Okay, been ages since I've had time to get any practice 3D work done, but time to get in gear again.
This time, I'm thinking something that I might even be able to make a few $'s off of. If there's any group that will pay through the nose for even bad artwork, its the furries. So I'm working on a base furry that I can then modify into different things as needed. Its actually proving to be rather fun so far. The more cartoony aspect lets me play around with it more than it would if I were trying to be more realistic with proportions.

I still muse to this day at how much of this is like writing.
First step is to just bang out a rough shape in whatever way it takes to get it down, then you spend hours going back over it and tweaking it point by point until what you end up is the same general outline, but contains none of the individual pieces you actually started out with.

I like nice butts and I cannot lie.
![]() I am slowly making some progress on this, when I'm not getting distracted by piddly little things like work and social life. Still not 100% happy with the join between arms and torso, got the feeling I'll be tinkering with that a lot. Also thinking I need to flatten out the area between the breasts to create less cleavage between them. Its hard to try and keep it more shapeless than normal for the cartoon look. I'll adjust a vertices here, a vertices there, and suddenly realize out of nowhere the model has breasts again instead of just curves and I have to go smooth it all back out again.

One of those "it doesn't look like much happened, but it did" moments.

Hey look, I had another project that I didn't want to work on enough to get back to this one!
Only added hands though. I'm not entirely happy with them, but they're serviceable. For now.

Hey, in case you see this---when you do cartoon figures don't try to think in terms of standard human anatomy--in these types of creation you are allow a certain "suspension of belief".
go back and study how thumbs are made---if you remove a thumb from a hand, most people will just remove the digit but the thumb actually extends down to the bottom of the hand and looks eerily like a chicken leg quarter. Look at your own hand and you will see. This "leg quarter" is what makes your thumb opposable. now, to your figure--thumbs rest on the inside and not the outside to take your inside most finger and change it to a thumb. You don't have to do much else after that---a three fingered one thumbs character is not all that uncommon--hope that helps with the hand if you ever actually see this, LOL. best wishes! |
