Pride 2023 Art!

Happy Pride2023! 

Here's my objectsona, Menathrenna, with 1978 Pride Flag, Nonbinary, and Bisexual Colors! Stay safe and Stay strong no matter what! May you be well and your love be everlasting!

 

It's done!!!! The 3D still life is complete!

I'm still rendering the detail shots and turnaround through the Sheep-it Renderfarm, a free Blender-based render farm where you can help render other people's files. The more you render community files, the more points you get, and you can use those points to render your own project, as long as it's small and well-prepared for rendering!

I wish I could push for more realism in this composition, but it's good enough for a beginner (well former Autodesk Maya student) project. But that's not my focus for this project. It's a precursor for learning what I need to work on for WOR's development in 3D. Future WOR 3D art will be cel-shaded, but I wanted to do some realism to figure out where I'm at with my 3D skills.

 

Astraea - Holiday Gift Art for PunchyHolery

WOR inspired Fanart of Amulet from the webcomic EFAR by PunchyHolery! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Upon Astraea's brow is a wreathe of wheat, referencing the Greek zodiac Virgo. She also holds the scales of Justice, referencing the Greek Goddess Dike and Astraea, with association with the zodiac Libra. The stained glass window reference another one of EFAR's characters, Badgey.

RSS Feeds and You!!!!!!!!

So, you want to see more of my stuff without signing up on any website?

I suggest using a RSS Feed reader! RSS feeds are a good way to follow your favorite content without algorithims or needing to sign up on a website. RSS feed readers can be easily installed. All you need is the RSS link of the site you want to subscribe to, put it in the RSS feed reader so it will scan for content, and enjoy!

Here's one, Smart RSS by Zakius (Firefox):

Here's what my posts look like in Smart RSS:

Here's another one called Feedbro by Nodetics (Firefox):

This feed has more customization features for display, organization, feed, and more!

How to subscribe to a RSS feed of a blog or website:

Note: Not all websites, including modern social medias, have RSS feeds. RSS feeds are technically outdated today, but some sites, like Blogger, still use RSS feeds.

Anyway, you need to copy a RSS Link from a website with this function enabled:

Where it says "Subscribe to a Reader" (1) in the bottom of this image, this is where you can get the RSS feed link from my Blogger site: sketchingwithreckless.blogspot.com. You need to right click it and copy the link (2). If you just click the link, it will only show you a jumble of useless text.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After grabbing the link, input that link in a RSS Reader. Below is both Smart RSS and Feedbro's RSS link URL box:

Smart RSS is pretty basic, but with blogs that require passwords and other details, use Feedbro. After putting in the RSS link, you are ready to go!

HEY! Tumblr, Twitter, Deviantart, welcome to Blogger!

Hi. Welcome to Blogger.

Very out of date this site is, it's quite nice here...just very isolated, lol.

But, all themes are customizable! 

And you have a feed (reading list) with all your subscriptions (that update once every four months maybe??) 

But there's no algorithm which is great!

You just need to find other people through...uhm...the search engine Google. Yeah.

It's like Tumblr if Tumblr was a desert wasteland and the next city is like billion miles away.

This place you just leave messages in a bottle. Letting it float around until someone from pinterest picks it up and adds it to their board thingy (remember to sign and watermark your art).

But this place has heart, year 2000 heart when social media was just beginning to break through its shell.

It's very quiet here. But it's home.

 

(Late) Swordtember Prompt 30: Guardian

Sir Luther and his curio, Apolle, spend a lovely day out during the autumn month, Exalt.

Curios are child objects who are the offspring of a deceased living object, called the progenitor. When a progenitor dies a true death, they will yield a withered kernel which will be crushed to extract its germ. The germ is then replanted in a material pile matching their progenitor's material makeup. After a few months, the curio will hatch from their pericarp (egg) and be looked after by their caretaker(s).

(Late) Swordtember Prompt 20: Shattered - Guard Captian Devlin

Casualty report below written by Molly, paintbrush and Master Undertaker of Minevatt:

My current tasks are documenting the recovery of casualty remains from the recent Jantherizian invasion of my town, Minevatt. I’m still shaken by what happened, but I need to stay focused. Thankfully, we had prior warning for evacuation and most casualties are war-objects, no civilians. We have enough resources to give all casualties a proper revival. Recovery time, however, may take weeks.

Here, we have our first casualty reported. Soldier details provided by General Doomgreater:

Soldier details:

Name and Rank: Devlin, he/him, Guard Captain serving under General Doomgreater
Date and Location of Hatch: during the dawn, 30th of Exalt, in the abbey of Pepperleaves, Sweetwater Valley Village in the Kingdom of Erdestra
Age: 50
Pre-fitted form: Iron pitchfork
Refitted form: Double-edged iron greatsword
Core inlaid: No, his original form was fitted to a sword template.
Revival History: Ten with one failed. No sign of crumbling.

Casualty Report:

Cause of Death: Shattered by Jantherizian halberd pack attack.
Additional notes: Remains and kernel found by Gwuenevere in destroyed metal refinery in Minevatt. Halberds were prevented from taking Devlin’s kernel prisoner while Gwuenevere fight them off. Remains and kernel are recovered by General Doomgreater’s soldiers.

State of Remains: Pommel split in two but still attached. Grip is splintered with its leather wrapping becoming undone. Hilt is broken on the right side but the other side is still intact. Rainguard faceplate has a complex fracture (possible ichoridic tearing, ichor therapy may be required). The remaining blade is broken into several pieces.
Kernel state: Good retraction from core remains. No donated ichor is needed.
Non-attached remains: Gloves are in mild condition, repairs are needed. Cape, however, is far too damaged, replacement is required.

Repair requirements: Since Devlin’s remains are intact, they can be used to greatly offset the material cost for the Ritual of Convalescence. However, due to the extensive damage to his core, Devlin’s remains may need to be deconstructed and repaired separately by a blacksmith. Once remains are repaired, they will be rejoined with his kernel and revival will be a success.

Additional Comments from Doomgreater:

Blades’ Dammit Devlin! What made you think you can fight an entire halberd pack? You’re lucky they didn’t eat you alive. You owe me an explanation when you wake up.

Oh, one more thing. That cloak saved you. Nearly got herself torn apart while fightn’ them halberds.

Swordtember Prompt 12: Void - Lord Damocles

 

Swordtember Prompt 12: Void

Lord Damocles

Nothing but a tarnished memory.

A long-forgotten hero ripped from his glory and fame far too soon. A rebel turned tyrant.

Swordtember prompt 11: Mythological - Animalculous Vivusobjectus

 

Goddess Alexandria (she/her) of Antiqua transformed from the onset of Soul Putrification caused by the Inversion Event.

Short story below!

Swordtember Prompt 10: Royal - Ekaterini

 

Swordtember Prompt 10: Royal

Arch Ekaterini (She/Her), a sovereign of Erdestra and progenitor of Prince Luther. In this image, she is 150yrs old with a permanent core crumbling, some parts of her blade are covered with protective plates.

Crumbling comes in many different forms depending on a living object's core type. Crumbling is when an object's ichor structure fails to self-repair parts of their core and usually occurs later in life. It's possible, however, for younger living objects to undergo crumbling if they got a major injury or undergo failed revivals. It's a chronic uncurable condition that worsens over time, but there are ways to improve one's quality of life. Patching holes with materials, avoiding activities that may cause injury, and assistive tools for daily life are ways that help those with crumbling.
