Meet the Artist !

I spent way too many hours (days) on this.. 💀

SO I wanted to do one of those cute "meet the artist" thingys I see all the time in my feed, while also working out the aesthetic and versatility of UI I plan to use in my upcoming animated projects. I already had the character models already done, so I figured I could crack this out a lot sooner ..but I got a *little* obsessive over the details. 😖

Closer look and descriptions of the props i modeled: - Nintendo Switch (w phat binbok joypads.) - plush Totoro (was very fun to make.) - Heartskipper key (already had.) - Lon Lon Oat Milk (I tried to get the hylian writing accurate but I don't know japanese kana which old hylian is based on.) - The crystal pen sword thing I still haven't named, (also already had.) - Bag of Oyster Crackers, thought the logo was ver clever. - Wonka bar (already had logo as part of another project.) - Some purp glasses I have irl that I think are cool. (modeled and rendered in #Blender.)

#gamedev bug family #wip. First time I've managed to flesh out designs for them all. May tinker here and there with some details in the future, would like to do a lighting pass on these guys, but just happy there are finally some faces to these characters now. Characters left to right: "Greilyn" (placeholder name) "Adriel" "Eris" the fox like creature is "Vulu," and yes, the head of Greilyn's hammer is an anvil.

improved? improved.

Trying to rework the design of my buggy boi cuz the initial design just felt bad (as many of my drafts often do.) After some time away I gave him a needed rework and I really like where it's going now. Frankly I don't even know what i was doing before, literally barf.

Still have a bit to figure out but this is serviceable for now at least.

bro's glow-up was RIDICULOUS

just so proud with how they turned out, full progression below: (see previous progress posts on my page for more details on character's development.)

[lanceberyl]

new limbs, character is (basically) done!

Aside from maybe an eye rig and other misc details on the back, I think I am pretty much done with this character!

Initial rigging chicanery was scary but hey it worked out alright!

oc LORE: So, this "golem," automaton, whatever, is actually one among many others who tend to the garden and other facilities on the Heartbase. They (as I'm currently writing) don't have an assigned gender, but I'd like to hear ideas for names. "Charlie" is one I really like.

golem 3d character wip (their limbs are stretchy now)

So after finding no tutorials or threads on the subject and like eight combined hours of throwing random constraints at the wall, I finally figured out how to do IK telescopic arms with pose-ability comparable (ish) to bendy bones.

..I still have a bit of work to do on this character, texturing the legs, adding now limb system to the torso and neck, fixing a few ickys here and there, but overall I'm really pleased with the results they're so cool/fun to play with I'm pretty happy with it.

Golem Frend WIP (Blender3d)

Golem frend WIP progress: modeling, rigging, and shader test. Overall like how they're turning out, not totally set on color scheme yet. I want the arms to be able to telescope out but not sure how to do that with IK bendy arms. (design progression below)

spacestation WIP modeling

work in progress modeling of spacestation, updated fairly regular on my threads and instagram (@ lance_beryl) Design has pulls from many inspirations, such as Hollow Bastion (Kingdom Hearts,) Laputa (Castle in the Sky,) Rosalina's Observatory (Super Mario Galaxy,) and Wonka's chocolate factory (Wonka Film 1971.)

SWORD (idk what to call it)

I don't think I showed this off before so, here there be a model of da sword which my avatar will use in various animation / dev videos. I think there was a joke in here somewhere about a pen utilizing the might of a sword ..or was it vise versa..? Anyway, it's simple in it's design but I love the asymmetry of the silhouette (..also a nod to the keyblade.) As is tradition I do not have a name set for this device.. "Heartmarker" is what I'm rolling with rn, open to suggestions.

New face sprites for his face place!

I also spent a good amount of time messing around with different sprite expressions. I tried to retain the spirit and limitations of the original 16bit sprites, but with a newfound injection of vibrancy to his character. He feels so much better personified with these new expressions, but I guess we'll see how they stick.

[lanceberyl]

da boi gotted a nametag now

Based on posts I made on threads/instagram the people seem set on "Bill Board" as his name, so I thought I'd make it official and give him a cute little a nametag! I still might change it later if yall come up with / prefer a better one. (I'm partial to "Vieward" as one alternative.)

alone on valentines

just turned 26, have no idea what i'm doing with my life, and then valentine's day shows up to remind me i am alone. haha. Here's a chibi Lance I drew to encapsulate my current mental state.

she is annoyed (with me)

animation is a work-in-progress

Yee, frickin, Caw

A peek at an OC for the RPG I'll definitely totally make some day. I am still not sure on what his name should be, (as is the case with basically all my characters.) For now I'm calling him "Gaelus," but idk if it really fits. Will see. -Let me know if you have any suggestions. And hey if you want to read a quick character bio on this guy, here ya go: ~ Growing up in a society centric to flight proved discouraging for a bird born with one wing. In childhood he would cross paths with an inventor, and together the two worked to create a prosthetic arm. ..As he grew older, he took an occupation as a mercenary as a means to prove his resolve; whether to himself, or society. -He despises the notion of people looking down on him as they did in his youth, so he carries himself with a palpable sense of fortitude that could brave any storm. The dangers of mercenary work do not frighten him but are nevertheless nothing to be trifled with, ..and so early on he had his hand further modified so that it also functions as a gun. Yes, he has a gun for a hand.

Last post of 2023 I guess

Here's a wip doodle of a god chicken with an egg hammer.

BLENDER revised toon shader testing!

Currently troubleshooting my HEAVILY revised toon shader for blender eevee. It's not perfect, certain elements I still can't get to behave EXACTLY how I want for every given scenario, ..but overall, I'm very happy with the progress and versatility made thus far. Animation demonstrating it's various effects will come ..eventually. ..Hopefully. Stay tuned for more updates.
