#nimbly

yeah sure! I started this one like September of last year and then I didn't like how it was turning out and abandoned it. But I think I'll revisit it one day cause I like the idea.

Here's a couple of sketches too. He's high and beat to shit but he'll be fine, probably.

Working on a remake of my S/O's old drawing in 3d. (og drawing seen above)

First I had to make the character which took some work, most of the hard parts were during rigging. Might touch him up before I move onto the final step. Forgot to mention, but this character is Nimbly, created years ago by my S/O as something she could doodle in a cute traditional style. At one point there was an intention to do more with this character and some of that might still happen so i wont spoil any lore just in case. But just know i love this character, hence my attempt to recreate him.

I originally aimed to copy the exact room from the og drawing and here is my attempt at that with the rough modeling pass. S/O stepped in around here, she would rather have the room more fully fleshed out. One of the reasons i decided to do this recreation is to hopefully give my S/O the inspiration to draw Nimbly some more. All of her drawing of him just bring me so much joy, and talking about the world and characters surrounding him were always a blast.

First pass of texturing, had to move some things around to fit the new camera. The room still feels a bit bare here, and there are still untextured hero books that'll move in the final animation. added that massive spider web based off another character from the world that was thought up long after the original drawing was made, though in later versions a shrink the web as it is a bit huge here.

Second to final pass of texturing here, added some barrels and a top left shelf, just trying to fill out space a bit. The hero books are textured and the book that will be picked up and used has actual pages rigged and animatable. I like how the candles turned out, i have them setup on a loop so they animate like flame, though they are just little bits of geo with an emission shader on them. they look pretty good i think.

Nimbly in The NeverEnding Story 2:

I just had to do this small skit because I hate Nimbly and I figured out how to use my headset microphone via laptop.

Also I decided to draw Barret Oliver's Bastian instead of Jonathan Brandis because eh..

And here's NES2 since I just recently finished compiling some scenes which I think is meme worthy.
