After several botched attempts and a LOT of frustration, I finally got that old animation rendered out just to see what it looked like. Still not too bad for a 2nd attempt, but it’ll definitely be a skill to try and work on more later. #b3d #animation #SonicTheHedgehog

So, I made an attempt at animating for the 1st time. Very much WIP and the timing is WAY too slow, but I've already learned a good bit in regard to posing, adding weight to movements, etc. Based off a fun little animation by Tyson Hesse here: #animation

For this cover I wanted to do something a little high-concept and create an animation that had exactly 50 frames, with a key pose that landed right in the middle. It was tricky coming up with something that would fit tightly onto a cover, but I had a lot of fun figuring it out.

Elaborating on some small wording confusion I think some people took ”Modern-style Sonic” to mean that it was my own inspired design take for him - which is what I would usually do. But that’s not the case, it’s pretty much 100% the standard model design you’re familiar with

Quick question, y'all So I've been using the same basic eye shader for years, adjusting and adding to the node setup depending on the look I need. With Mario, this is the best I've gotten it to look. If I got the nodes cleaned up, would a Ko-fi download interest anyone?

And to reiterate, since I took my Gumroad page down, this is the Google Drive link directly to the model for those that want it I haven’t put it on my current Ko-fi page due to not being satisfied with the model anymore. But people do still want it, so…

Pulled an all-nighter to get this done, but I do like how it came out. Just wish it didn’t look so washed out on my phone compared to my iPad and PC monitor

@bluwolfblitz I think Mario Wonder will for sure be on the family list... hell, very possibly win it. But with how polarizing Superstars has been in just a few days (even amongst fans), and combined with the reason you mentioned as well... I don't see it even being a contender honestly.

Hey, y'all The next update for Classic Sonic is still in the works, it's just turning out to be a much bigger update than initially planned. Quite a few new additions, fixes, enhancements and changes - both big and small Hopefully will be able to show more soon 👍

A little surprise for y'all I've been wanting to do this since Superstars was announced, and it's been 1+ month since I began working on this - but I think I can finally say it's ready. I hope everyone gets some good use out of this Classic Sonic rig!

Back in business. I'll be trying to get back into the swing of things soon, but even in testing, this is already lapping circles around my busted old laptop. Let's fucking go.

Really trying to salvage the hair material so I don't have to completely redo the hair curves. It does look softer, and less sharp and flat than it did before, but not perfect #b3d #SuperMario

While I'm taking my small break, I'm curious if anyone will be able to guess who this will eventually be👀 And a hint: it's not Young Link (or any Zelda character), but I'm heavily basing my redesign of this character on him, both stylistically and proportionally. #b3d #sculpt

Very busy times for me right now... I'll be back to posting whenever I can, but I'm on a 2-job grind at the moment so I haven't had time to dedicate to projects for a while. In the meantime, it's not much but these are shots of the last thing I worked on

I'm at work currently, but once I get the chance I'll be updating the info doc and page description to reflect that. The info doc has also been updated with important credits for certain textures used, which I had missed before publishing Sorry for the inconvenience, y'all

More Owlboy progress The hair curves are done, and modeling out basic shapes to start sculpting/detailing the clothes The feathers on his forehead are using placeholder mats until I can stop being lazy and make a proper texture, or find a way to procedurally generate them #b3d

Couldn't help but think of this old project when I watched that new trailer today... Maybe someday I can finish it, we'll see (As far as the trailer though, overall very pleasantly surprised and actively interested)

If anyone even cares, I’ve pretty much given up on this godawful platform. If I drop any more public rigs or anything, I’ll still post them here for the sake of people knowing about them, but I won’t be investing any more effort to this shitstain site. Fuck Musk, Twitter AND X.

And here's a small demo showing the new spin ball controls. It's definitely NOT a perfect system - this is my first time trying something like this. Unfortunately, Blender also has some crippling limitations regarding drivers, bone layers, and lattice binding

I truly hope there's artists out there forming a new platform for us to thrive on. We've lost fucking everything, all in the name of chasing these bullshit trends that do nothing but harm all of us that have invested countless hours into developing our craft. We need a new home.

So the repackaged eye shader is basically done as far as I can tell, just have to create a product page and preview images. This is honestly my least favorite part of the process, but once that's done, it will go live on my Ko-Fi

Just curious... Would any artists out there (3D or 2D, either way) be interested in a collab project at any point? Other than a couple of times, I've never really done a serious collab with any other artists before, could be kind of fun

Before I leave for work today, I wanted to say thanks for 1K followers, y'all! 🎉 I already have my next project in mind, and it's a character I haven't done before - one of my own creation. I have to make a full model sheet for him first, but I'm excited to get started on him

So... DAN comes from my first (nick)name C is my middle initial A is my last initial It was originally going to just be Danca. But I didn't like how it sounded, so I added the first 2 letters at the end Also, my logo (which I designed myself) has each letter hidden within

Figured I might as well show off the last thing I was working on here and there before my computer killed itself: So the whole thought process was to give Sly a sort of Robin Hood-esque look, taking cues from both Thieves in Time and that movie/TV show that never came to pass

My main points of inspiration/reference for this take: - official design from Crash 4 - a fan-made character sculpt by Nikita Kamlenok - the "Smashified" fan art by @SeanHicksART , @artsyomni , and @ChrisSzczesiul - official design from Skylanders Imaginators

I just discovered this Blender add-on, haven't tested it yet though. But if it's as capable as I'm hoping it is, it'll allow me to provide game-friendly versions of future character rigs 🤞

Second, I do want to make sure I set proper expectations - this is likely the only Sonic content you'll be seeing here. This go-round, I don't plan on being mainly Sonic-focused for the sake of popularity. There's many other character projects I'd like to eventually get to.

@existingdebeing First off, this looks fantastic I'm curious what shader this is using? Something pre-built like the Lightning Boy shader or did you build the shaders from scratch?

@SeanHicksART Much appreciated! I kinda wanted to do this just to prove that the standard Sonic model is 100% fine, it’s just not utilized to its fullest potential in most cases

Did a lot of node restructuring in order to get the customization working, but it's coming along nicely. The only thing is the displacement doesn't follow the scale of the eye texture right now. Not sure if I'll be able to get that working, but I'll try.

@petstealer__ All the glowing effects were done by hand in Procreate afterwards, the original render is just a standard green colored gem material with slight emissive properties
