Past Term Project Mandy Removal.

I've been in talks with Dean Yeagle the original creator of Mandy and he has taken a liking to the Mandy sculpt from the first term. I've sent him 3D printed copies of both versions and he likes them both and is interested in producing them professionally. Mandy is Dean's intellectual property so I have to respect his wish and remove the download files online and rightfully deserves entitlements. Mandy can no longer be requested as a past term project and I may be modifying her to make her mo...

If you want to check out my work flow then take a look at my time lapse videos. I'll be releasing more as soon as I compile them, enjoy.

Tsuyu Term Reward Completed and Sent

I've messaged all patrons with paid status for October and their respective tiers the link and passwords to the files. If your payment status was declined then you may have to wait for the next term to request Tsuyu or you can get it on the gumroad page once it's set up. Tsuyu was another fun project, and if you plan on sticking around for the next project then don't forget to vote. If there are any issues with the download and password then let me know in the comments or private message me, ...

Tsuyu Parts Checklist

Uploading files while I type this and should be ready to share tomorrow. If there's any questions on the naming convention then let me know.

So this time around I tried to make parts interchangeable as much as possible to avoid printing similar pieces more than once. All head versions should be swap able with any body version as it is labeled with the U in the front. Both the long tongue and short tongue are swap able in any of the heads. The legs of the main and alternative versions ar...

Round 2 Polls

I took the top 3 of Round 1 and added a couple more that people suggested in the comments. If there's a tie then I'll pick the project from the tie.

Older Tsuyu Asui WIP 009

Alternative costume for Tsuyu is complete and I think I'll call this "Summer Tsuyu." Next thing to do one more visual pass to check for last minute tweaks and then break up the character into modular pieces for 3D printing.

Older Tsuyu Asui WIP 008

Nearly complete! This time I added leather texture to the gloves and her chest strap to see how well it will print out for some of you with resin printers. I still need to create some more wrinkles on her suit. Her alternative/nude versions for Tier 3 is in progress as well.

Next Project Poll Round 1, Charged Post

Voting process will be in rounds, and we will try two rounds this time around. First round will be votes to select which characters stay on the list to go onto round two for the final vote. If round two produces a tie then a round three voting will be made, and if round three produces a tie then I will select the character. I will let round one voting sit for one week from this post until we move onto round two.

This is the first time I've used this poll feature on Patreon and I am not ...

Older Tsuyu Asui WIP 007

Once again I spent too much time on one thing, the hair. They are all very subtle changes individually, but together they become a big change. I just wanted the hair to feel graceful and a lot of smooth curves without making it too detailed. I added a lot of ridges to represent the hair flow, but I forget that her hair is going to be black and cover a lot of the details anyways so it's probably best to just make the silhouette and be done with it.

I will work on compiling more of my foo...

Older Tsuyu Asui WIP 006

Worked on the hair mostly this time and it was more challenging than I originally thought. It was constant reworking of multiple versions and thinking that I finally got something I liked then coming back the next day and thinking it could be better. My original hair felt too unison and boring. I know that I want to express movement and organized chaos by catching the character in an in between action. I finally got something I like now for sure and the next process is just refining further.&...

Older Tsuyu Asui WIP 005

Merged and dynameshed a lot of the simple shapes on the body and started sculpting the anatomy further. I'm still adjusting the booty since its a pretty noticeable area of the figure it is my duty to make it look good :). The hair was a good opportunity to give the figure a more dynamic feel. I added in a lot of different strands and different thicknesses and I realized that I added too much and the hair didn't feel true to the character anymore so I had to delete or merge some areas. I event...

Older Tsuyu Asui WIP 004

Adjust the pose further from my previous pose. This time around was just a lot of little tweaks to align the anatomy with the pose. I had to make sure there is a sense of weight put on her arms as she overreaches and try to maintain balance. There was a lot of trial and error adjustments and further experiments to the pose that I end up scrapping and chose this one. There were a couple of other poses that were fairly similar but in the end this one had a better silhouette from multiple angles...

Older Tsuyu Asui WIP Video Part 2

In this video I focused on anatomy, proportions, hair, and costume design. You'll see me bounce around different areas a lot to not get too tunnel visioned in one area, it's good to step back and reassess the figure as a whole often.

