Tiers are now updated.

I've updated the Tier rewards with the changes as I've previously mentioned. Hopefully I won't need to change anything anytime soon again, but if I do it'll be because I found an idea to improve.

Tier 4 is now deleted and replaced by Tier 3. There were a couple of Tier 4 members that still haven't responded to my private messages, but hopefully they will catch this before I finish my next project so that they can get their requests in on time. Thanks everyone.

My next WIP post wil...

Ranma WIP 001b

I wanted to avoid making Ranma's face "too anime" with just the sharp nose with no nostrils, so I tried to go with a semi realistic but still have the anime feel. I was fiddling around with this a lot in the beginning as you will see in the video when I release it later on. I could tweak it further, but I think I've found something I like. Ranma's hair is in the tertiary phase, I'm still trying to find the big shapes and good silhouette before I add finer details.

Ranma WIP 001a

So I decided on Ranma for my next project. Here's a shot of her current proportions.

I started recording videos of my workflow in Zbrush and I will create a time lapse video to release on youtube once I finish sculpting the T-Pose.

I will probably create another video of the posing process also.

Tier Changes on June 17

 As mentioned from my previous announcement I will be deleting Tier 4 and moving those rewards to Tier 3, essentially reducing the price by $5 for the same rewards. If you want to continue to support then I'd appreciate it if you cancel your Tier 4 and join as a Tier 3 Patron. I will make these changes in three days (June 17), Thanks everyone. 

Check my proposal post to see whats changed.

Revamped Tiers Proposal, again.

TL:DR more or same rewards for less cost.

I am going to make a couple of wording changes to some tiers to be more descriptive and clear. Removing Tier 4 and consolidating those rewards to Tier 3. Too many tiers can be a bit messy in terms of file organization as I've just experienced with that last project, so I decided to simplify the process. In the end everyone is getting the same thing from Tier 1 and Tier 2. Tier 3 will be getting more rewards and essentially "T...

Updated Mandy Download Links

Keep in mind these file rewards are slightly different before I made some changes, but a current Tier 4 patron should still have access to everything from the previous project. I am keeping the passwords the same as when I first completed the Mandy Project. I am resending the passwords to the current Tier 4 Patrons.

Dropbox Issues

I have to reupload files to dropbox because autosync synced the wrong files to the cloud. Give me at least a day to reupload everything with new links and passwords. If you haven't already downloaded the files sorry for the inconvenience, it will be up again shortly.

Wraith Rewards Sent.

I've sent everyone dropbox download links to their respective reward tiers. If you haven't received any links then double check your patron status. The patrons with a benefit status of their tiers are how I keep track of who I will and have sent rewards to.

Patreon charges the patrons the 1st of every month so I have to follow that structure.

Again if your payment went through and you did not get the download links then send me a message and I will resend the links. It is possible...

Wraith Project Rewards

Download links to the high resolution rendered images will be here. 

Download links to 3D STL print files for all tiers will be sent by Patreon messaging on the 1st of June.

Uploading Files and Changes to Tiers.

File Uploads:

I've finished rendering images for promotions as well as rewards. More images were rendered than I thought I'd do, but it was a smoother process this time compared to the previous project. Currently organizing the files to respective tier folders and uploading them to dropbox.

A couple of changes to the tier rewards: 

Added  • Higher resolution character model to Tier 1 - Tier 4. The free versions on Thingi...

Wraith Alternate Version

Turned Wraith into a ninja with a kunai instead of a gun. The base stand took more time than I thought I had to scrap a lot of different versions and eventually I decided to go with a more simple version(not shown in image). There's still a little more to do but I will do test prints now. If they turn out ok then I will release the STL files soon after.

On a side note I did print the higher resolution bigger print of the main Wraith version. Some parts did not come out as clean as I wou...

Wraith: Test Prints

Printed on Ender3 and sliced with Ultimaker Cura 4. 

The layer height for these test prints were set to 0.15 mm with wall line count at 2. One of the sockets broke off because it was so thin, so on the final print I would set the wall count to 4 or higher. Every socket fits really snug at this size and thickness, so the final character print size will be larger and finer. I might make room in the socket holes for adhesives though. Each of these pieces took 40 minutes to 3 hours to ...

Wraith WIP 012b: Close-Up of Wires

As mentioned in previous post, I will have to test print these wires to see how well it holds. I may have to thicken it if the first test is bad.

