The Nth Umbreon

Thanks! Sometimes the learning curve is all pain and no gain, and it’s great to have outside feedback so I’m not just throwing edits into the void.

Diving into animation is *hard*. There are a dozen things wrong with this, but it took 8 hours to render so here's J idling.

Well, this blew up like I wasn't expecting. Here's the extra panel:

Sounds about right. Eight toasters out of ten appreciate my work.

Figures my first BSky post was a gif back when gif support was broken. Let's see if it works now.

I used the same base armature. I scaled their worlds the same. Somehow, Zero is tiny anyway. Blender truly works in mysterious ways.

Steady progress. Between unwrapping the fur tufts one by one, weight painting, and the Shaved Leg Incident everyone is ready to just move on to texturing already.

He's come a long way today. I *may* have made a very slight texturing error and inadvertently shaved his legs, though.

Niantic forgot to feed the consonants again.

After a day's work he's slightly rough from the neck down. I mean he's rough from the neck up too, but that's not the *glaring* issue.

Psychic pokemon are very well known for their high IQ

The colors. The composition. The fox. It’s all perfect.

Thanks! All the scenery (except the lazy gradient backdrop) is kudos of PoliigonHQ on the Other Site. J and Allie and their chemistry are homemade, though.

Their reunion is getting serious. They're about to go play Monopoly Deal.

The framing isn't great and the lack of a real background transition is meh, but I am slowly learning the HELL out of Blender's compositing system. Also the value of free object/texture libraries.

At the behest of my favorite critic, I finally addressed Allie's hotdog feet. A little heel goes a long way.

I hadn't done art of Allie (Eevee-era J's Kirlia colleague) in YEARS (like so long ago they're all lost on a past computer), but I finally made her an evolved 3D model as an excuse to learn some new Blender stuff. Anyway, I think they missed each other.

They’re a fantastic conservation success story. Centuries ago when I was a kid, just glimpsing an Island Fox was like seeing a unicorn. But when I went to Santa Cruz a couple years ago I was shooing them out of the campsite left and right.

They live in the Channel Island, near California!

I’m pretty sure I make this exact face every single day when I wake up. And I can confirm, am stupid.

Least chaotic UV map.

(Not inspired by a specific one of the millions of Star Wars hot takes out there. I just wanted to see if I could import my old lightsaber mesh into the J model)

Star Wars fans: "They RUINED Star Wars wi–"

J, who just wants to relax with some space fairytales:

I don’t know how Netflix times each new release of Pokémon Concierge to coincide exactly with when I’m Going Through Some Stuff and need the feel trip, But I’m glad they do.
