And here's a timelapse of that one coming together (I trimmed out the render time and laid the final render on top because an hour of watching digital paint dry isn't so exciting) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBNqZTouxYQ

This week's #Blendsday prompt is guitar. I made this rad keytar

For the midweek #Blendsday session, I ignored the prompt and made a little dolphin friend

This week's #Blendsday prompt is "crab." I made this friend

For the midweek #Blendsday session, I made a start on three seashells, but didn't end up finishing it off

Here's how the animation came out - not quite as bad as it was looking from the viewport preview, but still a lot of hair clipping through the body geometry

For the midweek session, I revisited this spaceship that never really came together during a previous #Blendsday session last year. Still don't think it's quite there, but it was fun to think about detailing https://mastodon.social/@Cheeseness/109967918582588344

This week's #Blendsday prompt is "blade." I made this shiny sword

For the midweek #Blendsday session, I made a different kind of blade (and a little friend to live on it_, inspired by a piece of card art I made for one of my Hand of Fate 2 mods years ago

This week's #Blendsday prompt was igloo again. For the midweek session, I made this little low poly scene and then animated it too fast

This week's #Blendsday prompt is "cork." For the midweek session, I decided to poke around with my little icy scene from last week a bit more. Added more ocean tile variants, a little campfire, made the narwhal bob up and down, and re-centred the camera

This week's #Blendsday activity was "increasing interval studies" where we make a thing multiple times, taking more time with each iteration. I made this egret. Couldn't get much done in 30 seconds, but it fun interesting to try!

And here's a timelapse of today's session https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLGVR4-wLU8

For the midweek #Blendsday session, I made some trees (30 seconds, 1 minute, 10 minutes, and 20 minutes)

This week's #Blendsday prompt is "horsey." I made this horsey.

For the midweek #Blendsday session, I made this sea horsey.

This week's #Blendsday prompt is planet. I made these little low poly planets from icospheres

I had initially wanted to make the planets sized to scale and have to (a different) scale distances too, but I couldn't find a good balance of the two scales that allowed Uranus to be in frame and the sun to not eat Mercury. The solar system is a very big, very empty place.

For the midweek #Blendsday session, I went back to my model from the weekend and created an animation that illustrates how far away Neptune is from the rest of the planets. I couldn't come up with a nice way to get a driver to control text content, so I made some tumblers and did a modular division of my scale multiplier to set their rotations.

This week's #Blendsday prompt is "board." I made this pool scene with a diving board

For the midweek session, I modelled roundbord (a femle blackbird who visits my yard)

This week's #Blendsday activity is "three moods" where we're invited to create a simple scene with primitives, and then use techniques other than modelling to try and express three different moods from the same scene. I made a little snowglobe and tried to use different camera framing to give different senses of "intimacy."

For the midweek #Blendsday session, I made a quick city

This week's #Blendsday prompt is "frog." I made this little cubefrog
