Repost of Beebul the Tortle Ranger. My first attempt at a character for print in Nomad Sculpt (cleanup & prep in ZBrush). Based on a friends excellent D&D character illustration. The final print lives at their house. She was great fun to sculpt, and very satisfying to work on an iPad.
3D render of an old D&D Tortle . She has a bow on her back and a quiver of arrows. She’s holding up a sweet in one hand and a handbag in another. The same character but printed in grey resin at two different sizes.Two photographs of the printed models, one showing the way it fits on the base and one showing the models wearing their hats.Another photo showing the characters in hats but closer and at a different angle.

I used to think MSG talk was racist until I started cooking with it my self and got the EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS they talk about if I put slightly too much in. Only lasts a few hours tho and it’s delicious, so I’m just more careful now 😂 But yeah, it’s not complete lies, but sensationalised for sure.

Hey, character artist here! I just finished fan art of Kaneda recently. Been increasingly interested in VR, so made it for vrchat!

OMG I uploaded this Kaneda VRChat avatar yesterday and I didn't know it was his birthday that EXACT day!! It's gotta mean something?! Right?? 🔮 It's public, grab it in this world. Works on pc/quest: vrchat.com/home/launch?...

Oh really??? I have seen ps1 looking art from artists, but not seen a lot of [finished] games like that yet. Got any recs? One I AM aware of is Pseudoregalia, which also has the COOLEST ps1 style sfx as well!

Seeing that headline makes me more excited to play, you’d think it’s obvious but no mans sky planets were never sparse and empty when I played it. It was a great game but it never felt like exploring ‘space’

I really hope ps1 styles make a come back like pixel art did. Imagine ps1 models but contemporary post processing 🤤

My dreams are usually murky if at all, but there’s been a few times in my life they’ve been as vivid as real life, so maybe my analytical brain is also jealous🤔😂

Lmao I wonder tho. For me, it feels like a part of brain might be seeing the stuff. It just doesn’t get passed to ‘me’ personally 🤔

omg no video on bsky? not even gifs?? 😱 well, I made Kaneda dance with anime girls on VRChat. You can see it on my twitter if you dare to go back. OR you can pick up the avatar yourself from my Avatar World and go dance around yourself! vrchat.com/home/launch?...

It’s so inspiring seeing the amount of amazing artists in the thread who also have aphantasia!!!!! It’s always weird trying to explain to people what it feels like to think artistically in ‘concepts’. I kinda don’t even know what I mean myself lol 🤔

Yeah interactive stories with friends is a different mood. It shifts from trying to 100% and achieving perfection, to choosing the most entertaining options no matter how detrimental they are lol

That sounds so healthy. I wish I can do the same in Baldurs Gate 3. Like I have a strong feeling I should be playing it more roleplayingly, like I’m sure my characters aren’t thinking they need to 100% chapter 1 before going on the mountain pass, but I sure am!

I made Kaneda (from Akira) for my VRChat avatar! artstation.com/artwork/6NzyPw 15k Tris, PC & Quest compatible! I'll make the avatar public at some point too! Had a lot of fun doing this one. Really wanna do a higher fidelity cel-shade character! #VRChat

I know what you mean, but I reclassed my main characters into classes that I felt suited their personality/story Shadow > ‘dark’ paladin Astarion > warlock Laezel > monk (unsure about this one, but I think it suits visually lol) And, I’m having way more fun now!

Doing an ecorche was like a personal renaissance for me. Making the skeleton, then muscles, then fat, then skin helped with more than just figure sculpture, it helped me hone my way of observing and analysing anything. And gave us the qualia of what *really* understanding something actually takes

Any “VR is dead” people out there. You need to meet the group of students I know who LOVE VR, want to create worlds and don’t care if it’s profitable. That’s how I know the future is bright. They are unbounded by ROI.

I feel this so much too, it properly sucked to not be able to do it in the last customiser I worked on as well. We were so close.. the tech was there, but budget and scope was not 😭

I was going to say maybe because the blocky graphics and text instead of voice acting allowed more room for the imagination, but then I remembered playing Gran Turismo 2 as a child and thinking it literally looked REAL🤔
