Neon: Outfit Variants

So I did a variety of different outfits and color schemes, I think the white and gold is closest to what I originally envisioned but I have a fondness for all of them, thoughts, feedback? I'm hoping to pick one, gussy it up a little more and do a quick rig job so she can be animated.

Neon Katt

So I got chatting with a friend about an AU recently and long story short, Spy Suit (Like Ilia's) Neon Katt will soon be a thing, he's an update of the nearly finished base Mesh, all I've left to do is beef up the hair and I can move onto the outfit.

Paper Mario Olivia Ballet

 So recently someone very kind made a favorable comparison between me and Olivia of Paper Mario: The Origami King's fame and I could not help but try modelling her, pretty pleased with the result, this took about 1 & a half days. I made use of Miguel Barbosa's shaders and Todor Nikolov's rigging materials to speed me on my way.

Alt HistoryAchaemenid Empire Soldier

An alt history idea I and a couple others were toying with based on the idea of steam power being discovered during the rise of Cyrus the Great and how it might influence the Achaemenid Empire. 

 Which led to the idea of me modelling an Achaemenid 'Immortal/Companion', adapted for the changing world, booned resources, need for greater numbers and the fact they were designed with the idea of operating at a desert station in mind.

Ki Cutter (Aftershock)

A technique idea for an attack in Aftershock based on/inspired by the Kienza/Destructo Disk from DBZ, as well as Chakram. I think if I wanted to give it the full Ki "look" I could do a couple of other things. This was mostly a test of concept and I quite like the result and so will enjoy playing with other such ideas in the future. The sound effects came from Free Sound FX .com.

Hover-Board (Aftershock)

Hello again, this is a hover-board designed with my original series concept (Aftershock) in mind and it is used by one of the main characters to get around.

This was a fun and educational project, letting me learn a lot about the use of the array modifier, my various shading tools and the bezier curves. Along with being my first model done in ages with no reference material.

I also used Miguel Barbosa's toon shader to design the textures.

Also have a take off video: View Post

Bender in Blender

A short fun and sweet Blender Project that gave me the chance to play around with my newest toys (Note how his arms & legs work) garnered from the excellent AgenZasBrothers channel & their video on robot tentacles. (I also utilized Miguel Barbosa's amazing toon shader for the base colors) 

I also have a little video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2p2L5leun4Y

Bender in Blender (Pre-Textures)

I wanted to do something to let the hoverboard design aspects rest in the back of my head and when chatting about the  collapsible stuff in the board the idea of modelling Bender came up so here we are.

Hover-Board (Aftershock) Stage 2!

An original series idea I have had cooking in my head for years is known as Aftershock, set on an earth distinct from our own where magic, ki martial artists, psychics and sci-fi tech can all intermingle. 

Now that I have finished my business units I've decided to make a god of my 3D business and expand m portfolio, and ideally try to develop Aftershock further, hence this project.

Adorabat (Mao Mao: Fanart)

So with my Cert 4 in Business finally wrapped up I decided to knock the rust off by getting back into modelling and as new Mao Mao content is finally available I thought this would be a fun way to kick things off. All together this took maybe 2 days at most? 

I have also attached some posed images and a T-Pose below.

Katsu Cat Ciel (Time is a Wasting)

Ciel Soleil of the web series RWBY re-designed at one of Dillon Goo's Katsu Cat characters, double the fan art, double the fun! 

I commissioned the rig and the shaders hail from Lightning Boy Studios hair shaders and Miguel Barbosa's toon shader as a base for the fur and clothing. The background hails from the RWBY wiki and is the symbol of Atlas's Ciel's nation, though I made some color edits. 

I may do more of these in the future if interested give a shout :)

Miku - Fan Art of Fan Art

This is a collab piece based on the wonderful Miku design by @icedcitruss on twitter.

I provided the model (barring for the twin tails) and base colors while @s_assy_girl did a glamorous paint over and added in the twin tails.

Future Ruby Breakdancing (Fanart)

This is an adult Ruby Rose from S-assy's future RWBY AU, with textures from their and tumblr users Kusnilive's work, animation from Mixamo and music from Music Maker.   I mostly did this to get a feel for what Ruby might look like in 3D and for fun, which is It was, not sure what project I'll be doing next.

Kipo 3D

A little while back I binged Kipo and the age of the wonderbeasts and utterly adored it and decided I wanted to try modelling the main character.

And thanks to some awesome feedback and cool reference gathered from the show and here (https://twitter.com/radsechrist/statu...) I have finished!

I'm pretty proud of this model and happy with my modelling time too, this was a good experience. If you have any i...

Xanthos (Ancient City)

This project was inspired by this piece (https://www.artstation.com/artwork/ozJnw) created by Aras Jamal who was kind enough to provide me with permission & feedback in this venture.

I had long been tinkering with the idea of a desert themed city & when I saw the piece in question I decided it was exactly what I was looking for and checked to make sure I could model it. Naturally the birds eye view...

Aero-Cycle (Mao Mao Hero's of Pure Heart)

I decided to do a small project over the last couple of days and because Mao Mao was such a hilarious show and the bike such a neat but straightforward design I decided to model, paint and render this!

It also gave me the chance to test out these pipes you can see connecting the engine element and rocket, which I purchased from https://www.artstation.com/vin-c/store special at the Artstation Market Place. View Post
