Well. I actually managed to rig the motor scooter in blender.

Time for new Ewe. 🐑 Riviera doing her best to set the record straight because she KNOWS what people around here like. 😏

Working in Clip studio again since the sketch yesterday and i'm now remembering I have 480 fonts saved in it. I can guarantee there's 80% of these I've never used. 😅

Okay we now return to the game of "lets try and shake the rust off and keep the existential fear of forgetting how to draw at bay". I actually don't know if i'm gonna go anywhere with this but just need to start drawing SOMETHING and this was the first thing on my mind. lol

I took way too long on this thing but I'm just glad to have it done. 😄 Whether it will see use, time will tell. 🤔

Continuing to realize the technical depths of rigging/animating(especially if it needs to be made usable in a game engine) is almost akin to looking into some kind of lovecraftian vault. I think I'm only now starting to grasp how much more research I'm going to need to do with this. 💀🤡😅

(COMMISSION) I still don't have a name for this absolute Cretin of a rabbit, and Yet I already got commisioned to draw her. How could I refuse? 😉

I wanna pat myself on the back now that the modeling/texturing is pretty much done. 😄 But I am NOT looking forward to rigging/weight painting her and the sanity slippage that is going to follow that. 🤪

Sorry for posting yet ANOTHER teaser, but UVs are taking a bit longer than expected. Still, making fairly good progress on her! 😄

Going to be honest I've got the stupidest grin on my face working on this. Someone needs to take away my blender privileges because I'm getting too indulgent with it. lol

Trying my best to keep the poly counts for her low to keep at least some remnant of a low-poly aesthetic intact but i'm VERY quickly falling to temptation to SHAMELESSLY add more polys when it comes to "certain areas".

Next character I wanna model in blender is a little more elaborate. XD Honestly I'm at the point where I'm a little stunlocked on how I wanna do her color scheme aside from a vague direction, and I think i'm just gonna go ahead and start modeling her while I decide on it.

Oh! I should mention I did get him fully rigged and figure out(Haphazardly) how to get around hip/butt deformations. Weirdly enough aside from some topography changes, adding additional Def bones to the butt to redistribute the weight did a LOT.

There is some kind of Holy Grail combo of weight painting, bone placement, and topology that can prevent a character's butt from shrinking into non-existence with extreme leg movements and I just haven't found it yet! And if I can't do that? I'm gonna jury-rig an amatuerish fix for it.🤪

Okay, through sheer brute force and countless hours put in, I can say animating isn't too bad getting the hang of. and i've managed to get the hang of rigging limb joints through sheer brute force. But Dear god I did not expect the hips/pelvis to be so aggravating, caffiene alone can't fix this. 💀

Getting comfortable with modelling/texturing in blender and thinking "this isn't that bad" only to then realize the real part that's going to drive me insane trying to learn is rigging/animation. Not since Darkest Dungeon have I been reminded that "Overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer"

Big Boobs Day? Really? We're really running out of ideas with all these days they're making up. Fine, i'll play ball and hastily show an extremely rough wip of something to stay relevent. 🐰 (ignore the fact that I did this last night and had no idea this "holiday" was a thing.)

I fear no man. But that thing.. It scares me.

Using Jet Set Radio 1's model style as a vague jumping off point to practice some modeling. 😄 Learning Blender was not on my bingo sheet for this year. I'll see you all in five years once I manage to make it through the psychic damage of figuring out how to rig/animate. lol

And of course I made a nude version as a follow up, It would be an injustice not to. 😏

Some fanart of @watchflwristrocket.bsky.social 's newest OC, Riviera, naked, plump, and in denial.

An important point of clarification: This is not a reference sheet. No, it's a "Reference Sheep".🐑

Beep Beep, very vain sheep.🎵

Also, this was my first time actually giving clip studio's timelapse feature a go after ignoring it for a million years. Now you can finally see my haphazard inking/coloring process in action. lol

Yes, the fluff is modular. No, I don't have a name for her yet. I used up all the mental energy I had on hand when designing her and didn't actually think I'd get this far. 😅

Alright its midnight and everyone's asleep, which means it's time to post ewe's. Still in the iteration phase of course, and I'm throwing random stuff at the wall right now to see what sticks.🐑

This was something I'd been wanting to save until after an initial itchio release, but now that we kind of know that will be quite a ways off, I know it's not healthy to keep grinding without taking a break of some sort. @sssalas.bsky.social has been very understanding about it as well.

Furthermore, for the first time since starting this project, I'm actually having to force myself to take an extended break from working on the RPG due to burnout reasons. Preferably to work on smaller projects/draw more, something I haven't been able to do as much as I'd like.

Update on game progress: The initial limited test releases on discord gave us valuable info and feedback! And I can't thank the playtesters enough!💞However, it also showed that we've still got a LOT of bugs/balance to fix. I think I can safely say not to expect a summer release unfortunately. 😕
