Requests

Patron requested some quick shots of the guys having fun in the background, so here are a few quick renders.

Adjustments + More

Noticed a mistake or two, fixed them up and also added a small extended version for you all.  There is also a bonus test I did of "mixing" the two animations, though it sadly does not loop as cleanly.  Working on fixing that for future animations.

Fallen Angel - Section A

Still got stuff to get done, but not wanting to wait any longer on posting.  Enjoy the start of the mini-comic and one (technically two!) new animation from it.  More will be coming soon, including slightly longer form versions of these animations and of course other animations as they get rendered.

The short form animation will be going up today and I will roll out the comic itself o...

Soon

First part of the comic should be done tomorrow.

Hell... or Heaven?

Draft teaser.  Hope to be done next week.

Comic SoonTM

It's taking a bit longer then I hoped as I really wanted to put some good effort into it, but I have a Darksiders comic in the works.  Enjoy this little bonus shot I came up with today while testing out the scene space and rigging.  While the comic will be open to all I am planning a few unique animations and frames for you here on patreon as a thank you for sticking through my last few months of troubles and reinvention.  Cheers yall.

The Fringe

In ages long past, the short industrialists known as the Thikin came over the eastern land bridge to the continent of Baskan.  When one of the grand spires fell from the heavens, landing directly into a nearby mountain range, it unearthed an active volcano.  Wanting to study the spire, the Thikin built a layered city in the heart of the volcano.

Unlike most of the other races, and likely due to their mysterious past, the Thikin barons used the knowledge given by the spire to c...

Jungle Updates

I have expanded the jungle region, thus it required I change some of the old map.  This is now just a section of the jungle, with even darker, more dangerous areas to the east.  I have also added some new settlements and altered a few names.

Poppy Cock

Trying some wacky screenshot background stuff.  Got another version of this rendering.

Fallen Angel

The Last of the Hellguard

Just showing a little experiment.

Yordle Yorbs

I barely know anything about them but they seem cute enough.

The Second Protagonist

My writers and I have been going over a possible story narrative for a small RPG next year or the one after.

We want to give people the choice of picking between two protagonists, male or female, in which the story can change slightly based on who you pick.  We already got our first protagonist in the rebirth of Grok, but we seem a bit torn on the female protagonist choice and so I wanted to see what you guys think.

Elf Model WIP

Oh hey look, a model actually in the works!

Say hello the what will be the "base elf", commissioned by the super talented Floreum.  Going to be working on creating hairs and clothing and other parts so that I can have her as a basis in a new swap rig for many different elven characters.

Updates - Project Aurex

Decided to do a few big changes on Patreon.

Starting off, I am not going to stop animating "fan works".  I have one in the works right now but just dealing with conversion pains.  You can forget how quick animations can go when you have like an entire harem of models to work with.  Going down to almost nothing again means dealing with all the shit I dealt with before and little to fill the dead space.  

Sorry for the these transfer pains. 2019-05-31 18:29:19 +0000 UTC View Post

Orctastic

Come on, you know these fuckers had to be made sooner or later.  Once again concept t-pose draft made by the talented Reva. 

The Red Devil

Plunder Row.  It was not the most graceful of names, but it encompassed much of the energy of Dawnbreak's southern district.  A popular hang out for scoundrels and pirates, it was also the place many of the merchants gathered to fence goods and deal in black market materials.  Though the Central Delegation hated this mockery of law, the Preservers were too short staffed to enforce order.

This turned out to be a very good thing for any and all that Hunt.

"How far now...

A Story

I want to focus my mind a little bit more on specific model converts, but to do that, I feel I need to tell a story with one set of models for a bit.  I always mainly focused on WoW and I enjoyed the story elements that could come out with my characters or the interactions they had with game characters.  I feel that is what many of you likes too, besides the fucking anyways.

The big issue is, I am not sure what setting to go with that I have models working for.  Then I re...

