I&#8217;ve been trying to do a lot of grease pencil + mesh works lately, and the face here might be my favorite yet. I didn&#8217;t know where exactly I got the pure white eyes from when I was making it but I knew I had seen them before, I just thought they&#8217;d kind of fit the vibe. Of course I realize now I was subconsciously taking from <em>Gorillaz<\/em>, while incorporating some noise to the grease pencil for a squiggle-vision <em>Home Movies<\/em> type effect. I made myself look like how I look when I&#8217;m getting sucked into something I enjoy. Which is that I inevitably end up a bit disheveled and sleep deprived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Stream BRB #1\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/f-EcJPtNEd0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">First animation I did with him, those flippers for hands haunt me&#8230; <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Teleportation Orb\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/u98YojME1u8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Fun combo of Blender and After Effects<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately besides the face, I don&#8217;t get to flex a lot of character design skills when creating a recreation of myself. Especially in the clothing department, just a T-shirt and jeans. That&#8217;s what I wear in real life! I have some fancier work clothes and stuff but generally I&#8217;ve never been huge on my own personal fashion despite the fact I adore the function it has in art. So maybe I&#8217;ll up my style for my fictional counterpart in the future. But currently I&#8217;m working on potentially creating a rig for VRChat and giving the livestream version more expressions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a very simple caricature of myself I&#8217;ve been using for my YouTube content or just as a character in random animations of late.
