I have the sudden urge to try my hand at 3D art.
I'll make something 3D and post it here hehe.
OOOH I could make us some crusty emotes!
Is blender hard?

I think it depends on what / how much you want to do with it.
For me, I consider myself to have no particular artistic talent, but I can still entertain myself by making interesting shapes just with box-modeling and the subdivision-surface modifier. Hell, election night I was trashed and making plaid patterns all night in the procedural texture thing they have. That shit was great.
If you wanted to do something like a fully animated 3d character or something, that will obviously be harder, with 3d sculpting and animation being their own whole skill-sets. Also "re-topology" is a thing (if you make a 3d sculpt it's a wad of triangles that you can't really use, so you have to re-create the shape on top of the existing shape, but with good topology), and that shit looks miserable to do.
There are loads of blender tutorials on youtube as well, including short and sweet tutorials on how to achieve specific effects / techniques. Keep in mind some of it is tied to annoying "hustle grindset" kinds of content, so it may stink up the algo a little.