Creation Continues

Just a few more WIP t-pose drawings done by Reva, covering human and non-corrupted elves.  Next up will be orc, then hopefully my first model.

Subverse

It's official. 

I am signing on as an animator for Subverse!  

StudioFOW was generous enough to offer me the job after what happened a month back, even before the Kickstarter exploded like it did.  They gave me ample room to think it over while the dust settled and I wrapped my head around what I was going to do, and after taking that time, I realized even just the experience was going to be worth it.  I will be starting personal tra...

Delven Teaser - Ref Sheet

Enjoy this ref sheet for the Delven, the form taken by corrupted elves including this universes version of Lakuu.  Crossing my fingers the model will be in the works soon.

Ref sheet commissioned from the awesome Reva.

Lakuu

Art commissioned by RKD!

Though her elven body was corrupted long ago, and she is driven by the same hunger that effects all tainted, her heart remained pure and her idealism unshaken.  She uses her knowledge and abilities to defeat other tainted whenever and where-ever they may appear, at much great risk to herself should her existence be discovered by the Hunters.

My first real concept...

The Hunt

It was a warm morning in the city of Dawnbreak, the sun slowly peeking over the circular walls, their inner faces being assaulted by choking vines and vibrant foliage invading from the thick jungles outside.  The stone streets were busier than usual, a few ships had ported before first light, with much needed food and timber from the northern realms of Haven.

As a Spire City, it was larger then most of the various villages that dotted the land, but it was still small in comparison ...

Stories

While it will take some time to get covered with visual media of my new setting, I was thinking of doing some light writing based on the settings.  It helps me better flesh out what I want with it and will fill up some of the dead space.  What you guys think?

There is other big news coming, so stay tuned.

Tryouts

Been messing with a ton of new models to see how well they work.  This one sadly had some big errors so I am starting over on the rigging, but I wanted to post what I tried out on this adult Azula model. This is a pack made by FPSBlyck and the original model was crafted by Skuddbutt.

Still going to truck along on converts till I get a few easy to w...

Mixing

Blender learning has been going well, but I find the program leaves a little to be desired in the pipeline.  I am likely going to wait till the official release of 2.8 before going back into it whole hog again.  

Until then I am using what I learned in Blender, but using it back in C4D using a great plugin called Cycles4D.  It basically puts the cycles render engine into C4D, and so I have been giving it a try now that I understand the material node system a bit better. 2019-05-03 17:49:56 +0000 UTC View Post

First Try

Going to wobble back and forth I think till I get a better idea on what I can do in this program, but enjoy my first every attempt at a blender animation.

Phew

Blender is kicking my ass in a lot of areas and has some things that feel so ass backwards. but I felt the same way about C4D back in the day.

I decided to do a simple animation as my first ever attempt at animating within Blender itself.  I always loved Mets' Juri model but was never able to convert it properly, so decided it was going to be her turn.  Enjoy this teaser until the render is done.

Also be aware this is new territory for me.  I can tr...

Map Fun

Inkarnate it rather fun to play with.  

Say hello to the Akaran Jungles, a wild realm in the south, and ancestral home of the elves.  It's the starting point of a story involving my own fantasy world that I hope to bring to life this year.

Practice

Most of my focus has been on getting stuff fleshed out for my own setting, but I feel I need to keep animating too, so practicing with some other rips.  These are a bit painful to work with right now due to joint and face rig problems, but hopefully get those ironed out as I go.  Hope you enjoy this little test.

Also yes that is W2 Triss, W3 Triss didn't like me. *sad face*

Stream Postponed + Fantasy News

Going to postpone the learning stream till Thursday.  Anxiety is high and I decided to take a little more time to center myself.  Honestly, I am still somewhat in mourning, but I am close to getting past it.  Still expect a new animation on Friday, hopefully better than ever.

Also, I plan to have a few posts to let you guys help flesh out my own fantasy setting.  I already have a troupe of writers helping me, and some willing artists and modelers on ...
