While I mentioned this awhile ago on birdsite, I should point out here that I make 3D art using Sculptris and Blender. I'm reasonably efficient at it, too.
Here are some art trades I made of others' characters during July alone -- 68 shown, 69 in all (Nice). These were all for Art Fight, and I've been looking for excuses to make more since then.
If there's any interest, I could open a few commission slots?

Multiple times this morning I've heard someone tap 2-3 times on the windows of the house. Like you'd tap on a window to check if anyone's there? So I'd freak out, rush over to the window to see no one there, look all around the house to find no one in view anywhere nearby...
The last time it happened right next to me, and I jumped up and saw a very dumb/confused woodpecker fly off. XD

Yet again, a Hawaiian federal judge has blocked the current Republican Administration's attempts at establishing racist travel bans. ♥️♥️♥️
