Wow, I just realized that it has been one full year since I started my journey into the 3D art world. So if I may, I think it would be a great opportunity to look back on just where I came from, and what a better place to start than the beginning of my 3D experience.

Back then all I did was observe, but with the circumstances that plagued us as of both this year and last year, I certainly had a lot much more free time on my hands. With that, I began my journey into the 3D world and I must say it was. . .a little bit of a rocky start. Back when I began, I didn't know the first thing about posing, lighting, art, at first I just wanted to make what I wanted to see, some feets up close to the screen. However as time went on and more was made, I decided to seek out aid from both friends and fellow artists that could give me some insight on just what on Earth I was doing. I must say that the responses and criticisms were overwhelmingly positive to say the least, each one pushing and pressing me into the right direction. To all my friends who've helped me along the way, whether you gave me hard advice to help work something out, or you just were there to give moral support, thank you all so much from the bottom of my heart!

Then at times when I finally had the reigns on Source Filmmaker, I started releasing 3D pieces at a slightly higher quality. Not only that but I even tried doing some Art Raffles over time, which were also very productive in letting me get to see what you, the viewers had inside your imaginations too! Hopefully there will be more opportunities for you all to share your wonderful ideas to me at a later date. Well, few months in and I had learned quite a bit about SFM, still my goal was to increase in quality as much as I could! Yet the next major step for me was the dreaded beast known as animation! That for a solid month. . .was quite the rollercoaster to say the least, but I had done it, my first animation. I had no idea there would be plenty more to come in the ongoing future.


As many more months pass, we skip to me trying to move up more, yet another titan stood before me known as Blender. . .God where do I even begin with that program! Moving up from Source Filmmaker to Blender was certainly a big leap, yet once more through the help of my friends, heheh one in particular who shouted in a voice chat, gave me the courage I really needed to try out the program. And well. . .what do ya know, I actually got a good foot in. . .after a good, week or two. With more models to experiment with and much more freedom of creativity, it was almost overwhelming to decide what picture to even make next. Once more I had to get a hold of myself, so I just tried to work things out with blender, but that brings me to the present.

Now. . .I try to give out advice whenever necessary to those who seek it, I'd say that now more than ever my art has certainly changed from when I was first starting SFM. But. . .I must say it's due to all of you here on FA who've been giving me the support I need to make the pieces you guys hopefully enjoy. As I let my message come to an end, I just wish to say thank you all so much. Thank you watchers, commenters, heck I even thank the people who merely come and go, everyone really! And thus. . .I suppose my journey continues, who knows, perhaps I'll explore more than just the goods known as feet and maybe branch out into other things or maybe even just natural art, who knows what the future holds, but anyway-

Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this, and I truly hope you have a wonderful day. Here's to one solid year of 3D artwork, and hopefully there will be more to come.
