Jayyokayy - Jay!

Is there a word for positive ranting? Because ima do that. A while ago, probably a few months, a made a little animatic. By little a mean minute long.

I have a habit of never finishing things, but lately i've been trying to break that habit. I start things then get distracted and do other things, or i get a decent way through them and then decide 'if i can't make it perfect i shouldn't make it at all'.

which is silly.

So i figured i'd never do anything with the animatic. Then a month later i made all the backgrounds because why not? I had fun making them, too. turns out snow is kind of fun to color.

Then i left it alone, then a month~ later i picked it up again and animated it all. I actually animated it! Then i carefully left it alone for a few days before coming back to render it.

I could go on a rant about rendering. At first a rendered all of the pieces in a few parts because i thought i could do transparent layers and separate effects on each layer, but blender didn't like that, so no.

So i had to re-render EVERYTHING and slap that together and render it, because for some reason i really had it planned to render everything in parts? Probably for effects and stuff but it still didn't work.

Anyways it took a few days, and i genuinely pondered how many people, like i had, stared at a screen in dismay solely because of compositing.

But i rendered everything and added in the effects i wanted, which was hard because i had to learn the basics of compositing and GOD it took so long to render! I just left my computer on and went to bed-

But i finished it! Sure it took months of on and off work but i did it! I finished something and i'm so proud of it. If i could, i'd hang it up on my wall, but alas, you can't capture the beauty of animation in a single frame.

Here it is, it's infinity train :)

Someone: What's your favorite game about?

Me: In a sci-fi setting where it may or may not be the apocalypse, an AI is controlling an uncountable amount of robots that are processing humans and maintaining the environment. A woman meets this AI and decides to overthrow them. AI isn't happy. A handful or years later, a woman meets a spherical British AI, befriends him, brings him to the mainframe, and he takes over the entire place, much to former ruler's dismay

Other person: What's your favorite show about?

Other person: . . . Are they rela-

Me: they're completely unrelated.

I just finished playing both portals, adored them both, and decided to draw something! I had fun with the colors, but i feel like i could've come up with some more interesting composition? meh, i like it anyways. Fun to draw! I imagine myself redrawing it One day in the far future. (get it? joke!)

I was making a 3d model of the train and noticed that the Wheel has a little One symbol on it!

Cool :)

I like the idea of hidden One/One-One depictions on the train, like the door handles or details in the wheels.

Yaaayy i finally finished this! I think it's pretty good! I'm completely unbiased ;)

(But also I genuinely like it :)

I was playing Minecraft and couldn't find any Infinity train skins on Skindex so I made 2 Amelia skins! :D

This one

and

this one

<3

I think they're as close to perfect as I can get a minecraft skin <3

I haven't logged onto skindex in years and these were the first I made. I made them from scratch too!! I've come so far as an artist lol.

My other skins were just minor edits of other people's. But you gotta start from somewhere! I feel kinda nostalgic thinking about it.

Oh! And if anyone wants to edit these in anyway, go ahead! (I think I made her hair too dark or her pants the wrong color anyways.) Just credit me/send me a pic so i can admire it.

It feels strange now that i've actually finished this project <3

It's the best thing i've made so far!

I had an idea in mind, and i tried to draw it. I'm saying this is close enough where i can look at it and remember what i wanted to draw. I'll try to redo it later, as in whenever i feel like it :P

that is supposed to be Amelia btw- I think she looks more evil than i intended?? I meant for her just be having fun ig

I'm modeling the Infinity Train in blender! Hopefully to use it in animation projects later :)

It's going very good. I finished modeling it. Then I made the grave mistake of rigging it (almost done with that? I hope?) and now i'm UV unwrapping it! Yaaaay! (I'm in dismay!)

I'm super proud of how good i'm doing and I can't wait till it's done.

I'll try to make a video showing the rig soon but as with everything in life, no promises.
