This summer, I lost my PC, and all my art files from the last several years, and notes. I hadn't been backing things up.

I have a new PC, which doesn't want to run the old version of DAZ Studio I was using. The most recent version of DS is an adjustment, and I am not adjusted yet.

I don't know if I'm going to be able to rebuild much of what I did over the last 5-6 years.

Add to this that it seems like no one cares about my artwork. I'm feeling pretty close to done.

Happy New Year, if you're, you know, into that kind of thing.

Playing around with a visual layout right now. I may have four points later. Or three, or five.

I should just be a photographer, lol.

After magnetising this pullover (3D-Age Small Lovely II) with EasyBreast (yes my cartoon breasts are in fact partly third-party), I added a few magnets to the chest & abdomen to patch that. Then I put magnets in the armpits. It worked, but it takes a little while! And I've been lazy! So lazy!

This is actually a reused pose and lights from almost a year ago. Different hair & new camera, so it's not that obvious?

So I haven't been producing artwork for a month. In that time, Twitter has been undercut by new management, Tumblr is allowing artistic nudity, & dA is doing something daft with AI art. I may be back, but what does "back" mean?

(Oh, cool! dA has "Not authorized for inclusion in third-party AI datasets" checked by default? Apparently.)

Updated my Deep Dream Generator account & have been playing with it.
