Teasday!
Now in color.

Color is thankfully a lot easier to animate than the lines. You can tween most of it, and the rest can handle much less attention to detail.

We interrupt regularly scheduled programming to inform you that Christmas is (somehow) around the corner again, which means it's time for....

THE ANNUAL 'CHICHMAS RAFFLE!

The rules remain simple:
- Be follower,
- Comment SFW ref
- I pick winners on pure personal whim, no fairness or guarantees

New month, new set of Teasdays

I could have just tweened the scale of a single picture, but no, my dumb overambitious masochistic butt decided to draw all the frames in order to get that subtle perspective shift of real camera motion.

Why do I do this to myself

Enjoyers of Zootopia fanfiction may both rejoice and weep, for one of the greatest fics has been completed at long last, and I've been given the honour of providing its closing illustration.

If you haven't checked out Aninat's Evergreen, now's the best time -> archiveofourown.org/works/52525297

It's the last Teasday of this month..., but definitely not the last of this project. See you next month with more!

It's the third Teasday of the month! I am so far behind plan that I'm starting to run out of interesting stuff to tease 😭

Might not make it for the Halloween goal, but alas, good things can't be rushed. The big reveal will happen whenever it's ready.

It's the second Teasday of the month. Another tease makes its appearance!

It's the first Teasday of the month. A random tease manifests.

Looks like the spooky month is upon us again!

I won't be doing any daily drawing challenge this year, I'm cooking up something for Halloween and I'll need all the time I can get if I want to complete this even remotely close to the date. xD

I am still planning to make some daily posts though,

Another month+ passes, and I finally get to finish another piece of the model!
The pelvic plating (or as I've grown to lovingly call it, The Thong™) is finally retopologized.

Here is a random birthday gift I made for Salakirby back on the bird-butt site. I may yet come to regret this later. xD

(Model credit goes to Ryn3D, I made only the animation, background, and audiovisual editing)

I'm not an authority on this in any sense of the word, I've drawn a big cat exactly three times in my career so you should take my suggestions here with the whole salt shaker, but here's an attempt.

(said suggestions can be found in the alt text. I don't wanna spam this with a whole thread xD)

And now something for the Zootopia fans again!
I'm happy to say there is a new chapter of Mr Aninat's Evergreen available ( archiveofourown.org/works/525252... ), featuring a new illustration made by yours truly.
If you like well written fics, and if you ship the fox and the bun, go check the story!

All versions of the mouse can now also be found over on Itaku
( itaku.ee/profile/koch... ), including an extra version with both poses composed in one image.

I believe the site can also give you the uncompressed originals, so if you'd like those, that's where you can get them.

ACCESS DENIED
PLEASE DO NOT THE MOUSE

(I figured that in hindsight this probably still needs at least a suggestive label, because even though it's not explicit, I suppose it's not exactly safe either xD)

"Eeep!? W-wait, what are you looking at?"
August 7, 2025 at 11:29 AM
Oh no! \O_o/
August 1, 2025 at 4:05 PM
Over a month later, the chest shell is done!

And no, I didn't take a break here, it actually took a whole friggin month to wrangle the topology on this thing. It was an ordeal, and it was entirely my own incompetence and excessive perfectionism.

But, I think I learned at least a little bit there.

Deep Narrator Voice: "They were, in fact, a scammer."

The rate at which the frequency of these increases is becoming concerning.

It did not go a whole lot faster, nevertheless the ears are now fully retopologized. And I think they turned out pretty well.

Next up, we start putting pretty squares on the big ol' cuirass.

👏

Finally detached the new head from the sculpt, letting me make much needed fixes to the mouth and sharp bends among other things.
(This will cause so many problems later with normal map baking, but I won't worry about that now xD)

Now doing retopology on the ears. Should go a lot faster hopefully.

After much pain (praise be the dev gods for periodic autosaves) the noggin is now almost done.

Of course the mesh is far from final, there are some features that don't translate well from snapping to the sculpt (namely areas around sharp edges), which will need to be retouched with snapping off.
