Zin’s corner

Hi howdy!

I’m the webmaster here! As aforementioned, I tend to go by Zin. Though this whole website is really just my own personal playground, I figured it’d be nice to have my own little page! Like the cool kids on Neocities do!

Who are you?

I’m just Zin! I’ve been a pokemon fan ever since Gen 4 – though the passion kind of kicked into full gear in Gen 5, when a certain illusionary fox and green-haired internet heartthrob captured my heart.

And, uh… nothing much has changed since then? I mean, aside from Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire coming out and throwing my Pokemon-based storytelling for a loop.
I’d still make plenty of Pokemon-based stories before ORAS, but with ORAS and the Delta Episode came the beginning of a new era – a convoluted plot with seemingly no end in sight… archived here!

Outside of Pokemon, I greatly enjoy Touhou, and anything to do with 3D character customization! Though The Sims will always have my heart with that.
Speaking of which, that’s what I do outside of writing too many words about Pokemon! I’m a freelance 3DCG developer who does both small commissions and professional work (wow! i can say that now!) – though I do have experience in modeling, my primary area of work is rigging/skinning and porting. My program of choice is Blender 2.79 and I refuse to use the newer versions unless I really have to.

Another thing I think is important about me is I am disabled! I do not think this is a thing to be ashamed of so I say it proudly.
I suffered from a TBI in early 2017 that practically wiped my memory of that year and left me with a whole lot of nonsense going on – it’s kind of wild how much just hitting your head can effect. This worsened my chronic pain and fatigue quite a bit, but I’m still chugging. baby! Even if I have to set my art program’s stabilizer settings to max, oops.

An additional thing worsened by the TBI was dyslexia – I hope to catch them before too long, but I make a lot of typos, despite being a writer! I actually very much appreciate if they are pointed out to me because then I can fix them, so I don’t mind it : D

It should come as no surprise (i hope), but I am very openly autistic as well! It’s a bit more evident to how it effects my life outside the web, but it’s probably the reason I’m still rambling on about Pokemon all these years later.

I feel like the combo and intersection between everything going on in my brain and body is a big impact on my creative process and how I develop my characters and the world, so I figure it’s important to bring up!

After all, Pokeau was a world born as a way of coping and processing things as a confused teenager – themes around mental health and different abilities run deep within it, even though it has grown to be so much more now.

Modding projects

When I was a kid, I’d always imagine scenarios I wished were in games – like adding in my own OCs or making things look different. Now, as an adult with blender knowledge and too much patience… I can make that dream a reality!

I love modding all kinds of games, and these are pages dedicated to my ‘modding projects’ and the sidestories that surround them! While they’re all tied to Pokeau in some way, the cast members here are unique and not present in the full roster, as they usually are just paintovers of the existing NPCs in each game.

Diary

  • Diary; February 22nd, 2024

    Hello! Life’s been busy, and the diary has been blank… so, I guess this marks the first entry of the new year? Albeit a bit late…

    January and the first half of February were very, very rough months. I was off an essential medication due to a mixup and the withdrawal kind of felt like hell on earth – and I ended up making 3 trips to the ER. Fun! Thankfully, I’m back on the meds again and have been feeling a lot more like a person, now.

    I’ve been really taking a particular heavy interest in 3D animation now that I’m feeling better, seemingly right where I left off. I feel like I’m improving every time I animate, and it’s super wild to look back at the animations I created at around this time last year! I really, really want to finish something longform eventually, but I still feel that’ll be a ways out…

    I had a really good day today, though. A few days ago I was able to reunite with my absolute best friend after a year of being apart, and today I was able to meet up with another really good friend, too! I also had a random encounter with a super friendly man while waiting for my family after the meetup – his voice and smile were super warm and he said very nice things to me.

    Hoping I can get some more website progress done again. It feels like everything is in a big transitional period of completeness, and I want to actually… make things complete.

    Oh, also! New year, new diary theming, I guess?
