Wolvar Investigator Complete

And finished!

A Wolvar from World of Warcraft, specifically an Investigator from an AU I created and despite heatwaves and black outs I persisted and was thusly rewarded (Thanks to seeking out a great tutorial) with a fully textured and rigged model, wooh! For this project I made use off Vampiric Kai's Toon Shader for the body and Jetbet's Cel Shader for the items, clothes and face.

I plan to post more later, but this felt like a good way to show off the finished product. For this project I made use off Vampiric Kai's Toon Shader for the body and Jetbet's Cel Shader for the items, clothes and face.

Muscle Model Bust

So this is the end result of a recent foray into trying to model and define muscle on a stylistic character. I used the Zagreus model sheet from the Hades game as a basis & also tried out Jetbet's Cel Shader for this piece.

Zagreus Muscles

This started as a Zagreus model & a chance to study muscle modelling but I think I'll stick to the muscle aspect for efficacies sake, pretty pleased with my paint experimentation.

Homeland: Lay to Rest (Fanart Finale)

Aaaand finished! 

his was a super fun project to work on, the unique style of character design was an engaging challenge to translate, and getting the various none symmetrical aspects to link up correctly was a hearty challenge. 

I ended up having to use Mixamo for the rigging & animation because apparently Rigify has decided it no longer works. With thanks to VampiricKai for the Toon-Texture base & to 2020-11-26 07:22:32 +0000 UTC View Post

Homeland: Lay to Rest, AD Taeza (Fanart) 2

Made a lot of progress today, and finally got down to exporting and painting over a UV map, made things so much easier, even if I did still need to copy paste a few things.

Homeland: Lay to Rest, AD Taeza (Fanart)

I believe I have finally finished the modeling phase for this character, it was a unique and engaging challenge to work on a squared off and  a-symmetrical and a great experience, should ideally be moving onto the ever daunting UV Un-wrapping next, ><

May Marigold (Finished!)

Well she's done, and I am pretty pleased with what I learned doing this project.

I did have some problems rigging & so had to fall back on Mixamo but that's life; I mostly picked these poses cos they either showed a lot of personality to felt exaggerated enough to show off the model. 

Panting wise, modelling wise and especially on the hair, I learnt a ton I can carry forward to y next project.

Also the whit e haired May's were a happy accident but I decided she look...

May Marigold: Almost Finished!

An update, now with textures and shading!

May marigold Stage One 95% Complete!

I heard Kdin was interested in seeing more May art, and May was already near the top of my "I wanna model" list so I decided to dive right in and give it a go, fairly happy with how things have been progressing. 

The jacket was the most challenging aspect, followed by the hair which I still need to thicken up in a few spots, but I don't wish to do that sleepy, but I did want to share this. Once that is done, I can UV unwrap and texture the rest of the body, woot!

Mystery Skulls Lewis: 3D Fanart

So I love the Mystery Skull series, (Available here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT2SpyOpcX7nt6VAfmiQdzg) which updated nearly a week ago. 

The new installment inspired me to make this model, the flames hail from Kristof Dedene & the texture base was from Vampiric Kai's toon shader...

Final: Lucas Marks Turnaround by rareraspberry (Fanart)

Finally wrapped up this model, trying to rig with a cape was an educational trip I will tell you that XD 

I've decided to challenge myself to model texture, rig and pose 1 character a week. Minimum. As it happened I stumbled across this (https://www.deviantart.com/rareraspberry/art/Lucas-Marks-Turnaround-212883733) cool design and couldn't help but try to model . S...

Neon VS Neon

Spent a good chunk of the day working on this, ten internet points to whoever can guess what animation I used as my guideline for this.

Clock City Cannon (Fan Art)

Hello again, I decided to take a break from animation practice to try and model a scene and prop from the 永遠甚だしい / Self Cover MV, an animated music video which I highly recommend (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oykg2y1KHGg) 


Thanks to those who gave me feedback and to Vampiric Kai for the use of their toon shader.

The framing, movements and everything else for 1 and 3 are based on this scene from RWBY (https://aminoapps.com/c/pokemon/page/blog/haaaah-neon-katt/5GhV_uazeqXopoaMKdgr3n2W5vlNrguY) though with my own little flourish at the end:

Neon Katt (Final Group Shot, Wire Frames & alt Designs)

I’ve been working on this for about a week after getting inspired when discussing a fanfic with a friend where Neon was a spy, thus catsuit Neon. The rigging and poses were done via Mixamo.
