Bloodlines Indigo - GHB
<ID> Digital art of the Grand Highblood, Gamzee's ancestor from the webcomic Homestuck; he is seated on a throne, snarling, and gesticulating with one hand while wielding a juggling club in the other. He is a gigantic, top-heavy troll; here depicted in a buglike, xeno style that segments his limbs and gives him a long toothy muzzle. The moody purple colour of the majority of the piece accentuates the golden shine of his long back-swept spiralling horns; on his prominent dentition - sabertooth canines and outswept flattened tusks jutting up out of his mouth from both top and bottom jaw; the gold continues on the razer-sharp scything claws on each of four digits on per hand and two per foot. </ID>
The Grand Highblood for the Makara edition of the Homestuck Bloodlines Zine. I based his teeth off of a combination of musk deer and warthogs. He was fun but tricky to do; I am not quite fluent in Blender, especially posing and the fancy modifiers and math and whatever, which was instrumental in this piece. With any luck I will be able to remember how I modelled his horns, since that will be a very useful skill in the future. It involved 3 parts, IIRC: modelling a small trisection, using a curved line to indicate the general horn curve and having the section repeat along it, and applying a spiral. There must have been a taper function used as well, I think that might also have been a curve? Looks like I have forgotten it all already! Oh well, I will simply have to re-learn it next time!! You can find the edition here. Bloodlines also has a caard, a tumblr, a twitter, and you can find the other editions at the itch.io You can also find me at tumblr deviantArt FurAffinity and Patreon.
