Using Blizzard-style art as inspiration is good, but using them as primary references without understanding the core concepts behind arms and armour is bad; you'll be copying and incorporating their lack of understanding into your own work without realizing it. In the early 2000's basically nobody knew how armour worked…
So, I normally model all of my objects in a T pose. Recently, I have created a robot and needed the joints to line up with the pivot points of the connectors. In doing this the IK was not working as it should because it couldn't calculate properly without a bend. So, I unbound (removed all my weights) and manually rotated…

Well! I ended up just going for a cheaper option because I couldn't find the right balance of build quality and price with the newest cpus/gpus. I also just decided to buy a sit/stand electric desk for my home office so my 'not wincing in pain' budget for this kind of decreased. I got a Lenovo Legion Y7000 for 900 bucks on…
I like steam punk, but I do feel like its getting to be really dull right now. I kinda hate the idea of Gothic steam punk because I feel like that's a mix of two horrendously played out ideas to make something totally boring and predictable. (while I'm at it: 'dark' twists on fairy-tales/childhood stories can fuck right…
