They are done! I've uploaded my Hornet and Lace models together on sketchfab and posted some renders on artstation. Almost definitely going to relight/rerender later but I just had to share them now that I'm happy with the texturing #silksongfanart

I love texturing. I'm leaning into the pearly silk look on Lace, then it'll be Hornet's turn soooon.

Some sculpting progress for my Lace model, just focusing on folds. It's been a while since I sculpted in blender over zbrush. Previewing with the pearl matcap because it matches closest to how I'm imagining the silky parts #silksonglace #silksongfanart

They must be cherished at all costs

Hornet: I will impress her on this date with the fluffy and pettable creatures I have met
Lace: I will take her to the underworks to infodump about the systemic oppression underpinning my kingdom

I have become a believer in bug yuri so here's some art in that vein (haven't quite finished the game yet, think I'm on the true final boss) #lacenet #silksongfanart #silksong

How the heck is Lace so cute?? I love her so much. Here's my first attempt at painting her, I hope people enjoy #silksongfanart #SilksongLace #Silksong

I'm stuck in act 3, dreaming of simpler times with Sherma, my beloved splishy splashy boy #Silksong #silksongfanart

Took a break from personal projects for a week to play silksong (and let my back recover from being a big dummy that sits at a desk all day and night). Anyway here's some hollow knight doodles featuring the siblings and their deadbeat dad (sorry to pale king aplogists).

Ending the month and the weekend with some new renders featuring fancy lighting, updated eyeball materials, and placeholder clothing for modesty. This will be a good place to leave the semi-real base mesh for future projects (also doubles as a clothes mannequinn/wig head) #art #3dart

I sculpted the inner layer of the eyeball iris last night. Got a start on the outer part today (painted a mask on the flat eyeball in zbrush and extracted from that). After this whole semi-realistic project is done I think I'll do something more handpainted again. #art #3dart

Went a bit overboard the past couple weeks. Started texturing my base mesh. Finally used UDIMs in painter. Modeled some teethies. Made some hairs/brows/lashes using hair tool for blender (yet to polish). Next up (probably?): more impressive eyes and clothes #3dart #art

Improving the topology on the base mesh I made for my last few humanoid characters. Mostly just adding in more geo for the fingernails, improving the flow around the nostrils to make it easier to sculpt on, and general tidying up. #art #3dart #b3d

Summary of all the paintings I've been working on so far this month. Starting with the Nightreign revenant was such a good omen honestly. Felt like all the stuff I've been practicing paid off #art #Clipstudiopaint

Some of my favourite work from last month. Near the end I tried painting in greyscale again and colouring using soft light layers.

We must have zero tolerance for AI usage in media in any capacity. "Oh it's just placeholder", "oh it's only a small percentage of our project" will inevitably lead to more. It devalues creatives as a whole.

No leeway, no excuses.

Trying to resist deep diving into a project so I did some short sculpting studies using the cc3 neutral basemesh instead #zbrush #3dart #art