Wraith WIP 012: Base Stand and Wires

The wires/tubes were really a challenge in terms of thinking how it will come out from the 3D printer. I was tinkering around with it a lot and decided to minimize the amount of wires or tubes seen on the original concept for the ease of 3D printing. I kept all the more prominent tubes and scrapped the finer ones that I felt wouldn't add much more to the final model worth the effort to sculpt and the pain of trying to print something so small and fragile. I will have to do some test prints on...

Wraith WIP 011: Color Test

Flat color sample of the theme I'm following. The detailed areas such as the seams need to be darkened to balance the heavy white color.

Wraith WIP: 010 Correction and Refinement

This is the refinement stage where the joints are joined together to become one cohesive mesh by "dynameshing" in Zbrush. Certain parts that can be hidden through seams will remain in its own subtool. A little bit of resculpting is needed at these joint areas to correct anatomy errors. The wrist is a prime area to fix because of how the radius and ulna work together as we rotate our hand. Initially during the T-pose the body is sculpted with the palms facing a certain direction, so when we po...

WIP 009: Pose Detail

The Wingman (handgun) is downloaded from Thingiverse I will credit the artist when It comes time to release this file. There's a lot of touch ups/resculpting needing to be done on warped areas like the hips, knees, shoulders, etc. Rough ideas for the base is also in progress.

WIP 008: Posed Dummy

I created a low polygon dummy to test poses and after a couple of rough poses I ended up choosing this one. Each limb is left as it's own polygroups so there is less hassle to mask every joint. After finding the proper pose I then overlap the "final" model over the dummy and move each part accordingly.

WIP 007: Hair

I personally like the clean hair I had before, but I need to stay a little true to the character. At first I tried to recreate the original from the game, but I didn't like how it looked. So I went with an in between of my preference and the game concept. Still not quite there yet but getting closer.

WIP 006: Mechanical Parts and Belts

Most of the mechanical parts are complete, but there are still a lot of tubes connected to the mechanical parts that loop around her body from all sorts of angles. I may have a solution for the tubing and I'll fill in the details when I get there.

Changes to Page and Tiers.

A little heads up to a couple of changes to my page in the near future. The tier rewards and price will be adjusted lower. A Base Figurine Stand will be added to all of the tier rewards. The free Thingiverse files will be limited to something like 75% of the figure. I'm going to give less attention to the 2D wallpapers and more into the 3D sculpts, so the rendered images might be limited to something like one or two of the best angles. Completely nude characters can be boring in a design pers...

Wraith WIP 005, Close Up of Suit

Another shot of the mechanical parts.

Wraith WIP 004, Suit Overview Progress

Detailing stage going well, but still a lot of mechanical parts to add to the character. There's also a lot of wires/tubes on the original concept that I need to experiment with to see how to 3D print them. Next task is to create the other mechanical parts and posing.

Tier 4 reward preview, Mandy Project.

When I started the Wraith project I gained a Tier 4 patreon, so I had to put that project on hold for awhile to work on Mandy again. Here she is in rendered nude form, I still need to print her to make sure my stl file is good to upload. This pose doesn't take as much surface space on the 3D printer bed as the previous Mandy pose so I will keep it as a single file if my print comes out clean. I will most likely release the files when the Wraith project is done. I will also try to release file...

Wraith WIP 003, Face Progress

More progress on Wraith. Today I worked on her face, and a little more on her body. The face is the most important part of the character because it's where we humans look right away when we see someone just like in real life. It's important to make it appealing to the eye, and this is my first pass. I will revisit later to further detail and push the hair detail more. When sculpting or even drawing any character it's good not to get too tunnel vision or fixated on one area for too long, each ...

Wraith WIP 002

More angles of the first iteration.

Project Wraith WIP 001

Started sculpting Wraith from APEX Legends. I think I'm ok with the proportions for now. Of course there's going to be constant iterations. Comments/suggestions welcomed.

Mandy Project Rewards

This is my first reward post, please let me know if you have not received your reward. Any suggestions for making this process smoother will be noted.

I will be private messaging or emailing dropbox download links and passwords to Tier 2 and higher reward tiers. All Tier 1 rewards are linked below and compressed with 7-zip. All download links will expire by 5/7/2019. Project voting will be implemented when there are more participants, but I will take suggestions now and add that to the ...

First Project Upload and New Project Soon

I'm reorganizing all of my work files and will zip it up and upload to dropbox soon. My next project might be an Apex Legends character, I love that game so much that I have to.
