WIP WIP WIP stuff!

I've got this animation blocked out, there'...

Bathroom (and failed WIP)

So I decided to go ahead with the bathroom idea, but in a limited scope.

I lit, textures and added some graffiti to this bathroom. I couldn't...

New scales and lip sync test

I tried to make a procedural material that had a variety of skin texture to it and something that breaks up the specular part of the material in an appealing way. This is a bit of complicated material setup that would be kind of boring to ex...

Hair!

I've added hair along the back, fixed a couple things, redid the tail hole a bit, added a tongue and started working on face controls.

I find this method, while using a lot of bones, is the best way to get very precise control over how...

WIP + joint problems (on the model, not me!)

I've been trying to figure out the best topology to fit the dragon's pose range. I want a balance between something humanoid and something feral. I redid the shoulder and chest area's topology and the deformation is better, but it still has s...

WIP dragon update 2!

I began with a sketch of a the side view of the body:

I didn't do a front view because... I kind of already knew it would look crazy so I did...

Dragon Head WIP1

Last night and today I've worked on the dragon's head! I think I got pretty close to the energy of the sketch.

I kind of originally imagined a like, red/orange firey dragon. But as I was doing some vertex painting, I thought maybe he's a dark ele...

Final preview!

Update: moved image into post body.

I think now, the sound and such are quite acceptable. Next, I'll be putting everything into the real scene, though I'm going to try a couple different moods. Like maybe it's dark, and the bronto has c...

Various egg shots

Update: moved images into post body.

Next Animation Poll 5: Kobold

The most enjoyable and productive part of animation is waiting for a simulation, it's not good, changing one tiny thing and doing it all over again! ... said no one :p

In the mean time I've been doodling some ideas for a kobold character for the ...

Fluids!

I'm pretty excited about something I figured out! One of the big issues with the Flip Fluids blender add-on is that drivers don't affect anything on it- I use drivers a ton for things. For example I use bone scale and drivers to determine wha...

Wip fluidy

I might hold off on using fluids for another time, if I can't get the result I really want tonight >_> I think this is getting closer, but fluids are a bit difficult to work with, since they're simulation...

I think the sound help...

Update to tiers

I've gone and update the tiers. This doesn't affect any current patrons! I've unpublished the dollar slice tier and renamed it "Legacy dollar slice." Originally, the dollar slice tier had access to WIP content, finished stuff and voting in polls (The legacy dollar slice remains this way).

I've decided to make these benefits apply to a new,...

Brontosaurus and Raptor model downloads

Here's the brontosaurus and raptor models isolated. I don't know why they're so large in file size though! I took them from the main character ani...

Furniture sounds

I added in fabric rustling sounds, some couch thumps and wood creaking sounds. The furniture I was recording with isn't as creaky as I'd like, so... I found some CC0 sounds to use. This sound:

Next Animation Poll 4: Dragon Head

I felt so inspired to draw some dragon heads to hold a poll with! I couldn't focus on my assignments... so I drew a bunch of dragon heads! I tried to get a couple different feels, but all pretty smug. Some more plain, some with more embellishments.

Next animation: Scenario suggestions w/ dragons

So far, we've decided on feral dragon x bipedals, with the dragon bottoming. I did ask for suggestions previously, but I'd love to hear your ideas for a scenario involving a bottom feral dragon and a couple top bipedal boys.

I've had a couple patrons suggest that I do something similar to a thing I did for the game I was working on:

...

Next animation poll #3: Sizes

I've been dying to make this poll, so I went ahead and did it! Here's some size ideas.

Designs aren't final, but this is to get a scale of the characters. Though, I kinda like how the dragon turned out :p

A lewd idea >~>

I had an idea that got me quite hot and bothered! I've had this picture of two big long neck dino boyfriends in my mind for awhile... ever since making the first bronto!

In my mind, in the dinosaur part of society, it's common for herbivore dinosaurs to have plenty of partners. One kind of 'main" partner, their significant other, but also ...

~Thanks posting~

Man I just want to say thanks to everyone for the support. I can't believe how things have blown up recently.

As part of the frozen pizza tier, I ask patrons for permission/what name they want to use in the special thanks. I haven't re-rendered the thanks part for the final version of the AV animation yet because since the last one I did, ...

First sound pass (and some physics baked)

Since the animation aspect is very near being done (I still need to change the lip sync where he says "so warm" as originally, I had him saying something longer, but I felt like just having him say "so warm" works better)

I don't have anything visually new to show, as it's just been a lot of chopping up the sounds into individual parts whi...

Voice tests, sounds stuff

There's gonna be some attachments- 2 voice tests and 2 recording previews.

The sound tests are awkward- it's *just* the voice, no plaps/squish/sploops/whatever sounds. Those sounds will be added after I've finalized the animation. For those sounds, it's better, performance wise, to do those without blender being bogged down by a 3d scene.<...

POV animation update

I've blocked out the whole animation and all that will happen- I was able to animate the POV insertion part successfully:

This is kind of funny though, since I'm only animating what the camera sees (in first-person-shooter vision), I only animate ...

Head

Animations of the logo head! I had a good time animating these :p

I'm not sure yet how much this would add to an animation, the head logo thing animating on the bottom left, but it'll be a fun experiment. I'll be rendering the frames to easily to just, place in Blender's video editor where I'd like the animation to change...

So for e...

POV WIP post

This is a pretty rough preview of the POV animation. I'm mostly focusing on blocking things out, getting the eggs to not have clipping problems, though the end isn't in yet. That is, if I get the POV insertion looking good :x not sure about it yet, but I'll try my best!

Pretty much everything before frame 2434 (except for the very beginnin...

POV sound test (really wip)

This is a quick sound test with some sounds I captured originally for the lil' dragon sound test from a bit ago. It's a combination of various sounds: food, non-food, and flesh light sounds, including stirring some home mode macaroni and cheese (I make a very thick cheese sauce from butter, sour cream and a TON of cheddar cheese and when stirrin...

POV test!

A lot of new patrons here, thank you so much for joining~

As you may/may not know, before starting the new animation, I said I'd do a POV take on the bronto/raptor animation. I had several people request it and it seemed like a good idea to experiment with a few things I've wanted to try out.

Initially, I wasn't sure if this would wo...

Next animation Poll 2: Dragon top or dragon bottom?

So, it seems that seeing feral dragon on bipedal fellows is the hottest in demand! Thank you to everyone who voted- 57 is a lot of votes!

My question is, do you want to see the dragon topping or bottoming? I personally, and this is just what I fan...
