a nimbo render paintover! as an excuse to share rohan and nimbus references! for totally selfless purposes. not like i am desperate for more art of them or anything. of course.
this time i had patience to set up the lights in blender despite how long it takes for the preview to render every time because so much shiny metal... happy with how it turned out.
anyway,,,
putting all of these under the cut! this is a humongous post. i’m sorry. headsup there will be butt closeups
relevant note one: if you overlap the models, nimbus’ face neatly fits over rohan’s (though their eyes are lower since baby features). they are technically taller because their helmet forehead is larger. but nimbus’ heels sit higher from the floor in their shoes than rohan’s do, making nimbus a wee bit shorter than rohan actually. cute detail i enjoyed discovering!
that thing with the messed up texture on their shoulder is how the skyboard attaches. there’s a shot with it further down. nanite magic woo!
relevant note number two: nimbus here is missing their earrings. i couldn’t get the texture to show up and they looked super awk so i took them off. they look like this:
they are meant to be the same silvery material as the rest of the head and the inside glows like their neck details. i saw it fuchsia-ish in game, not sure if it changes.
love that neck window. for kisses.
thigh window!
back handle windows. there is a large gap in the middle between their back and the corset which you can kind of see here.
that waist-thigh ratio though... and the belly curve. ooft.
mandatory upnose shot!
how skyboard attaches (the folded skyboard model is so tiny... nanite magic!)
rohan time!! i love nimbus but rohan’s design is so gorgeous...
note the silvery ears. nimbus has them too under the helmet.
sir i am in love with you. how are you so handsome.
we like a moulded chest plate...
his back brace and thighs are thicc but he ain’t got any less cake than nimbo. promise.
relevant note number i forgor: the model wasn’t intended to be used for animation or seen in good lighting so the palms of his hands are the same colour as the rest of him. keep in mind to lighten them when you paint him <3 also whew aren’t those apple pie details breathtaking ...
he also has a kissy neck window but it is covered by his fancy half cape thing.
whew hopefully tumblr will not freak when i attempt to post this. i really hope these are useful to you, whether for fanwork purposes or for blorbo microwave rotation purposes! please enjoy <3
many thanks to the people over on the destiny model server for extracting them.

Hello, new followers ! Glad to see that really niche-ship sketches can gather new shippers.
and btw, don't hesitate to consider my sketches as starting points for writing fics, or stuff. Fandom work is collaborative and i'm all ears.
