This fur is my most complex yet. I am using separate hair particles to create a more realistic double coat, with a short, thick, close to the skin coat underneath and a clumpy and thin coat above. I am also using a fancy shadier trick to give each strand a variety in brightness from one and other. I want to pose and finish this tomorrow hopefully, so I can get started on the male mountain lion cha...

Getting the fur right was a pain but I think I got it down alright. short fur likes to make very noisy lighting with a bunch of fireflies.

Just taking the runners up from the last poll. just a quick poll as I plan to do both of these this month, but which one first? both will be new characters!

blend for trilla the dingo. this is on alpha blender so make sure you are up to date on the latest daily build. all textures should be packed in the file itself.

First project of the month is done. today is the last day for the next project poll so take your pick!
Was hoping I would finish the new Dingo project today, but I am giving it more time for refinement.
I want to plan some projects ahead of time so here are a few choices. the choices with new characters might take a little more time as those require finishing up some topology. Anya and valencia also need some reworking before I start but not as much as the new characters.
This will not be the final pose! she is pretty much done, just have to groom the top coat a little then figure out a nice pose for her. I want to do something where she is on her belly.

I will be streaming around 5EST PM
trying to finish up the textures and fur for the current dingo project. I will be working for quite a bit
if the URL does not work let me know.
an example of the changes to the new meshes. from top left right, bottom left right. female canine mesh, lion mesh, lioness mesh and male canine mesh.
as you can see I added topology for male parts as well as the paws, I also added teats for the female models.
I still have the jaguar mesh and bear mesh to finish, as well as the redpanda mesh. I will likely finish these after I finis...
I have learned quite a few things since I started 3D work, enough to see the sloppy designs in my current models toplologies, many things that make work not just less appealing but give more troubles. Among many mistakes the largest being how I made the paw-pads as a different object instead of just part of the same mesh as the body. Not only does this make things more of a hassle to work with whe...

This pose is basically done and ready to render but there are just little teeny things that bother me tremendously. I don't want to be quick to post this but I am sure that this will fit in as the 4th project of the month. I feel like going with the black sheets but wanted to show the differences.

I will be posing and grooming Helga on the bed prop. I might also put a little work in zbrush on the equine model I am working on. this will serve as a base to sculpt other even and odd toed ungulates.
Edit: that stream crashed

Going to be changing the description on my 5$ and 10$ tier, nothing to different, still same least 3 projects a month just without the sketch and tiff part. there are still going to be WIP's. for the 10$ tier I will be adding blend files as rewards now too.
as for the next project. I am going to try to render another Helga this month, this time on the bed.
Thankfully unlike the lion, this render did not give me to much trouble and required very little tweaking in Photoshop.

this is just about done, she just needs a little more work done, learned I messed something up big in blender that made all my fur look thin and lack any volume. well not really my fault. turns out an important parameter that controls the tapering of the fur shaft was completely inverted or at least opposite to what was described online in the blender wiki.
I was scratching my head wonderin...
This project was very very daunting and difficult. the final render of this project, I felt, was just awful and I had to tweak it alot in photoshop. his parts and rear had to be shaped by some paint as the overall render made things look flat and just not as defined as I was hoping for. the fur and muscle definition that I tried to achieve also did not look good and most of the fur on the legs had...

This was going to be a project on the side of wolverine but I think I am going to finish this up first instead. there is still a few things I want to fix in this image. sculpt a bit more muscle, give him the little tale tassel and such. the very small details I am going to finish up in photoshop
I don't have a name for this model yet.
Now! streaming now!
furring the Zoe the wolverine!
This one is not a specific arkkin. more of a concept really, I wanted a blank setting as I don't know how I want to size these creatures, I know I want them big but not sure how big. I put a lot more Photoshop work in this one than my previous projects as I had a hard time getting the textures right. Tell me what you think about this thingy!
get the High rez image on prime leap.
the whole body is covered in texture maps so she is basically ready to pose. there are just a few things that need to be tidied up and fixed before I do so however.
please let me know what you think! any questions about this weirdo looking thing? I would love to answer!
I did not plan on working on the arkkin anytime soon, but I already had it rigged. I was really just worried that textureing skin might be a little bit of a challenge, and I also was not sure if what I had in mind for the species design and skin was what I was going to stick with in the future. I figure the latest painting was enough to go off though.
let me know what you think so far!
