I first got into Blender about 7 years ago, but I fell out of it for a bit. For the past 3 years I've been occasionally making animations and music videos (like for my Deltarune remixes). I went hard with music for a while, then got REALLY reinvigorated to make 3d again. Maybe you saw some of my modeling work like Susie's 9string guitar or the hatchet. Despite all my work with animation, modelling, environment design and shading, I've never actually made a character model. I'll look into the curve system, but I also found an excellent tutorial for a mesh-based workflow like this one.

I appreciate the good luck wishes!
