I wanted to move on from the textures for a bit, cause i know i'll need to make fixes anyways. Mondays are usually my break days, but i couldnt stop myself from working on it for at least an hour before i pass out. LET THE BONIFICATION BEGIN

also! this is an important note :D this is a wholly new way to model eyes to me. this was one of the things that i was stressing over most while working on this model so far. yesterday(saturday 1/25) i spent about 4 hours studying this method on other models before i finally got it working for mine!

Hitting another point of failure here. the whole retopo is done, but the last part that needs to be made is the wing membrane. ive got the shape how i want, but im mentally struggling with thinking how to get the topology to work and be riggable... i may have to restart this one

-UV mapping
-Rigging/Weight painting
-Textures(after uv mapping)
-Visemes

Thats got it! this time i laid down the verts i wanted and pinned them in place before placing the others and smoothing them. from there i was able to mark the verts as sharp and now i get the clear shape that i was after!

ive gotten even more of the fluff and other parts done, and now im getting to the small details and the tail. i looked it over again after trying to manually place a lot of the verts.... and i kinda hate it. to the bin! tomorrow i have a much better plan on how to pull it off in a way i like >:D

i was waiting for a perfect time to do it. waiting for the confidence to not make a mistake. but thatll never happen. if youre scared to do it. then do it scared. but DO it. even if it takes multiple attempts. 2 months after i was ready to move to blender ive only made it this far retopoing.

it was only the rings around the legs and arms! but it was a foot in the door. and it was enough!
and now, im sitting here after work, 2 weeks after i put those verts down, still taking it slowly. but i 𝑎𝑚 doing it. even if its taking a while. even if im scared i'll fuck up. and now look! whiskers!

i took all that to heart! i went back, i pulled up more references. i 𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑑 𝑎𝑔𝑎𝑖𝑛. i spent another dozen hours working on it. i constantly looked back to the references, to the critique. i asked for opinions again from others. and then a week later i hit a point i was really proud of.

i s2g imma lose it with that auto adult marking for something sfw.
ANYWAYS. i couldnt shake that feeling, so i went around and i asked for critiques. someone sat down with me for like 2 hours and we went over stuff. he literally gave me the best art critique id ever gotten in my life.
