OK so went ahead and i Think it´s Better if i do her Hair with the Particals and actually Rig it instead of useing Polgon hair

IDK the thought of the UV Mapping was a bit much for me so yeah. than agian better to leave it for now,

BTW if i Do go with the plans i do i´ll likely Rig it up like this

so Did that, got her Goggoles done, prepared some Hair for Refs and also Get her body setup,

and what i DO TO KILL SOME TIME AFTER THAT?

Well Been board with just Drawing now and feeling like getting anywhere, i Actually instead just Went ahead and Sculpted a

Piranha, looking at the time i did post this i sadly wouldn´t be able to do retopo on it BUT! im actually planning to Do that, as well as do some Multires Sculpting, Textureing, Basicly make it a fully animateable model, this Fish is NOT on my todo list and was just for fun´s Sakes, a good reason as to why i did it is mostly as a Test run as, i do miss Doily, Nat and Kitube and i also feel like and like i said, got a bit board with Drawing and i feel like i got more than enough model sheets and desigins and critters in 2D so, i feel like about time i do turn them 3D.

but yeah, Tomorrow i´ll get Willa Brown´s Body Retopo done as well as getting Retopo done for our little fish here.

Nice.

OK, Get Retopo on Willa Brown´s Head done alongside her eyebrrows and eyelashes,

it did take a bit of time tho thinking about What i´d Like to Do vs What i would need regarding textureing,

as i did say, right now plans are i would like to Do some Textureing prep work and tho i might have changed my mind about Doing the Colors fully, mostly because that way i Would Also get Everthing else Ready for when i Do get to the Specular, Roughness and all those maps, i might still do that.

However a thing i do wanna Say now is well saveing hair for tomorrow, mostly because i want to Get it Looking right and Be Useable, YES im well aware i have done Poly hair in the past, However if i want to do it For Willa Brown, might be best to use these curves for it,

mostly because i Think they might Hopefully be Useful when i do Bake them and Texture and Weight piant them for Rigging and animation, it´s Best if i convert these hair curves into a mesh tho i might not we´ll see.

So yeah Willa Brown´s modeling is going Strong, i hope i Sorted out a good plan for the next phase Post Multires on Willa Brown and Hercy, as i would Like to Get Baked Textures ready and everything for those bits and how many would be useful.

Also worth pionting out, i might Actually unironicly Do Doily, Nat, Kitube and Skittles as well as Grumpy after multires Sculpting is done on Hercy and i Start To Texture Willa Brown. IDK might be a great way to kill some time.

also don´t Worry i´ll still use hair particles for Willa Brown tho, not for her head but for her shorts tho, i feel like that Sort of thing looks better, same gose for Fur and feathers.

anyways i Guess that´s it for now. Willa Brown´s Hair for tomorrow, wish me good luck.

Next up Retopo for Willa Brown and Belty, than the multires and THAN

over To do the Same for Hercy who has just goteen a new eye texture.

just missing her Boots, shorts, Plates and of course Belty too

right now i´ll just Try to Stick to my plans, Getting Willa Brown´s Sculpt, Retopo and Multires Done first than the same for Hercy before i than move onto Textureing Willa Brown, idea is to Try and break my Loop i have been stuck in for a long time and has prevented me from doing any projects Lately (inlcudeing Jurassica) and also get more used to the workflow.

im actually considering to do some models to kill some time BTW, not sure who tho i´ll come maybe, Sculpting chracters is not a hard chocie but picking whice ones is,

But anyways Getting Willa Brown done tomorrow hopefully, Don´t Want to be a Perfectionist here and well hope to cook up some cool shit soon.

Willa Brown is almost done, just missing her hands and Feet

and her Clothing and metal plates too, than i can sculpt Belty.

you want to know a big Problem i have had and Actually have been a Reason why i haven´t gotten any projects off and even models... i got a Prefectionist problem as a matter of fact and as a reslut i did give Up on Jurassica a 3rd time in a loop and all, i want to get out of this Problematic loop now and i gotta put the Effort into it.

admitting it is a good first step, next things are going to be harder as i did get Started on this right after Jurassica was dropped, honestly feels like forever i last got animateing and i know why now...

and i honestly want a hug now, feeling a bit down.

Willa Brown´s Looking Great, while im unsure when i should do her Hair,

right now i think im good to go for now and saveing the Rest for tomorrow, i also hard to Color in the Jabba smaug art, wish i had deleted that kirta file after i made this post here.

thought i´d like to update Willa Brown in a good way and same with Hercy too,

thought i would make Hercy´s Neck a little Shorter and his head Slightly bigger too as you can see here, thought Hercy would Look better if he had that change done to him and more bird like too.

anyways Plans so far are i´ll first Get Willa Brown(and Belty)´s Sculpt, Retopo and Multires done first than The Same for

Hercy before i Get to work on thier Textureing

yeah

Actually went out of my way to do a blender eye setup for Hercy and Willa Brown,

tomorrow i´ll start to block them out.

These this and This Video to get where i wanted with thier eyes

right now im just going to Try and prefect my modeling Skills a bit more so now i got a good workflow plan.

going to Prep up Willa Brown and Hercy tomorrow.

YEAH, some part of me was starting to think maybe I once agian, BIT OFF more than i can chew and Right now doing Alex johanna just as soon as Akio´s almost done was a bit much, should had stuck to my old plans with getting her Multires and textureing done as soon as Akio was fully done... OH WELL There´s that, hopefully next time i´ll do jurassica i´ll keep that in mind, i have learned some good things,

i have figured out it´s better to Paint in some details like the Texture of Nails onto my models, as well as that

the old ways of Pianting scales onto a model work just as fine in a world where i´d prefer to sculpt them as much as it did when i just rush pianted scales all over the body

in edition i Got Pretty Far and tho not Completed the models, i think i gotta still be Proud about how far i have gotten so with Akio and Alex as well as with Conner, able Pull off ALOT more than i thought i was able to, like Retopo the models of Alex and Conner just before doing Akio´s Complex rigging and everything.

SO

what´s in Store for Willa Brown and Hercy?

Well so far no clear plans but i do Hope to make a Project that can Act like a real Pilot episode for DragoGen, nothing too major but something like what Rabbit for Dinner was for Doodle toons (i One of those Pre-hazbin hotel indie animators so that´s mostly why i compare it to that)

thought over what might be a good plot for this pilot tho ONE THING has standed out,

i Want it to feature and also be focused on a Wyvern.

not a Pokaui but some of the other wyverns i got a Prototype for lying around.

the snipes or even the Harpy dragon here tho, that one is mostly so i can show a wyveling, got kinda inspired by jurassic world rebirth´s trailer with the Pterosaur nest scene.

SOOO YEAH, that´s the End of this Jurassica Take but, i do want to keep the Script around so i can return to it when i feel alot better and have improved my modeling skills and Prefected the workflow.

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.
