I have taken your advice and spent a bit on my new skin and model! It helped me very much, and I have to thank you for your advice and inspiration to try block bench modelling for the first time to make a cool character for me :3

I also animated a tail wag when I crouch!

This is definitely a new art form I will be doing more

oh dude holy shit!!! this is so cool wtf!!! i love how you did the tail so much my gosh

[sojrner-fishsticcc]

your work actually inspired me to learn blockbench myself!!

i jus wanted to thank you since it's the most fun i've had making something for a long time :3

oh my gosh that's actually so rad!!!!! holy shit!!!!!! i'm so happy to hear i actually managed to inspire someone else to get into this too awawawawawa!!!! i hope it goes really well for you girl!!!!!!

mc sybil pseudoregalia rigging!

lil bit of progress on my sybil model! all of the modeling is finished, meaning she has 8 different outfits from the game which took DAYS to make. but i'm finally able to work on getting her running in-game! usually i barely touch more complicated animation stuff but oh my gosh i am having so much fun with this. here's just one lil piece of that with this sitting anim! that's all for tonight! goodnight weird people!

mc model of sybil from pseudoregalia!

oh hell yeah finally something that isn't a c//mm!!! i haven't made any personal projects like this in quite a while, n i've been meaning to make sybil for months and i'm SO happy with how well she came out. i actually modeled her abt a week ago with just her base outfit n accessories but just never posted her here, but now that i modeled her sweater i figured i should share her! so so happy with how every part of her came out. i'm really happy with how i captured her silhouette without coming off as being overly sexualized, her tail n baton are so simple but they work so so well, and her FACE oh my gosh it came out so good!!! awawa i may post her again in the future when i make more of her outfits n when i rig her in-game, cos i may try fully animating her to match her movement in pseudoregalia instead of leaving her animations all the same.

that's all for now!!! goodnight weird people!!

finished model c//mm for @/tuckatk on discord!

and the final c//mm for this current pool! i was expecting this one to be a much lighter lil project after the heavier ones earlier in this pool, and this guy was an absolute pleasure to model! he has a sweet lil color palette, and texturing up the armor and quiver was a really nice lil exercise. overall this guy was a really nice lil way to round out my current pool. and that's all of my c//mm projects for april! thank you so much to everyone for participating and funding my art! my c//mms will be reopening on may 1st, if you're interested in snagging one! that's everything for now! goodnight weird people!

[sojrner-fishsticcc]

getting asks abt my modeling and texturing is so cool. like "hi yes can you tell me abt your skills and hyperfixations" like yes!!!! holy shit what!!!!! sit down this'll be a while awawawawa

[sojrner-fishsticcc]

Haiiiii

I love ur work so much omg

I just came across ur stuff on my dash

How do you practice pixel art? I have tried makin fur on my mc skin but it never works well

oh hi!!! first of all, a lot of my work is through just... doin it a lot. i've been doing modeling n texturing for a lil over a year now so i have a lot of practice with it. but i can give you a few lil tips! there's basically 2 mistakes i see a lot of beginners make, and that's using noise and not hue-shifting their palettes.

noise is a way to add randomness to textures by randomly makin pixels darker and lighter. uhh... do not do this. noise tends to look messy and disorganized, i'd *highly* recommend you do your coloring by hand/paw (whichever you have!) with your own color palette. below is two versions of a basic skin, just the front of a torso with grey fur and a white chest. the left version is done with noise, the second is done manually.

doin things manually adds SO much detail to your texturing. it helps things feel more cohesive by giving it order. there are a lot of lil things i've picked up with how i texture that are just things i've learned through practice. try this out! try different patterns and see if you like how they look. if you look closely at my texturing you can see a *lot* of little repeats with how things are textured.

hue-shifting is basically addin some color - or 'hue' - to your palettes! this is another thing noise does poorly- noise tools usually just make things straight up darker or lighter which looks really boring! here's an example with the palettes i just used. my palettes use 5 colors, but you can use as many as you like. on the left are the ones the skin already used, they just get directly darker or lighter. the ones on the right add some hue in there! the creamy tones for the chest use start dark with an orange hue but shift towards yellow as they get brighter, and the darker fur goes from almost purple light blue. hue shifting adds a LOT of flavor to texturing, add a lil more than you think you need- you can always tone it down later.

and here's how those colors work on that example from earlier!

