It's been just over a year since Deltarune chapters 3 & 4 released! I did the 3D work, which mostly means Tenna 📺 I figured it's been long enough to share some "behind the scenes" stuff, starting with a look at the Maya file for his static poses...

I'd individually render the poses to get that early 3D shine ✨ Here's some of them at their original resolutions! I would work from text descriptions from Toby, and sometimes there'd be a Paint sketch to help out. Gigi drew the concept that I modeled from and some poses too!

I had a lot of fun pushing myself to match the dynamic poses Toby had in mind for Tenna - making him so crazy and expressive was something I couldn't have done without his prompts. He'd draw the faces on afterward too, which really brought Tenna to life!

(lots more after the Read More cut...!)

Here are some of the Paint sketches Toby drew to help me with specific Tenna poses! I love seeing his drawings LOL, genuinely really good and evocative 👍

There was a time when I was struggling to capture what he wanted for these specific Tenna poses… Until Toby acted them out himself, and I thought, "Ah, it's like that. I understand." and then I was able to make them just how he pictured them.

When looking through the renders and choosing what to share, I laughed at these two… Remember when Tenna had a gun? Remember when he bent over in a very specific way that might remind you of another, different image? No? Maybe you don't…? Well. Don't worry about it.

These ones are cute… Tenna is pretty cute sometimes! Has anyone ever thought this? Actually, before people knew he was going to be a strange 3D sprite the Whole Time, I was worried people wouldn't like the style and it'd sour people's views on him. I'm glad that didn't happen.

Toby thought it would be funny to have Tenna do some really smooth, mocapped animations sometimes - specifically free to use ones that often pop up in other things. An extra funny part to me is how many frames these take up in the game, and how his tails are stuck to his legs…

Speaking of mocap, Toby wanted Tenna to use custom mocap animations as far back as 2016 - Ten(na) years ago! I got an Xbox Kinect at the time and learnt how to set this up, but then never used it. Here's a look at messing with mocaped stuff again in 2022. So Normal.

Don't bother trying to help him here, he's just being dramatic 🙄

I particularly like these poses - I think I improvised most of these just based off the context they get used in… I always liked posing his tie and coat tails as if they were also parts of his body he could move. Which I guess they are?

After I rendered out the individual poses in high quality, I'd force the color palette to be limited to just a few shades and then I'd shrink the result down to pixel sized sprites. Like these! I'd tidy them up a little, but they'd really get improved on at the pixel scale by Clairvoire.

As well as Tenna's sprites, I also worked on his intro "movie"…! Seeing people be completely overloaded by this on first playthroughs would always make me laugh. In game, there's a ton of extra editing done by Everdraed, but my unedited cut looks like this ⬇️

This was the entire storyboard I had to work from, and I'm realizing now that there's the note "put him in car etc" that I never did and actually don't know what it would mean exactly. Working on this had me listen to the accompanying audio many times, but it's good so it's okay.

Here are a bunch of random clips of the Maya project for Tenna's intro movie. This is how movies get made, I think!! Yeah… Just like this.

Say it with him, folks!!

For the 3D Ralsei clip from the intro, Toby really wanted it to look a certain way, and drew more sketches for guiding me with this part than any other. They genuinely helped.

Remember how Toby's original storyboard has the note "covered in slime and shrinks"? That meant I had to learn how to make 3D slime. You can see my tech advancing here.

I'm really happy with how the final Tenna animation at the end of the intro movie turned out! It wouldn't look as good if it wasn't for some 2D animation to reference from SmallBuStudio, so thank you to them for the help! Tenna is cute… Huh, I already said that…?

Phew!! That's a lot of Tenna. I hope it was fun to look through my posts! Oh, one more thing - the Fangamer Mr. Tenna Figurine just straight up uses the 3D model I made, which I think is really funny and cool and nice. Check it out if you want! Thanks for reading!

Hey, hey, look me in the eyes when I tell you this okay? The whole "do trans women or trans men have it worse?" debate going on right now is the most obvious CIA bullshit on earth cause honestly we've both got it pretty shitty and fighting each other isn't helping anyone

happy birthday chapter 3 (and 4)!!

[cheezydraws]

Very fast, last minute Ch3+4 anniversary art! I wanted to draw my fav from each chapter.

(it was nice drawing Gerson again, his design is so fun.)

[some-kind-of-robot]

Finally found out how to screenshot

also color jitter is really fun

A couple Magma shenanigans

...is this thing on? Okay... okay.

Happy Anniversary, Deltarune Chapter 3 and TV World! We have a little gift for the special occasion.

We're launching an Interest Check for a Fanzine dedicated entirely to Ramb! Read below for more info and the link to the Form!

This Zine will be, obviously, a project dedicated entirely to our favorite purple plugboy and all the things that make him... well, him! Be it his backstory, his dynamics with other characters and all the factors that make his brain tick, we are looking to explore it all!

We are planning for this to be a Digital Zine, unless we get a high enough amount of interest to justify a Physical release! (By Interest, we mean that there's enough people who have requested a Physical Release to justify the manufacturing costs.)

We will have spots open for Page Artists, Merch Artists and Writers for this project. Exact amounts are to be decided. There is also the possibility for Alt Formats (Cosplay, 3D Art, Photography, Cooking/Mixology, etc) to be available if there is interest!

We also will be looking for Art + Graphics and Finance Mod roles to be filled, alongside Production and Shipping Mod roles if we do end up going with a physical project. Mod Applications will go out between the Interest Check closing and Contributor Applications opening!

Most importantly, this will be a CHARITY ZINE! We are going to be raising funds for the National Coalition Against Censorship! You can find more info about them here.

Any other information can be found in our Carrd!

Now for what you came here for. Here's the link to the Interest Check form! It will run until July 9th, so for 5 weeks!

If you have any questions for us, you can either ask them on the form, or right here! That's all from us! Thanks for reading, and we can't wait to see your responses! 💜

Can’t believe it’s been a full year since Deltarune chapter 3+4 released. It’s been such a big aspect of my life for so long now and has introduced me to new friends and opportunities, even as life goes on and when I do move on from it eventually: it’ll always be a wonderful memory. This whole year, honestly.

given the current climate this pride especially i feel i must mention that i love my trans friends, i stand with trans people in the fight against transphobic legislation and those who would enforce it, and this blog is not a good place for you to be if you do not vibe with that

[ceruleanheaven]

[looking at people younger than me] you have your whole life ahead of you [looking at people older than me] you have your whole life ahead of you [looking at myself] its over

[gibbdoodles]

Apologies for any weird disjointed fandom engagement from me. I got a weird hodgepodge of media I’m interested in atm lol

[thatgirlonstage]

Please don’t let fandom ruin something you love. Walk away and unfollow the fans and enjoy the thing by yourself, or find a limited circle of people who ignore the discourse, or get your irl friends into the thing and collectively ignore the Internet community, or blacklist from here to the moon if you need to and only ever scroll through your rarepair ship’s tag on AO3. But don’t let fandom distort a show or a movie or a book or a comic you used to love so badly that you can’t enjoy the original anymore. Please. It isn’t worth it.

i am Thinkimg . about the Character. and listening to a Song. i a m sure this will not have repercussions

Gamma quadrant wormhole more like prime directive loophole I swear I love Picard as much as the next guy, but something about Sisko's nonchalant approach to Starfleet rules and regulations is very appealing to me
