Yttreia

I'm back.

It was nice, though I misplaced a couple things while I was there.

Ate good food, saw a lot of neat stuff, etc., etc.

Stuff

Yeah, leaving IRL for a week, starting the 14th, if I haven't advertised that enough. There's a chance I might type up a mini-story or two while I'm gone, but really, don't expect anything in 3D, u...

Still got a week until my cross-country trip, so here's a poll:

So a lot of people do their character bio pics with the character standing in the m...

FFS, incompatible somewhere

 TLDR: I'm back to my old computer, effectively. Ol' reliable. Mi amigo. Readjusting the budget after returns. 

Heck with it, I spent the last week trying to figure out what's going...

Kinda grumpy

In a weird twist, the computer's having some issues I'm still ironing out, but none of my rendering-related stuff is affected. At least if I have to reinstall Windows agai...

Reinstalling my OS

(UPDATE: all good in the hood, yo. Just gotta reinstall a few things.)

I'm going to quadruple-check that all my important stuff is backed up to my external hard drive, then wipe everything an...

All built, starting the break-in period.

Messy messy messy. Windows REALLY doesn't like it when the entire computer around it suddenly changes. In this case, crashing, rebooting, slow painful pain.

I'm going through and cleaning out...

Parts status update:

I'll update this as the stuff gets here.

Dec 30, PSU and RAM: arrived, looks good, caught it just after it was delivered, too. The box that the parts were packaged in was din...

Aaand purchased.

Total cost is a little over $500, I'll tally up the exact numbers sometime soon and adjust the budget to compensate.
It took a bit of narrowing down on a couple parts, since apparently there are...

Recap:

Starting with the poll results:
I'm going to use the next couple days to double check sales, then buy all but the most expensive part (the GPU) and I should have the whole thing built before my ...

Computer build, maybe?

EDIT: To clarify, both choices will end with roughly the same computer in the long run.

(Decided to run a little poll to decide a short term plan on the eventual new build, since I've been it...

Pretty obvious xmas update:

It's tradition at my grandparents' house (the grandparents I caretake for) to host an elaborate breakfast on Christmas day and I like to cook. We run some stuff on Christmas eve, too, but the last ...

Had another thought:

It's pretty common to find good deals on prebuilt computers that have a lot of good parts in them, but a bad/cheap videocard, sold for "office" use. If I see a good enough one of those, it's pretty...

Reposting a poll

The short story is that there was an interest on Twitter in the possibil...

Thoughts

So I was thinking, my entire computer is almost ten years old, minus some newer parts here and there (thanks guys!), but I kind of have to wonder if it might be more worth it to nab one of those re...

Another nickname poll! (COMPLETE)

Her new name is "Miira".

The Strawpoll was stuck in a tie, so I ran a smaller poll on Twitter, and by the time I woke up, both the Twitter poll and the Strawpoll poll were showing a Miira lea...

A quick summary:

I posted the full journal on both dA and FA, but here's the short version:

1. Future animations on both sites will be uploaded as images, or little GIF snippets, with links to the full animat...

The future of Flash animations

dA's screwing Flash before they actually add an alternative that doesn't require Co...

Update:

First, it looks like Payya's staying.

Second, IDK, I thought I caught the flu for a bit, maybe it was just bad food, IDK.

I keep wanting to model a pump-y strapon dildo, but I'm not too...

Hybrid removal poll?

Time for an odd poll: should I get rid of the Pikachu hybrid, Payya? Some  people don't like how she treats the others, and some people think I  have too many hybrids as-is, so I figure t...

Little updates

1. Got a drawing tablet for cheap. It's neat, but I'll need some practice with it, for sure. If I get good with it, it should let me doodle more textures by hand. It cost $31-ish, so I'll dock the ...

Black Friday update

Doesn't look like I'll be buying any major parts this year, so the budget's staying where it's at.
Still looking at drawing tablets in the $20-30 price range, though. Thanks to the configuration...

Link to the MEGA

https://mega.nz/#F!GDAThapR!Cfo5Czicfs3oszSIVxRdgg

It's the old link again, but I'm just pushing it further up the list so it's easier...

Black Friday

I'm going to be eyeing the BF sales, just in case I see anything that really sticks out.

I've been kinda considering one of those cheap $20-$30 drawing tablets to help with drawing textures, ...

Pear Opossum needs a (nick)name! (DONE)

Poll complete!

Her new name is "Onney"

Poll complete, and a progress report:

The Patron poll is complete and the sauna was the winner!

Patreon's being a butt and wont let me upload pictures for some reason, so just check out my Twitter for examples of me fiddling with...

Pick a setting/location/room

What location should I make next?

Also, think more about how the place looks, rather than what it actually IS.
Like, picking cafeteria doesn't always mean food stuffing, the sauna doesn't ...

Miltank won

I set a deadline for the end of the poll, and the Miltank won (by a tiny margin). I wish the Zorua had won, but it's no biggie.

I'm still working on some other projects, so it'll be a sec bef...

Who to bring back?

I was sorting through my old folders and found I still have most of the old character models. Who should I bring back?

(Also I figure we're already neck-deep in Pokemon, I've got a fat Purugl...
