I do Splatoon Blender as a hobby, and I have a Splatoon story ("Melissa's Story") that's been in writing for... 7 years and I still haven't finished the first chapter, hmm.
You can google my username to find more of my stuff.

I just had a thought, and I know this seems silly obvious, but I swear I just had the idea now.
I think when I have the time, I can make a few short stories. Like really really short.
And I can make renders for those, too.
Just something to write.

Going to be advertising my comms once again,
All of the details of it is in my carrd site here: velepexon.carrd.co
Definitely hit me a DM if you're up for it, although do take note that I'm all the way East (GMT+8), so I may reply a bit late sometimes

Just updating again, 'cause I haven't posted much.
I'm still alive! Been on a bunch of school stuff, and I'm still on this render.
It seems insane this single render has been taking a month, but it's a lot of experimenting and perfectionism.
It'll be worth it

Hey guys, sorry for not being quite active
Had quite sick day, and school is starting to beat me up
I'm still quite demotivated on Blender, but I hope I can get back during this weekend. I just need to settle with my school stuff first, then I can continue messing around

I may be going through swelled tonsils right now, but Blender 5.0 hella cool.
Too bad I'm still switching to CAST format soon, but the new FBX importer's pretty great. No more metallic madness.

Of course the solution was a misconception due to an earlier restriction. I didn't consider joining the models because I *WAS* on Random Walk, which hates geometry intersections, but Christensen-Burley lives for a single unified model, so I was supposed to—

I'm so locked out, I just cleaned up over 100GB of my storage space because in an attempt to play PvZ GOTY on my VM, it just bricked itself, so I'm reinstalling the whole thing

Yeah, so, the compositing solution definitely works
But it's super aggressive, so I lose some nice sss shadows
Cryptomatte's looking a bit rough, but that's another problem that can be solved, I'll get to that later
But damn, sucks

I have only two possible solutions left, both are the most likely to work, but are the largest amount of effort.
That means for the tutorial series, I absolutely cannot use Christensen-Burley. So, it'll be Random Walk, instead, and with a Rec.709 working space.

I guess I can still send some wips, as long as I get to complain about my current situation
Ahem

possibly a migraine
Yeah, I'm struggling to fix this SSS issue, none of the methods work, I'm gonna go play Plants Vs Zombies

Another day, another time I'm glad I didn't make the tutorial series sooner because WOW
Okay, 5.0's working space thing is a little finicky, and I think I might have to ignore it if it's causing way too much problems with my current setups.
Rec.709 -> Rec.2020 is not easy :P

Haven't been active because I've been busy and I've been literally doing small lighting value changes
I am obsessing over the tiny light differences, I wanna grab the image in my mind, but it's not easy

I wanted to try out a physical mindset with the lighting in this scene
But I'm sorry, if I gotta go beyond 5 f-stops for Exposure, then I don't believe it's valid for this type of render
Guess I'm going back to BS'ing light strength values
Also, this is -6.5 Exposure

[WIP] Alright, poses are about done
Got some tiny things to fix here and there, and then I'll get to lighting, and then spend maybe a few more hours, or a few more days, perfecting over every tiny detail because this is not where I want to leave it at.
See y'all some time

[WIP] For only an hour, I think I'm doing good so far
Still a lot of things to fix, and I don't think I'll be prepared for the pain that is Marie's kimono when I'm done with this
2 characters left, but I'mma go eat breakfast first

Alright, I got the pose ideas finished, and I'll get to posing the characters first thing tomorrow morning
Kinda rushed a bit, but I can't spent too long sitting here and looking at a blank page, so I'll just run with what I got
Trust the process

Not only did I spent an entire day setting up a rig for someone
I still haven't yet decided on a pose for one out of five characters
This is gonna take a really long while

Will have to upscale Marie's textures and fix her Bluetooth, but like, ehhh, it's working enough now, and I'm already feeling exhausted, again.
