[Art] Raist got Ink'd! (12/14/2007)

[Sienna Maiu - M T]

sweet! I could use some nude, except not models like these!

Do you mind if I use these Raist? *kittens*

[Fuyudenki]

I might mind if I'm being used as a nude model.  Can I wear swim trunks?

[Sienna Maiu - M T]

*sigh* Well I guess so...


(but seriously, can I use them for references, you know, since I won't get (too many) weird looks with manquin-looking figures like these?)

[Fuyudenki]

go ahead, though there are bound to be better references out there.

Actually, on the topic of reference material, I could use a reference.  Considering asking a friend if she wouldn't mind.

[Sienna Maiu - M T]

XD

But, does she have the body-type you require?

[Fuyudenki]

yes, actually.  That's why I'm considering asking.

I think she's about as close to 'ideal' as I'm going to find.

[Sienna Maiu - M T]

maybe she'll pose in bathing suit?

[Fuyudenki]

I dun' think her boyfriend would be too happy at that.

Really, though, tight-fitting clothing is quite sufficient.

[Sienna Maiu - M T]

meh
S'all good.

Best of luck with that endevour.

[Fuyudenki]

And update again.

I see no reason to update the entire thread just for this.

Arms and Legs

[xHaZxMaTx]

You making a mannequin, or what?

[Fuyudenki]

I just haven't attached the arms or legs yet.

They're ripped from an earlier model.

[xHaZxMaTx]

Are you using mesh smooth for rendering, or is the model you're working on that smooth?

[Fuyudenki]

what you see has been smoothed twice.  It looks kinda ugly at base-resolution(I actually work in what's called "proxy mode," where it looks smoothed once, but behaves at base resolution), and I figured if I'm smoothing it once, then why not go for a second time, and make it look really smooth.

Also, the screenshots are reduced to 80% of original size, resulting in "fake" anti-aliasing, and I have a virtual mirror going on during modeling, which I freeze for rendering, because otherwise it causes an artifact running down the middle of the model.

In short, I'm working in 204 quads, and you're seeing well over 6000 quads.

[Sienna Maiu - M T]

I kind of wish I knew what was going on

Seems cool anyways.

[Fuyudenki]

Necromancy needed, eh?

I assume it's still OK.  I've only fallen to the middle of the second page.

Anyway, those of you who visit the IRC channel have noticed someone show up occasionally by the moniker of "Tiffany."  Well, Ink asked what she looks like, so I decided to answer pictographically.

I need drawing practice...

bleh.  She needs a new hairstyle.

And I need tablet practice.  Maybe the Secret Santa will help with that.

[Brunhidden]

practice? yes, but thats pretty darned good lines there

[Fuyudenki]

it looks the same as it did 3 years ago.  That's not improvement!

[Fuyudenki]

Ink drew me! *glee!*

Yes, as a wolf-chick.  This probably makes more sense if you've been to the place-which-shall-not-be-named.

So I just had to color it

Thanks, Ink, I love it.

[Tapewolf]

Ink drew me!

Yes, as a wolf-chick.  This probably makes more sense if you've been to the place-which-shall-not-be-named.

Actually, it doesn't.  That said, I seem to recall Ink has from time to time decided to draw female versions of people's male characters so it wouldn't surprise me too much.

Nice colouring job, by the way!

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Yes, as a wolf-chick.  This probably makes more sense if you've been to the place-which-shall-not-be-named.

Actually, it doesn't.

He forgot to say "at the right time" ;-]

[Sienna Maiu - M T]

A wolf in fox's colouringclothing.

I need drawing practice...

bleh.  She needs a new hairstyle.

She looks like a female Iruka

[LionHeart]

Ink drew me! *glee!*

Yes, as a wolf-chick.  This probably makes more sense if you've been to the place-which-shall-not-be-named.

Which place? The EGS forums?

[Fuyudenki]

The IRC chat room.  It's dissociated from the message board for various reasons, so those of us who visit it refer to it as "The place which shall not be named."

[LionHeart]

Fair enough.

I was thinking of EGS Mayhem, where suddenly changing gender and/or species is pretty much par for the course.
