spectacled bear WIP1

The rough sketch, I plan to give her a happy expression with a little teeth. I also plan to stream more progress tomorrow!

Next project/Future goals

Next project I plan on working on some sort of bear, female. Im thinking about working on a smaller species such as a black or sun.

I am going to be working in tandom every now and then with my current 3D project, so I should be done around the end of the month with the bear.

On to future goals. I have been further considering where to go with my work once I really get a hang of 3D, and its very possible that I might stick mostly to 3D in the near future and likely do more concept ...

Dingo, test render.

Just a test render, the final product should look way nicer than this. This is 10% of what has to be done. the fur texture here only has color data, its still missing glossiness and depth to actually make the fur stand out. I have to work on a normal and speculator map for that but not before I finish texturing the whole body in the first place.I then have to go in there and add loose geometry to make her appear more fuzzy and less flat around the edges. its all going to be hand painted textures...

American Badger

The cutest patootest cuddle bean.

check the stream of me finishing her up. 

3D art interest poll

My sudden infatuation with 3D programs and art and the time I have spent on them has had me a little worried as too what patrons think of the sudden switch of work. this poll is just to gauge interest in 3D artwork

Thing is, I have been considering switching to mostly 3D artwork with hand painted textures. I feel I can work on a model a month and get them set to pose in any way one wishes. This may again rip into my 2D art time. I do plan on keeping the same style in my current art in my ...

Stream starts at 5EST

Dingo high ploy bust and body texture

I am doing alot more work on this and getting a lot farther than I thought I would. both blender and Zbrush have been some what of a breeze to learn and the prospect off all the new things I can do with a fully textured 3D model exite me. I really want to forgive myself if any patrons expected more work on 2D artwork this month, or atleast more focus, but I have had a big spark of inspiration and really aim to get this lady articulated and textured before the end of the month. Maybe even in a ni...

Streaming tomorrow!/ 3D stuff update.

Going to finish my badger project tomorrow on a stream, might of done things a little quicker this month with more projects, but spent a lot of time learning the programs, good news is I found some one that may be interested in helping me out with my 3D projects, so I might just save a little time with that.

Going to start a stream around 4EST or 5EST depending.

American badger WIP6

American badger WIP5

I want to fix the feat a little.

Low poly Mesh

My on going project/learning work. This is proving to be a crazy challenge. The model without textures looks alright but I dread what it might look like once I texture it (and even attempt to pose it), whatever method I might use. not sure if that is going to be anytime soon however. I might feel more confident if I find other 3D artists to help me out. Going to change this from a Jackal to  a dingo as the fur is alot simpler, and I don't plan to use fancy hair particals and instead go for ...

American badger WIP4

Spent alot of today practicing 3D stuff, so spent some time tonight to get a feel for the rest of this image and keep the momentum on this badger. 

Jackal mesh

Been working on this jackal mesh little by little on Zbrush while I get used to blender. bottom most image is an attempt at a simple sloppy pose done without a rig (I just moved the mesh around a bit) to see how viable a semi-anthro mesh is as a character model you can actually rig.

The way the forward swept shoulder blades are placed makes the range of motion kinda wonky and its easy to get ugly clipping polygons. The butt seems to pose rather nicely though. My biggist fear is that I wor...

American badger WIP3

so long.

Streaming 6:30 EST

join me! 

Back/New plans and projects, let me know what you think.

So hopefully this is the last bit of trouble I have for a while. With my time off I have considered this for a while, and I really want to go into 3D modeling, this of course means that I have to dedicate time to learning and working on projects outside Photoshop in other 3D programs, namely blender and Zbrush. because of this I plan to reduce my monthly project aim by 2 full projects a month as apposed to 3.

So what do I plan to work on exactly in 3D? for now, mostly character models, no...

Computer troble again

This is the third Psu that broke and this one only lasted a day before the inside popped loudly. I dont know what to make of this string but even if i get a new Psu today i am not going to start my computer untill i get to the source of this problem.

I am very sorry about this i planed to work on a good amount of images and to show some more progress on 3d content but things are just not going my wa this month.

Streaming today!

Around 5:00 EST!

Back up and running.

Was able to replace my PSU today, thanks to your patronage, it did not cost me much! Also, thankfully that's all that got fried. Going to be doing a stream tomorrow and spend some time on the sketch and painting of the current badger project. was afraid this problem would be worse but for now its mostly resolved until I can figure out whats casueing the surging on my machine. going to aim for 3 projects this month.

Computer trouble.

My computer wont turn on. I dont really know why but i assume its the power supply as i dont even get lights. This supply is hardly two months old and i am stressed that if i replace it again my computer still wont turn on because of some other broken part.  Then it would just be a waste of time and money.

I am incredibly stressed in general but either way i plan to rplace the part tommrow if not today. Expect a small hiatus but most likely il get just 2 projects done this month. I am ver...

canine semi-anthro 3d base sculpt WIP

Just to announce some new endeavors I am going to be working on, I do not plan on working on 3D variations of my artwork in fully possed and textured renders of nice scenes any time soon (Even though I thought about it)  but instead for the time being I am an interested in making rig-able base models for animators to use.

for now its more of a curiosity but I would definitely want to see something like this textured posed or animated. Have to figure where to go from here and what to ...

American badge WIP2

this is the last general pose I am going with, I am streaming after this and cleaning up the lines a little but I will be painting too. forgive any delays, I have been working on a side project that I will be posting a little of after this.

let me know what you think of the pose!

American badger WIP1

Not to happy with the sketch so far. don't like the body or head to much. I am likely to change this a good bit. sorry for taking a while to post a sketch I have been working on SECRET projects on the side.

Female american badger up next.

Next up is a female badger,  will most likely be on her back with her belly up.

Tigress

Here she is! those stripes were hell! but I think I learned a lot from the challenge.

Next image, whatever it is, is going to be of less complex fur!

Tigress WIP 8

Just the last of those sheets and that leg left. might finish this tommrow but I may also give it time to polish the image and maybe, work on a rimlight if im up to it.  

Streaming

Streaming starts in a bit.

Tigress WIP 7

I feel once I get the last of the midsection stripes down the rest of her should be Ez as the belly should not have so much thick stripes. once I get to the belly I might think of adding some highlights to make her pop a little more.

Have been doing only a little bit of work with this one as I want to get this one right. might not finish this, this month but I will most likely get most of it done. sorry if anyone expected more images this month!

This time I will be streaming tommro...

Tigress WIP 6

Did not get a lot done today, mostly very slight details and the beginnings of the sheets.  I am feeling a little unsure as to how to proceed and am a little afraid I might lose myself if I start on the left hand paw and the rest of the torso to soon without really getting a feel for the fur and lighting in my head first.

I want to really nail the fabric on this one so I want to make sure the sheets don't clash with the colors on the tiger and that they realisticly fold at her weight...
