renderss. thanks for watching

this project was an ordeal but I do like how things turned out. really wanted to try sculpting a posed figure, cloth folds & effects, & try making akira egawa-styled textures. I kinda just wanted to make something cool, really. yahoo

full sculpt + before & after texturing

also if any of the lighting looks weird it's because all of this is on the base color channel & lit with substance painter generators so a lot of stuff is separate. there's probably a better way to do this but I thought it'd be cool

Update it turns out decimation can kinda mess with AO if the thickness isn't great to begin with so. gotta go fix that. but we're getting there

I'm more annoyed than anything that I finally got myself to commit to a big project for once & when it's nearing completion the one part that breaks was the most time consuming. it just hurts man

true full commitment don fans are rare but don haters are to be avoided unequivocally

I seem to have a very bad habit of committing to projects I think will be reasonable in scope & realizing in the process I need to learn like three different fields to make it remotely presentable

this was sorta kinda a test for making gloves for Plant Character but I'm still not sure what I even want to do with the arms there so um yeah

I gotta learn how to commit to a project & see it through man
