since I've been looking at this model on and off all week I finally decided to finally make a proper hair model for her bc the one before is more of a proof of concept for myself than something I considered actually final
tryna give that hair more VOLUME ygm, the placeholder hair fell wayyy short of my vision
...however, I'm not used to him not having that slack-jawed dead fish stare so it feels a bit odd ngl. now that I think about it bro really has fewer facial expressions than I have hoes or reasons to live 馃拃
was playing around w/ opm models and wanted to try toon shading them. my first attempt was fucking awful, so I decided to try using the BOTW shader.
I was pleasantly surprised by the results, though it took quite a bit of fiddling and improvising some of the necessary masks for the shader to function semi-decently
I need to add onto this LMAO
so on twitter my Onyx and Sora post is captioned differently bc of tweet character limits:
and a reply made me laugh and gave me a further idea
love the idea that Sora is just so confidently wrong about what exactly a stock is and Onyx can't really argue due to literally being a heartless inside a doll 馃槀馃槀馃槀
Some Goofs
"and so you see when you kill a nobody they don't actually die, they get 'recompleted and come back as a real person so technically-"
"..."
"what? no I'm not trying to 'rationalize murder', I'm just telling you that when you say I 'killed people' it's a bit misleading."
"..."
"...alright this is gonna sound really bad but hear me out ok? heartless aren't people so that doesn't count either."
Mysterious Onyx discovers women. 6/10 this one shouts a lot.
idk what to put on this one I just thought it was cute lol
mentioned this on twitter but the doll we collectively call "Angelic Amber" is technically actually called "Mysterious Onyx" according to her packaging, so I'm gonna call her that from now on
anyway I retouched Onyx's shaders bc I love her and she deserves it
also finally got around to converting and shading some boxes you find around the battle arena, like the packaging I mentioned above
including the boxes for the other two variants. the fact that they didn't bother with the sides since these only appear on shelves amuses me deeply
also this cute portrait
and then just some interchangeable parts. near as I can tell each of the three swappable parts (dress, hair, and eyes) has 4-5 colors at minimum just based on what I can find in the files
though oddly enough no color variants of Onyx's dress exist in the files, only Elegant Emerald and Sweet Ruby's
I like to imagine that throughout the the countless centuries the Light Dragon spent flying around, as the Master Sword recovered strength through constantly bathing in light, Fi was talking to her and keeping her company.
and I like to think that even if she couldn't understand the words, even if it was just noise to her, deep down she knew she wasn't alone.
I would have my lawyer inform them very truthfully that I have no idea where these things came from. and I would also inform them that I definitely did not steal these from a greasy ass one-eyed man, nor was I in possession of these items before or during the events of KH3 :)
edit: adding this on bc one of my twitter followers asked me what's inside and I had to bust out The Video again LMAO
the past 24 hours have been very lucky for me bc I was able to find a neat model edit of Cassie that makes her look closer to her final appearance in the Roxy Salon cutouts (I also found out after working on the model's shaders, IK, and building a neat lil rig system for snapping bones/objects to different spots that her Help Wanted 2 model had a better face so now I get to port all my existing shaders and rig to a new model! 馃槄
I also found a really cool model (edit???) that gives Ruined Roxanne her AR bits! not totally sure if this model was just ripped since I don't own the game and I cannot seem to find any other versions of this model. whatever the case it looks nice.
apparently tumblr doesn't allow me reply directly to stuff so I'll just do this here
so the short answer is "unfortunately no"
the long answer is that I started learning blender with a foundation of 2 years of watching tutorials and several prior years of bare-knuckle boxing with MMD (and RayMMD by extension)
so I never actually went looking for tutorials on stuff like that, I just kinda jumped in head first and figured it out the long way. I suggest getting real familiar with the shortcuts for navigating the viewport and manipulating objects first bc you're gonna use them a LOT.
wish I could be of more help, but that's the best I've got
this was an idea I was gonna use as my valentine's day art, but in the end I managed to finish my Aqua x Larxene piece so I just put something rough down to finish another day
I don't often have these two in the workspace at the same time so I never noticed that Kairi is a bit taller than Olette until today
