🔞 Ayuna Tomoki Art 🏳️‍⚧️

Well, the time has come. I created a page on Boosty. Link in the next message in the thread. I'll be slowly filling it with content.

Did some preliminary texturing with texture painting in Blender. I also figured out how to create materials, assign different materials to different parts of the mesh, and assign UV maps to them.

Modeled a basic female character today. It went pretty quickly since I’m getting the hang of things and don’t have to keep looking up how to do everything anymore.

Spent today figuring out how to build a rig from scratch. My brain is fried and I’m exhausted, but I think I’m finally starting to understand how it works.

Made this cute little kitty today by following a tutorial! Learned a lot of new things, especially about modifiers - they’re basically black magic! Tomorrow I’m going to learn how to make a custom rig for this cat and animate it!

PS1 version

I spent quite a while working on this model because I wasn’t feeling well, but I think I’ll call it done. I made a ton of mistakes, but now I know what to do (and what not to do) next time. I’ll keep them in mind!

Well, it’s actually looking pretty good!

Spent pretty much the whole day wrestling with UV unwrapping today, but I think I finally got the hang of it. I made the UV map and exported it to Procreate, so now I’m going to paint the texture.

I've been so absorbed in Final Fantasy VIII lately that I decided to make a low-poly Squall model. I drew a turnaround - let's see how it goes. Ideally, I'd love to recreate Squall and Seifer's fight from the opening cinematic

I just made my first low-poly model thanks to @crashsune.bsky.social 's amazing course! Thank you so much, it was incredibly helpful for a beginner like me.

I figured it out! The model was made for a custom Blender build called Goo Engine. Its material used nodes for a bright outline effect, but in the standard version of Blender they caused extreme overexposure.

Any Blender users among my followers? I have a couple of questions. For example, why does this model (not my own) look so blown out in Viewport Shading: Rendered in Blender 5.2? I'm following a YouTube tutorial, and it looks completely normal there, but mine ends up like this.

The flag is a bit too wobbly because I haven't fully wrapped my head around active modifiers yet. Hopefully, I'll be able to make more realistic animations in the future.

Finally, my second Blender project! I followed a tutorial, but I actually managed to remember a few things this time. 😄 I also got a much better understanding of materials, textures, lighting, and animation.

Spent half the day putting together this little scene in Blender! It was my first time using Blender, so it wasn't easy, but I had a lot of fun!

Some photos

I printed out some of my drawings recently. It’s turning into something like a portfolio. If I were to gather absolutely all of them (including the 18+ ones) I could probably even put together a small artbook.

I spent the whole morning drawing boxes)

morning studying

This time I did it faster. It even feels like I'm starting to memorize the anatomy a little.

Since I got laid off and have a lot more free time now, I decided to go back to practicing the fundamentals. For a while, I'll be focusing on basic forms.

This pose turned out to be very challenging because all the muscular 3D models I could find had their arms lowered, and I couldn't figure out what happens anatomically when the arms are raised. Could you please point out my mistakes?

I got fired. Firing me during Pride Month feels pretty homophobic, if you ask me.

I spent the whole day studying the major muscle groups today. I think I even managed to memorize some of them. The arm and leg muscles are still the most confusing to me. Did I draw them correctly? Please let me know if you notice any mistakes.

Some new character sketches

Some new character sketches

Okay, got it - even less than without hashtags

Maybe you guys could help me by reposting this? I really want to become an artist, and to do that, I need to get noticed.

Here I tried to make something like a magazine cover

In a slightly unusual situation, as if at the edge of some pool on a bright midday

This version feels very airy and light

I wanted to try different ways of depicting the character. This one is a bit silly.

And a few more sketches

Some more sketches

I worked a bit on the design of my original character. How did it turn out?

I sketched out this cover for a fictional magazine called Tech Noir this evening) 😎

I finally managed to buy a Caravan SandWitch cartridge for Switch, and the rumors turned out to be true! Look what they put in every box! Stay alert! @sandwitchdev.bsky.social

Evening studies

Afternoon studies

Morning studies

I decided to practice drawing with YouTube lessons again. This time it was a muscular figure. But instead of drawing some guy like in the tutorial, I remembered Noi from Dorohedoro. So I drew her instead.

after today we might actually have to kill all billionares
