Think i'm gonna get back into drawin for a bit, makes it easier to put ideas into blender

011

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Can now focus but ya see i'm not doing stuff because i doubt myself alot so i'm going to be more confident in the future, after all tweaking is easier then making (unless it's particularly horrid) In the mean time here's my attempt at a Cat Skull, they are missing a few teeth but close enough

My bus was 40 mins late and i have a migraine+cold combo bleeeeegh, found a place where i can maybe yap abt 3d modelin to others and may start learning godot

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

So these are all 4/5 of the low-poly (4.7k tris between the 4 of em) models i have made for the fan art so far. I used different ways of texturing for all of em so i hope atleast one looks good! #art (yeah i'm proud enough to lob it into the slightly wider world)

So Burnout is done (may add smthin later tho), i'm happy how he turned out but he was pain in the ass to unwrap i can't lie

031

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

So after giving it a think, i think ik the issue and it's that I open blender get overwhelmed by everything i could do and the don't do nout so i'm try smthin new, lets hope it goes well. ( Basically making checklists and trying to stick to one or two things)

000

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Burnout, like Cathy was, is currently being a victim of "You've spent so long on a project and improved that what you made at the start looks worse by comparison" so i will be redoing the head before texturing em

Smol Doodle of Grief just cuz

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Still feel a bit down and still don't really have anyone or anywhere to talk abt my art, which is a shame, hopefully there's some form of resolution. It think i'll go back to making my own characters after the lil fanart that i'm doin.

110

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Decided to tweak it a lil bit, such as making the cloak more detailed and movin the pins around

031

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Thype is now textured and rigged, kind of did somethin a lil different then the original design buut i'm real glad how it came out

021

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Did some progress on Pearl and Smokestacks, which is nifty, did quite a bit today so i'm quite happy, hopefully i may be able to get back into a rhythm. Fanart is goin well. Hopefully the shading looks good, been experimenting with it.

041

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

College has been a hassle, so i haven't done much this week yet dw i will at some point but yeah i now have a bit less free time, especially due to the 1hr 30 bus ride i gotta do to get there and back.. blegh

000

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Ok i think i need a full on don't do any blender for atleast a week kinda break because like i may be getting better sure but ik that my ass is not as passionate or energised to do blender as it was a few months back. bleegh, I shall see ya soon, here's where fanart is see ya soon

000

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

My break will be ending soon which is sad but i'm comin of my break and tryna do thing and tryin stuff out so i can focus. So far it's been goin alright which is nice. Making some fan art so that's cool. (Rn it's on the modelin stage 3/5 are done and the 4th is mid bein made.

010

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

*slight repost just because i forgot to adjust the hat when duping t' model so it got wedged in the coat, mb

000

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Today's progress, atleast the thing is fully rigged now

010

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

They are nearly rigged and are uv wrapped again, i'm startin to get kinda burnt out because it is getting mildly tedious to put it lightly. May have a small break from modelin after this un's finished

010

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

(Due to me needin alpha for the leaf, his hands are gone for now) Texturin so far, not fully done with the wrappings but i think i will model some lose wrappings aswell as a coat for variety and cuz it looks cool

021

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

Oki so i now need to sort out the uv maps but i improved some of the topology aswell as placed all the seams, so now i just need to sort out the maps and paint em. I've taken a handful of days off so pretty happy that they are this far in just 2 weeks. Around 20-30 hours put in!

010

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

They are rigged, it took basically all the time i had set aside for blender cuz the hips are so annoying I had to concede doing it all myself and looked at some references because it was like playing a game of 1 step forward 2 steps back, but you have no idea what forward or back is

010

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

Okay maybe i'm better at modelin' then i thought, cuz i manged to just do the gills and the hook pretty easily so that's neat. The model is prob done now, bar a few tweaks so...I probably will rig this and then texture it, Luckily i can look at Cathy's model for how i did the weights.

020

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

Been workin' on smthin' over the past 3 days, been workin' a lil slow recently but ehh. What actually took the longest was the satchel strap.... i spent their adjusting it over the span of 3 hours, until i realised that's kinda ridiculous it looks good enough, move on.

010

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

Welp i suppose that's that, she may need a few uv touch ups some eye expressions, but for the most part. I can say that Cathy is finally done!

