RWBY V9 Spoilers - Somewhat Model #6

Sorta dragged my feet on this cos texturing is hard, but barring some minor corrections and doing the back I m quite happy with how this is coming together. 

Course it might all fall apart once I apply a Toon shader XD

RWBY V9 Spoilers - Somewhat Model #1

I adored Little so freaking much, but I can't refute Somewhat, they are precious and cool and so I am modelling them. 

Its been over two weeks so this should be good practice.

RWBY Board Game Board #2

Not sure I like the game piece but pretty pleased with the board!

RWBY Board Game Board

I really liked the board from Rude Red & Royal so I wanted to try modelling it. 

This took me over five freaking iterations! 

I'm debating following the concept art and making each of the squares more clearly distinct or just texturing them.

Ruby Rose (Vacuo Design) Completed!

And with this I finish Ruby's Vacuo design! 

I included a GIF to show off the entire design at the end. 

I shifted around some of the greys and browns to more closely resemble Yang's usage of those colors and managed to get a basic rig working!

Ruby Rose Vacuo Design Base Design

Liking this new spin a lot, still need to gusdsy it up a bit, give her hair and such though.

Ruby Rose Vacuo Design (Concepting)

So, I've been musing that a big mark for Ruby's character development will be stopping mimicing her mother so much and be trying to find her own identity. 

With that in mind I am dabbling in a Vacuo design and would love some feedback, feel free to suggest changing, removing or adding whatever, I'll put some of my inspirations on her too.

Muscles #3

I redid the lower torso,, arms and hands! 

View Post

Muscles #2

I decided to redo the legs from scratch (On the left) I think they look better, but I am less sure on the crotch area, thoughts?

Muscles

I am sick of trying and failing to draw muscle definition lines onto models, so get ready for a new era of cheeked up beefcakes!

A Question:

Weird question, but can anyone else think of any other ‘adults tm’ in series?

What I mean by this is a character who is the sole and true adult in the room so to speak. Whether they actually are an adult is irrelevant to their meta role as the one who has some degree of medium awareness or maturity that eclipses the rest of the cast.

Now, some might be tempted to say Iroh, or list off a character who is basically game breaking but neither of those are what I mean. Iron is...

Channel Updates!

Hi, 

So sorry for the delay on this weeks video, Bardock and I had some issues with audio and it is a loooong video by my standards and copyright claims are a bastard. 

Anyway, I figured I might share some other behind the scenes developments to make up for it. 

You see, along with my regulars video content I've been discussing some expansions to the video roster to shake things up and would be interested to hear your takes.

Not happy with how I cheesed the head, but liking my experiments with clothing modelling.

Machina Jinja (Rigged)

Well, its finally here! 

I had to outsource the rigging and even then do some corrective weight painting, this model is so much more complicated on the inside that it looks on the surface XD Still I am quite pleased with the result.

Overall pretty happy with this one, definitely some improvements I could make in hindsight but for a quick job I am very pleased.

Lion Yang - RWBYxSonic crossover Part 3

The texturing was done via cheezing a bit and use using the reference sheets re=-existing colors, so its a bit less detailed, but by the same token its also finished ;) 

Still need to tinker with the eyes and maybbe the mouth a little but overall very pleased!
