Learning Topology (BTS)

Hey All! 

Thanks for everyone's support -no seriously, big thanks- to the new faces and the old, its been a big and busy few months for me irl and I haven't had as much time for animations as I'd like. Nonetheless I've been working on a pretty interesting new technique that should help when animating my models. "Topology" is the topic of interest and it essentially allows me to contort my characters more efficiently. So poses that weren't possible before should be more p...

Afterglow

A sign off for the series with these two characters. A little inflated mutt and a very happy lion, who doesn't seem to be able to stop >:3

The lion character belongs to SamT517 on Furaffinity

This wasn't meant to take -quite- as long as it did, unfortunately,  I got a little carried away with the details. Also work has been very hectic. This is probably something I need to work on, the details that is, not the work ;3

WIP - Coal & Duke

I've animated a little sign off for the two characters with Coal standing triumphant over a swollen doggo! 

I don't think i'm going to end up using the cave environment in the finished animation as I prefer how the characters pop against a clean background. It also adds a *ton* of time to render. 

This being said, I thought I'd share them here so you guys can see what's coming up :D Two slightly different angles with varying lighting setups. 

Weight training

Although this wasn't the mounting he expected, Duke is happy to serve the lion as best he can... 

This piece was done upon request for the commissioner SamT517 over on FA of his chonky Lion character Coal! I had a lot of fun making the piece work, especially the chain tug! I'll be including that in to some future animations down the line.

I'm already working on another "sign off" animation with these two characters. Although this anim features weight play, the next & last...

Some early pose WIPS

So before I make an animation, I take the models / rigs for a "test ride." This is a small collection of some early renders I did of the two models interacting. I create all the models & the rigs myself, because of this it's really hard to know what they're capable of when I begin animating. When I started making 3D models I was very naïve in thinking that when you make a character, it would be capable of doing anything... Unfortunately that couldn't be further from the truth and now I a...

My next animation & easter egg

My next animation involves a little lynx character I've been working on! I thought it would be cool to add a little easter egg. Post a 2D headshot of your character or if your don't have that, your characters name and ill work it in to the next animation. If you're interested just reply with a link! 

Feeding time