mwah! this isn't perfect, it's just a quick example i threw together for a test, but it's a big improvement! as one last lil tip specifically for mc skins- USE DETAIL LAYERS!!! those are the layers that hover just above the skin. they can add a wonderful amount of depth to your texture work. avoid using them in little random dots because it can make the texture look messy- try grouping them together in patches to make things feel more connected. as for other stuff- follow tutorials! this is a very brief lil explanation of some of the biggest mistakes i see, but there's so much more material online! one of my fav texture artists Jingles makes really wonderful vanilla skin stuff, and teaches a lot of similar stuff to this! the biggest thing you can do to improve your art, no matter the medium, is to practice!!! do it a lot!!! i have a lot of experience with this because i do it a lot, and i've picked up a lot of lil things with time. awawa apologies for this being sorta scattered n all over the place! in the future i ought to make some proper tutorials to direct people too, but i hope this helps for now! i wish you a lot of luck on your modeling journey!!! awooo!!!

finished model c//mm for @/rem93VR on twitter!

one more c//mm!!! i'm genuinely so so happy with how this one came out, their palette was already GORGEOUS but they were just so much fun to work on. i've been so happy with how this c//mm pool's been going, i really feel like all of these have been my best work yet, and there's still one more to come! sorry for only posting c//mm work lately! i've not been feeling like working on personal models of preexisting characters like loona or moxxie cos i've been quite busy irl, and c//mms are a lot easier for me to just open and work one without having to think as much x//3 that's all for now! goodnight weird people!

[sojrner-fishsticcc]

Hey, I really love your work, and it's inspired me to try making a custom player model of my own. If you don't mind me asking, how do you rig the player models to work in game?

oh hell yeah!!! the rigging for in-game stuff is done using a mod called Customizable Player Models, it's available for basically every mod loader and version of the game. it has its own built-in modeling tools but i'd recommend modeling and texturing in blockbench and just using CPM for the ingame stuff. it's a lil daunting to use, but CPM has a discord with a lot of lovely people who can totally help walk you through the process (including me! i'm really active there!) makin your own model is cool as hell, but it's def a lil difficult to get started without the help of someone who's done it before. good luck with your modeling journey!!!

no download yet, sadly :,3 i've been meaning to set up a full shop on ko-fi for my premade models n accessories but i've been putting that project off for quite a while.

pirate coat accessory!

yeah!!! made another lil accessory!!! this was really really simple and fun to put together, and i'm so happy with how many little details like the ruffles and the buttons on the lower coat came out. planning to make some hats and other pirate/nautical themed accessories soon because i'm taking part in a pirate themed modded smp that's gonna be rad as hell!!

[sojrner-fishsticcc]

oh the eyes are really easy! they're a flat 8x8 sheet put like 0.01 pixels in front of the face so they don't clip, and set to per-face uv with all the sides but the front face removed, and the front's uv being set to be 16x16 so its exactly twice the res. you could do any scaling you'd like there but i prefer it being exactly double :3

moxxie model from helluvaboss!

yeahhhhh finally made the little husband man!!!!! i've been procrastinating continuing the hb line for a lil while, + i've been burnt out from modeling so i dropped it for a while, but i'm back! and i made the lil guy! i'm so so happy with how he came out! he looks so nervous in this lil pose ahhhhh i absolutely love him :] he used a similar color palette and anatomy to millie which made it easy to come back n make him. his palette is the same as hers + 6 extra colors: 4 shades of navy for the jacket n 2 deeper shades of white for the hair, since millie used only 3 shades bcos she has very few white spots. also reused the same render background as her because theyre like a couple! its nice! but also because i'm vv lazy and don't want to make a new one. i am so so excited to do some stuff with this model. i GOTTA pose him n millie holding hands. giving him a lil blush would be cute as fuck, i'm so excited for that. also gonna hopefully make blitzo soon! i rlly want to get the main 4 cast out for halloween, and hopefully FINALLY get my store set up for that so ppl have access to them for spooky month. might make another model or two before that though, but i feel like i'm on a solid push to make some more models rn while i have some time away from school cos of health stuff. anyway!!! that's all for tonight, goodnight weird people!!!!!!

finished model c//mm for @/hn3x_ on twitter!

second one down! not a lot to say for this one, this was a fairly straightforward n simple model cos it uses the vanilla base. one lil detail is the cream color for the fur actually uses 7 tones instead of my usual 5 to get some extra darkness for the hair n outer parts of the body. that's all for now! two more c//mms to be finished soon, and hoping to reopen em in early april. goodnight weird people!

ice helps with cooling...so why not bathe in it when you connect?
