Tumblr bans

ya boy hauled ass to slavland once more just in time for them smut bans

Season’s greetings from a comfy place. I hope you followed them links earlier, because the main’s been restricted to that bullshit side-window thing that makes it fecking impossible to just open links in a new tab and whatnot

A more comprehensible list of places your local madman treads

So I spent a chunk of today spreading my influence and getting me bering straight with some new places.

Tumblr: Komissariart [current safe blog, but considering the situation it’s likely this will get nuked]

DeviantArt: bAv-inc [needs cleanup, “safe” stuff goes yonder]

Inkbunny: bAvink [needs cleanup, nonhuman porn goes yonder]

Newgrounds: KomissarbAv [currently blank, stuff goes yonder]

Twitter: @Komissar_bAv [currently blank, will be used for shitposting and WIPs]

Pixiv: bAv [blank, mostly used just to see stuff on Pixiv but there’s a chance I might post stuff here at one point]

e621: Komissar_bAv [porn goes yonder]

Also holy fuck my avatar is old as hell, I need to make a new one.

[komissariart]

This will be the only time I will have the main blog show up on my SFW page. This post will remain here until December 17, in case there are people here that want to find me in case this blog gets nuked in the purge. If this place is still standing, I’ll just delete this post and move on.

Local madman claws his way out of existential crisis by making a bitchin guitar

[komissariart]

Local madman is displeased with a face that was off-model from every concept art and drawing created for like two years and conjures a cuter face in one evening while running on a handful of cold ones

[komissarbaverick]

Modeled a handful of individual lego pieces in Blender and then put them together. Gave it a skeleton, and emulated the original bohrok animation from 2002.

30K Triangles

30 Bones

9 days to sculpt, UV map, and texture

14 days to render at 500 samples

[komissariart]

Very soon now

[komissariart]

me: “I should put some stuff onto Artstation” Artstation: [is full of high-definition photorealistic models and illustrations] me:

[komissariart]

Fucking shit, why must I torture myself like this

Every time someone tells me to stop what I’m doing and take a look at the bigger picture, I just get into this unbelievable funk and feel empty inside

I have so many people telling me that my work is really good and all that, but then when I look at other people doing what I do, it’s like putting a crude wooden carving right next to that Thinking Statue

Got damn why can’t I just do my shitty character models in peace

[komissariart]

me: “I should put some stuff onto Artstation” Artstation: [is full of high-definition photorealistic models and illustrations] me:

[komissariart]

Oh yeah

I made this immediately after I started rendering that animation like eight days ago and I forgot to post it ha ha

Fuckign thing is like 700 frames out of 1174 at this point ha ha

Oh yeah and this blog’s URL is updated a little

LOCAL MADMAN CONJURES A SET OF LEGO PIECES AND CONSTRUCTS A GODDAMN BONKLE

HELL YEAH BABY I’M FEELIN’ IT

Went and whipped up a bunch of pieces while holding the things right in front of me for reference, then stuck a bunch of them together and attempted to optimize as much as I could without losing any details

Extra weight paints for bendy limbs and proper renders for the portfolio blog coming tomorrow, been crunching on this heckin’ round boy all damned week

Like sheeeeeiiit you wouldn’t believe the amount of UVs I had to deal with

[komissariart]

Local Madman converts a handful of his game rigs and ports them into Virtual Shitposting Simulator with varying degrees of success

I don’t have a VR headset so I obviously can’t test them out fully.

Bast has facial animations but the eye tracking refuses to work. Jujehyu doesn’t have any, since she is wearing a helmet. Oddly enough, the jaw flap on the armor is acting as if her mouth is wide open, showing the empty helmet if anybody is standing underneath.

I was planning to give the Bast a sword or two that she could pull out on a gesture, and the Jujehyu could equip and shoot her carbine. There was also an idea where she could take off her helmet since I’ve seen that done with some Halo and WH40K avatars, but I’m not at that level with Unity yet. The alternative is to make an alternate version with the helmet missing, and maybe the rest of the armor too.

Me: [working on my own game as long as I can each day, something that would take me at least four years or more solo, but releasing WIP screenshots every week or two]

My parents: [want me to go out and get a job instead of sitting at my computer all day]

Every studio job requirements: “We need 2+ years of experience with 3Ds Max / Maya, working with high-quality realistic human models and rigs with 4K textures”

My portfolio: [lowpoly stylized nonhuman characters with flat color textures created in blender]

fuggin shit at this point it’s “Work on your game with tools you already have and get it done faster” or “pick up a new thing that costs a lot of money, spend a few months learning them and make a thing that may or may not actually help with getting a job”

[komissariart]

Local madman doesn’t know what he is doing

[komissariart]

And also a quick shitpost to boot.

[komissarbaverick]

Got around to making a few final tweaks to the recent Bastekh’Met tomb stalker model, as well as giving it some UV maps and textures.

9,200 Triangles

Body material uses a diffuse, roughness, and metal texture, as well as a separate emissive material for the eyes and a handful of glowing bits inside of the torso, which can open up.

198 bones

The rig is also equipped with a handful of tools and weapons, which can be toggled between being held in the hands or holstered on the legs.

Also with a quick comparison of the colors between the new, slick PBR-textured version and the old multi-material version
