I made a video of my process crafting some creatures of our game Alterfauna✨
I'm using watercolor and colored pencils, my scanner (aka my best friend), Photoshop and Spine
(sorry for the 1rst part's bad quality, I filmed with my shitty phone, I work at night and the light is horrible)

It's my birthday! 🎉
And I haven't shown my side project in a while!
🌊 Can now play a level with waves of enemies
🤖 Order turrets
📈 Upgrade system is more fleshed out
Some abilities trigger contextually while others are manually triggered (in video you can place acid pools)

Alright, stop. BEVEL TIME.
The bevel shader can be used with creases too! You can get all the advantages of high poly subdiv without needing to use support loops and still use the bevel shader in one time-saving package. Let's hammer out the details with @marmoset3d.bsky.social Toolbag

Loved Guillermo del Toro’s version of Frankenstein. And obviously had to paint Jacob Elordi, especially after seeing the hours he spent in make up.
Stunning and beautiful film.
