It’s National Moth week! Tonight, leave the porch light on and see what types of moths live in your neighborhood. (Just don’t let them in if you value your wool sweaters.)
If you live in Eastern North America, you may see Actias luna, the luna moth. Adult luna moths have only vestigial mouth-parts and do not feed; this phase of their life cycle is dedicated only to mating and laying eggs.

Oddworld Abe’s Legacy

I couldn’t decide on calling this “Next Gen Abe” or “Oddworld Abe’s Legacy”. I decided on Legacy because that feels like it could be a good name if the series were to pick up where it left off. I have always wanted to try creating my own version of Abe, one of my favorite game Characters. I decided I would only create a bust, and create it in full detail. I studied over 10 reference images, a handful of videos, and all the different styles that Abe has been created as, to create the version I find most appealing to me. I also used this as an opportunity to try out Renderman 20, and render in the new RIS mode. I hope to get a chance to work on an Oddworld game in the future.
