Was reminded I once made a little animation based on some medieval art of a cat churning butter, and then Plastic Love came one while I was looking at it.

What's not really shown in the above render is the extra work I put in around the hips and shoulders. I wanted to improve the range of motion around these joints since that's something I've struggled with in previous models (i.e. hitting deformation weirdness once the leg moves past a certain angle)

Low poly Simi (featuring Nadine) :> #artfight revenge on @caitysecret.bsky.social who reminded me Simi and Nadine are a bonded pair, do not separate. 594 triangles, single 128px square texture (plenty of leftover space for alternative faces, maybe a second outfit). #artfight2025

Also, without the turntable to showcase this little idle better.

And also the render of just Simi, who I was posing to kinda mirror Nadine. Then I slid Nadine over thinking I might do a silly slide in animation reveal. Turns out their hands were already perfectly positioned for hand holding.

Low poly Topaz :> #artfight friendly fire for @sketchytodd.bsky.social. Topaz is cute as heck and her colors are pretty much instant joy. Original "sketch" came in 150+ triangles over budget, but managed to get her down to my 600 cap. Really proud of the texture work on this one. #artfight2025

Rat I made in October. 28 tris, vertex colors only.

Turntable

Alternative pose with turnaround. Really happy with the range of motion I could get without the skirt deformation getting garbled. (I need to stop doing recolors in textures and instead set that up in materials - I'm one 4x4 texture away from fitting everything into 64x32, i.e. the choker recolor.)

Low poly Fleur :> #artfight attack for @carminaart.bsky.social. Her stained glass pieces rule, so I had the idea to try something like the stained glass knights from Castlevania 64. Turns out that's, uh, difficult to texture well. 288 tris, textures fit into 48px square area. #artfight25

Happiness isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s the deep breath, the quiet moment, the small win you almost miss. You don’t need a perfect life, just the awareness to notice what already brings you peace. That’s where healing begins 💙✨ #mattsfoundation #mentalhealth #healing

Local elections should be about local government. Some parties what to distract you from what actually matters: who will do the work. Lib Dems win more councillors every year, win more by-elections, and defend more seats - because we actually deliver for people. #votelibdem
