May I introduce you to Lamordan! Heās a court mage. A diplomat in title, but a scientist at heart. He lives a comfortable life in service to his small kingdom, making advances that better the lives of its citizens. (Heās particularly proud of the magic lamps that light the streets each night.) Heās a gentle and patient man, happiest in the lab with the company of his familiar Cyamu.
If youāve been following me on other socials, youāve probably seen him already. Iām learning Blender and Lamordan is my muse. I designed Lamordan last year following some design prompts from my partner. It was supposed to be a quick study, but boy am I attached. Thereās a lot more Iād like to flesh out about his character, so I hope you donāt get tired of him! š How has everybody been? I know Iāve been away for a while. I messed up big time and injured my drawing arm. Iāll spare you the details. It was a bad time but I learned important lessons and honestly, I feel better than ever. I was forced to slow down and change gears. The projects I was working on have been shelved, itās just all too strenuous at the minute. But that all allowed me to reasses. I learned about pixel art and 3D modelling, I learned about making games. It was honestly a little magical how Iāve been getting excited about art making again. Slowing down has allowed me to reconnect with my art and work on things that are much more meaningful. Iām also feeling much better in my own body. Part of recovery was a lot of mindfulness about how Iām treating this flesh vessel. And honestlyā¦ As much as I hated it at first (and boy did I hate it), the exercise feels good. But yeah, thatās whatās been up with me! I still have to be really careful and mindful of said arm. Iāve had a few tiny relapses where I just wasnāt self-aware enough to recognize strain. But all that being said, Iām excited! Expectā¦ different, I guess? Iām really enoying playing in 3D space and my mind is just bursting with ideas for how I can incorporate that into my art. Oh! and Iāve got some more old art Iāve been sitting on too, so Iāll drop them here as I get to it. Iām off to end the day with an ice pack and a long rest. See you all around!
