I can has tutu?


Britt's so awesome. We dinked around with ways to make teeny little tutus, and when I called it a night she just went on a chugging. We started with 36 bears needing tutus and when I came up this morning only like... 10 remained.

Movin' right along

I started texturing the wife. I'm particularly fond of the boils.




and Buford in his "WHY AREN'T YOU FINISHED YET?!" state. I just noticed he's got bumps in places he shouldn't and is missing them in places he should.

total win on my part.





...we are so not going to get this done. :(

A few days absence

While I didn't actually make this model, I've basically gone through and recreated it. Man, who knew going through a model and removing unnecessary polygons would A) take so much time B) be so frustrating. But yes, she's at 5998 polys (dress/hair/eye/everything). She was originally twice that at JUST the body.

Buford (fat guy) is less than that. O_o And he has legs and a couple of unnecessary polys of his own. Also... hair is obnoxious.


Been working on my demo reel over most of the past few days. It's all done but for some sound syncing, and I've got to do that at school. McDonnell suggest that I enter one of the animated storyboards into Artimation! I'd basically given up on ever getting anything into Artimation, who knew it'd be something I scrambled to make to have something in my demo reel! :D

Movin' right along

Taking a bit of a break from Buford for the moment, and started working on the next character model, the wife/female zombie. I did NOT model the character's body (I've just been going through and cleaning her up) I DID model the dress and am starting on the hair.

Tomorrow, Monday, and Tuesday are dedicated to my blasted demo reel. ::falls over::


Adsam's culture

Adsam came to me in a bit of a dream. He and his litter-mate, Ipsim, were teamed up with a human soldier to scout out a planet for enemy hide-outs. While on the their search they stumble across what that planet uses for water. In the middle of this body of water they notice a body that's managed to sink itself into the murky depths. Adsam is sent into the water to retrieve it, and when he surfaces with his prize he claimed to not feel very well. Over the course of their traipse back Adsam starts to act strange, then he turns all out feral and abandons the team. They spent the rest of their time on edge since the hostile planet has a highly trained and heavily rabid soldier let loose upon it)

The next time they see him, which was considerably later, he's sitting atop a large rock or boulder located in the aforementioned body of water. He stripped down to his under armor and is cold and wet and shivering. The human convinces Adsam to return to them, and that's about where the dream ended.

Of course I don't want Adsam to go feral on us, so I changed that bit. Otherwise he's pretty much the same.

More thoughts on his appearance:
I see his physical body being not unlike Lynx, only with a little bit of Turian mixed in for extra seasoning. His fur would be short on some areas (face and most of his body) and long and soft on others (all the areas that humans tend to grow hair ie, head, groin, jaw). I'm debating whether his claws would sit on his fingers like human nails do or if they'd retract slightly.

More on Ipsim:
Ipsim would be the oldest and biggest from her litter. She's more dominant that Adsam and is better able to adapt to "on-the-fly" situations. She's the senior officer in their troop (the one from the dream) and often butted heads with the human.

He's the 4'th in a litter of 5. The others (in order of birth) are:
Ipsim (soldier)- gray like her mother
Illiam (scholar)-gray
Absun (religion)-dull brown
Adsam (soldier)-gray
Undil (scholar)-Red like his father

More on his customs:
When I refer to his "culture" I mean his community/town/city.

I don't see his culture really having a word for "sister" or "brother" or even "Mom" and "Dad." It would be more like "Female Litter-Mate," "Male Litter-Mate," "Sire," and "Dame." I also see that the children of a litter are very close to each other, and not so much their parents. Parents would pretty much lose interest in their children once a new litter was on the way. This isn't out of cruelty, but necessity. The existing children should already be marked for their life's profession and well on their way into training, so they don't particularly NEED their parents any more where a new litter would require all a parents attention.

When a litter is born their culture demands that at least one of them goes to the army, one to the religion, and one into scholarly/useful pursuits. Profession has its own special form of "marking." The army is a cropped tail (so that it won't become a liability in hostile situations).The religion.. well their members are fixed (making them much more passive and docile). Those in the religion often see to things like crops, live-stock, gardening, and simple labor that helps bring them closer to mother nature. The scholars have their ears cropped (this causes them to heighten their other senses). Scholars learn anything and everything from medicine to mechanics depending on their interests.
Adsam's particular culture lives on the cusp between open desert and thriving cities. They mostly make currency from harvesting sand cucumbers or taking city dwellers out into the dessert and back.



