Edit (7/26/22): Leaving this post here for this week. Will be back next post with more news. Sorry dudes.

Edit (7/28/22): So, just wanted to give a quick life update. I went to the doctor today because I've been breaking out in to hives lately for no reason. I've been feeling really crappy lately. That's why I'm not doing a proper post. Just feel pretty awful lately. The doctor believes it's stress related.

So Madness Combat 9.5 Dropped. Did not plan that not even gonna lie. I posted my shit and do my usual scrumming around the art portal and was like hey there is a lot of Madness art today, It's LIKE EVERYONE IS ON THE SAME WAVELENGTH! Turns out I'm the asshole completely out of the loop. OOPS!

So if you like Madness and If you're sticking around here today, I assume you do so got check it out. And give @Krinkels some love.

I needed to take a break for project honey. June was an extremely stressful month for me. I need a small break from the normal grind...

So anyways, Felt like doing Madness again kids.

(Oof, the porn ads really kill the atmosphere on these but I can't in all good conscience think of giving these anything lower than an A rating. Oh well.)

So back in 2019 I wanted to redo my old Madness Models from 2015. They are super rough around the edges. So from between 2019 and now I've gotta say I've learned a fuck ton about Rigging. So I decided to go back and actually finish the 2019 Models. They were kind of unusable by my current standards. Honestly Most of the work I did on this current iteration the model was entirely work on the Hands. I was never really satisfied with the hands and how they were rigged.

2022 Model of Madness

But now I think this is probably the best iteration so far. I was worried that they eyes would make her super uncanny, But honestly I really think she looks cute with them. I wanted to add a neck But none of my attempts really worked. I wanted to be able to chop their head off in a realistic way but nothing really fit well in my opinion.

The whole Idea behind my interpretation of Madness is entirely based in grounding it in reality... Wrapped reality. Adding necks would have been a way to make the gore more visceral and and frankly disturbing. That said I decided it's just not worth it trying to make a neck work. The idea of floating limbs is far more fun a concept to explore anyways. The Madness series is no stranger to that.

I wanted to make this a much larger set, I plan on working on the rest of the set soon. I wanted to explore a number of concepts and Idea beyond my Ideas for Tricky (Which I feel I've beating in to the ground like dead horse with out actually explaining it, someday... ) Plus I need to finish updating the Male Model and working on more than one GUN!

I've got a ton of Ideas for madness related stuff. Lately I've really sat down and really though through a lot of the ideas I've had and I feel like I've really developed some good connective tissue for all my ideas.

Anyways that's all I have for today.

See ya soon.
