Didn’t take too long to get my hand in, so once I figured out what I was doing it happened reasonably quick (but not as quick as I would have liked partly because it’s been a week and mostly because I have unrealistic and generally unachievable expectations of myself).

Decided to do the tail feathers by colour instead of individually and the barby bits are kind of painstaking because the brush is tinier than 3dC wants to deal with, but we’re glacially getting there.

If I’m really lucky, I’m hoping to have this knocked off over the weekend. Realistically, it will probably be over the next week, as there’s stuff happening on the weekend. Then I’m onto the normals and once they’re done it’s back into Blender to see how things go.

And because it’s a new version and they’ve changed pretty much everything, I’ll be slowed down a bit working out where everything went. It will be totally worth it if the viewport on its own is better, and the eevee thing and whatever other improvements will be icing (which would make the whole thing one bloody big cake, hope it’s chocolate, I like chocolate cake!).

I need more sleep.
