Didn't have a lot of energy for the midweek #Blendsday session, so I took my "camera" out to explore the scene I made on the weekend
This week's #Blendsday prompt is "Orb." I made a start on a dyson sphere
This week's #Blendsday activity is "Iterate" where we're invited to start with someone else's CC licenced model and modify/kitbash it into something. I took the two space ships on the right from @kenney's Space Kit, separated them into their constituent pieces, and assembled a new ship https://kenney.nl/assets/space-kit

For the midweek #Blendsday session, I added a couple other bits and pieces to my space scene
This week's #Blendsday prompt is "anemone," so I made this anemone, spired by the snakelocks anemones used in this study https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.11.02.565328
For the midweek #Blendsday session, I went off-prompt and made Charlie and Snake from We Bare Bears
This week's #Blendsday activity is "opposite." The random prompt generator gave me "grain," so I made this cupcake, which lives at the opposite end of the food pyramid from grains

A timelapse of 3 hours' worth of noodling around for Blendsday. This week's activity was "Chair."Music is "Nothing in Particular" by me.https://blendsday.art

For the midweek #Blendsday session, I ignored the prompt and made this VT100-ish thing while exploring the ins and outs of Blender with @MrNuclearMonster
This week's #Blendsday prompt is "bee." I'm still poking around with my #7DFPS game, so I made some props, including a bee toy. The plan is to eventually allow players to pick these up, and mechanically, they'll act as additional gestures when held that NPCs can respond to
And here's a timelapse of that stuff. I don't imagine anybody watches these, but if you do, I hope you enjoy the brief joke about 1/4 of the way in as much as I did

This week's #Blendsday activity is "You," where we are invited to make something that reflects ourselves or some aspect of our identity. I re-created an encounter I recently had with my baby magpie friend, and included two models I'd made as part of previous from previous Blendsday sessions

For the midweek #Blendsday session, I re-created a scene from the Amiga port of the Star Wars arcade game from the 80s (with a couple of liberties). Would have liked to have gotten the X-Wing in there too, but I had a migraine coming on, so it was slow going
This past week's #Blendsday activity was "quick swap." Since I don't like to make/share stuff on Invasion Day and we didn't have enough people for the group activity to work, so I added an X-Wing to my previous mid-week piece
This week's #Blendsday prompt is "grave." I made this grave

Here's a closer look at my quick and dirty cockatoo animation
This week's #Blendsday prompt is "glasses." I made this little crocoguy

For the midweek #Blendsday session, I came back to tackle what I didn't have the fortitude for on the weekend - a tribute to Mr Squishy, my oldest and smelliest friend, who passed away 9 years and one month ago. I have missed him every day since
This week's #Blendsday prompt is "weight." I made this pangolin soldier reflecting on some apparent cost

Decided to go off-prompt for the midweek #Blendsday session and make this sea friend
This week's #Blendsday activity is "Combine," where we're invited to work with a bunch of prompts at once - the prompt generator gave me "obsidian," "hollow," "bird," and "mail." The satchel and bubble wrap came out pretty average, and I probably could've lit it better to communicate that the interior of the broken statue is hollow, but I'm pretty happy in general

Decided to come back to my #Blendsday piece from the weekend and try to make things read a bit better. The camera is animated now, which allows the shape of the bird statues to be more readable, and I coloured the interior of the broken statue to make it more clear that it's hollow. I also
replaced the crappy post satchel with a little crate off to the side. Still not perfect, but it's a long way beyond what I had on the weekend. I would've posted this yesterday, but it took 12 hours to render.
For the midweek #Blendsday session, the prompt generator gave me "egg," "star," "drum," and "painting."
This week's #Blendsday prompt is "Statue." I made this Kurlan naiskos (possibly third dynasty)

@Cheeseness All's wall that ends wall.
@Cheeseness since this may be convergent evolution, are you familiar with the comics at https://old.reddit.com/user/FieldExplores/ ? Very cute, sometimes emotional.
@Cheeseness also I should've said I REALLY LIKE YOUR GATOR GUY. I just got initially caught in "oo this reminds me of other thing I like"

@ChateauErin Thanks for your kind words ^_^

I don't believe I've come across that comic before! I'll leave a tab open and check it out :)

@Cheeseness I'm getting strong pterosaur vibes (:
@Cheeseness oh i love this. Always a sucker for rivers in general
@deadlinux The yacht is loosely based on the Adams 35 my Dad lives on. Sailed up and down the Tamar a few times over the years ^_^
