Working on a new piece. Just finished my first pass on the head and I'm so happy. It's been great practice pushing emotions.

Here's a character I started blocking out as a present. Totally wasn't just an excuse to rig a boolean mouth for the first time

I want to get in the habit of posting my in-progress works. So here is a piece I've been working on. I'm in the process of rigging her face, after that I'm planning to do a second pass on her hair, and touch up the proportions a bit

Working on a blue-lipped sea krait When do you call it quits on weight painting. There's always something that can be fixed more 😭 #bnpr #b3d #blender

After 8 months I've returned from the mines of Coloso. Now to get back to the usual texture painting and rigging.

Busy studying P2Design's alive animation course and practicing anime eye modeling. Much learning, much suffering 🫠

I've begun prepping my latest piece for cel-shading! It's fully rigged, so once I paint the lines on the body I'll consider it done (unless I get distracted animating frow lines). Hopefully I can make it my first upload to artstation!! I'm so excited

Confusingly getting my textured organized was actually super easy. I guess that's the one free give me I'll get this year.

Gloomy Glitch @gloomyglitxh.bsky.social · 02/01/2025

I can't wait to import this character to Unity. ...After I detangle the mess that is my material and texture organization. How bad can fixing my UVs be? 🪦

Today I tried talking to a discord spam bot about retopology. They rescinded their friend request.

Sculpting hair is so zen, is it anyone else's favorite part? I promise I'll paint the part in later. 🐇

The thumb's wrong. Who do thumbs exist. I hate them.

I'm a lot happier with my facial topology this time. I think the normal shadows should be pretty good. I've been studying the topology of Cheme Leon on Artstation. Might be worth adjusting the ovals I have for the rembrandt triangles a bit more though. The lip density is also definitely too dense

Gloomy Glitch @gloomyglitxh.bsky.social · 12/12/2024

Well. I've done literally everything I can without sculpting the hands and retopology. My procrastination has failed me, and it is now time for suffering I'm certainly going to regret having not sculpted the wrists earlier 🫡

Gloomy Glitch @gloomyglitxh.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

me: "Okay, my goal for the weekend is to draw boxes in perspective" *30 minutes later "Let's actually start a new sculpt first" *A day later "Well that went alright, now I need to retopo this new sculpt" *A second new sculpt was started instead Procrastinationnnnnnn

The age-old dilemma I never learned to draw, so I really need to practice perspective this month. OR I can just play with Grease Pencil..... I know there's a middle ground but at least for today, I want to pretend.

Does anyone know artists I can follow that make robots and mecha? I just love robots so much 😭

When your own weaknesses in make-up are evident in the characters you sculpt. Straying lipstick? Check five o'clock shadow due to poor foundation blending? Check Woogly eyeshadow? Oh certainly a check #b3d

On a separate note, I'd LOVE recommendations for books on clothing design so I can study clothes better, especially anything with corsets.
