This is adorable! I love this style so much!

Adorable! I love how goopy the hair wax looks!

I like how the highlights are almost like a skeleton, intended effect or not, it's super cool

This looks great! I love how the suspension springs look too

@kokopimento.bsky.social Happy Birthday!! I typically don't watch Vtubers, let alone Twitch streams in general, but somehow your vibe just works, and I felt like drawing this for you!

I love rhythm games so much. Hit buttons to songs I enjoy, and unlock silly cosmetics? Yes, please! Gimme that dopamine! Miku and Rin giving me a 👌 when I pass a song does wonders for my morale

Working on a Twilight Princess Linkle mod! I'm gonna make more improvements to the model, but I'm just happy to have gotten it working in game!

This is an edited version of Link's body, so the skeleton and collision should be exactly the same as it was. All of the animations are working fine, at least

David Lewis @kingofdranovis.bsky.social · 08/05/2025
Got the body sorted out, and the face is now in progress, though it's a bit trickier because of all the weird rotations I have to deal with

David Lewis @kingofdranovis.bsky.social · 08/05/2025
Now to make the vertices not scrambled And, you know, the rest of it lol

David Lewis @kingofdranovis.bsky.social · 08/05/2025
Even though this *looks* farther from the ideal, I'm actually even closer than before because I've been able to find and join a Discord where people have accomplished similar things! There's... a lot to fix, but I'm working through it, and glad to have the morale boost lol

David Lewis @kingofdranovis.bsky.social · 08/05/2025
I'm reaching out to a couple of other modders who've been able to accomplish model swaps, so hopefully, that leads somewhere. TPHD, as far as I can tell without actually opening up the files, uses the same file structure and types as TPSD. I could be wrong, and it could be easier, but we'll see!
011
David Lewis @kingofdranovis.bsky.social · 08/05/2025
So I was able to get it into the presumably correct file format, but so far everything I've tried either doesn't work, or crashes Dolphin. I'm kind of running out of clear options, which doesn't feel great. There's still *some* stuff to try, but it's quite tricky.

David Lewis @kingofdranovis.bsky.social · 07/05/2025
I actually have zero idea, I'm decent at modeling, but I've never attempted to swap in a model before. I imagine there's some documentation somewhere that'll help at least

David Lewis @kingofdranovis.bsky.social · 07/05/2025
Haven't had time to make any custom textures yet, so everything is borrowed from Link or Ilia, but I've got a good amount of the Ordon outfit figured out. I'll also do custom hair later. It's certainly very interesting seeing how different the official Nintendo models are from what I normally make.

Also, are you more interested in the original or the HD version of Twilight Princess?

David Lewis @kingofdranovis.bsky.social · 06/05/2025
Ooh super tempting I'll check out the TP Link model and see how easy to edit it'll be

David Lewis @kingofdranovis.bsky.social · 13/12/2024
I am having so much fun with this! The expressions, the pose, all of it just has so much more personality than I've ever been able to put into a character before! It's awesome! #oc #animation #blender

David Lewis @kingofdranovis.bsky.social · 11/12/2024
Expressive expressions on the way! I haven't messed with shape keys much, but I already like using them for the facial expressions way more than bones and weights because it's way less tedious. I'm excited to mess around with it some more!

David Lewis @kingofdranovis.bsky.social · 06/12/2024
Looks great! Super bouncy and fun!

David Lewis @kingofdranovis.bsky.social · 05/12/2024
Also, gonna have to keep singing the praises of the PolyQuilt addon, it was so nice and easy to use for retopology
000
David Lewis @kingofdranovis.bsky.social · 05/12/2024
Gotta say, I like this style for Piper a lot more than the more realistic proportions It just feels more fun and expressive even with just a blank expression, so I'm excited to try messing around with shape keys (or whatever they're called in Maya) for hopefully more dynamic expressions

David Lewis @kingofdranovis.bsky.social · 04/12/2024
I found this Blender extension called PolyQuilt today, and it is so so so useful It's basically the Quad Draw tool from Maya but it's better for me because I don't have to worry about switching to a different program with a high poly model, now I can just do it all in Blender and all for free

Started reading your comic, having a great time! The art is wonderful and it's quite funny. Out of curiosity, how often do people remind you that you wrote a story about a young woman attempting to steal a spaceship by driving it with her butt?

