Mimikyu Mimicking Trevenant

And Phantump too for consistency.

No new proper Kyusashi art or Rubellyn art this week, folks. Watching some Deltarune content and haven't finished any of the projects I've been working on. Instead have this joke sticker made based on a single frame of a one-off joke. I won't tell you which one!

[rubellynwoolsworth]

Kyusashi Noooooo

falling for the classic blunder, Kyusashi ran into a monster house because of the loot. Alt vers without the foreground effects under the cut

Look at them big ol eye(s?)

I'm kinda taking the fate nobu method of just showing one eye at any given time. So far its worked out. I wanted to add more texture and gradients to the art but the gradients cant really be seen that well

Happy pride from Kyusashi the Valiant!

I was going to have my weekly upload be another premade Kyusashi art but I completely forgot what time of the year it was lmao

[rubellynwoolsworth]

My PMD OC, Kyusashi

Based off of the concept of iron valiant but what if mimikyu tried to mimic a Gallade instead of pikachu

Rambles + extra images under the cut

I know that I've been absent, but again my computer isn't set up so I still can't work on my usual projects yet.

Life forced me to make a tough decision so I responded by joining a pokemon mystery dungeon RP. I've been having fun but I haven't actually written anything yet, I've just been making art and animations of them lmao

I neglected to actually post anything of them in the past like week I've been making art of them so to remedy that I'll be releasing art throughout the course of this week to make it look like I'm active for once in my life.

If you recognize me or Kyusashi from the rp server I joined, hi! you got to see all the fun stuff before I even post it! Lucky!

Trevenant Hoodie Design

I found the pokemon merch surprisingly lacking in goofy hoodies so I designed my own for funsies, shiny version included.

I kinda accidentally made them a gijinka too but such is life. Speaking of, life updates under the cut.

As you could tell, my new drawing tablet/laptop arrived! I'm very happy, it has a million issues with it and its stand is magnetic for some reason.

While I have my complaints about the laptop itself, the thing that made me have to cut this drawing short before I could shade it and stuff was the fact I don't have a chair and my back problems have been flaring up because of it.

Because of those two things, I can't work on any major projects, and all my files are on my computer, which I can't use right now. In the meantime, I'll work on side projects and fanart.

Please wish me luck for the following months while I try to get my life situated.

I vanished again, but this time I have a reason. Here's a drawing

Excuses below the cut

Hi so I actually have a reason for vanishing this time! I'm currently in the middle of a construction zone that is my room and I don't want to haul my PC in and out of said construction zone, so I've been going insane the past few months with no creative outlet.

Fortunately I remembered I can draw traditionally so there's that, but I've been meaning to get back to blender sometime soon and ordered a new drawing computer laptop thing. It didn't come with a stylus so I'm using it for light blender projects for now.

Unfortunately my construction zone of a room has an open wall with loud vents coming out of it so I couldn't record if I wanted to. Because of this, all of my projects are on hold for now. Apologies for the wait.

In the meantime, I'll just have to work on my animating and drawing, hopefully I'll be able to provide more of those as time goes on.

Shader practice: Halftone Shading

Took a break and made a simple halftone shader to learn more about blender shader editor, as usual ramble and additional images under the cut

In a bind right now that involves shading my vtuber avi so to unwind I decided to do something unrelated with the vtuber and just practice some shaders.

I decided to combine what I knew about cel shading and halftones to create this and I'm glad I did because it looks neat. It probably isn't the most optimal shader in the world, but that's fine.

I also took the opportunity to learn more about animation, drivers, and camera background images to make the render video. I like how it turned out! I'll probably showcase other shaders in the future this way.

Good evening, and welcome to the Crystalwool Cafe!

I am Rubellyn Woolsworth, a 3d modeller and a coffee enjoyer. Welcome to my page, this is what you should expect of me going forward under the cut.

I post artwork relating to my projects with 3d modelling and digital art, primarily regarding myself or my lore. I am gearing up to prepare for content creation so apologies if I don't post very often.

[GUIDELINES]

Messages and Q&A are both open for now.

If messaging please state intentions for doing so right off the bat, messages put me on edge and only have them open for questions.

I do not follow back unless I know you or am aware of you enough to do so.

I do not plan on doing commissions at this time.

A friend of mine made their first video and I'm so happy!!!

Drawing reference under the cut + some rambling as usual

I was so excited when they sent the video to me, they did the whole first video in a business week whereas its still taking me years to start mine lol.

I kinda suggested blender as a joke but now they use blender and now I feel bad for suggesting the suboptimal program for free 2d animation.

