Been starting work on making the funtime animatronics because I need them for an MSD reason I will not spoil, firstly funtime foxy for some reason.

That's fur on the back of his head, yeah. I also didn't use the regular blender hair system for this, instead using it to instance a plane with just the top half of a silhouette of a tree texture on it all over the furry surface and with some normals fuckery it looks pretty damn good. Maybe regular hair particles could look better but guess what fuck you.

Oh also his eyes close like camera shutters which I thought would be really cool because you get to have the "moment where the robot goes evil and his eyes turn scary" in a way which doesn't look THAT ridiculous. Second photo attached shows this at like 50% closed to give you an idea.

I plan to focus more on the circusy theme of the funtimes, while still retaining what makes them who they are. I took inspiration from The Hare's concept art he posted although his designs stray a lot further from the source material and try a bit too hard to be creepy looking for my taste, as these are supposed to perform for children apparently.

In other news my social life is getting a lot better all of a sudden, primarily because of two new people. Or well, one of them I met last year when she was playing five nights at Candy's remastered on one of the college PCs and I happened to be near her. Never got her name at the time but around two weeks ago I did and I've been trying to spend more time around her when I can. She's a trans woman like me but she's like 0% progressed in that transition so they just look like a regular guy, which I guess is better than some people who get 10% in and just end up looking weird.

What's more important though is the other person who I've met through her. This one is the second ever cis woman that I've been friends with which is great because I really wanted to get over my fear of them and its helping. I haven't really told her much about my blender stuffs yet but she seems to actually take interest in me and I've even shared some more surface level political opinions and she's reacted normally to them which is good.

Though I'm still kinda freaked out as to why Sarah cut me off despite barely knowing me but it's much easier to not think about it when I have other things going on now.
