Turnaround for Kitna. Working on adding physics and more to her rig.
Anonymous asked: Have you ever heard of/played Valkyria Chronicles?
Sorry, I’m not familiar with that title. I mostly play Harvest Moon, Mario, Smite, Borderlands, and recently Paladins.
Hmm, what if my characters had transformations along their journey. Like how Digimon digivolve and magical girls become garment girls? I’m worried it might be a bit too much on the “magic” side of things, considering I don’t want to have a heavy “magic” influence.
Added the face and body to Kitna, going to add more hair and more motion to her next!
Some doodles from yesterday’s stream!
Imported the head to After Effects. Adding the face to it, then I’ll finish up the turnaround I worked on during stream today. Everything’s going pretty smoothly!
Patreon colored requests from August+September. The way I’ve been doing it is if you’re in my Stream Tier ($10/mo) and I skip a month, you get one request but colored instead of the two sketches.
Progress is being made! 3D is hard ;-;
So far I’ve been disappointed with many of the animated Kickstarter campaigns. Long Gone Gulch and The Reward probably are the two best campaigns I’ve seen. Back to doing more research!
darnelg asked: What sort of technology does this story have going for it? Is it strictly "Pirates of the Caribbean" style? You said fantasy and that's where my mind went.
Currently, the limit of technology is fueled by crystals that emit heat energy. They appear as glowing quartz crystals. Those crystals are unique to this world and are mined in Dandnar, which are traded/stolen to the point where each region has access to them. The crystals can be depleted of energy like batteries, so they must be mined constantly. They grow at an accelerated rate to other minerals which allows them to be replaced without much effort.
As far as actual technology that uses these batteries, simple appliances like heated baths, stoves, and ovens are primarily the luxuries. The crystal batteries can also charge-up held items like weapons and tools. So axes chop harder, swords slash faster, ect. (Like in Harvest Moon games). The batteries have a limited supply of energy, so charged attacks are used sparingly or if there are other batteries to replace the expired ones.
