project juggler and robot appreciator

Intro post

Who is this:

hi, I'm new (kind of). rodent or bogus are both fine for names. any pronouns are fine. I like robots and anthros and I make little stories on the computer that other people can play around with some day. I have a backlog of art I haven't posted that I will gradually be putting here before getting to current stuff

What I use to make stuff:

Aseprite, CSP and Blender mostly, but I experiment with new stuff all the time. As far as dev, right now I'm working with Godot for one project and Twine for another but I've dabbled in many other engines

Why I'm using a mouse instead of a tablet:

arthritis in my hands because I spent too much of my life drawing the normal way with joint issues, so now I have to draw this way instead. It's really not that bad with a vertical mouse

Why you might have me blocked and not remember why:

I had this blog blank for a few years because I was being a wimp about posting to it, but I was still following people and liking posts, so you might've thought I was a spam bot or something

Why I'm kind of nowhere:

social media is scary and overwhelming, so I've just been showing art and WIP projects to a handful of friends over Discord or Signal for many years now. I decided to start posting publicly again in 2025. I'm also on bluesky though

Why my handle is rodent but my icon is an aye-aye:

no context tiny snippets of WIPs, still frames only. just to prove I am doing stuff (constantly), but I have a lot of irons in the fire with all the writing and coding and full-time-job-having so each individual thing is slow

anyway, when I started this blog I meant to post here every week or two. so here is a post. it will self-destruct once I have something better to post here. (meaning I will delete this.) ok time to get back to my 12+ hours of screentime byeee be good

Remember today's lesson: whining alone solves nothing but whining en masse can solve a great deal

before springs was a rad space outlaw, they were this dorky little domestic bot. here they are having a normal one dealing with their administrator's kids

[thoughtfulrobot]

I love sentient machines! I love droids! I love drones! I love mechs! I love digitized consciousnesses that used to be human! I love AIs that were never human but developed their own wills and maybe even feelings! I love fictional robots as a vehicle for exploring what it means to be alive and real and an individual!
