This will be a self-improvement thread for me to recognize where I am coming from, and to progress with my skills moving forwards; hopefully some feedback will be provided as I go along. Portfolio for Reference

Seems like I am perpetually falling behind on my arch-vis schedule (thankfully its self-imposed). Working on this kukri knife from Tim Bergholz's tutorials as a means to understand hard surface work, substance painter, and baking better. Still working on the low-poly of my boat.

Working on a 1847 Colt Paddington style pistol currently. Going to be making all of the internals as well, so I am slowly taking my time to make sure I get this right. There are a few things remaining that need adjustments at this step before I re-do edges (this is the high poly) and then work on all the internal parts and boolean out various sections that need it.
