I've gotten a few personal projects to almost completion. 

The only thing stopping me from finishing is I want to make solid rigs, so I can get good poses and/or some idle animations for these characters.

Found this promising looking tutorial for blender: https://gumroad.com/l/the-art-of-rigging-in-blender 

Gonna be focusing on this character first: Concept by Knight Zhang https://www.artstation.com/arucelli

After that's all settled, I can finally get all these projects out of my to-do folder.

Here's the rest of the crew:

This one's basically done. OG Concept

Bowser & Jr-Concept by Taran Fiddler: https://www.artstation.com/tfiddlerart

The Salmonlings-Concept by Nicholas Kole: https://www.artstation.com/happyrock

Can't wait to finally add this skill to my belt.
