Last-second Happy Shark Week! :D Shiirk can't help himself when he needs food sometimes. Looks like he picked up some tricks from the Hooligans Guild. Also on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0A6... #LowPolyKnights #IndieAnimation #Fantasy #3DAnimation

When your tabard goes flapping in the breeze. (The cloth sim on the tabard for Tactical and Assault seems to just be in the character customization menu when you spin the little dudes around, but yeah. Very silly.)

A custom Space Marine from Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, wearing light blue and white armor, with a shark and knight theme to the armor, and the new cross-compatible tabards, but the cloth physics when spinning the marine in character customization flaps out the chest of the tabard's cloth physics to make the marine look like he has huge breasts.

I don't cheat in online games, and I used to play on controller. with that context, every time I open Windows Game Bar on my PC, I see a message some salty dude sent me from a single good match I had in Halo Infinite PvP one night in 2023, on controller, in which he accused me of cheating. xD

Message I received from someone after a Halo Infinite PvP that match I played on controller in November 2023: "Just another pc modder get reported dbg"

Me: "I'm playing on controller. No mods. PC Game Pass. That was my first decent game all night."

I'm suspicious as to why so many of my gifs, migrated from Tenor, have such high views on Klipy, when most only got 12 or 24 views on Tenor... Is it a boom from the new viewership since Tenor stopped its API for things like Discord and BSky?

A grid of my animated gifs on Klipy, with view counts often in the thousands.

ChrisOfTheDead@chrisofthedead· 27d

The final record before Google pulled the plug on Tenor's public facing API. My Skyrim Mudcrab cocking a Halo 3 magnum was the king with 2k shares.

ChrisOfTheDead@chrisofthedead· 27d

Did an account and gif migration from Tenor over to Klipy, so my 3D animation gifs are back on BlueSky and Discord... But WHO let the freaking AI describe my gifs!??! >:(

ChrisOfTheDead@chrisofthedead· Jul 11

Every now and again, I am reminded that someone is keeping my IMDB page up to date. :P

He's doing the Popeye! xD

Playing Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee on emulator is funny because Godzilla's eyes/mouth will just randomly bug out, lag behind, and pop out of his head for a frame or two when he moves his head too fast. Really looking forward to the remaster this November! xD

Why does my hand hurt so much? #SpaceMarine2 #WH40k

A Space Marine 2 operations mode screenshot of a Blood Raven marine whose animation bugged, and he is holding the Space Marine 1 campaign Chainsword like it's a rifle, with his left hand, which usually grabs the body of a rifle to steady the aim, holding the front base of the sword directly on the chainsaw blades.

Progress on the next #LowPolyKnights is slow at the moment, and probably gonna get slower with the day job hours and side contract picking up soon. In the meantime, enjoy these environment test renders and... Hey! How did those get in there! D: www.patreon.com/chrisofthede...

A land of spiky ash mountains seen from across a white stone block bridge. The opposite side, from which the camera is placed, is a lush green grassy area. Shiirk the Shark Knight is T-posing for scale.

A lush grass forest with hills in the background, seen from across a white stone block bridge. The opposite side, from which the camera is placed, is a land of ash. Shiirk the Shark Knight is T-posing for scale.

Shiirk the shark knight man, with rusty desaturated tan/red skin and armor with blue fabric between the armor plates, and Kai the shark knight woman with light teal skin and armor with green fabric between the armor plates. Kai is holding Shiirk by the shoulders, and his arms are straight down at his sides. They are both smiling, and she is giving him a look that desires romance, while he looks a little nervous.

ChrisOfTheDead@chrisofthedead· Jun 6

So Kai obviously specced into strength to make the most of her family's heirloom axe. I am super proud of this design! :D Also, a general update on Low-Poly Knights progress, and my under-NDA side contract (Picking up soon), for free on Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/genera... #LowPolyKnights

New #LowPolyKnights short animation! :D Shiirk is dying of hunger, but it sounds like his friends have enough food to motivate him to reach them in time. #3DAnimation #IndieAnimation #Anthro #Fantasy Better quality: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfDV...

Seeing news that folks sell carries for stuff in Marathon reminds me of the time I ran into a dude back in Halo 3, whose gamertag was a URL of a website that sold lvl 50 ranked accounts. He would run up to you and teabag so you would see his name. Which is dumb because if you weren't-

A low-res screenshot of Halo 3, from an old clips montage from back around 2007. The name ChrisOfTheDead is in the lower right corner to indicate who's perspective the footage was from.

