#odd hobbies

I left my rotbox open cause I had to stop working on it amd now its frozen..

Here's the progress I have so far on my Andalite concept. I have most of the neck and head done, but obviously I still have to do the eyes and I'm still undecided as far as Andalite ears go. But you can definitely see the insect influence in the face (which will likely tone down some when I get to fur simulation, but since that's kind of a process, that will be awhile.)

I have to say I was really pleased with the organic gas mask. I’m still liking the idea of having two proto-lungs in the elongated neck, but I’m not sure if I’m totally sold on the segmented part... My thought was that it would look a bit more moth-like, but I’m on the fence about it. I might test some breathing animations and maybe do a test render with fur and see how it looks.

First in my collection is

The Crime Scene Shitter

Ridiculous Hero Forge update: (my experience with it not as in the site updated, it does though)

So I've been practicing learning the parts of the site I found overwhelming before - the face customizer and kit bashing. Both are quite fun once you dive in.

I have found that kitbashing clothes and hair are the most interesting aspects, but hair is very fiddly and time-intensive. There's a lot of really great hair-kitbash uploads though. (Omg the hair kitbash uploaders and clothes kitbash uploaders are amaaaazing.)

Right here I have a shrunken "retro skirt" to serve as bell bottoms, but I haven't appropriately sized it to the leg. I got to that point and saved it to come back. I do that with a lot of uploads. Sometimes I'll find a paint swatch or discover a method that'll help with something I had in progress.

Also working on mermaids having some kind of thing at the point of their bodies that go from human to fish as heroforge has clothes for that but no bubble thing like '89 Ariel or the ruffle fin thing like '23 Ariel. I think I should just suggest some merfolk body divider things (whatever it would be called) for flavor as so far kitbashing rhis aspect is time intensive. Also, why no scales decals? I made a Rainbow Fish inspired merfolk but it really needs scales.

Also learning poses. I like doing really detailed but mundane APRs (advanced pose reference) for character things or "scenes"
