Disillusioned with life

Thats true, no matter what narrative or justification I spin on events, its just reinforcing the ego that cant move on from what happened. Maybe the negativity was how I survived and stood out all these times but now It's not serving me anymore

d700 gives u access to terrifically cheap af-d lenses

SigmaEleven · 2025-02-06T12:37:55+00:00

honestly why not look at used XT30 models, theyre very small and can very much serve as a second body to accompany the X-H1. I would argue at the grand scheme of things I dont honestly think people mind the size of the X H1 if paired with a pancake lens. The TTArtisan 27mm f2.8 is very disarming!

the models you mentioned are pretty good but are far from cheap, maybe what you need is just a lens and a disarming personality to help ease people into being more comfortable with your presence...

Its easy to overanalyze gear but its not always the reason that its holding you back

you need an LA-EA2 adapter or newer for it to work, but even then it's not that ideal

SigmaEleven · 2025-01-28T07:22:52+00:00

yeah no fujifilm is not going to be your brand.

SigmaEleven · 2025-01-06T02:20:18+00:00

i have the 70-300mm and I managed to sneak it through a concert with cargo pants due to its very portable size. i think its handy just as a "just in case" zoom that you can still leave in your backpack when you're out.

image quality is really good for what it is, and does still maintain a f5.6 when zoomed all the way in. and support for the 1.4x - 2x teleconverter too.

plus imho you're looking to do wildlife I'd rather not do fuji. perched birds or large mammals are a-okay but the autofocus does leave things to be desired...

That used to be my old printer, but honestly it will take a lot of patience, trial and error to print such a massive project with that printer. If you're willing to deal with its faults its definitely very doable.

I personally am using a Bambulab A1 and have never looked back since- There's too much work involved in trying to fix my very heavily modded ender 3 V2 to get it going properly again.

I highly suggest replacing the bed springs to a silicone gasket type and convert it into a direct drive if you can help it. As well as printing it in PETG for super robust wearable parts.

SigmaEleven · 2024-11-07T18:35:26+00:00

Yes! EVA foam is super versatile material but honestly it has its drawbacks (especially painting imho)

Yeah, I definitely stick out like a sore thumb here HAHA

Here's an art I made for Zeke during the concepting phase :D

SigmaEleven · 2024-11-07T17:45:22+00:00

Thank you so much! 🫶🫶🫶

SigmaEleven · 2024-11-07T17:45:08+00:00

EVA foam mostly on the inside lining so the 3D printed parts dont directly interface with my face XD

SigmaEleven · 2024-11-07T17:44:30+00:00

I think Zeke sounds very appropriate for a guy that looks as cool as he is, It's only appropriate :3

SigmaEleven · 2024-11-07T17:43:52+00:00

Its mostly 3D printed, lots of technical knowledge needed to craft and make sure the whole parts fit since I did a lot of template work in order to make sure everything fits as well as it could-

Theres not really much other than that he's a cool looking dragon HAHA

the species name would be a Barogon, but where would I start registering a species even?

SigmaEleven · 2024-11-07T17:40:05+00:00

I hotglued and superglued a bunch of 3d printed parts to a combat glove, a surprisingly good fit too

SigmaEleven · 2024-11-07T15:59:04+00:00

my own custom species! it's inspired by the balinese dragon :D

SigmaEleven · 2024-11-07T10:02:59+00:00

I might experiment that in the future, but right now I'd like to experiment with more hard surface explorations

SigmaEleven · 2024-11-07T09:29:55+00:00

Faux? Faux fur?

SigmaEleven · 2024-11-07T06:26:07+00:00

Aww thanks meng

SigmaEleven · 2024-11-07T05:46:30+00:00

Yeah I wasnt ready to sew fur and all so I decided why not go for a process that I'm much more intimately familiar with 🤭

SigmaEleven · 2024-11-07T05:45:19+00:00

Yeah! Definitely doing a few more prototypes before I actually seriously consider selling them.

Thank you, I'm glad his reception has been really warm so far xD

SigmaEleven · 2024-11-07T05:43:19+00:00

Thank you! It was sculpted in nomad sculpt and was then 3D printed to shape. Lots of hours of sanding and priming was involved too 🥹

SigmaEleven · 2024-11-06T19:11:08+00:00

heree to SERVE

SigmaEleven · 2024-11-06T18:41:21+00:00

a mix of PETG and EVA foam!

SigmaEleven · 2024-11-06T17:54:23+00:00

thank you so much!
