Hi! I'm a (mostly 3D) visual artist who loves words! Often too many words for short form content platforms. Let's see what we can make of this!

✅ Get back up to speed on the game project
🔲 Don't think about the job applications

Aw shoot.
Still, shoutout to lead dev @outfrost for assuring me my git bashing choices wouldn't break anything. I obtained both updated files and skills!

I wrote this #comic while frustrated about my lack of movement on a few things, but got to draw it this week on stream while elated to be still again (at least physically) after a month of travel.

Fall on Hard Times & Crush Them

I gotchu, long shutter cameras. I jotted down this comic script while frustrated with my own exhaustion and perceived stagnation, but was fortunate to actually draw it from a more positive perspective...

On stream this month, I've been having fun designing this #dragon #toy, the winner across platforms of the vote for "what wood dragon object to make for the lunar new year." We're almost done with the #modeling and probably halfway through #rigging (haven't touched the tail or figured out the automated wheel rolling), and I'm excited to get to that carved wood texturing practice that started this.

Watts, a #dragon #character I made in 2021, is finally released in as much completion as he's getting for now. #Sketchfab here (link to an in-depth #blog post about him in the description there):

Watts the Lightbulb-Hoarding Dragon - 3D model by cjgladback

Watts is an original character I made in early 2021, baby of a species of dragons designed around the idea of hoarding lightbulbs and taking inspiration from ten creatures with varying levels of connection to electricity, light, and gentle touch. You can read a long blog post explaining this project here: https://cjgladback.com/post/740072482002862082 - Watts the Lightbulb-Hoarding Dragon - 3D model by cjgladback

Feels bad I couldn’t draw much of my girl this year, so I treated myself today.

I got my first full-size #process video up on #YouTube! And it's the #dinosaurs that I thought I was almost done with this time last year! But I'm actually done now! Exclamation points!

Ephemeral rigging is a dream for animators but a nightmare for sailors.
Riggers are asleep, post topologically asymmetrical models.
