Funny blender stuff

wowie been so long since i last did a log or something in blender lol

i guess I had taken a break from any major blender projects. I had other hobbies i wanted to focus on so I kind of set that aside for the time.

Lately I've been back to working on some projects. I'm still working on Dawn and Psyche but I have Kepler in the works now!

this is my older model and aaaah the nostalgia ^^

My newer version of Kepler looks verrry different, like for example they just hit a growth spurt and have some sweet high-tech gadgets LOL

They also don't have that side eyelash anymore. Long story short back in 2021 kepler used to be genderfluid but isnt anymore. the eyelash was my way of indicating it but i never used it so. it doesnt do much

also they've got their sweet sweet FOV as a pupil now how cool is that

adding some facial features now

(i also made Dawn's bus color a little bit lighter since i had trouble with lighting because it was so dark and has no specular reflection)

short californium loop

the timing is a little different than i did with arizonac, so as much as i want to sync them up it might take me a little editing lol

just realized i never posted this

Funny silly SSOA stuff

So when we were coming home I bought some arts and crafts on the way...and a little bit of context I've been into The Scrambled States of America as a new interest

I'm not stopping all of my astronomy-related stuff ! Usually when I find a new interest, it's a really intense hyperfocus so I may not be as focus on spacecraft n stuff as I usually would be. The same thing happened with constellations it's just states so it feels super different hehe

Anyways, when I got home and later that day I started getting to work and making use of those supplies i bought, and the result:

Meet California !!! Spent over 7 hours working on him non-stop with the power of my dark magic /lh

*He doesn't wear glasses but does wear sunglasses sometimes, I just didn't find any so I used my own LOL

him with the gang:

This is California, Rhode Island, and Arizona !!! I have to prop them up with cut foam pieces because they're so blubby shaped LOL. Arizona was the first I made, then after her I used some extra foam to make Rhode Island (he's freakishly strong for his size !!!)

a very snazzy state, I will say

he wore a lil top hat in the talent show book hehe

Some oc stuff bc why not lol

been making SSOA OCs in my freetime hehe...they're usually based on astronomy but i like including science/wildlife that the state may be recognized for

I've only properly named two so far, Californium and Arizonac, but I'll talk a little more about Arizonac since he was the first I made

As much as the Pomni I've made him out to be he's not like that 24/7, but he's very secluded and prefers to be alone (or with a few close friends)

He's a very skillful and dedicated astronomer, and that's because I've read a lot of notable astronomy-related things about Arizona (ex. its various dark sites, lots of telescopes, Flagstaff's Lowell observatory) and being an Arizonan im proud of that hehe

So with that, he's actually nocturnal and so he's very sensitive to light and sound (and touch). That's also a reason why he prefers to be alone other than his introverted personality because daytime noises and light are discomforting. The little red dots around his eyes help him kind of see in the dark (as with red light when you're stargazing, it helps preserve your dark adapted eyes)

Californium I haven't done much about him other than make him like this futuristic robot-type guy who's just in love with space exploration (because of the JPL, Caltech, Silicon Valley, DSN at Goldstone, the Vandenburg launches, all that jazz) but also other science topics and wildlife because I heard California's quite diverse in that.

"Well if you were as bright as the stars in your belt, you wouldn't be in this mess!"

Silly sketches #001

euclid pog

Dawn my beloved

Ceres looking a little like the moon because i have to work within a simple style and in this case would be a little tricky to show texture

still a heck ton to do, she might be fit for rendering (well, viewport renders because the workspace is an absolute mess), but i still have to make sure her thrusters and extra things for expressions (ex the hands) are rigged properly and no major bugs appear
