Danglin'

Weekly friday update!

• Had an immensely busy weekend, it was quite difficult to get back into the groove this week.
• Got into full swing of things on thursday.
• Poses done along with extra gear and cleanup, ready for lighting!

The still is coming together nicely - might have it done either late monday or tuesday.

Thank you!

Grow'er, Not a Show'er

Weekly friday update!

• Been working away at the stallion this week..
• ... and the big boy's complete! Missing mane and tail, but those will be done later.

Planning to make a mare simultaneously from this point on, can utilize the stallion sculpt to speed up the process.

Next week I'll get to some still renders. Got a couple of ideas.

Now that the extra bull is ready as well, contemplating on a follow-up for Tip Toe Doe. He can't...

Pleasure on Pine St.

Weekly friday update!

• First half of week was spent on making extra anonymous bull character.
• Hood done and implemented into the rig.
• Made alternate texture for the new bull.
• Went back to work on the horse, doing the naughty bits, then it'll only be the face left before it can get retopo'd.

Planning to do maybe a couple of still renders this month.

There may be a multi-scene project coming, a follow-up to the last project "Tip...

Going and going

Weekly friday update!

• Took monday off, crunched end of last week, worked saturday as well (to make the July release).
• Tuesday was also taking it easy, did some cleanup (90gb cleared just from 3d projects).
• Wednesday started updating the rigs a bit, and begun working on the extra bulls (elaborated below).
• Rest of the week was modelling, texturing, and integrating stuff into the bull rig.

Weekly friday update!

No picture in this update because:

• Compositing and rendering the final as writing this.
• Publishing it late tonight!
• Doing a bit of crunching, but will definitely make this month's release before it's over.

Thank you!

Eeeeeee3

Weekly friday update!

• Spent the entire week animating. The gear took quite a bit of care.
• Came up with a hood for extra bulls for when it's needed. Change up the textures and bam.

Aiming to release the animation next week, got maybe a day on it left before moving on to lighting and the rest.

Have a good weekend!

Thank you!

Eeeeeee

Weekly friday update!

• Planned out this month's animation.
• Made extra piece of gear, featured in the upcoming animation.
• Set up the scene with extra rigging.
• Made an animatic.
• Rest of the week has been spent on animating. It's well under way, may be done and out next week!

Thank you!

Moving on up

Weekly friday update!

• Did storyboarding for a commission a couple of days this week.
• Tuesday national day off (lucky year)!
• Done some minor updates to deerboy rig, in prep for next project.
• Got to sketching ideas for the next animation. Had some raunchy brainstorming with viewers (mostly Blou) during one stream. Decided to do this one deceptively simple animation this month.

Planning to do some nice Deerboy renders for next month in various b...

Clippity-cloppity

Weekly Friday update!

• Did some work on a commission.
• Spent the rest of the week studying equines (donks too) and sculpting the next character (he's one big boy!).
• Lots of sketches done, will pick the best and post them (they're low-res by default, it'll be on public galleries).

Next week we'll plan on this month's (July) animation.

Thank you!

Maximum Overdrive

Weekly friday update!

• Worked on a commission.
• Started a horse block-in! We're revving up the engines.
• Studied the donks this week. Slowly getting a hang on them. Mammoth breed specifically, Blou brought those up.
• Midsummer national holiday thursday!
• Friday was mostly posting, then studied donkers again.

In other news - drafting up the sub page updates, going to see if emails can support nice layouts with images/video...

Turning a New Page

Weekly friday update!

• It was rather nice to get the extra angles done in a timely manner.
• Bound Deer is complete, at least for now.
• Started working on a new addition to the barn. Details later. ;} But it's part of the new strategy.
• Next week is for commissioned work, and some for the new character.
• Either next or week after, all sub pages will be updated. Not much will change, mostly time allocations, strategy, maybe have more clear descriptions...

Deer Cometh

Weekly friday update!

• Lit, rendered, and composited the animation early this week.
• Ran into some video encoding issues on tuesday. Lots of annoyances with loss of color accuracy, but there's nothing I can do.
• However, updated some bits and pieces regarding video encoding, gained small improvements, so it wasn't a waste of time after all!
• Will soon be updating tier rewards to reflect a few changes that happened over time, as well as goals.
• Change...

Bound Deer - Animation Done

Weekly friday update!

• Good news! The animation is complete, did all the touchups and started lighting today (friday). Hoped to maybe get done with the render and composite today but unfortunately hiccups took a bit of time away and that optimistic estimation was.. well.. optimistic. :D
• It's good. <3
• No preview this week, since it's so close to done. If rendering is as fast as initially calculated, should definitely make a monday release. At worst, it'...

POLL: Planning to shift more towards 2D art.

(it may very well lead to more frequent posting since turnaround is real quick; move will be gradual)

Should stream notifications be posted on here?

(and deleted after stream is done, to avoid clutter || notifications are already posted on IB, FA, Twitter)

(starting simple, let me know if you'd like a bunch of polls out at once or space them out day by day - don't want to overwhelm. Otherwise I'll do whatever. :} )

Bound Deer - Animatic

Weekly friday update!

• Made a piece of furniture fit for a dungeon setting. To lie on, lean on, get bent over on. ;}

• While setting up initial poses, noticed the deer needed extra rigging for the ænus. Tweaked what was already there. Planning to add extra controls at some point for extra accommodating fit.
• Did a quick animatic to get a feel for length and get rou...

Weekly friday update!

• This week's been difficult, but managed to recover and do planning today at last.

•     Could animate another one of these sketches on the next turn, they're not scraps. :}

Spindle

Weekly (1 day late) friday update!

This week was spent working on the sculpt commission.

Rather rusty, and it's kicking my ass a little, but that won't stop me!

There is a rough body there too, but it's too horrible to show, enjoy some head that's real close to the desired likeness.

Might have more to show next week once the head is blocked in fine.

Edit: Forgot to mention - zbrush has a timelapse thing in it, never knew it had one. Wi...

Schnitzelin'

Weekly friday update!

Another animation complete! Here's the week's breakdown (at least the concise version)

1.. The long weekend was nice. Gave a chance to recover and rethink future direction of art and the like. Nothing drastic, just need to change up scheduling and methods. I may start some polls across subs to see how some of you might feel about the changes which won't be made abruptly.

2.. Tuesday got ate up by family matters.

3.. Found ways to optimize the rend...
