LOBBY

THE WEEZERS:

project date: November? 2021
A lineup of the weezers, a series of various shaped humanoid plushies that have star-shaped heads with various tassles on the points. A continued lineup

i originally made these guys for my partner greg as a christmas prsent :0) they subsequently got featured on the tumblr radar and became probably my most popular creation at the time, which was scary. now they're my site's mascot! yay!

the weezers are not benevolent or kind creatures. they are more like a mixture between pikmin and lice than anything. they will infest anything you have and they'll eat anything like the nematodes did to sponchbob's house. some of them also had dog toy squeakers in them, which achieved the intended affect of scaring greg in the middle of the night when he rolls over on them. the shiny ones also shed these sharp plastic particles, which was not intentional but in character.

Three weezers that are tall and multicolored with a marble pattern

Four weezers that have red and orange zig zags

Two weezers that are shiny yellow with pink stripes

MORDIN (the plushie):

project date: Summer 2022
A transparent collage of different angles of Mordin, a yellow anteater plushie wearing a sweatervest, lab coat, and glasses. He is holding a small black ball with a blue eye, which looks slightly grumpy.

mordin is greg's oc who i love very much. this was a birthday present :0)

3d modelled, hand-sewn with hand-dyed fur and custom clothing! He is extremely ergonomic and lovely to hold, coming in at a whopping 40 cm long. His hands have magnets in them so he can hold his lovely wife (octavia), but unfortunately it didn't work out as good as i had hoped. that's alright, because they still love each other :0)

VELVET & WEEVIL V1:

project date: May 2023

velvet (pink) and weevil (blue) are self inserts me and greg made and then i decided i would go mad with power and make partial fursuits of. the fur was all hand dyed using a mix of alcohol, fabric softener, and alcohol ink and the heads were 3d printed and painted with uv reactive paint.

most of the work was done in two consecutive all-nighters since our goal was to get it done to go to momocon with, but we only finished at like 2pm that sunday so we got to the con with like 2 hours to walk around LMAO. we're proud of all our work and had fun but this project also birthed what we call "the quitter's pact"

VELVET & WEEVIL V2:

project date: March 2024 - Ongoing

A blacklight mirror selfie of the weevil, showing a flourescent biohazard sign on the head A heavil edited mirror selfie of the weevil, edited to introduce bright green, magenta, and ultramarine goo patterns. A side image of the weevil head, showing off the blue and black fur patterning along the next, blue star embroidery, and green spikes along the back. A top 3/4 image of the weevil head, showing the patterning, biohazard sign, sequins, stickers, and glitter. It is colored in various shades of black, blue, and green.

i'm currently in the process of reworking the partials to add additional detail and polish. weevil has been furthest along, mainly because me and greg haven't been in person long enough for me to take good measurements. but also because i finished some more rework on it to have it ready for a local cosplay contest, which weevil won 4-day momo passes at! full circle, huh.

weevil's head is done though (resurfaced w drywall filler (bad choice) and repainted), and i finished a pair of custom pants. next are plans to customize the jacket more (which was thrifted + hand-dyed also!), make proper armor/chitin plating for the arms, add a tail and tiny wings, and possibly add fibre optics to the mane. this is an ongoing project.

velvet needs more done. her fur has been touched up and her snout repainted. i still need to put on her eyelashes, but i redid her eyes (as cool as the 1 way mirror compact eyes idea was, it was impossible to see out of).

i want to redo the fur on these SO BAD because i totally didn't realize how impossible it is to dye long-pile fur, the way they are now the dye rubs off on everything. however i think i am , as they say "in too deep" and i don't know whether i should redo it or not at this point. if i make the torsos though, i will at the very least buy new stuff and color match what i have.

CG V1:

project date: Feburary-April 2020

The reference image for this fursona. It is a green lizard thing with blue hair, wearing a colorblock shirt and a long skirt. It has antennae and a gecko-like tail.
AHHH THE BEGINNING OF MY DECENT INTO MADNESS...

