#fanart for #finalfantasyfables #chocobotales that I made a few years ago and I still quite like it. It incorporates Tailo the #chocobo as well as the phoenix, Tonberry and beanstalk from the DS game. I like to draw them with fuzzy lines and paper textures for that story book feel #art #finalfantasy

Now something a bit different, this is Tailo who is what I named the #chocobo from my #finalfantasyfables #chocobotales playthrough. I made pngs so that I could put funny little interactions in my video edits but I wanted some better ones so here's the original sheet vs the new. #finalfantasy #art

Added bones for #3d Gales based on built in rigs in #blender but I deleted all the face bones and some others cause I'm trying to keep it simple with face texture animations and simpler ear bones. Added some kinematics for arms, legs, ears and tail for nicer movements #gamedev #indiedev #lieofthesky

Added bag and his iconic long sleeved tailcoat for #3d Gales, all textured. I went with exporting the UV's and painting over it in #Krita over using the #blender painting. It doesn't have the line weights or colour blending options I'm used to. #gamedev #indiedev #lieofthesky

Attempt 2 at #3d model Gales with added seams ready for UV unwrapping. I've still messed up the topology in places, specially the ears but at least they're T-posed and his hairs on the right side this time. #gamedev #indiedev #blender #lieofthesky

The first #3d model I ever got far enough to texture and a first go at modelling Gales. I realised I put his hair spikes on the wrong side and forgot to model his ears in T-Pose along with other stuff so I had to start again. Was good learning for a first go. #gamedev #indiedev #blender #lieofthesky

The amazingly talented #renkumoo made this drawing of Gales based of my character sheet and for potential use for basing a simpler #3d model off. I love how thick his ears are in this version and his long sleeves are perfect 😍 #gamedev #indiedev #art #lieofthesky

#animated gif I made showing how I'd like Gales to walk and run. He has to flick his long sleeves up around his shoulders so he can then run on all fours. As you can tell, I haven't studied animation but I needed a basic way to represent the movements. #gamedev #indiedev #art #lieofthesky

Drawings of Gales and his clothing from front and back in preparation for creating a #3D model of him. His tailcoat has long sleeves that cover over his paws and his ears by default droop down but I also want the ability to move them up when he's emoting. #gamedev #indiedev #art #lieofthesky

Character sheet for Ni-Ohm the Moorose and part of the Avaries family. Extraordinarily proud, she takes no nonsense and appears to have a fiery temper but once you earn her trust, you gain unwavering loyalty from someone who's also not afraid to challenge you. #gamedev #indiedev #art #lieofthesky

Character sheet for Ruuto, the second party member of the game I'm developing. Also a Leporid, he first appears stoic, aggressive and unwilling to back down but of course this face is hiding a very protective and caring nature. #gamedev #indiedev #art #lieofthesky

Character sheet for Gales, my starting character for my game. He's a Leporid, a rabbit like creature with a long tail and special unique ability. He's sweet natured, kind and friendly but tends to hide his negative emotions and in particular struggles to let go. #gamedev #indiedev #art #lieofthesky

Sketch of Gales, one of my main characters for a game I'm developing called "Lie Of The Sky." It's a fantasy style, turn based RPG inspired by the classic Final Fantasy, mainly IX, series. Takes place in a world inhabited by animal like creatures and wild magic. #gamedev #indiedev #art #lieofthesky
