Decided to clean up this account and make it somewhat professional.

ME!
Sorry for the silence, I am wrapping up a busy 1st semester of my second year of college. I will try and get up to date on things with my break. We'll see! That is all for now though so I will see you later!

BYE!

Shane has been super bummed over how the online community has treated him. This is why I say lets give back for all the inspiration he has given us! I'm asking you to do anything, big or small. Even a minute doodle will work. He loves fan art.

Shane is one of my best friends so I wanted to do something but what's even better than just me is that if everybody joins in.

All you gotta do is find one or more of Shane's character and doodle them! Feel free to get creative. PLEASE NO SUGGESTIVE MATERIAL, THAT STUFF DRAINS HIM. Once you are done, send him a shout with the link of your art and a friendly message. Don't tell him I tried to set this up, he won't know cause he doesn't follow me (rude?). I'd like to make him think the community reached out on it's own!

Got no talent (even though you totally do)? TOO BAD! He loves all art, don't be scared to share! So please help him out and have a lovely day!

Does anyone else here not find fursonas appealing? Or that weird blend of Disney, anime, and realism that art on here feels like. I just find trying to express yourself all in one character often leads to oversaturating! I just want cartoons! It is why I am on this site, I want to find some cool artist with cool cartoons and I have! It just took a long while to find it! I really want a art site that doesn't allow porn/fetish material and focus on awesome cartoon designs! No fursona profiles, just cool designs and a shared professionalism. Maybe I am too boring but I feel like I just want to look at cool art!

It's true! I don't feel comfortable online at all. It's like the opposite of most people. I just want to hide in a corner... But I can't. I need to try and let my work out in the public?

It has been hard to post things while my mind is constantly thinking about my next school project. I have completed work that I haven't posted anywhere due to my mindset. So much of school is eating my focus. I want to give and grow. That task is becoming hard, it feels stagnating.
I want to start trying to draw more on tablets and working with photoshop or other art tools. To help grow that skill I want to do request art streams to practice outside my comfort zone. On top of that I want to make small easy animations that can deal with being a game news guy on youtube. I have game ideas I want to grow more too. So much I WANT but it is so hard to start it, so hard to say it is worth the trouble. I hope to give you more soon so thanks for being patient.

It is a lot about relationships rather than self exploring and expression. I tend to favor the latter but it is in a minority. The raw appeal to couple images, character interactions, and so on is really rooted in this culture. It is drowning in quantity and I think that the lack of balance can distort one's perspective if invested on this site (like many are). More will seek expectations of others rather than their own growth. Do character interactions need to stop? Oh no, they have just as much as importance. I just think this place is devaluing that purpose by constantly having works of art depicting similar actions. I pride in going in a direction not expected. I like to feel that I know the realms of normality and ways to tease it. I feel more should tease it, it is refreashing. So uh, goodnight? haha.

One of my least favorite days of the year. I could really use some love as it is a struggle for me. I hope your day goes well though!

With a day off from school I will be putting all my effort into finishing this zerobsuit samus model I've been wprking on. It will mostly just be pure modeling and MAYBE some texture work. Hope to see you there!

Topology is very very stressful. I wish there were video on how to do low poly crotches as it is ALWAYS different with every modeler it seems. I haven't done complex realistic characters before so this is a learning experience and I hope to do well.

GOING BIG! hours long? MAYHAPS! Music? YOU NO IT! Mic? CHYEAH BRO!

In all serious it will be my last day on winter break and I have a lot to do for a project in class. In the stream I will be texturing a broken Samus Varia suit. This stream will hopefully just be texturing, which is much more colorful to watch, and more entertaining than complex modeling. I would loved if you showed up and kept me company to talk all things nerdy.

my stream page is here: https://picarto.tv/RidiRidiTwoShoes

I will announce when it is live in a post rather than a journal!

She is a delight and I felt like shouting it out.

Also Merry Christmas, hope your super holiday went well/

I am in the mood to find a new artist or two on here but man oh man browsing is showing nothing for me. Now just to give you a little insight to my taste; I am not into straight up furry art. Never liked realistic human bodies with Disney eyes. What I am a fan of is expressive 1950s- 1990s cartoon styles. So if anyone wants to help, that would be extremely nice of you. I Really want to see more interesting works of art.

More metroid modeling and good times! Anyone welcome to drop by and watch.

bus was late so I walked home and the cold walk pooped me out. Super bummed about it but I will get a good night sleep and FORCE myself to get on the stream. Gosh darn my shy ways.

School is out and I got a lot to do. My life is turning into all things nintendo as I will be modeling up samus's body armor,the varia suit, and I have learned of new pixar material to try out on the switch pup. It won't be a long stream unless I get sucked into the work but will still be very fun. Hope to see you then! Maybe I might hold a stream raffle too, who knows.

two weeks without a stream! Super busy with school's new assignment! So sorry! I sooo plan to get back into it. Don't let me forget!

Sorry guys! Time flew. I will do a mini stream within this week.

Going to be streaming later today after I get all my chores sorted out (like playing with my new amiibo in animal crossing... Or rent) . this stream might consist of multiple things! First I want to work on a animation project for class and then work on texturing the nintendo switch puppy.

Now I have a craving to work with low poly/low texture models again so I am opening commission slots of my blocky buddies for a lil while. Going to start with 5 slots and go from there. It will only be for animated images and icons, unlike my last ambitious attempt with making a game for every commissioner. It shouldn't be hard to find examples through my gallery but I will make a official announcement later with more info.

Block Buddies Slots ($2 entry)
Slot 1 onetime
Slot 2 ~open~
Slot 3 ~open~
Slot 4 ~open~
Slot 5 ~open~

Stream king Ridi lately. Going to be working on the switch puppy face! Be there or be sq-not there.

I will try and stream twice this week! Yay me! I will probably be working on my Nintendo switch puppy around 7PM PT. That means 10PM EST for you east coasters. If I am not doing the pup I will probably be animating some classwork stuff. Hope to see you there!

For my class I need to model up a pre exsisting character. They say super hero or villain but really any known human character with realistic proportions can do. I cannot think of one though. Was thinking Samus, Sheik, Ellen Ripley, a form of spiderman, or anything. Needs to be wearing something tight to show anatomy. Help?

How 180 is this? I go from feeling alone and that the world is unreachable for myself to seeing strangers take their time to reach out to me. Thanks once again.

I do plan to try and work on making the nintendo switch puppy on a live stream today so keep watch. It will be at a very early experimental stage so I wouldn't mind conpany.
