As usual no vote limit on round one, so click away at all the characters that interest you. If the character list is too big I eliminate the excess suggestions from one person based on my own interest. There were also general ideas as suggestions as opposed to a specific character, those tend not to be voted on, so I have put that into my mental library of ideas to consider instead of lis...
Need one more look pass, but almost done with the alternate school outfit. Still going to experiment with the other face and damaged uniform to see how it looks then onto the base design and keying.
Let me know in comments who is able to test print, experienced printers would be nice. Thanks everyone.
Ryuko Matoi should be done by the end of the month, so let's build a new list for the next project.
I've also been thinking about creating more original work, probably every other project. If you have any thoughts then let me know in the comments. I'll be adding the original character option on the next poll.
Both of these characters are moving into round 2 voting automatically:
Winry Rockwell - Full Metal Alchemist
Spider Gwen - Into the Spiderverse
Alternate version progress so far. Ryuko got a breast size reduction in this one because it just looks better as a triangle composition in my opinion. Her hair is still early stages and I might put in more strands to give it a more dynamic feel. I'll probably rip up her clothes and give her a worn out fighting look. This concept is based off one of the scenes where she gets beaten up and bites on her glove to transform.
Also here is the final look of the main version in her transformed...
Did not get to her school uniform this weekend, but she's about 90% done! Recorded a video to show more of her angles. Enjoy!

Most of the costume design done, just need to add some minor details here and there. Currently focusing efforts on the hair, face and will do another color pass on the overall figure. After all that is done then I'll tackle the school uniform this weekend too.

Final pose! As I've suspected the pose we all liked ended up not working too well with the shoulder armor. The balance of the composition became really jumbled into one area and began to distort the overall silhouette. I opted to stay with the sword crossing theme and I think I like this version more to be honest. I've also created the alternate arm positions that I will try to make interchangeable, but the differences to the anatomy of the shoulder could prove difficult. If it doesn't work t...
2021-03-08 02:19:33 +0000 UTC View PostOriginally I was going to do the school uniform as the alternate, but I've seen many comments mentioning the other kisaragi form. I'll stick to the school uniform for now because the kisaragi form is very similar to the regular senketsu form. If the votes are heavily favored towards the Kisaragi form, something like 3 to 1 then I'll switch to that one.

More of the hard surface parts of the costume done and reworked the eye. Going to use the weekend to grind more of this out!
Which alternate costume do you guys want? I'll throw up a poll.
Like usual I put my own touch and redesigned some things to be more detailed in 3D. Started test sampling some colors and got most of the armor design done. There's more to adjust in the details and also time to reevaluate her overall proportions now that new elements are introduced. Once the design is figured out I'll be moving onto the pose. Feel free to give input, it might give me new ideas, thanks!

I decided to throw away the first batch of poses and made new ones. I know in the anime for the majority of the time she has one sword, but I saw the game and thought it looked cool so I created the poses based off that. Let me know which one you guys like the most in the comments. Captions show the number on each gif, but if you don't see it then its in numerical order of appearance.
P.S. Patreon flagging this post for nudity so I have to make this private... haha...
Mostly finished the scissor blades. Hard surface sculpting in Zbrush isn't my cup of tea and I don't have access to Maya, but I think it came out okay :). I've modified it to be less flat on one side much like real scissors are just so that the visuals are more interesting at multiple angles. You won't be able to exactly put them together to create real scissors, but close.
I'm still trying to figure out a pose and might share a couple to get everybody's opinion on them, stay tuned.

I was about to print a large scale main version of the Cyberpunk character and I found an error that my testers have missed. Partly my fault because I did not show them an image before they started their printers up. The key to connect the torso was missing and is now fixed and uploaded to Dropbox. The original keyless pants will still fit, but it just has to be glued to stay in place. Sorry about that!

