Reposting an old classic from Twitter, back when I was toying with JRPG things. Forever and always, he's always here. 🏖🦁🎶 #lowpoly

At long last, the rig is done. I can finally rest. I'm FREE. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XokW8GqiS_c

There was one fatal bug in 3dsmax 2015 that was preventing me from working on my rig - any attempt to use the Reaction Manager would result in a hard crash. This is no longer an issue, thank christ. Why did I take so long to upgrade lol

I've upgraded my modelling programs for the first time in five years, and man. What a difference five years makes. It's like everything I was already deeply familiar with, but shinier, and it doesn't feel like it's going to crash at any second.

Iiii want to make a game for Playdate. I went from "how the hell can that crank be used for anything" to "I have twenty ideas and can't be stopped" in mere minutes.

Usually I'd unwrap and texture before moving onto rigging, but I have so many other models to texture after this. I wanna try and set everything up so that once I start texturing, I don't ever have to break my workflow.

All modeled up! I gotta think about bones and rigs next

Hands are hell to make in any medium imo, so this is more or less the equivalent to building an art board for reference material

Y'ever just chop off some arms for research?

Tbh I might simplify the mouth even further and replace it with a simple texture, see how I feel about it later

Real low-poly hours up in here

Most of this head was done in a few hours last night, while tonight was all about that little tuft of hair across the top. The tuft took way longer than I'd like to admit, but I'm satisfied with the result.

Somehow, that little tuft of hair took the most time to figure out, and it's still only kinda what I'm looking for. I'll have to just experiment with it when I'm modelling it proper.
