minute? (YouTube has even extended that to 3 minutes.) At best, they give you a fleeting “that felt nice” kind of vibe, but they don’t really teach you any...

2025-09-14 07:59:28 +0000 UTC View PostI had been wondering for a while why Kafka’s video was choppy with a low frame rate…
So, I re-exported it.
The reason for this was that after updating DaVinci, the editing timeline got a bit messed up.
If you were curious, please compare them. It should now play much more smoothly!

I just remembered that I haven’t really used the Ko-fi platform much yet.
Maybe Ko-fi might suit me better than Patreon, so if I can keep updating my content there without any issues, I’m thinking of moving over.
Patreon is a great platform, but I often find it inflexible and somewhat uncooperative when it comes to handling problems, which makes it a b...
2025-09-14 05:52:24 +0000 UTC View PostIt’s been a little while since the last update, but I’ve been making quiet progress.
Isn’t it kind of hard just to make a gun? Anyway, here’s how far I’ve gotten so far.
Since I received a question on Patreon, I thought I’d write about liquid masking.
There are already many articles comparing different masking liquids or describing actual usage. I think many people already know about the basic types—rubber-based and vinyl-based—and their properties. So the real question is, how should you actually use them differently? That’s what people want to kno...
2025-09-06 03:47:07 +0000 UTC View PostThe other day, I asked a question like this in my YouTube community, and I got quite a few comments.
The types of people who replied could generally be grouped like this:
People who are interested but haven’t taken the plunge yet (questions were more abstract)
People who are clearly already doing it (questions were very specific)

This is purely a practice blog, so it might only be interesting to people who are curious or at about the same beginner level as me.
I’m planning to keep writing these as a way to make notes for myself and help the lessons stick.
I’m still practicing modeling while rewatching Takatori-san’s course videos.

I made a small change to my work desk setup, so I’d like to introduce it.
I’m literally in the middle of working right now, but the sanding work just never seems to end. My routine was temporarily disrupted, but I managed to get back on track in about three days, so I’ve been continuing as usual.
Since my workspace is still cramped and difficult to use, I regularly clean, tidy up, a...
2025-08-21 07:04:36 +0000 UTC View PostThe days when a painter only painted are long gone.
Now, painters also dabble in sculpting, and conversely, sculptors often paint as well.
If you only do one part of the process without understanding the full workflow, your work risks becoming self-indulgent. But often, there’s no one around to teach you sculpting. You might find specific tutorials on YouTube, but rarely will you find videos that cover the entire process.
That’s exactly why I became convinced th...

Since around June, I’ve been trying to spend as little time as possible on social media, and honestly—it’s been better than I imagined.
This isn’t exactly about model building, but I feel like it’s pretty important for anyone who needs to work with deep concentration, so I’ll just share my scattered thoughts.

In my previous post, I talked about how important key colors (main colors) are. Since then, I’ve realized something:
I often rely more on intuition and experience than theory when working.
Sure, there's merit in thinking "As long as the result looks good, who cares how it got there?" But it becomes hard to explain to others exactly how to get there.

This is a continuation of the previous article on creating the Smirking Professor.
This time, the focus is mainly on painting.
Thoughts on costume coloring
The approach to eye painting (why it's important to do it quickly instead of overthinking)
Thoughts and examples on packaging methods
It might be a good idea to use this as a reference when checking the fit during dry fit.

2025-07-23 23:39:37 +0000 UTC View PostIn my previous post, I looked at YouTube data to explore the reasons behind the drop in views and shared some thoughts on possible countermeasures.
Here, I'd like to dive further into testing—specifically thumbnail testing.
To start, I revisited the core appeal of creative work.
In short, when we fully immerse ourselves in making things, we experience a strong sense of fulfillment—our quality of life skyrockets!
At first, I thought I could save some time right from the start, but in the end, it took about the same amount of time to complete as the previous Bunny Toki I made. Well, that’s just how it goes sometimes.

Isn’t the rainy season ending way too early? It feels like ridiculous heat waves keep coming one after another. But even so, I’ve restarted jogging—not just for strength training, but to lose weight.

Maybe my painted work is not unique enough.
I often get into this feeling myself. I often feel that if someone else painted it, it could have been more like this, or I could have done something creative with it, or I realize afterwards that a PVC piece uses a gradient like this... I often feel this way.
There is nothing strange about that. It is normal for the output of a work to be different from others because it ...
