I love going on walks. The way the late afternoon sun drapes down the façades here in Hove has me fascinated every time. It reminds me to take a moment to look around and truly take in the sounds of the city and the sea around me 🌿☀️

GEO LAB! Finally got the shoebox view down in all its glory!

This was a special one for me because I forced myself to draw freely without thinking of any perspective.

It really helped me to push my shapes, and with every iteration they became more playful. Once that was done, I then got my beloved grids in and perspective'd it to my heart's content!

Can't wait to draw more character stuff now (yes you read that right, I'm just as surprised as you are!) by @noronhatastic

Close up shots of the bike model from my previous post! :D All done using @blender.official and Clip Studio Paint.

It was so fun to do all the texture detail stuff! I am very painterly in my 2D work, so it was a blast to incorporate it into the mapping of it all!

PS: I am sorry to all the 3D Artists that have to work from my concepts, you deserve a raise 🤣 by @noronhatastic

This is the flying, crystal-powered survey bike from my personal project, Clouded Judgement!

It's a vehicle built for mobility and research, not speed so that it can explore the inhospitable terrain that the volcanos present!

My goodness I've been working on this for months! Blender is so fun :) I'll be posting more bits soon but for now enjoy this snippet! by @noronhatastic

Every couple of days my partner does a frantic run right before bed to set up the washing machine timer for the next morning. Can't miss out on those precious daylight hours! I always say that she reminds me of those racoons that wash their food on water streams! This one is for you @seddidiot ! 🦝👕 by @noronhatastic
