First UGC of mine on Roblox to cross 10k copies sold in the last 90 days.
Only the beginning. LFG 🤘
For myself,
For my family,
For my friends,
Here's to hopefully a joyful holiday season and a vigorously renewed spirit eager for improvement, achievement and greater good for ourselves and the world at large in the new year.
May we all find peace, alignment and prosperity.
See you all in 2026 - as the founder of BearPuppy 💙
I wish I had made progress on my VRchat/Vtuber body but alas I'm chaos incarnate and decided to take a project over the weekend that sounded fun that was actually really challenging and I hope it turns out well. Can't wait to put it up here, assuming it does!
So many puppies. SO. MANY. PUPPIES.
I have a treasure trove of hundreds, perhaps even thousands of animals and things that I've modeled over the years that I can use to make UGC on Roblox. I've always been a very conservative modeler, as my first steps into true 3D modeling all those years ago was to serve a community that required extremely low 'land impact cost' in Second Life. The way I've modeled over the years lends itself almost too well to what Roblox demands, though my texture style isn't what the users there are used to or expect. That's a challenge I'll be addressing with 'future' work, some of which is already in motion.
Check out the new stuff I've uploaded to the UGC groups I work under, please and thank 🙏
Thank you for reading, if you did. It means a lot to me. 💜
I've always loved the art behind vtubers and wanted to make my own... so I am.
Here's where I got on a base body for it after about 5 hours of on/off messing with it.
First of all, please look at this purse I made today.
As I treat this blog as more of a diary of thoughts and stuff while I create things, I felt like blabbing about a topic that was basically the air I breathed around me for a significant portion of the last few years of my life - fashion, digital especially.
Until rather recently, I really had absolutely no fashion inclined bone in my body. It's hard to want to dress yourself up when you have next to no self confidence and you're the subject of bullies for being the fat, awkward, weird nerd girl kid. Then suddenly I was thrown into the world I knew absolutely nothing about but I had to learn and learn fast so that I could recreate it in the digital world.
Now, for the first time in my life (adult or otherwise) I have finally managed to get medical issues under control, lost a considerable amount of weight and I can wear normal sizes you find in most stores. It's been a really weird adjustment. I always feel like everyone around me is staring at me wondering what the hell this weirdo is doing shopping in their normal people's size stores. I'm fully aware no one is staring at me (for fat shame reasons anyway) but that feeling is going to take time to go away if it ever does. Feelings about it aside, it's been... fun, emotional to be able to buy clothes and enjoy what I look like in them.
While it's fun in the real world, it's even more rewarding in the digital one where I can literally make whatever the heck I feel like at the time - and I'm gonna make it in purple, duh. I make something I like, put it on my avatar, and I do a little happy squee.
Yeah, just wanted to blab about fashion and my toe-dipping into it.
I really like eccentric purple gothic stuff.💜
Can't wait to get multiple interactive stores up that host what I have made so I can blab about this more, along with actual game dev stuff.
This dog is my favorite.
I love him so much so if you've found your way here lucky you because you get to see and read about his majestic beastliness.
Just look at that meat head. Beautiful.
More pics and stuff if you read more~
One of my favorite parts of the trip my family recently made to Japan was coming across the Creative Museum Tokyo and happening upon their exhibition featuring Hokusai.
It felt like fate as the words coming through the headset made it clear that this was not just about observing the art this legend of a man had created but his processes, his literal invention of the foundation of Japanese manga art direction. Further impressive was that this man would typically challenge himself past whatever limitations existed in his physical tools for carving and painting by effectively forcing insane hard mode on himself, with many of his directional pieces emphasizing organic, flowing movement with the strict use of only a single, unbreaking line to make the whole figure.
A random thought I wished to put out into the universe as I sit here on a 13 hour flight to Tokyo:
I was once told that for a business to succeed it must have a "North Star" to guide it. I don't think that thought process was grounded, objective or wise. Sure, you need guiding principles and a voice to siren call your people to follow you but why search for a star so far, far away when the big, beautiful, silver moon exists for us so close by? She's so powerful; Her phases affecting our oceans and our very lives through astrology. The Moon takes the raw, burning, sometimes harmful energy of the sun and translates it to a beautiful reflection that lets the Earth rest and recover at night.
Chasing after stars means you'll end up wandering aimlessly in space, perhaps forever doomed trying to lust after something unattainable.
Anyway, just a sky-thought.
I really don't care for recording myself in a video stream, too much work.
Screenshotting and documenting my thoughts in written words, now that's my language. 🤌
