YES, you can. log on to Opensea. Music artistes and sound technicians often NFT their works

I have dabbled into UI stuff

So I am back. Another project in the horizon. I will be tabling my progress as the project runs.


It's a nice break from all this Reactjs and tailwind CSS stuff. I wanna do what I love. Reactjs brings higher dough though

i am about to engage in the most daunting hard surface modeling since my career as a 3d artist. I am calling on all the creative muses in the universe to channel their energies through me.

going through my demo reel, this caught my attention.

Once upon a time, i sculpted this.

An axe for game prop

This is my old work way back in the 50's

go down memory lane. This is a collection of stuff i did way back in the 50's . that period when everyone looked down on blender and many peeps where telling me I wouldnt go far with blender. That i should simply migrate to Maya.
I IGNORED ALL OF THEm

At a time, i was the only Blender artist on NL, it felt so lonely and absurd, Thank God I stuck to it. To think, i had the foresight that it would pay my bills someday

pic 1/ My sorry attempt at making a portrait of Genevieve Nnaji circa 1945
pic 2: My very first human sculpture, that i rigged myself
pic 3: My very first attempt at a one minute animation. The Rigging was so hectic. This stuff took me three months. If you look closely at the TV's reflection, you'd see Geneviev's reflection. I was so obsessed with her then

I think the only thing I would say. Is to key doing it. I still struggle. There are times when I will be faced with a project where the character will just refuse to come to shape. I will sing to it, curse my ancestors, listen to Music ( particularly Bey, don't know why her music enables my sculpting) and at the end it will just form into shape.

I try not to pressure myself at the beginning stages. And I look at a lot of tutorials. Especially the zbrush YouTube playlist. Try to find a tutor that you vibe with. I have leant that there are particular tutors that there way of speaking, cadence and approach to certain areas of character design is more in vibe with my spirit than others.

Above all, sculpt at least three times every three days. I make it like that. Also choose a niche. Even though this is hard nowadays. I tried to stuck to semi-realistic or realistic characters.

I think if you have a particular area you focus on as you learn, you'd be more proficient and better able to scale into different work scenerios . It's a whole lot better than doing every style at once. You might get all bogged up.
