Let’s have some 17 to 23 January 2016.

My tablet stylus
is cactus at this point – the eraser seems to work sort of but that’s about it – the drawing tip doesn’t register at all, the rocker switch either doesn’t rock or only intermittently works, and the glitches are epic. A friend might have a working replacement (one of my old hand-me-downs!), so I may end up dropping a day on SculptJanuary and making it up over the long weekend.. or I may end up dropping it for however long it takes to get a new working stylus and not crossing the finish line after all. Bad timing is bad.

I even had a fun character design for the “Forest Spirit” sculpt – sort of a snail crossed with a grumpy old lady who collects random bits of filth.in her handbasket. Hope I can still get her done.

Also this week I put together a beast of a new PC with a beast of a video card. Partly it’s a VR and gaming rig, but it’s also a makey-stuff rendering rig too. It’s named after one of these, a fearless desert hunter called a mulgara.

This week’s image was an aborted fur edge-lighting test that has very little to do with anything. The old PC couldn’t render it with CUDA due to not having enough memory on the video card, but the new one renders it just fine. 🙂

No movement to report on “A moment in the sun”, though if I can’t get a new stylus shortly, I’ll get going with layout again and just finish the remaining January sculpts off whenever I need a sanity break.

EDIT: Borrowed back my old tablet from aforementioned friend – the old stylus doesn’t work with my usual tablet, so I’m on the old tablet until the new stylus shows up in the post. Hurrah!