Older Tsuyu Asui WIP Video Part 1

Here's half of the footage I recorded so far. I am trying to keep each video under an hour, I don't think anyone can sit down and watch for too long anyways. I used better music this time around. Enjoy, any suggestions for improvement is welcome.

Older Tsuyu Asui WIP 003

Painted the figure to see how it will all come together and for future reference for details. Here is also the initial idea of the alternative costume. I like having other types of materials in costume design, but at the same time fur doesn't scream frog to me. I might adjust the alternative costume further to see what else I can come up with.

This is the pose I decided on, this is a lower res base mesh I am using as a guide. She is supposed to be leap frogging over an object (probably ...

Older Tsuyu Asui WIP 002

This time around I didn't have as much trouble with the proportions. I usually see something I want to change when I step away for awhile and come back, but I think I'm pretty satisfied. The feet and hands were fun to design and because they are bulky and animal-like I was able to play with the shapes a bit and make up my own anatomy. Tsuyu's hair is interesting also while I was sculpting the hair I learned something about her hair knot I never noticed before and it is just a series of l...

Older Tsuyu Asui WIP 001

Little update on the head sculpt of Tsuyu Asui. Not quite there yet but closer on the look I want. I was preoccupied for these past two weeks, but will be shifting more focus to this project. I have a couple of pose ideas roughly blocked out already, I will redo them once I get a more fleshed out body and proportion of  Tsuyu Asui. Thanks everyone.

Previous Term Request Still Open.

I have sent out all the requests to past term projects, however there are a couple of patrons that have not messaged me and still have that benefit. There is no time frame for the request so you can private message me anytime and I will check the records.

If you requested a previous term project and have not received anything then feel free private message me again. All links and passwords should be working because I double checked them, but If there is an issue with the link/password ...

Ranma Timelapse YouTube Video

Just released a speed up video of my workflow. There are gaps at some points because I either forgot to hit record or ran out of hard drive space, especially toward the end. My workflow isn't the best way to sculpt, but it's how I am currently doing things. There is plenty of room to improve all the time, so if you have any suggestions then I'm all ears.

P.S. The looping music can be tiresome after awhile, sorry. I didn't want to have to find music for a full 4 hours of video.

Ranma Update

This past week was just full of subtle tweaks and breaking down Ranma into modular pieces followed by test printing and making sure the sockets fit. I already completed a test print of the main version of Ranma and everything looks good. I am printing the alternative version now, but turned up the quality settings so I can have a nice print for myself.

In the meantime I will start rendering images as my 3D printing is finishing up and will compile the recordings for the YouTube time lap...

Free version is ready for download at Thingiverse. 

The patron full body and alternative versions will be done by the end of the month.

Ranma WIP 005

Getting close to the finish line. 

These clothes wrinkles really gave me a lot of trouble. I ended up sculpting multiple passes deleting and re-sculpting the next day, but I think I benefited from the time I spent experimenting and studying it. Overall it was good practice and hope this skill carries over to future projects.

Next step is to experiment with additional expressions for Ranma and Pechan.

Ranma WIP 004b

I ended up remaking the clothes just because it would be tedious to repose the t-meshed to its most accurate position and I'm pretty satisfied so far.

Shes supposed to have a wet look after being doused with a bucket of water. I may make the base that shes sitting on a big bucket, would make an interesting background piece.

Ranma WIP 004a

Merged a lot of the sub tools together and dynameshed them to start getting a smoother more cohesive mesh. Fixing anatomy here and there, a lot of small subtle adjustments.

There are so many parts close together that I may not create too many seams for the modular parts, hoping to be 3-4 pieces.

Ranma WIP 003

Finally decided on a pose I like, shes supposed to be drenched in water and of course the aftermath is Ranma and Ryoga turned into their secondary forms. There will be an empty bucket as a prop on the side. There are two leg positions as you can see. One she sits on the ground and another she will sit on an elevated surface, probably a bench or a rock. I have adjusted her proportions again, arms are thicker, head is smaller, and some other parts bigger ;). A couple of facial expressions I wan...

Ranma WIP 002

Worked on the hair mostly this time around. All of those block in shapes were merged together into bigger chunks to make it flow better, more refinement will come later. Proportions started to feel off when I blocked in her clothes, some parts felt too thin and some parts felt too large. It's probably due to the multiple different artist references I'm using, so there's another on the to do list. The overall anatomy looks okay, but I will probably soften her a little more, looks a bit too rip...
