I made a modular system for creating servitor NPCs! I can swap in and out hair and skin patterns on the fly! I will make a few more body type variations, and then it's time to do the same with male-types! :)

here's a test render of an NPC from my next indie game :)
This is a servitor, which is an animated corpse used as slave labour in the world of #ByzantineOcculta

It's intimidating to start another game knowing how much work goes into making one... but I have a story to tell.

Hello #portfolioday
I am a Canadian artist who makes vivid images bursting with color! I'm available for commission, sequential art/comics, book covers, etc!

Each of those steps requires a fully different workflow with dozens of different keystrokes, buttons, subtle tricks, and countless of repetitions of hours of trial/error, reading documentation or following tutorials. What I'm trying to say is that it's hard to make a chick sit in a truck.

For example, to dress a character: i make a body, then a skeleton (rig) for it, then "weight paint" the body so it moves WITH the rig. Then I have to create and weight paint the clothes so they move WITH the body, then make shape keys so the cloth bunches and folds. This is before i pose/animate.

I know this screenshot just looks like a chick with glowing eyes sitting in the back of a truck, but sometimes i remember how much effort it took to learn rigging, sculpting, texturing, lighting, posing, and all the dozens of commands and menus and hundreds of hours of learning.

Nikita, one of my OCs. This was intended to just be a simple warmup but it ended up being a full render :) #ocsky

some pictures of Nikita, one of my OCs based in the immediate aftermath of the Cold War :) I like using OCs to explore different historical periods! Makes history even more interesting when you place an OC in it :)

If looks could kill
They probably will
In games without frontiers
War without tears.

Fritz is my Cold War era OC. He is a player of the Game, which is what spies call(ed) the global, covert war for informational dominance that continues to this day.
