Gosh... I really didn't keep up with ArtFight at all. I need to plan ahead better for next year. But I do want to thank everyone who attacked me for the wonderful art! I'll still try to return-fire, even if ArtFight is over and it won't be worth any points, I'd still like to return the favor! 💙

So it turns out I had a setting enabled in CSP under View > Color Profile > Preview that was altering the way my colors on the canvas looked, and caused all my file exports to be overly saturated. Disabling this setting fixed the issue. No wonder I always struggled with over-saturated images aughh🙃

I'm looking into distribution partners to figure out how I will handle getting the Pyrexia standees out to those of you that are interested in it. It's looking like I'll have to bulk order from a manufacturer and go from there, so I'll try to set up an order form for everyone to fill out soon!

My first small test batch of Pyrexia standees came in!! 🐲✨ My lighting set up is pretty awful, but overall the print looks good. She came out a bit more tinted towards magenta than intended, and the scale highlight and shadow detail got a bit lost as well. What do you think? Would you get one?

It's my 35th birthday today! I celebrated by having my eyes checked and getting a blood test. Everything is okay though, and I got to have a nice lunch with my dad. I don't really have any photos of the occasion, so here's my lil 19 year old cat, Lydia. :)

Finally wrapped up all of the retopology yesterday. She's got a basic working rig and the uvs are all done, too. I made some reshaping adjustments to the mesh though, so the textures are a mess now and need to be rebaked. I'll have some better looking shots, soon!

Casualties Unknown Solo: I die horrifically from infection in the dark, cold and alone :( Casualties Unknown Multiplayer: Me constantly asking my friends if they're thirsty or hungry or need a kissy on the booboo :)

Sorry for being dead on here lately... Been feeling very drained and low in motivation for some reason. I'll try to reply to all comments soon! I need to take some time to read all the helpful replies about the Caley model. And the Pyrexia sculpt is almost at a point where I can share it, too. :)
