Build-A-Giantess Submissions 4: Hair Color [CLOSED]

Next up on the idea roster: what color will our cat girl's hair be?

You can be as specific as you like -- offer a general hair color (i.e. blonde, brunette, etc.), a specific color (i.e. pink, green, etc.), or even a hexadecimal (i.e. 5F306F). For those who wish to use a hexadecimal, you can get one for your color here! You're also free to include a second color for hair highlights or a gradient, if you'd like!

Build-A-Giantess Vote 3: Eye Color

Eye see you looking at these color options! There were no submissions this time, so I got free reign over the poll options! I chose these three colors based on what I felt would complement the bonze skin tone that was voted on yesterday. Choose as many options as you like!

Build-A-Giantess Submissions 3: Hair Style [CLOSED]

Next up on the idea roster: what hair style will our cat girl have?

Be sure to link reference images of what you have in mind, as it would be difficult to model the hair based on text alone. You're free to mention any changes to the reference image(s) as you see fit, as long as the references offer the general gist.

Also remember that this is only for hair style; hair color submissions will be tomorrow!

Hello again, everyone! Here's what I got done this week:

• Added next/previous page buttons that flip between pages under each cateogry of grid buttons

This hasn't been my best week, I'll admit. On top of stress being very prominent lately, I've also gotten sick again with what I had back in January; I expect to be sick for another few days, which is rather poor timing given th...

Small+ Poll: A New Game

Hello everyone!

I'll get straight to the point: I don't feel like I'm ever going to get anywhere working on giantess games that focus on gameplay. I've done research here and there, and it's come to my attention that the overwhelming majority of people don't play giantess games for the gameplay, but for the interactions between the giantess and tiny. They also tend to prefer 3D experiences over 2D ones.

As such, I'd like to switch my focus to making a 3D game focused on one-on-one...

Ladies and gentlemants, it's time for America's least popular game show: Tick the Task! Below we have three fabulous choices for what our dear little hermit, Miles Mouse, will be working on for the next month -- or more!

Behind door number one: Blender! There's no telling what this wild card will give us next -- could it be facial animation? Body deformation? Another animation? Ooh, so many possibilities I get goosebumps just thinking about it!

Tier Drawings: Behind the Scenes

For me, making drawings is a multi-step process. See, I'm not good at drawing by hand, nor am I good at drawing without heavy references. As such, I don't begin with a canvas, but with 3D models.

And luckily for us, I have a (mostly) finished base model to work with now! Just try to ignore the dead, soul-draining stare they all have.

I hope you're wearing green! You wouldn't like me when you don't wear green. Here's what I got done this week:

• Fixed the pinky toe bone so it doesn't affect the base of the foot as much
• Set up 3D pose references for all six tier drawings
• Finished the line art for the base poses in all six tier drawings

Ah, these beginning phases of the drawing process are always a bit of a slog for me. It's figuring out the poses and the composition of the shot; there...

New Tiers: Version 2 (Electric Boogaloo)

The results of the last poll were a bit mixed, so I've remade the list of tiers with the help of some suggestions!

$1 Tier (Friendly):

• Your username in the credits of the current game and the next applicable animation
• Access to "sneak peak" screenshots of WIP animations
• You have my utmost gratitude! Your support keeps me motivated to improve my skills and be the best I can be for you guys!

$3 Tier (Short):

New Tiers

With renders now entering the fray, the tiers will need to be updated. Renders are far faster to finish than games, meaning there's a lot more flexibility to what I can offer on a monthly basis!

Before publishing them, however, I'd like to get your opinions on them.

Dangling: The Animation!

What you perceive as a life-or-death situation is nothing more than the idle, mindless dangling of a shoe to the woman above you. She doesn't even know you're there, hanging on for dear life and gradually losing your grip.

And unfortunately for you... she's about to stand up.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you my very first 3D animation! It's short and simple, but I'm quite happy with how it came out! It only took me two and a half weeks to finish, too, which i...

Alright, boring stuff first: I finished the weight painting for the toes in their extreme poses, meaning I'm officially done with the second pass of weight painting! There will be a third pass, but that can wait until after we'...

Love is in the air! Quick, hold your breath! Here's what I got done this week:

• Fixed a bone/control rotation orientation problem with the fingers and toes

I underestimated how much work rigging would be, but I'm nearly done! Sorta! I only have the toes left to "fix", and I use quotation marks because I don't feel like I'm actually fixing them, more like band-aiding them until I get to a mor...
