My final piece for Blender class! Wanted to try using the model more specifically for layout and rendering, while solving the color and details afterwards in Photoshop.

This was my penultimate piece for the #Blender class I took! Set out to treat this model as more of an underdrawing, and build it out specifically with the camera in mind.

Another experiment! Trying out using two separate UV maps— one fully lit and one fully in shadow. The thought was that hand painting the lights and shadows would offer more granular control over the colors (and allow for some fun pops of saturation that only appear in the shadows!)

An experiment with hand drawn textures in #blender from earlier this year! Trying to bridge the gap between my Blender models and my illustrations.

Modeled out all the innards and then lowered the alpha! Think I did some fiddling with the material to get that blur in the translucence, but it looks like I lost those settings when I updated Blender. Nothing fancy though that's for sure, I didn't know what I was doing haha!

Topology's not the cleanest, but here you go! The class was focused just on Blender as a tool to help with visdev rather than making usable game assets, so good topology took a bit of a back seat.

A couple more early pieces— learned a lot from doing these two! (Plus a first couple attempts at drawing into the models after the fact!)

The framing of the class was to make pieces relating to an original story pitch. Took a couple characters from an old illustration, reworked their designs a bit, and went from there— the first assignment was to design a food stall that could exist within the setting!

Drew this back in 2019 to commemorate the end of Waypoint's Big Boy Season during that year's Save Point stream.
Well, Save Point is back *right now!!* Go watch the @remapradio.bsky.social crew play Bloodborne: The Board Game at twitch.tv/remapradio and support a good cause while you're at it!

Sorting through some of my old background design work from The Owl House! These are a few exteriors of the Selkidomus cave in the first episode of season 2.

A few more sketches from that idea! The main character was the mech's navigator, an inexperienced mage trying to pay off a debt.
