#cap's 3d modelling shenanigans

[midnight--capricorn]

Ok I swear this will be the last forsyth 3d model post I am very proud of him though

Like, some areas could be better, but for what it's worth he's actually pretty good

Also because I can:

[ndnp-art-ct3]

Alexander & Todd Patterson, Rob Fletcher, and Sal Lester are who I'd call the main characters. They all live in a house together in the town of Westerfield.

Extra character info under the cut!

i'll, uh... i'll try to be brief here

Alex is a magical being who bears his initials on his torso. He spends most of his time practicing wizardry, talking to/making friends, and baking cakes.

Todd is a sentient hat sitting atop Alex's head, made out of the same magic that Alex was made out of. The two are brothers, and they've been together since creation. Inside, Todd houses an infinite pocket dimension that he has the ability to control. Effectively, he is that pocket dimension, and his hat body is just how he affects the world outside of it.

Rob is a red stick figure guy who's best friends with Alex. He typically gets roped into the weird shenanigans that Alex gets into, whether he likes it or not. Usually not. Alex usually feels guilty about it.

Sal is both Rob's friend, and Alex's boyfriend. In contrast to Alex, he's very introverted and shy, and in contrast to Rob, he hates any sort of confrontation. He also happens to be a gray shapeshifter.

by the way, i can and will elaborate on characters and lore if anyone asks because i fucking love talking about my silly guys

---

So like... I have both "2D art" and "3D art" in the tags.

Alex has a 3d model of him, and that 3D model is used as a reference to draw him in a 2D art program. (Specifically, paint.net)

Rob is almost completely drawn in 2D, but I have his cap modelled out for reference.

And Sal is just entirely 3D modelled.

free alex for you

Huey (rant invitation)

When Port Prisma got the paint stars stolen from the fountain, Huey was what emerged from the fountain's emergency system. He introduced himself by saying "let's get burgers, your treat" before letting Mario drain his color in order to fight off a stray shy guy in the town. At the ends of the game, after everything theyve been thru, Huey thanks Mario just before the final battle, and then in the battle turns himself into a card to become a solid object again, which made it go full circle. As the guardian of the paint fountain in Port Prisma, he realized his job wasnt to get the paint stars, but to get rid of the black paint that Bowser inadvertantly created. He told the others he would be right behind them as they escaped the castle, which was a lie, and proceeded to squeeze the paint out of the *entire castle*.

He's never seen the ocean before, but he loves it.

He's never been to a circus but he was so excited to go.

He's bad in front of crowds. (He tried a tin can impression and no one liked it [i liked it], said it would kill back at the recycling plant which?? Are there other living inanimate objects like Huey??? Hello?????)

He "speaks Draggadon" but he hasnt used it since college and his Draggadon speak is just SIMPLE SENTENCES IN ALL CAPS. (He also told the Draggadon "WE LOVE YOU.")

He's been to college, apparently.

He loves paint and values friendship.

He called shenanigans when the giant coin in the Mondo Woods was only worth one coin upon being picked up.

He was excited to see the fossil at the excavation site and told Mario to go ahead, he'd catch up.

He started a "if anything happens i will protect you" speech just before a chain chomp rolled in out of nowhere and interrupted him (i guess that was foreshadowing, looking back).

He steams and whistles like a tea kettle when he's mad.

He finds Toads adorable but also mumbled to Mario "Why can't we ever meet anyone normal?" upon meeting the lighthouse Toad.

His 3D model uses more triangles than the entirety of Super Mario 64.

He can smell paint stars (the green ones smell "minty fresh", apparently).

He wanted to fight at the coliseum but realized Mario would be the one doing the fighting and sounded it a bit disappointed. (Now thst i think abt it, they could very much have called it "The Colorseum". Missed opportunity.)

He makes bad paint puns and tries to use one to add levity to the situation after the battle with Kamek.

Mario had to whack him with a hammer several times (only once did he get truly upset abt it, in which case he was freaking out abt i mini goomba stuck on his back and Mario really had no choice ["You BETTER not have dented my can, fur face" will live rent free in my memory forever.])

His handles come apart which is something ive never seen a bucket or paint can be able to do but clearly it was solely so they could give him an equivalent to hands because he can clap and "dance".

He absorbed Bowser's black paint at Sunglow Ridge and told Mario to close his eyes and "never speak of this again" (i guess thst was foreshadowing too huh).

His little mask thing changes colors based on his emotions.

He sank into quicksand once and i panicked and when I finally got to him the game said "Huey's not breathing!" but we whacked him with the hammer and he was fine, just full of sand and stating that it's a good thing paint cans dont need to breathe.

Clearly has a sense of fairness, called out the scam at Bloo Bay Beach and got mad when the "legendary mountain sage" turned out to be a cardboard cutout.

Saved Mario from falling in lava and shouted "I got you, bud!"

If you lose a boss battle without the right Thing card he'll pop up on the game over screen and tell you.

He's so encouraging and cheerful, lots of times he cheered Mario on when he was struggling, including in the boss battle.

Apologized for forcing Mario to come with him to recover the paint stars which no, he didn't, Peach told Mario to go and Mario always listens to Peach because he loves her. Plus Mario's a hero and he'll always do what's right for the greater good but now that i think about it probably does need a break.

Thinks the Toad Rescue Squad scarves are "choice".

Wants to buy Birdo's album.

Thats all i got rn and already i know it's a lot so here ya go jdbsndbdb-
