I was just scrolling through Pinterest, enjoying my day, and I see this. What in the holy hell is this?!?! I get that its a horse-skunk, but what???? What is happening here? Is this a children's book???

A picture of a book titled "Homer the Hunk", featuring a blonde person petting a horse-skunk creature. They are sitting in a grassy meadow with giant hair curlers sticking out the ground. A beautiful mountain is in the distance.

Also penguins (thay I could've sat and watched for hours), a shark cookie that was too precious not to buy, and some very unphotogenic rays thay were adorable beyond description (and much slimmer than I expected)

Went to an aquarium for my birthday and had a great time! My faves were definitely the octopus, moon jellies, and the seahorses :3

Was doing some training at work, and I saw some fantastic illustrations of people. These people are too real 😂

Updating an old project of mine, and finally made a little fire particle system for it 😀

3D scene of a campfire with marshmallow stick surrounding it and tree stumps as seats by the side. An A-frame cabin is in the background, along with a camper van. All of this surrounded by trees and grass under a blue sky

I think I squeezed the juice out of this project. Not satisfied, but I had fun working with more foliage up close like this!

3D rendering of some spring plants. Including dead nettle, onion grass, chickweed and grass.

Michaela@michaelaakcottrill· Apr 23

Not finished, but starting to get things arranged in a less sketched manner. I just don't know which camera angle I like better, of if it should be further away. Nothing feels quite right 🤔

It's starting to come together :D

I love going on hikes and seeing all the wonderful things growing and blooming this time of year 🌸🌱🍄

Michaela@michaelaakcottrill· Apr 8

Just need to model some chickweed and texture it all! Can't wait to see what this looks like all together :)

Beautifully lit photo of a jalapeno bagel with jalapeno bacon cream cheese. The sunshine glows around like a halo. As of the angels themselves have blessed it this day.

I've got leaves!

May be so taken with the spring plants that I'm taking a shot with modeling a little scene with them 🤭

3D models of onion grass in various shapes. 4 models total standing together in various stages of being bent. No textures, just gray sticks so far

I've really been enjoying looking at all the spring plants that pop up even before the dandelions start to flower. Every time I walk the dog we are going through huge swathes of dead nettle with the grass, onion grass, and chickweed surrounding them. Just had to sketch them🌱✨💚

Spending the day celebrating the coming of spring! Cleaned up the garden and started some seeds, and enjoyed a walk through the chickweed and dead nettle this morning. Next is Quiche Lorraine and asparagus tonight is for dinner! Happy Spring everyone!

A close up picture of a small mound of dead nettle. Hand drawn outlines are on some of the leaves with the words "Happy Spring" at the top, which are surrounded by two daisy flower emojis.

Dog walking in the morning and the squirrels and birds were soooo active! Got this adorable shot of this chubby guy just chilling on the side of a broken tree 😊

This little catburger is soo cute! :3 Super happy with just working without constraints and doing something cute today!

Alrighty, I wanted to make a cute little cat burger! I got the base mesh into Zbrush. It's been a minute and I forgot how much it hated tris, so it took me a minute to clean it up before I could get it in ( 🙄 ) Hoping to give it a little more life now!

Another plane I really enjoyed was the Standard J-1 from WW1. I wouldn't have thought colors and patterns were used like this in war time, even just for a training model, but still very cool to see! #NationalAirForceMusuem #refrence #materialrefrence #planes #historical

A low shot of the Standard J-1 Plane from WW1

Standard J-1 Plane from WW1 exhibit description from the National Air Force Museum. It reads " The US Air Service used the a standard J-2 during World War 1 for primary flight instruction. Although 1,601 J-1's were produced by four manufacturers (Standard, Dayron-Wright, Fisher Body, and Wright-Martin), the J-1 never achieved the popularity of the more numerous JN-4 'Jenny'.
The fabric covering fuselage has been removed to illustrate the wire-braced wooden construction typical for the aircraft of the time. It also reveals the dual controls and relatively simple cockpit instrumentation. The black tank in front of the forward cockpit is the fuel tank."

Nieuport 28 plane from WW1! It has the Gnome N-9 engine that I posted photos of the other day. The paint jobs of the planes started getting interesting around this point. I'll show off some more, soon 😉 #NationalAirForceMuseum #Refrences #Art #Planes

I'm sorry, since when do I have famous mascots liking my content? 😳 If I'd know this was gonna happen. I would've started posting engine references forever ago

A Bluesky notification saying that Chiitan, the famous mascot from Japan, liked my post about a historical airplane engine

Went to the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force for my partners birthday, and got lots of good references (before my phone died 🤦). Here's the Gnome N-9 Rotary Engine! The display was cool & showed how it moved. I should've gotten a video More photos coming soon! #refrences #engines #art

Been working on LODs lately so nothing pretty to show art-wise. But! I do have a picture of a little lady big at work on my strawberry plants! So enjoy that!
