Luka Friedland Standing Behind You, Cheering You Up

every day i wake up and stand in front of my silly little mirror and do my silly little dance and cheer myself up with my silly little delulu affirmations because i have literally no one to talk to in my life (and that’s okay <3)!!!

depression publishing!!! yeah!!!

This artwork is another iteration on theatricality and my own 3D avatar as in my Master’s Thesis as Elevator Speech. It is also similar to Compliment Machine, and the idea for it definitely originated during that time: I created this now between October 2nd and October 6th 2024 (I am very slow and depressed right now), but I can trace it back through my system of lists, dating it back to being on my list^TM since November 15th 2023.

Since the video file had weird stretching issues in the web build that I haven't been able to fix, this is a download-only artwork. Edit 21.10.2024: I figured out a messy way of creating a web build with the video looking kind of close to how it is intended to look like.

The avatar was created using Avaturn + Rokoko Studio, the soundtrack was coded using Sonic Pi, additional art assets via Poly Haven.
