It's Critter Time!

Hello Critters I am Zen, a tired bird who makes a lot of stuff, I've been around in the furry community for nigh-on 400 billion years now and have had the pleasure of appearing in and working on a whole range of furry entertainment, podcasts, radio shows- the works!
Fuckin' half of which is so old now it's lost media but what can you do.

I'm a full time game dev, plugging away at my personal project over on Patreon.
In my spare time I make all kinds of art, I mod my fursona into video games, and I write music: I recently moved back to Melbourne after some time exploring South Australia. I'm originally from the PNW where I could be easily spotted by the cloud of crows moving through Seattle (got in trouble for that once).

Anyway they're making birds do work now so I'm posting on Critter Time instead.

Welcome! Love your vibe and love to see more fellow gamedevs here

G'daya and welcoooome to the forums Zen!!! ^^w^^//

Good to meet another fellow who's living down under, hehe. Biggg fan of the model, it looks insanely good, I'm curious what program ya used to make it in? >>w>>

Hello! Your art looks great!

Eyyyy! I do all my modeling in Blender! Some of my rendering happens in Marmoset, and textures get done in Zbrush + Substance Painter- but the bulk of the work is all that wonderful free open source tool we all know and love. UvU

Oh! I've seen your art and work before, it's very rad :3

A fellow Blender user as well! I was actually wondering if that was the case as well (I like to usually spot certain aspects of renders, cause there's some that easily make me go "OH YEP, that's a Blender render.", it's fun to spot in the wild, couldn't actually tell with yours that time, says a lot about the art style going on, it's awesome! XXD), genuinely happy to have encountered ya. ^^w^^

Truly can't thank enough the greatness of free open source software that allows us to create such fantastical and lovely work we do. Really look forward to seeing what other great works ya decide to show off here and there on the forums. uUwUu
