I am confident there'll be a ton of people out there wondering what is going on, on my end, the slow progress I make to the current projects and et cetera. I haven't abandoned any of my projects as some may think, despite me continuously reassuring you all otherwise. A lot of shit have just been going on with my life recently and most notable a rather rough relationship break-up that really pulled me into a black hole I couldn't easily get out from again.
Since then things have been kinda... meh. I've been back here a few times saying all is good, and for the most part it was, it's just the same old other issues I have that sometimes return and makes life though for me.
I always intended to learn 3d modeling as it could get handy for me both modding, but also in my professional work life. I took up Millenia's Ithaca m37 shotgun tutorial from his Youtube channel (a tutorial he pointed me to back when I first officially started modding) and created my first high poly 3d model ever. I quickly learned and gained routine and experience with the tools I had at hand and decided to give it another go, without the tutorial and created Ithaca m37 shotgun v2.0 - this version in many ways resemble the original reference picture much more and adding missing detail.

I have yet to actually make the low poly version, unwrap UV map, bake normal map and texture. But the latter stuff should be no problem for me ;)
Hopefully this will eventually lead to my my dream when I first started modding to contribute some original content to the community in the shape of new weapons and armor, new beards and hair styles (though stuff, but I will get there..) and other stuff.
So, check back regularly and if I don't let myself be heard, then don't hesitate to poke me once in a while.
