Krample

Upscaling my old Kobold models - subdivs and creases and a lot of poly wrangling without messing with UV's!

@MonsterLadyLove The face is good. Can I draw her~? C:<

New year, new character sheet! #originalcharacter

Practical problems require practical solutions By Mulm!

Painting shading, WIP

@FunnyLunettaART I see I see, apologies for assuming. That helps a lot, thanks~ <:

@kramplekun Something like this! Ignore the multiple tails lol Btw they are not a lady, it's a little complex to explain

Lust Ink and pencil, will color it another time #oc

@FunnyLunettaART What's her legs look like? 🍗

@kramplekun HOLY SHIT I WOULD BE HONORED, i have other illustrations if you need!

@FunnyLunettaART I'm enamored by the hair in particular, I love statuesque and super-luxurious manes like that. And yeah I love shramp and isopods, I'm designing a bunch of crustaceans for a side project in between work!

@kramplekun Omg same, i saw your work, IT'S AMAZING, also noticed you're a shrimp enthusiast, ME TOO!! I'm really happy you like them, it's a character from my comic project so seeing people being interested in them makes me cry! x.com/i/status/19784…

@Someone14083233 Sure!

@kramplekun erm, could i Dm you? i dont want to bother but i did a model (SFW) and idk if it will afect the t pose i did when animating or if i should go for something more ig what you did here!

Hair is down to 8k triangles - I will try to shave it down to 5k tomorrow. With some cleanup, I'm hoping to have the entire avatar at sub 40k, but I'm not sure how realistic this will be - the hands alone are at 8k.

@Someone14083233 I use Blender, but not for texturing

@kramplekun holy toledo, i tought you used blender btw

@Someone14083233 For the texturing, I paint. There's no magic bullet here, just lots and lots and lots of work

@kramplekun oh you did retopo no? i saw the sculpting, dang it turned out awesome for real dude! do you twak somethin so they skin looks more alive ? the one i did loks oddly rubbery or plasticy

@Someone14083233 Sure did, buncha winding cubes!

@kramplekun box modeled!? it started as a cube!?!?!?

Chickenfeet....

Some texturing details, really happy with how this is starting to turn out.

@Someone14083233 No, I actually box modelled them and slapped on a subdiv modifier. It was very meticulous!

@kramplekun Thats awesome! Did you use path to make the hair? I think i might rework mine for my 3d model usen paths with less peaks!

Ended up having to iterate a bit more than I had expected to on these chicken UV's. I would have liked to carve up the fluff more, but I know a lot of you want to paint directly on the UV's in Photoshop, so that becomes a big factor for me to keep in mind!

@Someone14083233 At that point I was halfway through merging all the hair tufts into one solid "Shell". I use randomized object colors often to see which meshes are unique. It is now 100% welded, and I ended up at 6k triangles :-)

@kramplekun quick question! why does the hair parts look diferent colour! isnt that the same retopologised mesh? like m the same one comming out from the face and such!
