Hi guys!

This post was in the works for quite a while, but its finally ready!

I have decided to update my profile on here, and rebrand not only my profile picture and header, but also my name as well. This was a long time coming, as I have been thinking about this for at least a year.

Ever since I gave my life to Christ, and looked back at my account and work, I realized that the name "ChronicAlcoholic" was not the most flattering. Nor was it very Christlike either. I grew to be ashamed of it since I found it was not fitting in this new chapter of my life I have started. I wanted something nicer that be pleasing, along with setting a better example. Not only that, but my prior name was also too edgy for my liking and I found came off as a bit pretentious. Telling people you go by ChronicAlcoholic online is probably not the greatest look either.

I missed the days of having my original usernames, "LittleWhisky/LittleWhiskey" and "Tinker-Totter" (for those who know that one, you really are an OG, lol.) I wanted something more lighthearted and goofy, one that would stick.

Then I realized that I had one in my pocket this WHOLE TIME! For those who have me on Discord, I have gone by my new alias on there already, in fact for several years.

When I realized what I had at my disposal, not only a name I have already been recognizable by, but one with a different connotation and silly flavor, I knew I just had to use it on here. So, behold!

I am now Zucchini King!

I am a lot happier with this, and the change probably won't be too drastic. It'll be easier for my friends who have called me Zucchini or Zucc already, so I hope this makes it nicer. I will also be updating pages to come to fix my name when need be.

The model seen in the new profile picture and header was also done by me like the old one. The skull I made beforehand was actually a test model I made that I ended up taking a liking too. I later used it for my profile picture. About a month ago though, when I looked back at it I was a little saddened since I believed it did not demonstrate my new skill and abilities. So, I took up the task to make a new model, one more anatomically accurate and with better topology.

I than textured the new skull, eyes, and cigar in Substance Painter. Speaking of that, I can now actually texture paint! Hooray! The old skull and cigar was textured by my man @kiroloser (go check him out, he is an awesome dude). Fun fact, the eye texture on the old model is the Nightmare Before Disney eye texture. I had taken a big liking to NBD at the time and decided to use it on it. But this time I wanted to do the texture work myself.

I use to not be the greatest texture artist, but ever since I got ahold of Substance its really made texturing fun and enjoyable for me. I have been learning things as I go! So everything done here was all by me, and I am very proud of how it turned out.

The new header is also done by @phasma like the one previously. Shoutout to him as well, he has been and forever will be the GOAT.

Anyways, that is enough of me blabbering. I talk too much. I hope you guys enjoyed this little update post. I have been working on importance projects in the background, its all just taking time for me to reveal more about what I am doing. Rest assured though, I will be making more posts in the future.

Just bear with me.

Thank you very much for reading, and God bless your souls.
