I wanted Shiya to have a more toned and fit lower body, hopefully conveying that fact that she have a very good footwork and is a good acrobatic dancer.

Anyways, I think I can tweak from my currently existing model. I adjusted the proportion and height to look more mature, some face topology, and they adding in acutal toes cuz why not

After some thoughts, I do think that a lot of the research I've done about proportions and designs does have it's influence. I know what kind of balance am I going for, and I know what makes the base mesh so unique to work off of. Still... I remembered that this is kinda my bad habit.

(WIP) Anyways, I about finished up on my block out and safe to say it's looking... OK. But as I was wondering where to go next, I suddenly just decided to simply after the shape of the current existing model. And uh... there it is!??

(WIP) I've spent some time studying the unique Splatoon proportion as well as the typical one, get completely confused, and then I decided that I will just make a standard, 5-head body proportion, and then compare that with the original body model, see where I can work from there. And there's a head

Ok. I've done some research regarding chracter proportions, and I think I will change my approach a little bit. Since Splatoon's character proportion are unique, I will try to assemble the entire body mesh and adjust them as I go, since technically, each body parts can be proportionally relevant.

台灣人在網路上討論的樣子：「說自己的立場」「被帶刺的方式回覆」「用更激進的方式捍衛立場」「重複以上動作」（話題完全偏掉了）所以到底為什麼，我看好多台灣人，在網路上討論時都一定會有人身攻擊的部分，然後就吵起來了

Online Taiwanese conversation stereotype: - Makes a statement - makes another statement but aggressive - fights back using a more aggressive language - The whole convo veered off course - rinse & repeat

One thing that I think I don't ever mentioned much Is that before animation I loved performative art There is a certain elegance and charm to body language that fascinates me. Which is why I associate Shiya with graceful body language, charming, unbound, and immersed in her little mind space.

Was working on a new outfit, but I got sidetracked by this gorgeous bodysuit.

More doodle I’m a lot faster on the process by now, improving in a way that I hesitate less, and feel more comfortable utilizing the knowledge I learned before.

(WIP) More head practice, this time instead of randomly adjusting proportions I just try to follow the reference image and replicate it. It turned out a lot better!!! The topology looks nice too but I'm worried that it's not ideal bc I didn't really have a "through" understanding to the flow.

100

I think I'll turn making a new outfit & making a new character model 2 different projects. New character will prob take a while until I can figure it out, as much as I wanted to present them all as a complete overhaul, it may not be too feasible considering they have a different difficulty.

Sstorm @2torm0976.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

One thing came up to my mind... What if I just modify the current Splatoon head model to "roughly" represent how I wanted the new shape to look like, and then I refine the quirks by modeling a new one? Yeah yeah... maybe that would work.

130

Sstorm @2torm0976.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

(WIP) I couldn't exactly how can I get my hands on the perfect reference I could've asked for, since without commissoning someone I prob just ends up using whatever I can find on the internet. So anyways I decided I will try whatever and uh... I think it helps me figure out my problem more?

110

OK, this time I tried analyzing the whole flow of the mesh. While I can start to see how everything come together, one question struck me: "If I want to make an animation ready topology, what are the bare minimum of face loops?" This one I'm working here is extremely low poly in comparsion.

030

My urge tells me I really wanted to include friends I'm actively talking & playing with into this journey I'm taking. I wanted them to see the effort I'm taking and... feel happy for me(?) But I'm scared at the thought of it, which honestly, is one really why I "retreat" to bsky.

140

As I was practicing modeling head I was also learning the correct proportions for facial features. I thought understanding them fundmentally will help improve when I'm trying to draw a whole face, simple or complex. And then there's more doodle of... whatever these are.

131

Ok, so I decided that I will overhaul the ENTIRE character. Starting from the head, now I'm actually not too worried about adjusting body proportions, but heads are a... differerent story. I don't actually know how to make heads from scratch.

Ok ok, let's not get ahead of ourselves here. I'm thinking like: What if we just overhauled the model and design of Shiya, again!? With a much more fleshed out character design, better model suited for animation!(maybe) Ah that would be wonderous!!! I always wanted to do this.

OK. SO, there is a LOT of possiblities just popped up in my head. Oh my god.

020

(WIP) Doing some work on the outfit I just came up with I did the bodysuit part and somewhat modeled the skirt... to have a rough idea of how it might look.

151

Some notes: - I still have too much emphasis on my grip strength, simillar to when I'm writing, it often make me feel exhausted and I can't control my line well. - I have so much trouble simplifing faces - I tend to draw very small and I can't ease out my stroke

110

I… think I might try to post more doodles? I tried advices and draw, and I think it’s… alright

Just saw a male classmate with a rather unique outfit. Holy smokes, I kinda dig his style. I definitely recognize his style somewhere.

I want to be able to draw so badly

It's been over 2 months since I sent my 3DS to repair. Somehow it took so so long, and despite constant contact I just can't seem to get a confident answer from the repair shop of when the repair can be completed. I really don't want to bother cancelling the repair and find a new shop for the job

I PASSED MY DRIVING TEST THIS TIME LETS GOO

(old art) This is my very first animated short, and one specific frame I loved. It is short, on point, and sweet. It’s so reassuring, seems them just enjoying time with each other.

Whitewashing art has been such an heated debate over the years that people develop a lot of hate towards it. My friends always thought it was ridiculous to accuse someone because he/she made a character's skin tone lighter than what it's supposed to be.

I wish I can talk/express my creative journey in a more open manner. What does that mean? For starters none of the friends I actively talk to makes me feel open to engage in relevant conversation. I tried a long time ago, and I feel like it didn't went well for me.

(Old art) This one is special. I was inspired by one of the attractions in Singapore during my educational trip. The very first thing I thought of when I saw this photo spot is that I picture my OC in it.

Hi, I made little Salmon Run pins out of resin. I only have a few now, but if they're popular I'll make more and maybe larger versions in the future. There is a 5% discount for each egg added to cart, in case you want a whole collection of them :) #splatoon #splatoonart #salmonrun

(Old art) This piece is quite special for me. With Shiya holding Arashi's Splatana. I used many different style & effects I never tried out before, my first time trying a stylized material.

I don't have to be afraid of messing up. Sometimes it's ok even if I messed up and things moves on. If I practiced for the case scenario I'm about to face, I can acknowledge my effort and that I am prepared for what to come, so I don't have to panic.
