Elijah's self-indulgent art thread and shenanigan shack

There’s some mean guy in charge who keeps telling Elijah he has to censor the art to hide stuff that’s not in-game yet before it gets shared. Man that guy is the worst.

Don’t listen to him! He’s just covering for me because i like to write embarrassing motivational notes to the dev team in the margins. Here’s the totally not altered or doctored in any way 30 seconds ago uncensored original

Employee of the month @Elijah_W :smiley:

I have missed so much of this incredible thread and I just got all caught up!

@Elijah_W You are one talent’d Mamma Jamma. Gotta say as a 3-D Artist myself, It fills my heart with such joy to see Blender in all it’s open-source majesty. I’d personally love to see more of the 3-D work but all these concepts and WIP are pure eye candy as well!

Keep up the fantastic work!

Are you as hyped as I am for blender 2.8? Between that and godot 3.0, 2018 is gonna be a -uh-mazing- year for open source.

I’m stoked for it! I knew about Godot 2.0 when I was going to school but I didn’t know 3 is already that close! Blenders my go to modeling practice app, I almost even used it on a TV show where I was working as a 3-D Artist. Had to do torrents of blood coming from a guys arms, and I’ve loved Blenders fluid system since 2.49. Luckily Bi-frost on Maya can do some crazy stuff too!

Oh boy oh boy… It’s a special, special day today. I’ve finally got the all clear to post some of the more recent stuff that I’ve been hyper excited about. There’s only a small batch to start, but I’ve chopped it up into bite sized chunks so I can string y’all along for a bit >:D

Let’s get started then!

In hindsight, I don’t think an entity made from water would have a bellybutton.

That’s an awesome looking character! I’m excited to see the water-hair-tendrils after they’re animated and all Davy Jones-y! Maybe for the bellybutton dilemma you could have a Pearl or a Sea Shell actually floating inside the character in the position of a bellybutton. Could even be a weak point if these are gonna be an enemy type as well. No good shooting an arrow into a bunch of water that resembles a head but a physical weak point would make sense.

Q: Is monday madness still monday madness if it’s totally predictable?

Here’s another NPC from that batch, more to come soon. I love how smarmy this guy looks.

He is rather swarmy :smile: looks great!

I have a question. Did you design the swords? They look awesome, but they’re really flat. Is there any way to make them a little beefier? It feels great to swing a chaotic blade into the face of a cactaur. If the swords were a little thicker I think they’d look/feel heavier and have the “oomph” hard hitting chaotic slashes it’s lacking. Design wise I love how diverse and stylized they are

Nah, I didn’t design those. Good thing too, cause If I had, they’d probably all just be straight up rip-offs of ganons sword from windwaker with palette swaps. My visual library for fantasy weapons needs work :stuck_out_tongue:

Edit: i think i meant twilight princess? I actually don’t know. The one he had in smash bros, I think. I love that thing.

Also, rando open question for anyone who stumbles into this thread and cooks:

How the fudge do I get the smell of garlic off my hands after chopping it? It’s been a day and a half with vigorous scrubbing and I’ve still got nasty garlic fingers!

Haha nothing wrong with that :stuck_out_tongue: I hope dyes are added. I love color options even if the overall design/model is the same

Stainless steel. Yep sounds silly, but it works.

Awesome artworks! Loving em… and I usually am into Japanese anime/manga style drawings…

This hits the right buttons for me when it comes to aesthetics!

Well, apparently when i said ‘brb’ I meant ‘in a month’ :stuck_out_tongue:

I guess I’ll drop a double dose today since I’ve been absent so long. There were two more npc’s in the set i was posting before i mysteriously vanished, so here they are:

As a side note, today is noteworthy in the most underwhelming way possible: I’ve officially completely filled up the notebook I use to keep track of all things orbus. I’ve been using this one since last november, so it feels like some kind of accomplishment, to be sure.
