anyway, this is the stuff i was trying to tweet last night, some experiments! the definition on the hair is just a hard round brush in black with a gaussian blur
the betta fish-lookin' ponytail is the wire tool i linked before with some soft select sculpting
hair plane with a brush from affinity designer. the tool i'm using for planes (https://t.co/ulZWH4Mone) doesn't have automatic UVs yet so THAT'S a pain in the ass but otherwise!
i'm going to see if i can make a brush with built in hair alphas next
widening his eyes via textures looks kinda shitty up close but am i ever going to get this close in-game? probably. i'll fix it.
special wide-eye heads? do you know how many head models the 3D ace attorney games had in one character file?
many
i don't have his nose and cheeks blushed correctly so they kind of get lost in the skin but he looks good! i might be able to pull off guys someday after all
always remember to check your angles before you put on the rest of your head
both of them still have kinda crummy topology, but the smooth one has a better shape to work with-- i got the jaw smeared down sharper, and got her cheeks to look a little fuller.
the sculpt tools used for this are the smooth without disturbing the mesh tool, and the move tool
"NO RAISINS ON MY COOKIE! DON'T FORGET!"
(i'm about worked-out tonight and i crossed 1000 followers last night so! gonna cease doin' shit a little early tonight!)
my experimenting has actually been super enlightening! remember when i was all sad that i'd probably never get her hair to look as cute and fluffy as her concepts? it's a start!
(her nose is too small tho, just noticed that)
aaah i think, for my actual game style, i might go with my original textures
the pixel styles are cute, but i don't know if i'll be able to pull the emotional range out of them that i want
definitely still experimenting though! it's hard being your own art director
weird or cute if she ends up sharing poses and mannerisms with her mom?
i borrowed some @brain_graft hands and i'm coping with not being able to model my own. i'll figure it out, i'm just cranky
