taking on Alucard in a Ghoul-killing contest when you're just a rank-and-file soldier (and a bratty one at that) tends to have consequences

“Ellis didn’t talk to anyone for weeks after Lottie died.

I overheard Aunt Rosie and Uncle Scott contemplate sending them to a therapist, but I told them that was a horrible idea.

I tried to make my visits more frequent.

I knew that the first person Ellis was going to talk to was going to after this would’ve either been me or the devil himself.”

Nettle Redesign! When she's in her teens (15-ish or something like that).

I really like @dashintrash 's designs of Nettle when she's a toddler, so that would explain the overalls, striped trousers, and an overall similar colour palette.

Shading and rendering go brrrrr

So after over TWO WHOLE MONTHS (dead motivation go brrrrr) I finally finish this rendered character sheet of Bloodmoon I started because I was listening to Living Dead Girl by Rob Zombie. This was my first time actually rendering and it kinda maybe sucks, but I think it looks good so whatever (btw drawing this guy while listening to ICP is an experience)

Some people have been interested in how this was made - I am extremely bad at explaining but I’ll try to give a quick rundown!

First I draw the individual parts in a 2d art program, in this case procreate. I put an overlay texture that gives it some grittiness. As you can see I separated out the parts I planned to move a little bit, like the top and bottom jaw, eyes, wings, and body segments.

Each part of the texture is applied to a 2d plane through uv maps with the exception of the halo, which is 3d modeled.

The 2d planes are layered in a way that will create shadow when a light is added and avoid overlaps when rendered. This also really lends to the papercut aspect!

Animation for this particular piece is done through something called “shape keys” where blender will interpolate movement based on me slightly moving the individual parts.

I created several keys for different areas of motion. When all are combined it creates a nice effect. Some parts move smoother than others - this is due to me setting some keys to be “constant” instead of “bezier smoothed”.

(Oh also the halo is just rotated on an axis - 3d go brrrrr)

After rendering all the frames into a gif, I then threw it into a video editor to make the colors more contrasted and to add slight glitching and behold! Final product!

Hopefully that helps out some for people who want to try it. Or for people who are just curious!

Month 8, day 6

MUAHAHAHA, I figured out how to get my GPUs to work with Blender! Just had to turn off a few incompatible settings and then wait patiently for it to figure itself out lol My stuff renders so fast now, y'all!

Anyway, today I remade the blue marble material that I had before The Great Kablooie, and then just to "stress test" the graphics cards I re-rendered the glass I made yesterday using the Cycles render engine at 500 samples, as opposed to the 50 that I've been doing with all my previous renders

Yesterday rendering that exact same glass material in Cycles at 50 samples would have taken 37 minutes and change. Today with the GPUs in Cycles at 500 samples it took 12 minutes.

So yeah! I'm so happy rn :D Tbh the only reason I did any digging to find out what I need to do to use my GPUs was because my roommate let me know that the local community college is gonna be putting up some 2017 5K iMacs used by their graphic design department up for auction, and I was looking to see if the graphics cards in that model are compatible with Metal (I don't really understand what that is so I can't explain it, sorry), which they are! But in so digging I finally figured out how to read the website I was using to see the capabilities of the various graphics cards, and lo! My GPUs are also Metal compatible. So I did some digging and fiddling and experimenting and found out there's render settings that won't work with the Metal framework (smarter computer people than me know what that is, I promise), so I turned those off, switched to the GPUs and Metal, and...

Waited. Because apparently something had to be recalculated to work with the GPUs rather than the CPU. Waited so long I knew if I tried to do literally anything Blender would crash, and while I was looking to see what I had missed (nothing), it finished doing its thing and JESUS FUCK IT GOES SO FAST NOW. SO FAST. GPU RENDERING GO BRRRRR :D

So yeah, my computer is beefier than I realized, I am now somewhat less of an idiot, and also I might get a newer, more powerful machine if I can get lucky with the auction :D Part of me feels bad about wanting to replace Hera so soon, but upgrading her would be more expensive than the auctioned iMac and I need a machine with more oomph than she can provide anyway. I love her, she's perfect for everyday work. Just... not for 3D modeling and animation lol

To be fair the iMac also wouldn't be perfect, but it would be a lot closer. One day I will be able to afford the perfect machine, though. One day. Or so I keep telling myself XD

Kay is SO fun to draw I love her <33
