Lidia Scene I

A new dollfie project! I've just started pre-work on a new CG Scene. It's going to be FFXIV themed. haven't fully decided on what background I'll be doing but it'll be an interior lighting test, and something that fits Lidia.
Hoping to get a chance to work on this more over the next few days. might do a 2 - 3 series of renders just for fun. Hate matting though, so I might only do just 2 for now to experiment with.  Been a while since I've done a full run on. We'll see where it goes!

Marianda II

Finished! Sort of.... I might polish a few areas. Or not. I had planned to paint this, but then I remembered I tossed all my paints a while back to prevent me from doing such again. Glad I still did. :P Over all this was a pretty fun project though! My concept for Marianda is now complete, some day I hope to make a dollfie version of her. She uses a pretty big shield and mace/hammer type weapon.

Marianda I

Cringe, I wound up with a bit of free time, not wanting to really do anything but veg' out I found myself sketching for the first time in years... On 'paper' *gasp*
If I ever manage to finish this I'll be posting the results. My art styles is kinda weird, but it is, what it is.

Subaru Legacy 2.5i SE- 2007 Air Cleaner and Element Air Duct

Finished up some schematics that I digitally restored based off of the Subaru parts site for my friends Subaru Legacy. He was quiet impressed at the quality the .pdf version displays on his tablet.
This was a pretty relaxing and stress free project, though it got a bit repetitive, but fun.

Schematic Diagrams

Was flipping through my service manual today looking for torque specs, being told to "see Table 3" but no listing of what page it was on. Flipping through more pages I finally discovered the Table 3, now back to the original page... "What a hassle!" I thought... then a nerd light bulb went off in my head today. "Let's make a page with a diagram that has all the information on that one single user friendly page!"
I went a bit over board. But stuff like this will totally save me loads of time when servicing Rose. I found an old schematic off the internet and I wound up restoring in in vector so I can get a nice print using Illustrator.
Looks like this might actually be my current project! I hope to make a few pages of similar parts I plan to service periodically.

My friend liked this idea quiet a bit. I might wind up doing some diagrams for his Subaru as long as it continues to be fun for me.

Video Fun Day

Tinkering around with post image stabilization today with some of my videos. Pretty interesting stuff.  Sadly it does create a bit of a crop in the process, but it did a great job at eliminating my original shaky pan. I'll be playing around with this some more when I get some time.

Project Ideas

Been so busy lately once again, haven't had much time to work on anything. I've been collecting a few ideas though.
-Starting that Jacket I never finished for Hrist.
-Marianda's Coat and Shirt.
-A New Photo Story. (I really need to do another chapter...)
-Some random armor or weapon.

I'm leaning toward the jacket at the moment however. I hate unfinished things. :P
Hoping February will be more productive.


Still attempting to sell some of my older projects on Etsy! Help fund Hrist's new projects! :P
