To those who have room/home designs for their OCs, how do you plan then? I'm curious the different ways people do it. Popular ones I've seen is building them in The Sims or Minecraft. #artists #ocs

It's been a while since I've posted anything that wasn't a commission, but I've been busy building my new PC (just finished it a few weeks ago!) and I've been fixating on Deltarune. I've got no motivation to do much Blender stuff lately. May or may not get back into cosplay...

Commission for @originalbramble.bsky.social, thank you for commissioning me! I love the squid bumpers and I've been wanting to do something with them for a while, so I had some fun with this.

Just making a post here because I constantly have people going out of their way to message me here or on Discord to ask what models/shaders I use.
I don't use anyone's models or shaders, my models and shaders are my own that I have worked to perfect for 2+ years.

I need to hold myself accountable so I will delete this when I do it.
I need to work on updated OC reference shests and write a bio for Reef.
I also need to shower today...

The SOLAR Blaster is a flashy new space-based weapon by NEO with a kit that fits the theme! Invade the enemy base with Big Bubbler and chase your target with the Torpedo sub. Oh, and the holograms are just for show.

Another summer, another Mahi piece. Let's just pretend that inklings don't die in water.

So, I didn't make a piece for the 10th anniversary so I thought I'd share some words instead.
I first learned of Splatoon through the "you're a kid you're a squid" commercial that became a meme, but I didn't own a Wii U so I couldn't play it. Once Splatoon came to the Switch in 2017, I was excited-

Remade this page from Bancala Walker in 3d, because I thought these characters were so cute

I had a LOT of computer problems with the last render. I think my laptop's on it's last legs. Instead of spending my bday money on commissions, I think I'm going to save up for an actual desktop before it gets too late. Reminder that my commissions are open, but I can't offer full scenes right now.

Where do you guys find inspiration for action poses? I have a hard time coming up with poses in my brain, but finding dynamic references of characters holding weapons is god near impossible!

🧵 Blender Tips Thread
(since quite a few were interested!) Decided to make these into images rather than risk the post character limit.
I'll be adding onto this thread whenever I come up with new tips. Keep in mind these mostly will be Splatoon specific!

First tip is "merging faces" 🦑
#splatblend
When working with the game models you'll see that the expressions are separated into their own meshes, and those are also separate from the main head mesh. This creates a visible seam between the face and the skull, which introduces issues with subsurface scattering (if you use it). To fix this, just duplicate the head for as many expressions as there are, and join them individually (don't forget the mouth meshes too!) Then you can go into Edit Mode for each new head, select everything (A), then merge by distance. Make sure the value is extremely small (something like 0.0001) to avoid accidentally fusing the lips together. If you fused the face models with the heads, now you're just left with multiple heads! Merging this to the Body mesh isn't a very good idea considering the expressions will need to be swapped out in the future. If you're not using subsurface scattering, you can just keep it like this - but if you are - the seam between the head and the body will be very visible. There is no way around this aside from making the entire mesh completely solid. So, instead of joining and merging the vertices here each time we make a new render, we can just use the Boolean modifier to temporarily join the two meshes into one during renders. Place the modifier on the body mesh, and make it look exactly like this. For the object, just choose the head mesh you'd wish to join. Important Note: The Boolean modifier lags the viewport immensely, especially during posing. It's best you disable the modifier in the viewport, and only have it enabled on render. And in the actual outliner, reverse it. So, enable the unmerged head in the viewport, but not in the render.

Is anyone interested in a small thread of Blender tips/tricks? There's a lot of small things I want to share with the Splatblender community after doing this for so long but haven't had the chance to (no one asked lol)
