Thanks

I just want to take some time to thank all of my followers here on tumblr.

I don’t have as much followers as some others but still more than I have ever expected. I know that like 30% of these might be bots and another 30% might be inactive users which just never unfollowed but it is still a high number for me and I was quite close to 5K in total.

In the beginning I usually told to myself that I don’t care about the follower number and I just do my thing. I never and still don’t see myself as an “artist”. The term “creator” would be ok but not “artist”. This just sounds strange compared to others with real big talent. To consider myself as an artist, I would have needed much more time and effort to really get better at what I’m doing. But I honestly was ok with being mediocre in this and some small positive steps which I made were enough. I have no job in the creative scene and can’t use the things I learn with 3D software in my future life (at least for what I have planned so far), so for me this was more like one of several hobbies to relieve some stress. More than once I was close to stop this hobby and use the time for other things which interest me as well. But some positive feedback and an slowly but steady increase of followers always motivated me to come back and do some more. Sometimes it took a few weeks, sometimes a few months. So in the end the number and therefore YOU followers were important and mattered.

Still it was also important to use my time effectively to get some ok looking results quite fast. Ideal for this was XPS in the beginning and SFM later. I also did some mods for older TR games, Skyrim and Fallout 3. Some of them you will see in my oldies posts. And for sure one or two mods for Witcher 3 for which I also got some help here on tumblr (see special thanks later).

With some game mods it was usually easier to get good looking results because ingame engines are superior compared to XPS or SFM. But depending on the game you are not that flexible regarding posing.

Because of some of above mentioned reasons I will not move to Blender or other 3D software which takes too long to understand and learn and need too much time to render pictures. I might be around some longer for sure but I don’t know for how long especially because SFM is dying as well and there is nothing similar on the horizon. This sounds like a Goodbye post but it is not. Just another little Pre-Adult-Nuke on Tumblr post of mine.

Again thanks to all followers and people who wrote some feedback to me or entered my competitions back when I was more active.

I will for sure forget some people but very special thanks to the following guys and gals for additional help and support being it porting models, providing work for mods, reblogging or general stuff.
