Attending my first ever con 🤓

Wew lad

In 10 000 years when I'm done with this it's so over for you guys

Half the poly budget used up, 32k starting to look sweaty....

Flow state insanity

Someone get me on Shark Tank, I'm gonna be rich!

Testing silhouettes in Second Life

Nevrean VRC/SL avatar - home stretch on detailing! Looking forward to retopo and painting!

At da kafe

WIP of something completely normal

No plan, no process, brain empty, just extrude, smooth, extrude, smooth

Extremely quick and furious art test, done across 3 evenings or so

Yeah I'm an artist all right

Rainbow Okapi for Ragu

Hel in high spirits, despite getting totally hammered last night Should have spent more time on FX, but I kind of feel like I should be doing studies instead to get back into the swing of things!

Gweh WIP

Trying out Krita, haven't drawn in a decade. Blocking out a run of the mill Baroness

Got to spend a bit more time on this, in between other projects. Quads need work, and abs need to overlap ribs. Also feel like upper arms ought to have more volume, not sure!

VRC Fenra Release! It's been a decade in the making, but I just wrapped up the Fenra avatar I have been working on, and pushed it up on Gumroad; krample.gumroad.com/l/zolcs It is a very vibrant and complex avatar, and I am very proud of it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=27Ne... Please check it out >:o

Testing the Big Yappers

Surely spending 10 000 hours on a gallery scene that most users will see for 26 seconds is a justifiable use of time. Enviro (and a lot of other nitpick) by SquareAnon!

God it's been like five years since I painted any textures

What if we did just one more outfit...

Add facetracking, they said It'd be fun, they said If you have facetracking in VRC, and want to help me test this avatar, prod me on Discord! (I only possess a Quest :pensivecowboybread:)

Fitting within a 15k tri budget means I can't justify male/female clothing, so I have to ensure each piece fits both genders with blendshapes. Reshaping for male is hard, since UVs have to not break textures despite very different topo. Normals will be solved by the shader!

Dear diary Today I was struck by divine inspiration

I have just about wrapped up the Quest version of the Fenra, aiming for a weekend release~ Some UV cleanup to do, but I'm very happy about the polycount reduction, might try to shave down another 2k to help fit in one extra outfit!

Idle Loop

Blocking continues - not used to doing fluff and feathers. Feedback from Nevrean experts very welcome, would love to get this right~

I have ported my kobolds over to the new VRC marketplace, with six wonderful snaggly variants now available directly ingame - no Unity hassle required! I don't usually ask, but if you have friends could be interested, I would greatly appreciate a bit of a signal boost! 💚

HELP I BROKE SOMETHING

I went back on forth on this forever, but this is going to be how I will do the feathers. Needs a sharpening pass once I'm done positioning them. The female wings will be a LOT harder.

Addressing state change mishaps...

Getting closer! I am a lot happier with the overall anatomy, although I feel he's a bit too human now, needing more of a jutting chest and lordosis

Nevrean blocking progress, happy with the side silhouette

Two days just sculpting scales, and the whole rest of the avatar to go. Onwards to the feet....

Bird up

Back at it, spent all day sculpting bangs. I have never found a fast way to do hair I like.

Iterating on hair, segmenting into main bodies before doing fine curls

Birthday present, for a friend!

In engine testing, nearing the finish line - really excited, I think they look fantastic! Incredibly happy with how the wings feel~

Serving sizes, for all appetites

Home stretch vrc prep, release soon! I teamed up with SquareAnon to help me finish the Fenra without burning out, he's been doing fantastic work!

Fenra facial blendshape prep for pending VRC release!

Ten minute teapot

Another old portfolio piece. Funnily enough, also the reason SketchFab blocked adult content (sketchfab.com/blogs/commun...) Suppose getting deertaur honkers on the front page violated the NAP Concept by Iris Muddy!

Detail render

I was, in particular, really proud of how I did the fluids, which took a lot of research. I came up with a method of using curves of spheres to generate areas of geo density, and then really aggressive dynameshing to form liquid strands.

Old portfolio piece I never posted here, which helped me get my first industry job back in 2017! Based on a scene from my all time favourite manga, Blade of the Immortal, by Hiroaki Samura Sculpted in zBrush