Sculpted the secondary expression and body blocked out from scratch and mostly done with the overall proportions. Ryuko stands 5 feet 3 inches(1.6002 meters) according to the anime stats on wiki and hopefully she appears that way in the image.
I've also started recording footage again and will be trying to uploading to Youtube again. I still haven't compiled the Raven footage though... but eventually I'll get to it!
First post!
Her hair was giving me a hard time and I ended up noodling the same areas over and over, but I think I am getting close to what I want in terms of general shapes and flow. Anime faces are always pretty tricky also because the profile and front views do not match when sculpted in 3D. Work done on one side may look okay in that specific angle but awkward in another. I also like to sculpt the 3D forms over those typical drawn/painted on anime eyes on a flat surface so imp...
2021-02-18 02:15:16 +0000 UTC View PostI've changed the wording around to all the tiers. Tier 3 and Tier 2 are unaffected in terms of final rewards, just simplification of the reward descriptions. Tier 1 miniature will be discontinued. I decided that I do not want to release an inferior version of my work and also want to consolidate my efforts into the areas that patrons are more interested in.
If you are a Tier 1 patron you will not receive anymore STL files, so if you ar...
All STL files have been sent! Check your private messages for the download links. If you were a late joiner (after the charge post was created) and are interested in this project then send me a private message.
This time I went a little deeper in the new Marmoset Toolbag 4 software and added some textures for fun. I did not utilize it to the fullest but a good learning experience and I may try to do more of it on future projects.
Interesting development with the sudden increase in interest for Winry Rockwell and I welcome it. I like all three characters and as always will be glad to work on any of them.
One vote per person and poll end date is this Friday. I won't be voting in the final round, but will be the tie breaker after the poll ends. Looking forward to the results!
This post will trigger the payment process for the Cyberpunk project.
Here are the key cuts that we are currently test printing. The shirt, arms, head, and base are all interchangeable regardless of versions. The keys have cylinder cuts in them to fit magnets sizes 3x3mm or 6x3mm if printed at the native size. Cross your fingers and hope the prints come out as planned, but things are subject to change.
Time to let the printers do the work. Thank you everyone...
2021-01-31 01:13:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe top 25 picks from first round votes are in. There was a three way tie for the number 25 spot so I choose to leave out Succubus - World of Warcraft because of the poll limit. If there are objections then you can post a comment with Succubus and if the votes tally high enough to be in the top 3 then I will ad her. Once again there is no vote limit for this round, but strategically vote for the ones you want to go into the third and final round. The final round will be one vote per person on...

Double check your respective tiers and the rewards you wish to receive and make your adjustments. The blueprint will come once all the cuts have been planned out.

Tier 2: Main version full resolution with both arm configurations and removable shirt.

Final set of WIP images for the project until the final renders come. I decided to scrap that waist cloth piece because I felt the character looked better without it.
The next thing to do is to keying. I'll see if I can make the shirt work as a removable, but if it doesn't work out then I'll leave it as a single piece connected to the torso. My goal is to always have as little pieces as possible to be less complex.
The base will be a simple minimalist stand.

Try to format like this for organization (Character - Series/Movie/Game/Anime). Both characters from the previous final will move onto round 2 as usual.
Android 18 - Dragon Ball Z

The project is nearing completion and here is "Blossom" in her street clothes. The street clothes will be the main version without the mantis blades and her skin suit with the mantis blades will be the alternate version. Still haven't finalized the markings on her body yet, but will get that done on the very final phase after fitting in the mantis blade arms. Will most likely be done in the following week and the keying phase will begin. Don't think I will add additional expressions, but if s...

More refinement to the body and accessories in this update. I decided to go with a different direction for the concept and still experimenting. I dropped the corporate look and went with the dirty retro feel. Cybernetic detailing on the body is still in the conception phase too and she will be more rough looking in the next iteration. Cheers!
2021-01-16 02:39:45 +0000 UTC View Post
Started picking out the color scheme for her as a whole, knocked out most of the hair and fit the cybernetic arms onto her. It does seem very thin, and will probably need some thickening. All her cybernetic markings will be resculpted and will most likely be where the cutting seams are. Didn't get to her clothes yet on this update but will be on the next ;).
I should probably name this character, need some time to think about it. See you on the next update!

Mantis arms cleaned and completed! Pose mostly completed and in the cleaning process. I've attached the mantis arms to test the pose and they do seem kind of slender. As a stand alone print the arms should work, but on the figure it may be too slender. I will fill cavities or thicken if it's necessary to strengthen the build. Hope you all like it, back to work I go!
