Working in Clip studio again since the sketch yesterday and i'm now remembering I have 480 fonts saved in it. I can guarantee there's 80% of these I've never used. 😅

I needed to break up the insanity that rigging was causing me. lol Like, I think I have this bad habit of locking in on one thing for too long, and I need to be more varied with my approach to stuff. lol

Okay we now return to the game of "lets try and shake the rust off and keep the existential fear of forgetting how to draw at bay". I actually don't know if i'm gonna go anywhere with this but just need to start drawing SOMETHING and this was the first thing on my mind. lol

You're free to headcanon it and I will not stop you. 😆 But I'm making it a point that this freak is 100% americanized. (Or whatever vague fictional approximation of it is in her setting.)

Zeldafan is 100% to blame for this. I asked for ideas and they chimed in immediately and I decided to go with it. lol

Thank you! This Scooter underwent "Multiple" Shrinkings and "Scrunchifications" as I modeled it to the characters proportions with the intent of futureproofing it If we ever use it for anything and want to reduce collision issues. It lost a little intimidation value in the process. XD

I took way too long on this thing but I'm just glad to have it done. 😄 Whether it will see use, time will tell. 🤔

Another thing I'd suggest. Checking out the "Models resource" website and looking at models from lots of old games. You can download stuff on there and see what kind of strategies they made "assets" 😉 like that with limited resources and you can learn a lot from it.

Watchful-Wristrocket @watchflwristrocket.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

It depends on "How" low poly you're talking. 🤔 I kind of went for a middle of the road approach with the last character I made, but depending on if you want to go more "retro" you can probably rely more on painted on textures to give the illusion of depth if you want a very low poly count.

Watchful-Wristrocket @watchflwristrocket.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

I should point out that when it comes to the first part, there are already lots of tutorials on it. However, they usually tend to be made solely for animation. You actually have to do a LOT of workarounds when it comes to exporting anims/rigs for game engine use. XD

030

Watchful-Wristrocket @watchflwristrocket.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Basically, I'm actually having to grapple with learning: 1. Animation itself. You'd think it's just "ha ha, thing moves", but then things slip into IK/FK, Graph editing, and I can feel my brain turn off. 2. Having to plan and optimize around what the engine can handle, which can get finicky.

Watchful-Wristrocket @watchflwristrocket.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

I should mention that the bunny has already been rigged with a rough test rig and had many quick sloppy placeholder animations done for testing. Whilst it did what it was meant to do and gave us lots of insight, it's also highlighting how much i've still got to learn. lol

Watchful-Wristrocket @watchflwristrocket.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Continuing to realize the technical depths of rigging/animating(especially if it needs to be made usable in a game engine) is almost akin to looking into some kind of lovecraftian vault. I think I'm only now starting to grasp how much more research I'm going to need to do with this. 💀🤡😅

Not set in stone atm, I haven't taken commissions regularly in a long time, i've just been so busy with other pursuits atm. Kind of made an exception here since being Commed for my own characters is always something I can get behind. ^^ If I ever did properly open for comms i'd announce it. :D

Watchful-Wristrocket @watchflwristrocket.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

(COMMISSION) I still don't have a name for this absolute Cretin of a rabbit, and Yet I already got commisioned to draw her. How could I refuse? 😉

Watchful-Wristrocket @watchflwristrocket.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

I wanna pat myself on the back now that the modeling/texturing is pretty much done. 😄 But I am NOT looking forward to rigging/weight painting her and the sanity slippage that is going to follow that. 🤪

Sorry for posting yet ANOTHER teaser, but UVs are taking a bit longer than expected. Still, making fairly good progress on her! 😄

Watchful-Wristrocket @watchflwristrocket.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Weird idea, maybe some lower poly stuff as experimentation into what could be done with it? (not like extremely lowpoly though, i'm not saying minecraft levels XD) 🤔 Apologies of course if you've already done it before and I can't remember. :V