"cg" is my primary fursona and the first one i ever made basically. i had found out about "vtubing" (THIS WAS BEFORE IT WAS A WELL-KNOWN THING I PROMISE I WAS HERE BEFORE IT WAS "COOL") and really wanted my own model for transgender and furry reasons (basically the same thing). but also i was very fed up with all the same faced big boobed anime girls and wanted to make something unique. most importantly, i had no idea how to use blender.

for my first 3d model ever, cg v1 came out FANTASTIC. it did all work, but only if you didn't move certain ways or care too much about the eyes. i had a lot of problems with clipping and eye movement because of how i wanted to do the cartoon sphere eyes. i LOVE the style of them though so maybe one day i'll revisit it and figure out how to make it happen.

CG V2:

project date: Late 2021 - Spring 2022

The same render from before, but angled from the front The same render again, but from the side
CG v2 is when i really started to get experimental. do i like the direction i took the design in, in retrospect? not really. did i like it at the time? yeah! but it was also super necessary for what i was using it for- this was at the time when i started my mocap research project for school. the plan was to use CG as my avatar for it :0) i thought it'd be cool but it was also half an excuse to just be 3d modelling during school time. (i did also get the project done and did successfully build a mocap system, but i'd have to dig up the pics from that. it wasn't great quality cause it was all wireless and i didn't have a vr headset to base it around and my parent's wifi was and always will be forever shitty, but that's another story).

that said, once i hit the rigging process i had to stop and get a new computer, cause my 2018 surface pro wasn't cutting it. thankfully pacmanfever was born and she was able to handle cg2's verts. this was also when ARKit tracking was becoming accessible, so i got to tinker with that! it came out pretty good because cg2's face shape was sort of designed around it, but the lack of a definitive nose made it a little uncanny. you can watch a video here if you want to see it.

A transparent render of a 3d model. It is a humanoid, but has green skin, blue hair, two-toned antennae, and a pink/green striped tail. They are wearing overalls and a colorblock jacket.

CG V3:

project date: ehhh???? 2022 - project limbo

The model's 3d ref sheet, showing the color pattern for the arms, as well as the markings across the body. The reference has various star and heart shaped markings as freckles, but the actual model does not. The text reads 'CG the gummy worm, it/they/he/she' The same ref sheet, but with the clothes overlaid. They are wearing a white turtle neck underneath a hoodie with a yellow base and purple sleeves. They are wearing several braclets and the aglets on the hoodie strings are stylized to look like lollipops. They also have a massive rainbow legwarmer that wraps around their tail

CG MACH 3... NOW WE"RE TALKING

genuinely i'm very proud of this model. i understand a lot more about modelling now than i did when i started, and it's very cool to see how this design goes back to a lot of the original stuff i had. i experimented with a lot of new tricks i learned (SSS, chain generation, normal mapping which i still need to get the hang of) but unfortunately for some reason it's physically impossible for me to position this model now. i have no idea why, i know for a fact i could move it last time i worked on it however long ago, i just know i can't now. it's probably a sign i need to optimize the fuck out of this. it's technically done though! it'll run in vseeface with only minor lip syncing issues.

my one regret is making them so skinny, they look weird and rectangular from the side. i also regret the way i did the feet/legs because the rigging doesn't make sense, but i'll probably go back and revamp the model A FOURTH TIME just using this one as a base and not starting all the way over next time.

An image of a character similar to the model, only without as many arms and wearing a skirt instead. There is also another version of the character with a similar style and color pallete, which looks more like a caterpillar with several different colored arms. ^ the original concept art from 2021

A close-up of the head geometry, showing off the hair and earrings from the side The model overlaid stream assets, which are brightly colored purples, blues, and greens. The spot where a game would go has a border made of gummy candy, and the chat box is bordered by a cartoon monster that looks like it's eating it. The model is in the bottom left, shaded with green light and purple shadows. ^ streaming assets... as if i'll ever have the guts to do that LOL

A 3d model in A-Pose of an anthro gummy worm, which has 3 sets of arms, green skin with pink accents, blue hair, and two-toned antennae. It is wearing lots of bracelets and a knit hoodie.

PROGRAM:

project date: July 2020

An animtion of the model, where the head spins around to show the different masks. It is darkly lit, emphasizing the pink glow from the accents. The model moves up and down in an idle animation as if it were breathing

program is another one of greg's ocs, this was an attack for 2020 artfight! i like program a lot and this was my first attempt at low poly, so i think it came out pretty good!

A turnaround of a low poly model. It is a grey robot with four legs, a tail, and four faces on a rotating neck. They are stlized to look like tragedy/comedy masks.
