3d pikachu wip

3d pikachu

Testing out 3dCoat's sculpting tools as well.  Roughed out shape with voxels then switched to live clay for detailing.  Painted and autopo'd and automapped (I swear that thing is going to make me so slack - the manual retopo tools are also pretty awesome) and exported but haven't fired it up in Blender yet.

Colour mapped bulbasaur

3d bulbasaur

Testing out 3d Coat (which I ended up buying after all of one day).  I'm going to have to improve my texturing skills now that I have a kickass texture painter.

Bulbasaur digital sculpt

3d bulbasaur sculpt done in Blender

After a nice evening out with friends I fnished 2015 and started 2016 working on art.  Everything is being progressed and this makes me happy.

Finished a dynatopo sculpt of pixietrix's Bulbasaur.  Probably would have taken somewhere between 2 and 4 hours to do if I hadn't stuffed up the back legs, reverted and ended up a lot further back than expected (because apparently I hadn't saved where I thought I had).

Happy new year ^_^

Pokemon: vaguely realistic mega-pidgeot (and passenger)

Not quite down to the wire but close enough and done enough as far as I'm concerned.  One vaguely realistic mega-pidgeot and rider/passenger for The Great Pokemon Sky Race collab.  Learned a bit about feathers and feathering (one of the things being I need to learn more) and decided against adding fwoosh as I could not work out how to make speed lines look convincing with this style and I didn't have time to do the motion blue I was thinking of doing.  Probably did agility and tail wind in rapid succession to run away from XantheUnwinArt's terrifying shiny mega-charizard but I suppose running away from anything on a similar angle will suffice as far as the end result goes.

Pokemon SI: Before the Race

3d mega-pidgeot and low poly 3d-fyn

Me giving Flashwing a pep talk before the race, or something.  The bird and I are actual size.

I am actually going to get this done before/by the deadline though it will be missing a few things I wanted to include.  I'm going to be reasonably happy with the effort considering I had to make a few things up on the fly (and learned a bit in the process) and had lost a large chunk of time to work on it due to needing to pull some overtime on a paid gig.

3d mega-pidgeot progress

Starting work on my entry for The Great Pokemon Sky Race Collaboration.  I need to do another version of 3d-fyn (because the last one blew up while I was fiddling with something, probably the rig, and then I reworked Base's rig anyway) as well.  3d-fyn will be riding Flashwing (pidgeot from my Pokemon Yellow game) in mega-evolution (I think mega evolutions are kinda dumb really, however mega-pidgeot form is theoretically big enough to carry 3d-fyn otherwise we'd need an enormous pidgeot).

Hunting

My OT character Lyric hunting with her two eevees, Amber (big shiny mutant thing) and Lightfoot (normal one).

If the Kanto/Johto regions weren't supposed to be tropical I would have left the sky clear, kind of rushed the clouds a little.  And my lighting went to hell when I exported as a jpg so my dodgy quickfix was to turn it into a png.  It only helped a little.  My painting is slightly dodgier than usual as I used a hard edged brush all the way through for some reason instead of a soft edged one like I usually do.

I know what I did wrong :) All I need to do now is catch them before I get to the point of "too hard to fix"...

Pokemon themed sketchdump

The kids watched many Pokemon dvds while we were on Christmas Island.  I have a Pokemon fanfic sketched out in my head which I don't give a lot of time to as it's a very occasional diversion from working on AR.  This is sketch of my OT (that's "Original Trainer" for those that aren't versed in Pokemon fanfics) and two of her Eevees; Amber (combining cliches, she is an abnormally large shiny mutant, and female!), and Lightfoot (perfectly normal male).  They're hunting whatever might be good eating probably somewhere in the Kanto region.

Pika pika

My abnormal pikachu Pyxi.

Sprat challenged me and I eventually accepted. I am slow. This is Pyxi, my Pokemon Yellow pikachu that I used in a forum roleplay. He's growing into a raichu (yes mine grew, rather than flash into the evolution). He's going to scrap with her charmander.

She reckons she'll kick my arse. I disagree, but nobody ever listens to me anyway.
