We are seven days away from the anticipated release of my next album, Restructure!
This album is a great selection of GavOnyx's work from 2018 and 2019. This album marks the point in which GavOnyx begins his journey to becoming a brilliant composer. While his first few albums were mostly getting used to the software and getting the hang of this composing stuff, Restructure features his first real works of art and compositional genius. You'll hear this in pieces like "Ru" and "Cougar Boi."
Make sure to follow GavOnyx on spotify to hear it when it releases!

Thanks for all your support!
In this day and age no platform allows musicians to thrive. So I have decided to create a way for my those who enjoy what I create to help me out financially. Here's a simple link anyone can visit to give me a boost.
Any amount helps. Consider giving what you think the music is worth to you.
I have opted to go with paypal rather than patreon because paypal is more direct and doesn't take as much as patreon.
I decided to do this because no platform out there is sufficient. YouTube doesn't give artists money unless they have a certain amount of subscribers and even then the amount is pitiful. Spotify is also a let down in many ways. And don't get me started with soundcloud. And even if I become a hit, the only way I would make any real money is from concerts, but that isn't likely to happen any time soon.
I am going to set up a telegram channel to essentially mirror these posts and also one to hold my youtube videos.
As always, you can visit my telegram channel t.me/AuxyMusic to get access to mine and MattC's music before it releases on digital platforms like spotify. If you do frequent this channel I highly recommend sharing and donating.
I recently set up another channel, t.me/GavOnyxNexus, as the main way to access all my other channels. This includes channels dedicated to videos, images, and stickers that I create and produce.
Thank you for your support!
Note: Anyone who donates $25.00 or more will be thanked personally by me and may have their name listed on my various sites (like this one) as an 'Executive Producer' for the album in the works. Just contact me either through a note on paypal or via telegram: t.me/GavOnyx
Note: My next album to be released is the anticipated "Restructure" set to release November 17th. For this album, I will award any and all donors with the title of "Executive Producer."
Again, Thank you.
I've got some new music coming to all your favorite streaming/music services next month!
This album is worth a listen to when it comes out. The last piece in the album –Ru– is certainly the best piece in all my currently released albums.

I finally completed my project to make a scout trooper helmet. It took over 45 hours of printing time (printing at .3 mm layer height) and over 10 hours of sanding/painting/other work. It ended up costing around $55 as well. But it's finally finished! (and to boot, because it covers my mouth and nose it counts as a "facial covering" so I can wear that in stores instead of a normal mask like all the pleeebs).
The process and materials I used to make it are using modelling acrylic to fix any major issues; sanding it down, gradually getting to 400 grit sandpaper; using 2 in one primer/spray paint; painting the details with not-spray-paint; using thick foam weather stripping to add comfort and support; and using window tinting as a visor.
Now, as cool as it is, it's not perfect. There are a lot of things I would do differently if/when I make another. Mostly, I would copy the process of the youtuber 'Galactic Armory.' He makes these things for a living and has got the process down to get the speed and ease and quality he wants. Here's a quick rundown.
Use Bondo putty to hide the layer lines
Sand the bondo carefully using a powered sanding tool
use filler/primer to fill any thing missed by the bondo and to prime the surface
buy actual helmet pads rather than using weather stripping
buy a tinted face shield rather than window tint so I can see more easily
All in all, it turned out really well. It's comfy, it didn't cost too much, and it looks flipping awesome.

Here's the Money shots:
(the first two pictures are before the paint job and visor were added)
I've had a 3d printer for a while now (the FLSUN QQS). Ever since I got it I've wanted to make something big and useful. So I decided to try to print the helmet of a Scout Trooper from Star Wars ep 6.
I of course did a few test prints to work dial in the settings. I was using Cura and doing these tests on a new full roll of white PLA. The manufacturer was Overture and boy oh boy, it sucked! Under extrusion galore. I went looking around online to find out why and I came across an old reddit thread explaining that the user was also experiencing under extrusion with Overture PLA. The user decided to weigh the Overture PLA against a higher quality PLA brand and found out that the Overture stuff weighed less! Apparently this stuff is less dense than other PLA brands. Yuck!
I also tried printing it at .4 mm layer height but it never seems to work. I ended up printing the whole thing at .3 mm layer height and just doing that immediately helped. I turned up the Flow rate to 110% and the extruder temp to 220 C for good measure (the upper rating for overture pla).
After doing the test prints I was ready to print all the parts. I decided to try to print the thing in 4 sections. The Top half of the helmet, the bottom half, the mask and the visor. I cut the helmet in half using blender and removed the built in water marks (the link to the guy who made the model down below). I also cut a small concave area for my ears using the boolean modifier.
Each of these 4 pieces took more than 8 hours to print. The mask was the fastest at 8 & 1/2. The visor took 9 hours, and the two halves of the helmet took 11 hours each! I had the speed at 60 mm per second for inner walls and infill, 30 mm for outer walls, and the infill as cubic and 12% density. I even scaled the models down by 5% to fit my head better. I knew it was gonna be a long print time but I guess I wasn't expecting 10 hours average per part!
At this point all the big stuff has been printed and I only need to print the details. I'm in the process of sanding and painting all the big stuff right now. Enjoy some pictures!

I have a few sticker packs for telegram that I'm making. I have one of the Earl of Lemongrab from the TV show Adventure Time. One of various characters from a couple youtube videos. And my latest project is making a sticker pack of the character GiR from the movie "Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus."
I like them all but the newest GiR sticker pack is by far the best looking and most consistent.
I also have a reaaaaly old sticker pack of various Invader Zim characters from the TV show. This sticker pack somehow got out (I can see the stats because I made the pack) and became very popular (even tho the quality is poor).
I of course used GIMP to make all of these stickers.
Feel free to download and share any or all of these Telegram sticker packs!
Here's the lionks to get em.

My second Album, Moldies, is coming to all the places on Sep 20! It's the "B side" to my first album. In my personal opinion most of the pieces on Moldies aren't as good as Oldies, but if you enjoyed Oldies, Moldies will give you that same vibe.
I have a link to it that works for spotify users,