Watchful-Wristrocket @watchflwristrocket.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Going to be honest I've got the stupidest grin on my face working on this. Someone needs to take away my blender privileges because I'm getting too indulgent with it. lol

Watchful-Wristrocket @watchflwristrocket.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Yeah! combined a dozen different references and inspirations but JSR/Bomb rush cyberfunk were definitely some of the biggest. ^^ Consequently she ended up looking like she stepped right out of a 90s industrial Rave.. which wasn't intentional but i'm not complaining about one bit. lol

011

Watchful-Wristrocket @watchflwristrocket.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Yeah. XD Also, thank you! <3 To be fair I have cut some polys in certain areas already since taking this, but i'm trying to leave some just in case(especially on the midsection) for future... uh.. "stretchability" with shapekeys. just in case I decide to do stuff with that and experiment. lol

020

Watchful-Wristrocket @watchflwristrocket.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Trying my best to keep the poly counts for her low to keep at least some remnant of a low-poly aesthetic intact but i'm VERY quickly falling to temptation to SHAMELESSLY add more polys when it comes to "certain areas".

Two notes: 1. The jacket is optional. 2. I'm throwing you guys a bone. She has a voracious appetite. Make of this what you will, but this rabbit is not interested in nibbling on carrots.

Watchful-Wristrocket @watchflwristrocket.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Next character I wanna model in blender is a little more elaborate. XD Honestly I'm at the point where I'm a little stunlocked on how I wanna do her color scheme aside from a vague direction, and I think i'm just gonna go ahead and start modeling her while I decide on it.

Oh! I should mention I did get him fully rigged and figure out(Haphazardly) how to get around hip/butt deformations. Weirdly enough aside from some topography changes, adding additional Def bones to the butt to redistribute the weight did a LOT.

082

Watchful-Wristrocket @watchflwristrocket.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

There is some kind of Holy Grail combo of weight painting, bone placement, and topology that can prevent a character's butt from shrinking into non-existence with extreme leg movements and I just haven't found it yet! And if I can't do that? I'm gonna jury-rig an amatuerish fix for it.🤪

090

Watchful-Wristrocket @watchflwristrocket.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Okay, through sheer brute force and countless hours put in, I can say animating isn't too bad getting the hang of. and i've managed to get the hang of rigging limb joints through sheer brute force. But Dear god I did not expect the hips/pelvis to be so aggravating, caffiene alone can't fix this. 💀

Big Boobs Day? Really? We're really running out of ideas with all these days they're making up. Fine, i'll play ball and hastily show an extremely rough wip of something to stay relevent. 🐰 (ignore the fact that I did this last night and had no idea this "holiday" was a thing.)

👀 I should've seen this coming and yet it didn't even pass my mind that you were gonna go this route. Damn you somehow made this sequence even more amazing. This is fantastic stuff!

Watchful-Wristrocket @watchflwristrocket.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Ah. I'm mainly posting this in context of using blender so it's probably completely different in that case?

Watchful-Wristrocket @watchflwristrocket.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

From what i've messed with and done in various tutorials so far I've had better luck with the timeline. 🤔 The MOMENT things veer into using the graph editor, my mind just goes into panic mode as I try to figure out all the different variables/hotkeys and struggle to recreate any layout they have.

Using Jet Set Radio 1's model style as a vague jumping off point to practice some modeling. 😄 Learning Blender was not on my bingo sheet for this year. I'll see you all in five years once I manage to make it through the psychic damage of figuring out how to rig/animate. lol

Getting comfortable with modelling/texturing in blender and thinking "this isn't that bad" only to then realize the real part that's going to drive me insane trying to learn is rigging/animation. Not since Darkest Dungeon have I been reminded that "Overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer"

Denial!? It's not denial! there's nothing to deny! 😏 There's a valid explanation for sure! (Also once again, thank you so much for this. It's fantastic. <3 )