The enemy player is a blue Spartan with the gamertag "wwwLvl50com", which is showing above the player's head, because they are purposefully not playing the game legitimately because they are trying to advertise the website listed as their gamertag.

3D animation is 100% serious business. #LowPolyKnights

A low-poly Shark Knight T-posing with a shocked expression, with his mouth hanging open in a goofy way.

A low-poly Shark Knight crouched down, with his tail and head sticking straight forward and arms pointing up with hands flat, as if mimicking bird wings flapping, with a shocked expression, with his mouth grimacing in a goofy way.

A low-poly Shark Knight flopped down flat on the ground with his arms pointing up with hands flat, as if mimicking bird wings flapping, with a shocked expression, with his mouth grimacing in a goofy way.

#LowPolyKnights always pokes fun at Bethesda and Fantasy RPG tropes, but for this year's April Fools video, I tried leaning into the jank. Enjoy! Also on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_o7Q... #Fantasy #Furry #3DAnimation

A new test render of Kai using modified pixel textures from Shiirk. Tried to modify her model a bit to make her stand out a little compared to Shiirk and Blue. She's got a little bit beefier arms and legs, and some sharp ornamental curves to some of the armor shapes. She still needs her axe. :)

ChrisOfTheDead@chrisofthedead· Mar 17

Nah. I'm good.

$A screenshot from Low-Poly Knights, my low-poly, retro-game art-style series that pays homage to the experience of playing fantasy RPGs and the Bethesda games of old. The meme shows two versions of the same screenshot, the one on top labeled "DLSS 5 Off", of which DLSS is Nvidia's AI filter meant to make games look good and pretty at the fraction of the performance cost, but actually makes things look worse and acts as a crutch to let game dev leadership focus on not optimizing their games to run well on their own. The top screenshot with the AI feature off shows a humanoid nurse shark knight in silver armor on top of blue clothing, holding a blue steel sword and shield, walking in some dark ancient ruins. A skeleton clad in rusty armor, also wielding a sword and shield, is raising its arm to attack from inside of a dark hallway. In the distance behind the skeleton, you can see the silhouette of the knight's companions from the series, a large yellow worm, and a blue lizard/dragon knight, standing there. The second image, labeled "DLSS 5 On" has the exposure of the screenshot blown out, making the scene look brightly lit, and photorealistic faces on each of the characters in the scene. The shark knight has a Greenland shark face blended onto his head, notably protruding too far out, a realistic skull on the skeleton, a silly vacant lizard head on the knight in the distance, but tinted over-saturated blue, and a yellow-tinted Graboid (the worm monsters from the film series Tremors) head is pasted over the worm's head.$

My birthday is coming up, and I kept wanting to treat myself. So I checked BBTS to see if there were any Godzilla figures that were reasonably priced for Minus One Goji, but didn't find any. I did find a preorder for Millennium Goji, which I am very nostalgic for! Things turned out okay! :D

New shark, who dis? #LowPolyKnights www.patreon.com/posts/new-sh...

My friend and I had a silly idea in Space Marine 2: Set all of your classes you don't play to Ulthuan Grey, Rakarth Flesh for the trim, and grey eyes for the lenses, and have your bots running around cosplaying as unpainted minis. xD

ChrisOfTheDead@chrisofthedead· Mar 1

Heh. And Space Marine 2 was at that same amount of hours played for me a few days ago.

A custom cover art for Halo: The Master Chief Collection featuring the Halo 2, 3, and Infinite helmet design in the center of the art, instead of the official art, which uses the Halo 4 and 5 helmet design. The number icon at the bottom is for how many hours I have played the game (or just left it open, it includes AFK time) and the number is currently at 800.8 hours, which is visually similar to the word "BOOB".

ChrisOfTheDead@chrisofthedead· Feb 27

My custom space shark knight. I typically go for the most "knight-like", though I'm also super nostalgic for the old "vader-mouth" on the Mark VII helmet. And I occasionally go into Operations in just basic default Mark VII marine armor in Blood Ravens colors cause I grew up with Dawn of War 1.

ChrisOfTheDead@chrisofthedead· Feb 27

Heh.

ChrisOfTheDead@chrisofthedead· Feb 25

New Low-Poly Knights Side Quest! Those enchanted swords can be a real pain in the tail. Also on YT in better quality: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TS0o... Inspired by a situation that can happen every so often in Elder Scrolls games. #LowPolyKnights #Fantasy #3DAnimation #Anthro

ChrisOfTheDead@chrisofthedead· Feb 21

Touched up the Halo Flashpoint mini last night. :) Still a few color splotches I want to correct, but for now, I'm happy with it.
