Lieutenant "Panzer" Burkhart and her jet-powered grind axe/exosuit set She, of course, plays like a hyperarmor bruiser with charged and multihit attacks. #GameDev #CharacterDesign #CharacterArt

A set of massive, military-grade battle armor. Dayglo orange with warning yellow.

The helmet has glowing blue 'eyes' and a central crest, and is almost completely engulfed by a large, armored collar. The torso has Rondel-style bulletproof plates in front of the large pauldrons, with an identical plate on the outer side of the elbow armor.

Large thigh armor is surrounded by a coat-of-plates-style plate carrier coat setup, and her feet have exoskeletal traction claws.

Beside her is an enormous, long-hafted buzzsaw/grinder machine that resembles a greataxe. The business end is two sets of a series of powerful grinder saws that rotate inward towards the center, dragging targets into the middle of the two to be pulverized.

On the back is an engine with two sets of three jet engines that can propel the weapon.

Another pass- he was supposed to be fantasy Monk class-coded. This one's a bit closer to that, I think. #CharacterDesign #CharacterArt

A large, burly man with messy hair wearing a light v-neck shirt, arm compression sleeves, small fingerless fitness gloves, and flip-flops under an undone set of coveralls. This is his outdoor winter outfit.

You can see him in full coveralls on the bottom left, which is what he wears indoors during winter.

The interior of the coveralls are green flannel.

Just got this error in #Godot Current project is horde-based, and I can currently run the basic AI systems for TWELVE THOUSAND enemies at once which apparently exceeds the amount of physics bodies the engine can handle by default This is without visuals and specialized enemy AI, mind you #GameDev

A Godot error that says: "Failed to create underlying Jolt Physics body for [specific entity]. Consider increasing maximum number of bodies in project settings. Maximum number of bodies is currently set to 10,240

I want to do nights like Dragon's Dogma does- sometimes vary dark, requiring a lantern, torch, or other light source to see #Godot #Gamedev #art

FINISHED Main character for a project- Adaine. An alchemical homunculus/automaton created by a tyrannical ruling body, and freed by rebel forces, who she joins up with #CharacterDesign #Fantasy #Scifi #3d #Blender3d

A feminine humanoid with pure white 'skin' and hair and black, chitinous armor decorated with golden scrollwork and detailing.

Exhaust pipes are built into her limbs, torso, and head, and a multicolored core is in her chest, with various similarly-colored veins visible on various other parts of her body

She wears a blue-green and red rebel coat/mantle with white belts and large epaulette-style pauldrons, and wields a greataxe made of the same materials as her body.

An orthographic view of the same character. You can see her black-and-gold spine, the exhaust pipes protruding from her upper back, her hair tie, and the details on the back of her coat/mantle

A view of her upper body without the coat/mantle

AAAAGH WE'RE SO CLOSE JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE I added detail maps for texture on the belt and cloth (Made the textures myself, including the leather) #CharacterDesign #Fantasy #Scifi #3d #Blender3d

A closeup of the upper side of her coat. You can see some detail on the epaulette, as well as the trim on the mantle and collar

A closeup of some of the ends' details. You can see some of the design on the back, alongside the detail texture on the cloth and the inner lining's 'scales' that I stole from Whitebeard

A good shot of the back tails of the mantle. Note the faked extra wrinkles on the cloth

Thinking about what design to put on Adaine's coat led to some worldbuilding: The symbol of the rebellion is a type of flower that's the target of a thorny, parasitic bush. The flower always eventually grows strong enough to overwhelm the parasite and thrive.

A 'real' and stylized rendition of a spiral flower growing out of a spikey bush

Good heavens. Her base model is essentially finished- that took FOREVER AAAAAGH #CharacterDesign #Fantasy #Scifi #3d #Blender3d

A female automaton with pale white skin and hair and black, segmented armor with exhaust pipes on her elbows, knees, and back

Her armor has a chitinous texture, which transitions into gleaming golden scrollwork trim in certain areas

Rigged the eyes. Would you believe I managed to get them to roll pretty easily by putting the eye bones ridiculously far off to the opposite side? In the third image, the set of bones by the left eye is the set that controls the RIGHT eye, etc #CharacterDesign #Fantasy #Scifi #3d #Blender3d

Adaine's eye bones- the leftmost bones control the right eye, and vice versa

Tried out the Marvel Rivals method for hair- what I assume it is, at least- it's pretty good! The final image has an alternate body style that was in the earlier designs- I'm still not sure which one to go for. #CharacterDesign #Fantasy #Scifi #3d #Blender3d

A shot of Adaine's head- complete with hair.

She wears black, segmented armor with gold trim and has stark-white skin and hair

Aaaalmost done modeling She ended up being about 9.5 heads tall. Tall robot lady. #CharacterDesign #Fantasy #Scifi #3d #Blender3d

A female automaton in black, segmented armor, detailed with gold accents and various vent lines revealing a colorful energy. Her face is stark white with black schlera, her irises colored with the same energy as the vents

A closeup of the face. Again, stark white skin with black lips and schlera, colorful energy irises, and golden eyelashes. Her head is flanked by the same sort of exhaust pipes that are on her limbs and back

A metallic spine is visible, alongside doll joints and artificial musculature that wraps around the exhaust pipes on her back

It's a shame I won't be buying or playing it if you follow through with using generative 'ai' trash during development. I'll definitely play it if you get rid of Vincke and never touch a single prompt, though!

Under Vincke, Larian has been pushing hard on generative AI, although the CEO says the technology hasn't led to big gains in efficiency. He says there won't be any AI-generated content in Divinity - "everything is human actors; we're writing everything ourselves" - but the creators often use AI tools to explore ideas, flesh out PowerPoint presentations, develop concept art and write placeholder text.
The use of generative Al has led to some pushback at Larian, "but I think at this point everyone at the company is more or less OK with the way we're using it," Vincke said.

Tentative final design for the Marionette Knight, now named Adaine #CharacterDesign #Fantasy #Art

Concept art of a tall automaton woman. Her limbs and upper torso are pure black segmented armor. Multicolored power crystals are on her chest, forehead, elbows, and knees, as well as along her stomach and back

Where armor normally has fan plates on the elbow and knee armor, there are exhaust pipes instead, as well as along her back.

She wears a blue shoulder cape/scarf with red lining and white belted bits

Starting a new Pathfinder campaign soon. Made a monster slayer that ended up being VERY Monster Hunter. #Tabletop #Pathfinder #Dwarf #Armor #Fantasy #CharacterArt #CharacterDesign

A dwarven man wearing a suit of heavy armor. It's made of steel and stone plate, and covered in layers of fangs, scales, and spikes from monsters.

The design is a surcoat with large thigh plates, boots that resemble elephant feet, enormous pauldrons, and a vivid blue scarf- all lined with fur

Beside him is an enormous axe made of blackened steel, with rings on the large, sword-like guard and pommel. It's hilt is wrapped in the style of a katana.

5/- There are controller widgets underneath the model that use Drivers to control the influence of an IK system on the arms When ON, the Influence of the IK modifiers on each arm bone are 100%, and are controlled by the IK handles When OFF, the influence is 0%, and you move the arm bones directly

A widget for each arm determines whether IK is on or off for that arm. These can be moved and keyframed at any point of an animation to shift from one mode to the other.

3/- On the arms' RIG bones, there are 'rotor' bones. these are used when your character has something like a glove that needs to follow the rotation of the hand or lower arm without affecting the forearm or the shoulder, respectively

As an example, the arm section is separate from the coat's sleeve, and needs to rotate independently. The Upper Arm Rotor bone allows for this.
