Gen AI? No. But I cheat in different ways. I used real photos, and filters I coded, and just brush over this as base. AI will not help me find what I'm looking for. And this is actually 3d object. Because it let me experiment with proportions easier, or bend the shapes precislly with symetry.

You take on the role of a new student conducting a private investigation within a school of magic, attempting to prove that a highly dangerous individual is hiding there.

Still looking for the way to design my own canine type of heads. In academy, there are 2 main non-human races. Bovine and caine one. Rest are rather rare. I'm defined traits the bovine design have, and still experiemnting with the dog-people.

Ok. I think I find workflow to make the indoors. It is just so much work, to make them interesting. It's looks like I can make an room in 3-4 days of work. So, I can only curse my scope-creep again...

Hmm Character is in center of the screem all the time, so it is hard to loose him. But I think I will re-do the cloths and choose diferent type of shader for the characters.

It is interesting how much time of a day changing.

Yep. Ears under the horns in the same line, and do something interesting with the forehead.

Wirbus @wirbus.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

I'm trying to do just the opposite.

Wirbus @wirbus.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

I keep working on this one. Redesigning the face. An I think I menage to put some personality in to it. As for protagonist of whole game, he's design is restrickted by his role and plot. And drawing is like an casting for the actor to play it. At last till I get better idea for this design.

Wow. You really added more hairs. Looks great.

Wirbus @wirbus.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

To make him really fit to the role in the story. Kind of like an casting/characterisation.

I also draw the fanart. Specially for @tfiddlerart.bsky.social In this dramatic state before haircut.

Right, I add stronger shadow to the muzzle, so the shape will be more clear.

010

Wirbus @wirbus.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

And the projection. Require some more work, but most of the shape is ok.

I can't believe it. The Taran himself draw me an fanart.

Wirbus @wirbus.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

Oh, my gosh. This is unbelieveable. He looks avesome. Thank you Taran. Love it. It is an secound fan art of my designs I ever got.

Another version of the Tarok, the protagonist. It is his 14'th version and I still can't capture him right. But each concept is at last a small improvment.

Wirbus @wirbus.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

I menage to get more interesting shapes, but I'm not sure if any of it will stay.

Wirbus @wirbus.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

Ok. Fashion is much more complicated then expected... And female have much more freedom then man.

Wirbus @wirbus.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

I wonder... I have models of the clothes. But I think I can re-do them again into something better. But... I have no idea about real fashion...

An text with thoughts about Fashion as part of the character design in the setting.

I was working on the map, and add time of day mechanic. To make it change mood and depth without compromise hand-draw aestuetic. Concept work, but will require much more work.

Wirbus @wirbus.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

It is an quick work. So I just projected one side and hand-paint the rest. You can see there is nothing painted behind. This is just an practice, not polished peace.

Wirbus @wirbus.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

It is really no trick at all. Just quick sketch of the model. Then projection of the texture as vertex paiting. I think, this is just default workflow in pre-maxon ZBrush.

Wirbus @wirbus.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

Yea, they have this "First put thing to my mouth, and think later" attitude.

Wirbus @wirbus.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

I's just a quick sculture sketch, it do not have topo, just triangled mess generated under moves of brush. It need to be re-topo in to something useable.

Wirbus @wirbus.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

Work in progress. Around 30-40% done. So nothing what come up any time soon.

Wirbus @wirbus.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

This is an first fanart of my things. Such impressive pic.

Wirbus @wirbus.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

Oh my. It is like first fan-art of my things ever made. He looks so great in black and white. Thank you. ❤️

Wirbus @wirbus.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

Old version of zBrush. Blender for Uv maps. Clip studio. Process is to make quick sketch, then put parts of the photos on it and streach them till they fit the concept. Then you just paint it over with watercolour bruszes and project to 3d base. In 3d you can frelly sculpt details and looks.

Wirbus @wirbus.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

Its go both ways. 3d let you easily add more details and change shapes. When 2d let you pain easier and photobash textures. So, you just go back and forth.
