Happy Inktober & Sword Progress!

Learning to get more comfortable with ink!

Here were my practices before I did the sword.

And painted up a sword! Next step is to polish the detail.

Sword Prop for the Pup!

Did a live stream on Twitch while I was painting this!

If you are interested in seeing me make the rest of the sword options,

For reference on this sword, I looked closely at Rafael Zanchetin's model on Sketchfab!

Seal of Dawn by rafazanchetin on Sketchfab

My plan is to emulate an artist's style that I really like as best as possible. Learn from their work. Study their strokes and detail. And Rafael is one of the best in my book for painting and texture painting. (Blizzard hire him!!)

Updated textures for the puppy model next to the newly painted sword!

I am le tired~

And a paintsketch I did for the Handpainted Art Jam. Testing out my new photoshop plugin the "Magic Picker", practicing my color variation (tip from Faf @ link), and just wanting to do something fun.

Clothes!

Quick 1st draft of color and shapes. Sleeping early today for reasons of needing to be up at 4am tomorrow. XP

What I learned today while texturing this, is that don't mess with the UVsets for final stuff. I don't quite understand it yet, and I messed something up. Not sure if this is the cause, but I can't paint to the edges anymore on my clothing pieces. Also, the pup's body now has patches of invisible textures. 

Clothes for the puppy pirate!

Clothes!! Kinda! I will texture those tomorrow! Getting cloooooose...

More Puppy Progressss!

Getting closer, I think! Omg fur. I like how the ears turned out. Need more contrast in that chest fur.

Another update on...puppy! Oops!

Wasn’t going to work on the pup so soon, but since my ship was having technical issues with 3D Coat, I figured I’d spend the time working on this.

Another puppy render!

At a perspective that is closer to what it will look like in the game.

BTW, I started up a Tumblr to spread my visibility a little bit more, and keep a watch on the artists that are currently there!

Not sure if there will be any differences in my content from here to there, but I'll do my best to keep it consistent!
