Krample

The most important part of the character.... WIP WIP almost done |･ω･)

Beakz

Tail expressitivitivity

Schlorp

A plethora of tunics. Tunicae? Or maybe they're gambesons, really, what do I know... Color tintable and super snug, time to hammer out a few more skin variants!

The latest Orange Nova, Noatun Nevrean is out! Check it out at Abnormality! @abnormality.is I textured her like the other mods I've done of my OC. She's just a lot of fun to try different species haha.

Wrapping up the lowpoly

It has been ten thousand years, but now the Noatun Nevrean is completed - despite everything - and I am incredibly excited to share these adorable avid avians with all of you! They will be released for SL at Abnormality, Aug 7th. VRC port coming very soon, as well!

Some friends asked - my workflow for shading is pretty basic, there's no trick to it. I do a super crude AO bake from the lowpoly onto the lowpoly, and then I just start painting. It'd be better to have a sculpt, but I like painting. Hair is still a WIP, but it'll get there!

Home stretch. Just need a lower body and hair pass!

Regal trimming in progress

Less than four weeks until release

Chickenbutts are hard to paint 庭に二羽鶏がいる

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

Eaaah! Chibified horn and face, just to put the excess points into STR, I love him!!! 💘

Painting shading, WIP

Chickenfeet....

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

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!

Facial rigging commences

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.

Halfway through retopology, got dang it's a lot of nitpick

Low(er) poly hair blockout. Pretty happy with the silhouettes, but the nape needs some work

Only hair, cheeks, and maw internals now, and then there's just... everything else left to do!

I feel this way of doing fluff really clicked for me! Although it's more work, once I'm done welding the neck feathers and detailing the crotch, I really want to go back to the back of the legs and tail and redo them with this new workflow, they look blobby by comparison now. :(

This is so much work, but I abhor having mesh seams all over the place

The goat...

Attending my first ever con 🤓

Wew lad

In 10 000 years when I'm done with this it's so over for you guys

Half the poly budget used up, 32k starting to look sweaty....

Flow state insanity

Someone get me on Shark Tank, I'm gonna be rich!

Testing silhouettes in Second Life

WIP of something completely normal

No plan, no process, brain empty, just extrude, smooth, extrude, smooth

Extremely quick and furious art test, done across 3 evenings or so

Yeah I'm an artist all right

Rainbow Okapi for Ragu

VRC Fenra Release! It's been a decade in the making, but I just wrapped up the Fenra avatar I have been working on, and pushed it up on Gumroad; krample.gumroad.com/l/zolcs It is a very vibrant and complex avatar, and I am very proud of it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=27Ne... Please check it out >:o
