Some years ago, I made a Pumpkin Banjo Sculpt! It was one of the first sculpts I had ever made in 3D. Now, I'm remaking it! Just in time for that pumpkin spice season. This will be a part of an animated loop sequence that will be posted in the near future.
2023-11-07 01:49:48 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone! I just wanted to say thank you all for supporting me thus far. I'll be pausing member payouts for a bit for the holiday season! This will begin on Nov. 1st.
You will still have access to patreon posts btw! Both old, and upcoming posts that I plan to catch up on during the break. I apologize for my slow pace as of late! It's been an awkward time of moving + finding more work.
For those under the limited mentorship, we will be taking a break from...
This will be kept as an unlisted video for you're viewing pleasure! If you'd like to ask questions while I'm live, feel free. Or just to hang out as well :)

Tomorrow (10/7/23) I'll be doing a short livestream test!
The time is a bit uncertain at the moment, but hoping to be around 4PM CST! This is will be a technical test for how the Patreon Exclusive livestream feature works + to make sure it records everything just fine for you to rewatch. If you miss it, that is totally okay! It is a bit spontaneous LOL but I am eager to see how it goes!
So, I have done some livestreaming in the past on twitch and youtube. I will say that I do miss them! It had me thinking of how I could create even more content for you all, my beloved supporters. Then it hit me- I can do periodic livestreams on youtube that are exclusive to patrons! (I feel this will make this patreon worth even more to you all, as well as motivate me out of these personal ruts I get into sometimes haha)
I learnt recently that this is a thing I can do...
One of the few "stress" tests I did in Zbrush to see how the face topology holds up in extreme cases (mainly for certain expressions).
We plan to use this topology for both the in-game model, and for future promotional renders/videos!
There is something very satisfying about slapping some colors on something you've been working off and on for a while now. Really happy with how the shapes overall have turned out! He's a hard one to translate into 3D!

Wanted to show some new models I've been working on the side! Gotta keep that M&LRPG marathon going! These will be used in the Alpha Dream Tribute project in some shape or form.
2023-07-31 05:12:35 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone! Sorry for the delay of updates on my end. It ended up being a busy couple of weeks, especially with getting my truck repaired, and other things.
Just wanted to keep y'all in the know since I lost track of time. Thank y'all for being here! Things should be back up to pace soon!

This download includes the following:
- A substance painter file for the body
- The high and low models used for baking (some are triangulated, others are not)
- Textures from baking
- The rig that was imported + formated for a certain game engine
Unfortunately, I couldn't include every step of the process due to Patreon's Upload Limits, but I hope you may learn a thing or two from these files! Enjoy!
After a lot of demand for it, Fawful will be receiving his costume from Partners in Time! Since it's essentially a body suit, I had to poke a little fun with the costume :P
The body itself has been changed a bit to better accommodate all of the alts, especially this one as it made me realize the body proportions were a bit off before.
The 3D game art of the mii costume for the next video is near complete! There will just need to be some final touches to it. I also have been saving my work files, and some other progress, to add as content here on patreon for y'all to either learn from or just to scope it out! This will be available for the Super Supporter Tier and Apprentices. This will include:
Substance Painter Files
FBXs and OBJs (in quads and tris)
Textures
On another note, the next vi...
Finally got some time to finish the 3D printing preperation for Midbus! Initially I was gonna do a more complex keying for it, but something as simple as this seems to work fine for the weight distribution, details, and printing time.
This will be used to make a 3D print for a giveaway later this month; however, I was thinking about making these 3D print files be patreon exclusive at some point after it. What do y'all think? As long as no one tries to re-sell the file or print i...
While I was retopologizing the tomato lad, I thought you know what- I should record a technique I use often for handling folds in a game-res mesh. So here's me demonstrating what I do, and why I do it!

A quick blockout was done for the body, which was then brought into Zbrush to add details onto! I generally like to build the blockout over the skeleton I'm working from, that way I won't have to have headaches down the line with things not lining up right. Then, I'll subdivide, use zremesh when needed, and start to sculpt. From here, I'll build my new game-res mesh via retopology.

Hey everyone! Here is an early look at what the mii costume will be for the next Alpha Dream Tribute video. It will be DeMille from Tomato Adventure- the first game that Alpha Dream created. I finished up retopology on the main head asset, and just need to figure out what to do for the eyes. I thought about either modeling those in are baking them with high texture fidelity in that region. I'll think on it!
The next Tribute video should be happening (approx.) next month!
Fawful, one of the main antagonists in the M&LRPG series, rocks this headgear in both M&L: Superstar Saga and M&L: Bowser's Inside Story. However, the design and functionality of the headgear is quite different between the two games. So, to resolve this, I tried to combine both elements into ones- leaning more towards the Bowser's Inside Story variant in terms of its visuals.
Whenever this is translated into 3D, it'll allow me the option to:
- Make expressions
- Make...
Thank you Patrons for allowing me more time on this!
It's been a lot of back and forth on Fawful's head- it's tricky! But I think once it's been resolved, it'll go smooth sailing from there.
The main concern here is making it work with a full face rig; my friend will be rigging his face for animation purposes (outside of modding). I just now sent him the models to see what position could work best with what we want to do.
My current thought is the top one should work best, a...
To start off polls, here are the creative prompts I had in mind for different video game mods. I have also attached visuals to better showcase what these ideas were! At the moment, The Alpha Dream Tribute (SSBU Mods) is my main focus when it comes to modding, but I think doing something a little less intense and fun on the side could help with burnout!
Which one would y'all like to see more out of these prompts? If it's not picked, it could still be worked on in anothe...
For your viewing pleasure, here are the transparent + HD renders of Midbus in the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate art direction! This was made possible with the displacement maps that were generated from the high poly sculpt.
Would you be surprised to hear that I had to shrink them down a little to upload them? The original, raw sizes of the renders were 8k! Th...
Thank you for taking the time to stop by and check out the tiers. I hope you consider supporting me!
I will say that work in progress content will not be shared on twitter anymore. I don't want to get too deep into it as the subject tires me, but I've seen many WIPs of my friends work (and at one instance of my own) stolen and warped through some new 'tech'. I'm sure you all know what I'm referring to.
This patreon will mainly be a way to not only support me, but give those who desire ...
