when the sandwing in your winglet says something so rainbow you gotta hit em with that first circle stare

Finished Winter Turning in my 'reread WoF at an acceptable pace' journey. Lemme tell you reading fanfiction has really evolved(?)/ruined the original concept of him as a character.

His original story revolves around this process of tearing down the ideas that were carved into you by the people that were around you when you really didn't have a choice who was around you.

And it's this process that god knows I had to drag myself through. I've learned and am still learning to be a lot kinder to myself and the people around me.

It really breaks my heart to see him not being fast enough in this journey to change himself to allow him to get the happy ending he so desperately (in my opinion) deserves, and I don't know what this says about myself and my own journey.

Anyway writing this down because it's something I want to remember.

Do you have any 3d modeling tips or tutorial recommendations? I find your stuff super impressive! Not that I don't adore all the more Joy Ang-styled models, but I also rly like how ur models are still in your own style. Super cool!!

I've been thinking about this one a lot because I've been using Blender for so long I literally cannot imagine not knowing how it works lmao.

Ummmmm YouTube is your friend. Tutorials to literally last you a lifetime. To give you some keywords to research my modeling style is hard surface / subdivision modeling and then i sculpt with multiresolution, this is hard to start out on tho because you're basically combining every step you would take one by one if you go the sculpting / manual retopology way. Sculpting on top of that being infinitely more intuitive. But I fucking despise retopo so I usually never go that route. Royal Skies has good rigging tutorials with a little bit more advanced subject matter but he also makes a lot of clickbait slop so just navigate to his tutorial playlists. Watching speed models is also a really good resource if you're a visual learner. Ducky3D seems at first like slop as but you pick up some neat tricks that will deepen your understanding of certain concepts inside Blender. Exactly the same goes for Polyfjord but maybe less slop.

For general advice it's really easy to get very overwhelmed fast so you should try to view / break a big project like a character model down into smaller projects like making the model, texturing it, rigging it and eventually making an animation with it. Set clear, achievable goals for yourself or you'll never finish anything.

A lot of this is also just determination. There will be a lot of times where it'll feel like bashing your head into a wall and anything in 3D takes a shit ton of time to get to look nice. Worst part is that it'll probably look like ass until it's done. If you ever feel stuck just walk away from it and watch more tutorials.

I missed Grease Live, but thanks to @thatsthat24's snap story, I got the gist of it! Thanks Thomas Sanders for the narration, it made it worth the bits and pieces I missed. You're the real MVP.
