Sometimes I go to draw something, and the. I end up drawing something else instead

I really gotta make more art like this

Trust the process, even when there is no process

Calling my religion a cult is a great way to ensure that I never take anything you have to say about religion seriously ever again. Grow up. Quite your pharisaical fear mongering and make a damn argument. If what you have is really so much better, let it shine.

Old-school Studio C had some of the best videos on the internet

I never know how to connect with people over shared hardship. The worst thing I have to deal with is all wrapped up in fuzzy cartoon animal characters. It feels so unserious compared to actual problems. “Oh, you’ve got some chronic illness, or you’re addicted to drugs, or you just lost a loved one and don’t know how to move on? Well I don’t know what that’s like, but if the struggle to stop watching fuzzy cartoon demons frick eachother in the weirdest ways imaginable has taught me anything, it’s that there’s always comfort to be found in the thought of who’s watching you from above, mourning as you mourn and cheering you on as you push forward. No matter how hard it gets, no matter how alone you feel, know that when all is said and done, there will always be someone standing in the doorway waiting to welcome you home.” Idk. I’ve learned a lot of lessons over the years, but it gets hard to take them to heart sometimes. I don’t know how to put any of it into practice, so it all just slips away to leave me feeling unworthy of every epiphany I’ve ever had.

So I figure out how to make custom sculpt brushes in blender. Now I just need to figure out how to make them good

Like, the difference seems subtle, but it genuinly helps so much with seeing the detail I'm trynna make.

Bruh. Why in the heck don’t all blender sculpting tutorials start by telling you to go to the viewport drop-down settings and switch the metcap object color to object?

I'm thinking of trying to make a sort of Blender character creator where you can mix and mash different features together to get an approximation of your original character, then follow along with a tutorial series dedicated to merging all the pieces and making it look good. Everything here is very early WIP. For further variations, I'm probably gonna try and copy actual animal features and turning every variation model into a specific template you can mix around if you want to. It'd be a long way out, and I still need to work out the workflow for myself, but I'm curious whether anyone would be interested. I've always wanted to follow a tutorial that aligns more closely to something I actually want to make than most do, and I figure this might be a good way to facilitate that for would be 3d modelers with an appretiation for anthroproorphic design. Ideally, the tutorial would be accessible even for people who don't really want to learn all this ins and outs of Blender, but like the idea of having a 3d reference for their character. I want to TRY to replicate the sort of sharp artistic style you see in Arcane or the Clone Wars to the extent that I can manage, as I think it fits the general furry asthetic better than softer models, but we'll see if I can pull it off.

The notion that the Trinity in all of its metaphysical complexity is taught in the Bible can be defended with scripture. I don't find suh defenses compelling as a general rule, but it can be done. The notion that professing belief in God and faith in Jesus Christ is worthless if you don't view Him with the correct metaphysical framework is MUCH more difficult to defend with scripture. You get people talking past eachother arguing about which God is greater while both hold to a different understanding of what makes a being great in the first place. To a lot of Trinitarians I've interacted with, the difference between Mormon God and Catholic God seems to be some unbridgable divide. It confuses me because I find the metaphysical makeup of God to be virtually meaningless compared to His relationship with humanity. The Trinity caps at a certain point of explanation and declares divine mystery. I do that sooner. I'm not bothered by not knowing the metaphysical nature of God. What strikes me as a much greater gap, on the other hand, is the defference between Mormon God and Calvanist God. While I wouldn't go so far as to say Calvanists are damned for how they understand scripture, I can't reconcile determinism with both the reality I experience and the notion that God is the loving Father scripture makes Him out to be. It may be moral for a sculptor to shape a lump of clay however he wishes, but contrary to an overliteral interpretation of certain metaphors, we are not lumps of clay. A sculptor doesn't call himself the father of what he sculpts, else he make the word meaningless.

I don’t think I’m ever going to be infatuated. It feels like if I ever want to get married, I have to figure out how to skip the young love stage without feeling like the relationship is indistinguishable from a regular friendship.

Someone whould write a sci-fi book where instead of shooting lasers at eachother, battleships just wave around wormholes like flails and annihilate eachother by re-writing the shape of the space enemy ships inhabit. Might as well if you've already got warp speed

You ever feel like you’re playing a game of among us where you’re the imposter, so everybody is out to get you, but you’re so bad at acting suspicious that nobody realizes they’re out to get you? So then they all bring you into the friend group and go on and on about how much imposters suck, and part of you has developed this whole self deprecating sense of humor because imposters do pretty much suck, and it’s nice to be able to connect with people through how much you hate your own kind, but then there’s always that awkward little voice at the back of your mind reminding you that they aren’t laughing with you because they don’t know they’re talking about you, and it just creates a sort of distance you can’t figure out how to bridge. So every now and again you find a way to tell people what you really are, and it turns out that everyone is a lot more understanding than they said they’d be, and they’re feel so bad about insulting you for all that time that they never bring up imposters again and your friendship dies because you’ve lost half of your sense of humor and every interaction is about 23% more awkward. You ever feel that way?

I typed that I had to fix something, and my phone tried to autocorrect it to fox. This may be the most furry moment of my life.

You can say literally anything about Mormonism, and people will just believe you. I could say something like “Mormons have revered potatoes ever since a group of Idahoan settlers were ‘miraculously’ saved from a famine by a bountiful harvest, which also explains why fry sauce is so prevalent in Utah. They have to baptize their potatoey mana.” And so long as I said it with a straight face, there’d be a paragraph about secret fry worship temple ceremonies in the next pamphlet those anti-Mormon pilgrims shove in peoples faces outside of the conference center.

One of my biggest anxieties as an ameteur 3d modeler is that someone might walk into my room while I'm in the middle of sculpting a butt crack.
