Oh, yes, Happy New Year to you too, my friend. Thank you, but well, I'm just investing more time and effort into my most resent models, it's not that i improved overall, i just stopped uploading lazy-corrupted work.
The only thing that changed, is that i've more experience now in modelling than before and i found a few good tricks, like how to make a model have anims from many different models without using tools like anim transfer or re-editing it in MDLVIS.
I think modelling is actually 20% inspiration and 80% experience in most cases. The icons you make are somewhat more unique as they don't rly consist of ingame ressources mainly.
