Struggling Artist - Tumblr Posts
And another character because I am running away from the stress of 3D topology :)
This is Iyonna, she's 16 and another mutant experiment.
Spent all day failing at adding her BONES, but that's a part of learning, I guess :')
I've been following Bran Sculpts tutorial and it's been great, besides my brain melting.
Did an Art Trade with @lye-pi and their character Lye ♡
Running away from my responsibilities again, drawing my beloved squid baby, Allód
Struggled for 5 days :') I never want to do this again, but Satan knows I will because I will never be beat.
Seriously, though, the rig was the absolute worst experience and the only reason I didn't quit is because I really want to make my own models for reference
I like squids the normal amount....
They consume my life, and when I'm sad I open my file folder of pictures I'm collecting to make myself feel better.
Attempted a chibification.
Just some light reading with my little guy
Definitely not avoiding names because they 100% have them.... Just don't ask.
I never want to do perspective work again, I hate this :)
It's coming along great, but it's taking me hours just to figure out on thing because my brain hole doesn't work
I made a chibi version of my character to test out Inochi2d since LIve2d is being buggy about payment.
I have a regular model, but he's 900 layers deep, and I don't want to learn a program still in it's beta form with his enormous ass xD
This one is 181 layers.
I need to start remembering to record my screen so I can do speed paints like I want to, but I always remember too late
Making a 3D model for angle references~
I love that I finally learned how to do this, it's great.
The colour values clash a little, but I'm really happy with the progress so far.
The curly ram horns kicked my ass all day, but I made good progress with the hair for the day.
shhh, he's bald on top like a disgruntled old man, but I'm tired and my eyes burn from glaring at my screen all day. This is fully unnecessary, I just need perspective held with eyes and his horns, but I want to be extra
Okay, but he's so cute
To think I've been struggling for years to learn 3D and now I can do this
I think this is the best I can do for now. This took way too much effort and it's 100% a skill issue
The inspiration, as well. I tried the Minecraft "hack" because my room composition skills are absolutely terrible. Everything about backgrounds I am bad at. But I guess that's why I'm even suffering through all this.
All that's left now is animating the sky
Animation time!
Definitely didn't take hours to set up because Synfig kept freaking out and error-ing random images and I had to restart because it wanted to pretend the images didn't exist in the folder they most definitely were in specifically for this project :)
I've decided an Idle loop for the sky and clouds, and I'll Inochi2d animate my boys.
Some crashing issues and a lot of back and forth to find timing and number of frames I should make it so it loops like I want. Apparently that means 10,000 frames minimum
I am struggling with how I want the "twinkle" stars to go, I'll probably restart that again, but that's all part of the process, I guess.
Honestly thought I'd be further along with my animation than I am, but there's a lot of me making beginner mistakes and having to fully restart 4 times minimum each new set of problems 🥴
Anyway, I'm a plant dad to like... 50 plants, say hello to my newest babies
I haven't done drawing art in what feels like ages..