120

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

Ok took a break for today and maybe tmmrw, crown is done!, but uh despite owning an entire *pair* i have no idea where to start texturing hands so uh, hope it's one of those things which you learn once and it sticks

000

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

Done a bit more but uh still iffy on the hand shape so after the crown is done going to maybe tweak the model and then texture em,idk i keep getting this thing where the fingers are perfect but the thumb is just off looking

120

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

Bit more progress, this time cuz i'm kinda stumped on what to do and if i have an idea of what to do, it's how i do it, so the hands and the "crown" aswell as prob the eye may all take a bit longer

110

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

She is being textured but uh, i gotta fix my sleep schedule because my body clock has aligned itself to sleep at 4am. which is not good. Having slight issues with focusing as per usual but hey it's going at a pace so...it's goin good.

Cathy, she has a Mask for a head, with left "eye" being a % sign and her right being an eye hole, since the eye isn't made what is being seen as "the eye" is the back of her mask. She is wearing a dress, along side a necklace

020

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

she is uv unwrapped and i've learnt kinda how to do fk, i've realised that i do much less when i think it may come out poor so i'm tryna be less conscious about it, just do it then if it looks bad, fix it, because doing it and then fixing it is faster then worrying about it.

010

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 04/07/2026

Okay sweet hands are rigged, n all, just tryna get back in the swing of things, so that leaves maybe adding extra bones for the tail, adding controls, UV, texture... face riggg and boom i'll actually be done.... sweet never thought i'd see the day with all my lollygagging

010

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

Still quite a few things ike uv, making a proper base, hand rigging, fine tuning rig on the tail etc etc etc. but the main thing is she has a tail now.(The idea was that it'd wrap round the base, whether that's possible with the polycount idk, if not maybe then she'll move with the tail ig.)

110

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

Did a bunch of a progress only to have one error carried over which couldn't be undone which means i couldn't go back and now i'm strugglin to go back their so tommorows gonna be a long day.

110

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

The arms and torso are done(?) weight painting wise, i don't have much experience, i'm hoping any errors will appear when i try to pose her properly and i can just fix em their. But now i have to rig a dress with minimal experience so, this may take a while, i'm hoping i can mirror the paints 4 way

100

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

Okay weight painting is wayy harder then i thought, the chest is okay?, the arms are a bit janky and need tweaking, the base and the head are fine but the dress and hands i haven't started on are going to be a nightmare. The silver lining is it won't always be this hard.

010

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 21/06/2026

Currently trying to rig her learnin more weight paints n stuff, i'm not dead, i've just been resting for the past few days. expect stuff soon but like also not very soon-ish

000

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

and with that. I now have 11 weeks off. Welp time to do stuff and hava' rest Hopefully A lvl Biology n stuff is fun when it comes around

000

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

Finally had time to change some stuff and add more, like faux fur and hands. Part of me just wishes to say that it's done appreciate the progress and move on and model another character, but i'll try to atleast texture it.

110

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

So been looking at topology, i think i've got a solution to both the arms and the breasts however it does look a bit difficult but i'll try it. So uh yeah expect that in a few weeks, doubt days cuz boy will i be occupied these next 2 weeks

010

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

okay it has just turned to 01/6/26 over ere' in Britain so happy pride month!

010

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 30/05/2026

This is where Cassy is, the dress i'm super happy with, the base is a bit of a placeholder but it works, the main thing is the torso, which i like the shape but idk the arms seem ok but idk if the shading is supposed to do that and the breasts but i'm new to them so they prob will get changed alot

221

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

So been testing rigging out and have come the the conclusion that i want my limbs "detached" from the body because A. I don't think i can do proper deformation with my wanted polycount. B. I'm not a Wizard C. I feel like I can use it to make characters more expressive.

010

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

After looking at some old forums on 3d modeling and revamping torso modeling and "speedrunning" the creation of one. I can now say that in my eyes atleast, i am now semi compitent and making basic torsos. Tommorow I will prob do the face and the arms and then we should be good for real this time

010

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

Since i'm off i have time for more modeling but also i just wanna say something real quick: Escalators suck. Maybe i'm just weak and that feeling sick and scared of even being near them isn't normal but like. I don't want my stairs to m o v e. I want to move. Lifts are alright, but escalators nah.

000

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

Okay so so far the progress is going alright, still unsure about the arms but so far he over all torso feels alot better then it was!

010

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 16/05/2026

Okay so i found out ways to improve my model and ik what i've done wrong buuut that means this'll be now the 3rd time i will remodel her and i really hope i don't have to do a 4th because i am very quickly getting tired and burntout of doing stuff again and again due to mistakes i didn't know.

100

Hermsrer @hermsrer.bsky.social · 14/05/2026

Added stuff just got the hands left but i am really tired and have a 2hr exam in the mornin so i'm gonna bed early gn
