My most complete work to date, Walled Garden is another 🔥🔥🔥 collab with

GM, good people! Here's a bit of R&D I call "Tangled Dance". Some 6 months ago I did a simplified version of this idea in
#Blender3d
, and now wanted to re-do it in
#Houdini
to see how the physically accurate movement would feel.

SELF-PORTRAIT AS A DANCING QUARTET.
Just a technical study for my upcoming project which will be, grander, better and more personal than anything I’ve done so far. Check out some behind-the-scenes video in the comment below:

OLD SCHOOL
Old school, just like me. I am having so much fun with these that I almost feel guilty. Also I am coming with some strange new set ups. More of these creatures are coming. But how should we call them? Handmen? Handies? Fingaros? Give me a hand here... Thanks :)

ARTIST STATEMENT 👇
Hi 👊! I'm a designer by day, and a 3D artist by night.
After 25 years in design, being Dr Formalyst allows me to step away from my day work and experiment creatively without the burden of rational thinking.

ALMOST HUMAN
Making an almost-human form in an almost-human way: a procedural 3D model that drives the AI output. This is done in Blender using a fantastic "AI Render" add-on (look for it!) that's basically a Blender interface to Stable Diffusion img2img functionality.

Officially sick and tired of social media. What's the point of even trying, if an artist's entire livelihood can be ruined by 1 malicious person in 10 seconds, reporting the post? No way to reason against algorithms. Art and the world have never been so centralized as nowadays.

If you don't have a vocabulary and sensitivity to experience an art piece and what it can mean to you, then economical terms like scarcity are the only way for you to establish a sense of value that you can cling to.
