OK, i gotta be honest here, the whole Textureing workflow, likely new stuff about it and everything is kinda makeing it hard to it done, not because it´s a lot of work but, it´s Kinda makeing it hard for me, im actually feeling kinda Confused this time around rather than feeling like alot of work around it, like unsure how to do things or whatever and i honestly don´t got a clear plan, with Akio i just went STRAIGHT AHEAD on it but here, im more like "Is this right" or "do i need to do it" IDK kinda of a hard feeling to Describe right now...

feelling like there´s alot ahead of me and for some reason i KINDA wanna Start on a smaller Scale project but than agian not because Akio´s almost done and after Getting Alex and Conner done here with Basic rigging, Textureing and Multires it´s onto getting Akio done.

and YET, Kirta and the new workflows regarding textureing and me wanting to get more used to Blender and been able to make more models Faster also kinda tug at me.

anyways got Alex´s Skin color done. same for the tounge, teeth and hair, i tried to get her nails done but IDK.

might be best if i save those for tomorrow a bit chaotic and organization and planning everything feels a bit hard to do.

UPDATE:

i Think i got the nails done and it´s mostly the Fact i Prefer to use These sorts of texture maps here instead of procedural textures

ALRIGHT Than, so far so good,

NGL but i have Gotten Kinda hooked on the Whole Lizard odyessy side project, so much so i actually had bit of a hard time to focus on Alex here, but told myself to get the Fingers done so that´s what i did,

RIGHT THAN i´ll either

A - stick to Plans on Jurassica and Get Alex and Conner´s Multires and textures done, likely at a hellishly slow speed

B - start over on Alex, Get Akio done fully and who knows what than.

C - Scrap Jurassica for now and get to the Lizard odyssey because it may or may NOT be a better project to start a new and more Creative me and maybe also have done Everything i did on Akio but better.

Atleast all three will require me to do Yoko Ruby, what? she´s my Main mascot.

But for real gave both Scripts a good read and YEAH they are both actually really Good NGL.

also Haveing Swtiched to Kirta i feel like new changes might be on the blue sky,

still i don´t Wanna Scrap Jurassica right now, i still got those VA files and i still got a Good and Soild Script tho that script has grown slightly bigger than planned.

QUICK UPDATE:

Scrapped Lizard odyssey, now i´ll see where i´ll go from there.

YEAH got her Boots and stuff done today,

So right now missing her gun and dart multires wise.

yesterday i also made some goals for 2025.

OK, got the multires sculpting done her her main body, Teeth, Nails and tongue,

going to bake out her shorts, Shirt and T-Shirt tomorrow before i start on multires sculpting her Belt, metal bits, Boots socks, Dart and Gun

im starting to wonder how easy it is doing these Human models here right now.

Well, started over a few times for Alex Johanna´s Body sculpting and i would be lying if i said Jurassica Won´t have the Scars of Learning so to Speak, whice isn´t a bad Thing, i mean switching new Software, time and everything, hopefully when i make new models things go smooth.

Speaking of new Software

little Training with Kirta here with Nat, Doily and Kitube here, tested out the mirror thing for the Quolly Gang,

some Part of me kinda want to do redesigin some Old friends for the sake of improveing in Kirta here tho, i might wanna wait a bit before i do that, tho we´ll see. the amount of Work im gonna have to put into Jurassica Right means i might have to wait a bit before doing anything else and see where i go from there.

gonna Draw with Kirta form now on.

i Still think i gotta figure out this Software

so right now(tho after posting this im getting it ready tho) the Allosaurus eye is now the Lythonax eyes but, the more i figure it out, the better i´ll get and right now im unsure if i should Keep Maisie and Terry, i cut and added them i was writting this.

R.I.P WATTO

1999 - 2025

Minestrone will never be the same without You Watto

Akio´s So far is now Done, ready for been able to Blink, getting her Shape keys done and finally a Custom UI for the Rig,

before doing that i´ll get Alex and Conner´s Multires done as well as thier Textures and basic rigging and weight pianting too, it´s alot BUT! last time i did the Rigging UI thing in Blender on Yoko Ruby i don´t think it went so well so i think it´s better to get this done before i Get Akio´s Model done fully.

with the first month of 2025 almost over im happy to say i have gotten Pretty Far, getting Alex and Conner done right away before doing Akio´s Rigging was not a half bad idea looking at it and the Prepwork has paid off well.

went a bit fast when doing Akio´s rigging and i still got no Clue how i did it, well Kinda, i did Paranet a few bones here and there and use a few Vis bones and stuff OH YEAH and i made some FK and IK switch´s for her legs too.

i think i will get more used to Rigging the more i do it, but for now it´s really just the video courses i gotta fellow to be extra safe.

anyways starting on Alex Johanna´s Multires Sculpting tomorrow, i might Bakeo ut her Skin, Teeth, Nails and Tounge Just before doing her clothing, divide and conquer is Always a good mindset if you think there is alot to do because than there isn´t so much to do all of a shudden and you can have your cake and eat it too.

Other things to keep in mind, Well Sketeched out Maisie, got Allosaurus Eyes ready for drawing that later and a few models have been blocked out, also i do miss Doily, Nat, Kitube, Skittles and Grumpy, i Also wish i had a Model of Willa Brown and Hercy to Animate to kill off sometime BUT! i Think those gotta wait a bit when

above the List of models for Fun is Written in red

CAN´T DO THESE MODELS YET 0/19 and with all this new stuff comming up and also for the sake of been consistent, yeah best to wait with those.

so yeah more updates to come when they come.

THAT took some time didn´t it?

this is why i wanna get Alex and Conner´s three Steps ahead right now

BEFORE get Akio done, but like how i have become better at Sculpting, i wouldn´t be surpised if this sort of rigging will also not take long once i have done it a few more times, but for now i think it´s best if i do this slowly,

FK Arms will be done tomorrow, today tho just the Tweaker bones,

After Akio´s Arms are all set up can i begin on the on Maisie´s Model sheet, just her sketechlines for today and than i´ll begin to blockout the upcomming 3D Models, Stego, Dippy, Little Dippy and Romaleo.

for some fucking Reason Gimp dose this shit

IM NOT FUCKING JOKEING HERE! i was trying to Get Naoko and Makoto´s Model sheets Ready but It won´t be Helpful today and fuck around instead,

this is a Pretty Big bummer for me.

of course i have gotten them ready and all with a Base skeleton, however, if im unable to Drag and drop layers in GIMP and the only solution is some kind of nvidia settings, well im starting to wonder if it is time to Switch software or not.
