After a much longer hiatus than I intended, I've finished up some very small projects based on some of the monsters of Final Fantasy IV. This trio of squishy, multi-legged creatures all share a game design, but through the magic of color palette swapping, the game designers were able to create three separate and distinct enemies—the Crawler, the Larva, and the RocLarva. Not making any excuses for my absence this time. The last 47 updates should serve as a testament to the fact that I've been committed to making these projects happen, but sometimes real life gets in the way. Depression is a thing.

So, longtime visitors to the site will notice that I took a long break, for the better part of a year. I'm going to steal a line from Douglas Adams and claim that I was spending a year dead for tax reasons. That's not at all accurate, but it's funnier than the truth, which is that I was depressed and didn't feel like working on anything. (I'm honestly surprised my model paints hadn't all dried up in the interim.) However, I'm trying to ease back into things, and despite the utter misery that was 2021, I'm still committed to finishing up the monsters of Final Fantasy IV. At this point, I'm roughly halfway there! My first projects for 2022 were a comparatively easy pair of creatures to bring to life, namely the Armadilo [sic] and the Ironback. It's nice to finally add something new to the display shelf! I've still been gobbling up tiny plastic animals and decades-old action figures and things on eBay, with the intent of turning them all into projects some day. So, with any luck you'll see something new here next month. However, if 2021 taught me anything, it's that you absolutely cannot predict the future. Guess we'll see in March! |