Its fueling my drive to continue working on content though so expect more content soonish (even though life is haunting me currently)

Rubellyn Vtuber teaser!?!?!

Working on a 3d model of myself, I really like how its turning out so far

Model WIP details under the cut

I'm almost done with the shaders and textures of the model as well as fine-tuning some of the smaller details and of course I have to rig and add blendshapes on top of remaking the shaders in unity. Don't let anyone fool you into thinking making a Vtuber is easy!

It took me over a year to get to this point and I'm super excited to bring it to fruition. As far as the video checklist goes, just need to finish this model and some background drawings and animations.

I also finally got to put my gemstone shader into use after all the progress I put into it! I don't think its perfect by any means but its just enough to start off with.

In terms of video creation there's still a ton to do but I feel like I'm getting just that little bit closer to my goal. Stay tuned! please..

Since my last several-months-ago post, there have been developments at the cafe. I am not the only one working there, as there are other staff to help now.

One such staff member is named Spinetta, a spinel fox waiter who cannot make drinks for the life (death?) of her. Today happens to be her birthday! Happy birthday, Spinetta!

(And no I didn't create a random OC and make their birthday today, the person in the server who created the character had their birthday today earlier than when) Lore updates soon...

[rubellynwoolsworth]

I finally have a design!

There's also a video of the animation.

Ramble under the cut

While I can't upload the gif or anything, here's a quick video of the animation I made for the character. I'll have to work on making my gifs smaller I suppose lol.

I meant to post this on Halloween, but the day and festivities got ahead of me and I didn't get to post sooner.

i've been workshopping the design for roughly half a year now and I think its at a point where I'm confident enough to post it. Its difficult to make any posts and stuff when one hasn't revealed their design yet.

Land of the lustrous styled title card for the gemstone Rubellite

Updated my first post with new and improved gemstone shaders so it actually looks like a gemstone info card from land of the lustrous, and I think it really works with the new material. Do you think its a sufficient enough gemstone shader to work with in future projects, or does it still need some work?

[rubellynwoolsworth]

I made discord reactive icons in the style of PMD portraits. While they aren't my favorite favorite pokemon, I chose dubwool to make the portraits because my vtuber design is partially sheep themed.

I had a gif but tumblr said no so here's these still images instead.

HNK themed Gemstone hair shader (WIP)

Remember the phos gem hair shader I made a few weeks ago? wait, that was several months ago? Anyways I made a new gemstone hair shader in blender. Ramble under the cut.

I admittedly wandered away from the HNK appearance to focus on a more gemstone look and I kinda like the effect thus far. There are some key parts I kind of want to take a look at and highlight so to speak with the current shader.

While there is a fresnel and a cel shading effect, I don't really know how well it applied. Another aspect I added was the bevel around the edges of the hair to give it depth it desperately needed due to how the multiple voronoi textures cluttered the look. Since the bevel required me to UV unwrap the hair, I decided to also add lines to the hair to make it moreso resemble, well, hair. The bevel effect is also why I used a different hairstyle to Phos's hairstyle, partially out of having already applied the effect to this hair first, and partially to show the bevel more clearly. The bevel in particular was something I've wanted to add to the hair since the last shader I made since the edges kinda looked too plain in the last shader.

If you recognize the crystal effect, I used the same method from my stained glass gengar shader, just a little bit more complicated since there's three to four layers of voronoi. It all comes together to create what I think is a pretty neat effect where it appears see-through to some extent.

Now, I used a kinda old method for the cel shading so it has a similar problem to the prior shader to which it doesn't react to changes in lighting, but I think that'll be a quicker fix. Also it appears to have an unintended side effect where the bevels glow in the dark so I'll have to fix that too, but overall its a good start.

Opaque Stained glass texture(?) + glass Gengar

Ramble + video of how the material looks in motion under the cut

Good evening, apologies for vanishing for... five months. I've still been trying to make a good opaque gemstone shader/material and unfortunately it's still a work in progress due to life factors. On the plus side, I managed to make a texture that resembles stained glass, so that's progress!

The shader all around needs a lot of work I think, but for a quick setup I made in like a few hours before an appointment, I'm happy with it. The goal was mostly to make it feel as if it were translucent while still being entirely opaque, which really is somewhat case-by-case when it comes to what object its applied to (like the Scarlet/Violet gengar model above)

Granted, I messed with a few of the values in order to make the highlights shine more, so that might be detracting from the translucent effect ever so slightly. While I don't think I'll be using the shader as-is in my future projects, I will keep it in mind when making future gemstone-related materials.

Here's the gengar with a less bright center fresnel, making it more similar to the red shaders above.