David Lewis @kingofdranovis.bsky.social · 28/11/2024
Decided to update Blender to 4.3 and try out the new sculpt mode stuff I think this is one of my best faces, so I'm pretty happy with that Does make me want to make more, but I've already got so many things to juggle so I really shouldn't try to add more to it
010
David Lewis @kingofdranovis.bsky.social · 27/11/2024
That's super fun! I've got mine set to cycle through stuff I made and am proud of, so it's also just a little boost of "you made this cool thing!" which really helps some times

David Lewis @kingofdranovis.bsky.social · 26/11/2024
I would say there's no wrong way to enjoy creating Even if the execution is wrong, as long as you're enjoying the process, that's what matters and what shines through

David Lewis @kingofdranovis.bsky.social · 26/11/2024
Got the weight painting done It fought me tooth and nail the whole time I was doing the jacket but I got it It is by far my least favorite part of this but at least rigging is easy enough
010
David Lewis @kingofdranovis.bsky.social · 25/11/2024
Here I was thinking I'd be able to get this model's weight painting done in a timely manner It's messed up so many times when I try to mirror the weights and I'm so done with this Weight painting has to be my least favorite part of the process
010
David Lewis @kingofdranovis.bsky.social · 25/11/2024
Which one have you been using?

David Lewis @kingofdranovis.bsky.social · 25/11/2024
Looks awesome! Effects are looking spicy!

David Lewis @kingofdranovis.bsky.social · 24/11/2024
Wouldn't have made sense because of Virtual Console games They needed to keep the layout the same as the SNES so players could play SNES games on the Wii U correctly
000
David Lewis @kingofdranovis.bsky.social · 24/11/2024
Nintendo had their layout starting from the SNES, so if anything, everyone else switched it up

That's awesome! I wish I had the space for this sort of thing, let alone the budget. Being able to invite friends over to play sounds like so much fun
010
David Lewis @kingofdranovis.bsky.social · 24/11/2024
It looks great! Plus, it's likely a much more consistent animation than if you tried to free hand it, so I'd count that as a big win!

I was seeing a decent amount of chatter about Arcane season 2, so I figured I'd finally start watching it Holy crap this show is amazing and super well made I should've started watching it sooner

David Lewis @kingofdranovis.bsky.social · 23/11/2024
Looks really clean, even if it is slow! I don't even know how to start modeling in Maya, I only really know animation, so you're sure faster than me 😆
000
David Lewis @kingofdranovis.bsky.social · 23/11/2024
Personally I'm having a great time learning animation but I want to get into the community more Being able to talk and even possibly work with some of these creators sounds awesome
000
David Lewis @kingofdranovis.bsky.social · 22/11/2024
I love how Maya makes the skeleton multicolor when you bind the model to it Silver lining to the pain that is weight painting XD

David Lewis @kingofdranovis.bsky.social · 21/11/2024
Boom, finished model! Now to rig it and animate it! #animation #maya #3d #oc

David Lewis @kingofdranovis.bsky.social · 21/11/2024
Just about done with this character model, still need to add some textures and combine some pieces, but I'm quite happy with how well and fast it's been going! He's made to be quite different to Piper, earth tones to her primary colors, and more laid back to her exaggerated expressions.
3d model of a male character, modeled in Blender, to be rigged and animated in Autodesk Maya.

When was someone going to tell me Blender has a view mode for retopology?? This is so much nicer than making everything transparent
020
David Lewis @kingofdranovis.bsky.social · 19/11/2024
I realized that only having one character to animate would get boring after a bit, so I'm working on a second one so they can interact and stuff It's so much faster this time cause I know what I'm doing #animation #oc #art

There's a Vtuber called Ronillust, their model is probably the closest I've seen to that, though it's still just one person. Their model has a girl holding a ghost, and they can move independently of the other. The ghost is tracking the face and eyes, and the girl reacts to mouse movements.

David Lewis @kingofdranovis.bsky.social · 18/11/2024
I disagree. Multiple puppets can be controlled by one person, while Vtubers have to be 1:1 person to avatar. Vtubers are digital Muppets.
