Anniversary Art Stream January 4th

We have been on this Patron adventure for almost an entire year and what a year it has been. It is crazy to think I wanted to start a patreon years ago but was always too scared to do it until I went for it in 2020 and it has actually been extremely healthy for me. In a way it has turned into a place where I can share my ideas and feel like I can say a lot more and show more than I usually can on a venue like twitter. 

I do want to give extra special thanks to the first people that...

Fursuit eyes (a new take on how to make them)

I have always loved how domed eyes look on Disney mascots so I wanted to start creating a better eye for myself. There are a few things I really don't enjoy about making when it comes to eyes so decided to make my life easier by approaching it this way. I want to step away from the flat plastic eyes and start moving over to the rounder more lively eye so why not print it.

Fox Puppet Progress (Let's start with the head)

Been wanting to build a fox puppet for a long time so why not start now. Drew up some sketches and started my sculpt in zbrush. I thought about doing a hand sculpt but why not get it perfectly symmetrical and easy to replicate in the future. So going the 3D route made more sense.

Not wanting to make my personal fursona per say but a young girly fox that loves to travel the world and explore. I ...

Cat print progress

The first version of the cat base has printed and after holding it in my hands I am pretty happy with it. Altered a few things for the next print which I will go in detail to why on my next post. For now the first version is very usable and still really compact to wear. Still need to print the eye blanks to test on this base.

Raccoon sticker for December

If you are part of sticker club I will be sending a raccoon sticker your way starting December. Ending the year with one of my favorite critters 😊.

ReMarkable E-Ink display tablet

ReMarkable E-Ink display tablet is not an iPad, not a computer and not a regular paper sketchbook. It’s a very niche product that I wanted to talk about today. Years ago I fell in love with E ink tech and really hoped to find a tablet that was both good for notes and drawing. I went through a lot of tablets that boasted good pen tech and size and never found exactly what I wanted until ReMarkable. This tablet is a black and white tablet, great for writing and sketching. Sometimes you want s...

3D printed Cat Base progress

Started working on a 3D printed cat base that will be used on a customer commission and offered as a kit here on Patreon. Wanted to print this head in parts so it is easier to offer different options and to paint parts that need it.

Using Zbrush for this sculpt and using cat reference thanks to google. Decided to create this base very similar how I start most of my bases with the upper and low...

VR Chat Feline WIP

Kitty is taking shape and can’t wait to start texturing this one. Will be making a Lion version and saber tooth one as well 😊 what sort of feline colorations would you like to see?

VR Chat meet up was a success

First time running a get together and sharing a VRC avatar. I have to say I loved it and had a lot of fun taking photos. Will do a few get togethers during the month to either hang out or share VRC content. So keep an eye out when for future dates. All dates will be posted here.

Was also the first night trying out my Gshep skin along with the halloween ones.

Halloween skin available tomorrow

Will have this avatar available tomorrow. Find me on VR Chat 10-11pm eastern, add me on VRC under “latinvixen” and I’ll invite you into the world I’m in and you can clone my design to celebrate spooky season 😀

Just remember to add me today to be able to invite you to the private world I will be in to hand you the design.

This design does not work on stand alone Quest or Quest 2. It will work with the link cable connected to the PC.

Halloween Wolf

Spooky season is my favorite so had to make a skin for Pablo. Here he is moving around so you can see how looks in VRC.

New VR Chat tier and Halloween Skin

I hope everyone is ready for a lot of VR content as I have a few things up my sleeve for the rest of the year.

Added 2 new tiers: Wolf tier and Folf tier. Both include VR content and one has both VR and sticker content.

Every month I will release a free skin for both of those tiers. The full unity file for the first avatar will be released in December, so the skin for this month and next month will be "cloned" only until the full release is out of the wolf avatar....

VRC Wolf and Dingo

Working on different skins for the main Pablo Wolf VRC avatar. Will be releasing videos showing all the textures once they are completed. I should have this avatar along with a few textures ready to release in December.

Fox model is about done and ready to get rigged soon.

Nomad Sculpt for Mobile (IOS & Android)

A few of you had asked for an easy sculpting program and I found a new app called Nomad Sculpt that I highly recommend. A while back I had suggested "Forger" for IOS/Ipad, and as much as I enjoyed that program this one is so much better in every way.

Fox Avatar for VRC - A few things to note

Just about done with the fox model for VRC so it can get rigged.

I did learn a few things from this model that I did not see when I was working on the wolf. Since I heavily rely on Normal maps you need to make sure it captures all the information correctly.

To create a normal map in substance painter (which I highly recommend for texturing) you will need 2 models of the same model. You wi...

Fox Avatar for VR Chat - WIP

Since finishing the wolf model and texture decided to use the same body but alter a few parts to turn it into a fox. Mostly changed: The head, eyes, jaw, tail, feet size and orientation, claws on the feet, altered the body by making it thinner and stretching it out and a few things around the arms and upper leg area.

Sticker for this Month

Which animal would you like to see next as a sticker?

VR Chat - Making an Avatar (My experience)

A few weeks ago I decided I wanted to start making my own vr chat avatar. I have enough knowledge to use the programs needed to get a sculpt done and textured. I decided to try my hand at it and let someone else handle the rigging part of it. In a way I am surprised more people don't do this, divide the work out and team up with someone else who is good at at part you are not.

I had a basic idea of making a wolf, drew up a design and sort of went from there. Granted the design changed a...

A New type of Fursuit Head Style (Brainstorming)

Been wanting to try making a suit head that follows my art a lot closer than I currently have made. Decided to start on this project and see where it takes me with my current knowledge of zbrush. I know I can sculpt pretty much any shape to fit a human head and have a pretty decent idea of where to place eyes, nose and breathing areas for the sculpt. In the past creating a sculpt that was accurate in size was a struggle but I no longer have to worry about that. I have loved the way 3D animate...

Cat Mask Progress (Prototype Print)

This mask has been a fun learning project and ready to get it to the next stage. Printed the first prototype to test fit and size and overall really happy with what I currently have. Next step is to figure out the best way to place the straps so the weight is distributed properly. Take in mind this mask is done not as a Covid mask but as a cosplay item (which is why it is so big and more costume like).

Collie Sculpt Stream Video and Print Progress

Video of the sculpt: https://youtu.be/eOqHeyS8WQo 

I needed a very specific shape for a customer so decided it was a better idea to sculpt it in zbrush and print it than try to alter already made resin base. I had never really sculpted a semi realistic style head but pretty happy with the...
