Been awhile. I guess this forum thread has become my very lazy diary. It seems I jump in here once a year or so. 2020 has been hard with all the covid stuff, but also we had two big earthquakes few months apart- one made me move three times.
I deleted all my social media except for artstation (and deviantart- it's more like an archive). Not sure if I'm going to post stuff on artstation so I might delete it too but I keep it mostly because I buy brushes from marketplace. I always felt pressured and felt like an outsider on social media. So many people engage with their followers or post pretty pictures, beautiful renders. It all felt so fake, and at the same time negative. Sometimes I felt bad for not answering on posts or not giving the same attention to someone who is liking all my posts. Just spending time scrolling or reading things made me depressed and I removed it . Some people even sent me messages that they will unfollow me if I don't post new things. What has this world come to. I also didn't really talk with anyone there, so the need to have social media was gone, and I deleted everything in 5min and felt nothing.
After the project came out that I worked on for few years and quit - I didn't feel like posting all those sculpts and concepts, even though I was always excited to finally show them. As the time passed I didn't like them anymore.
So I might jump in on this forum again sometimes. Hopefully not next year again.
Oh and almost two year answer @Leo Ki - one piece- I created brush set that just extracted those shells out.
Here are some stuff - I don't do much personal things mostly because I started working all day on my studio job from home since covid kicked in.
