Not a lot to update on the Sleeper model, as I'm trying to rig it and that is taking a lot longer than I anticipated. Instead, have this other model I'm almost done with:

Sitting at about 3K tris, also in the process of being rigged. Digitigrade legs are hard to rig and make deform properly.
Design originally by Sarah Jolley

Have an update, with 3D stuff!

Some artist friends and I did a sort of round robin with character concepts, where we roughed out a bunch of ideas then passed them along to see what would happen with the final product for a Guardian design. The only thing we all were in immediate agreement on was crazy antlers.

So my initial brush sketches where I tried to get an idea for the silhouette:

and then Alyson Phillips ended up doing our final Concept image for the creature, which I then have modeled. This is the base mesh, the UV's our laid out. All it needs is texture which will come in the next week or two, hopefully. Barring any outside work.

 Current renders:

I may or may not have characters for a thing. The twins came out a little weird but overall for some quick concepts it gets the job done

Cervitaur/Forest spirit concept. I might turn it into a model, see if I can play with blend shapes to make the antlers morph.

Until then it's just a rough concept.

I recently watched Over the Garden Wall and what a fantastic show that is.

One more bit of Gravity Falls fanart because the episode "Sock Opera" was really fantastic.

I really enjoy Gravity Falls, and what started out as a couple warm up sketches quickly became finished pieces. Whoops.