That's all I can think of for now. Will add more if anything hits me.

Character stats on Adsam, more for me than for you.

Made a character for a role playing board that a girl at my school is trying to get running: Ethereal Lights

So the species name and home planet are her's, everything else came from my head. :B

Adsam


Species: Crittal
Gender: Male
Age: 250 years+1 day


Personality:
Adsam is very reserved, but not in the whole "I am a cold and heartless bastard, I don't want you to talk to me" kind of way. His is more of a "I want to see everything and weigh all my options before I form an opinion" reserved. He comes from a militaristic family, he takes orders well and carries them out with as much precision as crittally possible. Adsam is also loyal, first to his family then to his duties, and will stand unwavering by his higher-ups through hell or high water. He also adores his female litter-mate (the closest thing to the word "sister" his culture of people use), Ipsim.

Appearance and Clothing:
• Hair:
His body is covered in short dark gray fur, it grows longer in some areas like the top of his head, along his jaw, down his spine, and the bottom side of his tail nub.

• Face:
An interesting mixture between feline and turian (from Mass Effect [url=http://img.hexus.net/v2/gaming/screenshots_xbox360/mass/turian1_large.jpg] Here[/url] for an idea on how he his face moves when he speaks [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usyEF6_sAt8] just without the face mandibles [/url]). He also has your standard yellowish-green eyes.

• Body:
-7' (with ears, 6'7" without)
-168 lbs
He has the dependable build of someone who grew up running drill, but it is also slim enough to fit comfortably in the cockpit of many flying crafts. Adsam's tail was cropped when he was first born. It is a common practice for militaristic families to crop the tails of the babes they've marked for military service. They leave enough tail for balance purposes, but otherwise the tail appendage is considerably shortened. It does not swish around to express his mood, it is purely for balance.

• Clothing:
He always wears the protective full body under armor issued to him by his culture's military. When he is on duty he also dawns the other various protective plates, guards, and helmet.

Weapons and Equipment:
Adsam is required to carry his started pistol at all times. It is a small hand gun that is considered unlethal and is holstered around his hips. He is able to set it from stun to incapacitate and vice versa. When on duty Adsam carries around a much more dangerous rifle like device.

Likes and Dislikes:
• Likes:
He enjoys mind games, long naps out in the shade, and his mother's famous desert rat stew (a thick and meaty dish that is very popular with his culture back on Bellua). He adores his female litter-mate, Ipsim, and enjoys being partnered up with her on missions and such. He finds the human species to be an entertaining creature and will entertain himself by people watching. He also loves his job.

• Dislikes:
Sand cucumbers (a root like vegetable that grew well in the desert area outside of his culture's territory). He dislikes it when grit gets into his under armor and does not like being rushed into making decisions without getting all the available information.

Strengths and Weaknesses:
• Strengths:
Adsam is able to quickly assess the situation and begin to formulate options, the more information he has the more he is able to discern the issue. He has the speed and reflexes that is expected of any soldier in his culture and as far as aim is considered he is above average. He is also good at taking and carrying out orders. He is able to adapt to just about any situation... once he has enough information to do so.

• Weaknesses:
Adsam is weak where magic is concerned. He is able to stimulate his body to heal a little faster than average, but not by much. He is not particularly good with doing things spontaneously. He likes some heads up before the plans change. He is able to cope with situations well enough, but dramatic changes catch him up slightly. He's also not particularly good at standing up against authority.

Magical Powers:
When in a pinch he is able to stimulate his body into healing itself a little, otherwise his magical powers are pretty much dormant.


Biography:

Born on in a small town along the deserts of Bellua, Adsam was the forth in a litter of five. He and Ipsim's tails were cropped shortly after, marking them as the babes who would be raised for military duties. Another of his litter, Absun, was marked (I suppose one would say "fixed") for a devote and religious life, and the remaining two, Undil the runt and Illiam the red, had their ears cropped. A sign in his culture that marked them for scholars.
