DD1 combat animation

Academic reference sheet, under the keep reading there's another reference sheet from when he still had a nose (featuring spoilers for up to the fourth confession)!

Tumblr makes the pics look bad in the preview but just click on them and save and it's all good!

Here's also another version that turned out too big and also had the stabbing spoiler, so it didn't make the cut for main post image:

Made a Vestal reference chart for you all!

You can find a bigger transparent version of this pic + renders of her (past and current) model in other angles in my 'DD2 3d model renders' google drive folder, first link on my pinned post!

I've recently seen a post on reddit pointing out background characters such as the one in the image, could you by any chance get this ripped by its self?

Here's the little fanatic! They're really cute, aren't they? (this is just an edit I've made of the assets, the unedited textures are under the 'read more')

EDIT: omg this is so funny, I went to save the file I edited and then apparently I had the same idea of assembling these assets earlier at some point, because there was already a file with the same name! Except I used a backdrop on this one too. (also I didn't bother to clean the white specks around the borders of each asset, as you can clearly see if you zoom on it)

Finally finished rendering all the new DD2 palettes and weapons!!

You can look at them all (in many different angles too) in the first and second link on my pinned post! Some details after read more:

Good news is that I've learned how to animate the camera and render the keyframes, so it was way WAY easier to render multiple angle this time around! The biggest effort was importing the new palettes and the new weapon models into blender, also sorting all the renders out and then using PS actions to edit the pics into a smaller size.

Bad news is that I cannot be bothered to organize my google drive folder anymore :( there are 411 new files, I cannot do it... I've moved all the old render into a big folder called OLD RENDERS and left all the new stuff floating in the main folder.

The second link in my pinned post consist of these palette comparison images, like, the individual full sized versions of this post's image! They're in a different image host service cause they were too big for my drive.

Also, after rendering it all I just noticed now that PD's beak is so long it penetrated the area light I've created, thus leaving just the tip not illuminated. Just saying so you won't think it's part of her design, it was just an oversight on my end!

But yeah, my job here is done until they introduce a new hero, I'm so tired...

Haven’t played the update yet but I gathered some Bounty Hunter references for all! He’s so friend shaped, too bad he can’t befriend your heroes :(

You can find the unedited 3D renders on my google drive folder, link in my pinned post. Some observations about his model and DD2 in general under the read more.

(I’ve made a new lineup to compare their heights with BH, the full pic is in his folder on the drive!)

When inspecting his model in Blender I tried to see if he had something under his mask but he doesn’t, it’s just empty under there. He also doesn’t have much of a butt (like, there’s just a little part where the legs connect?), and I tried to remove his gauntlet thingy to see the rest of his right arm to no avail. Since those experiments were fruitless, I haven’t saved a thing.

Like I’ve said, I haven’t yet played the update (been playing Stardew Valley yet again) so I cannot give my thoughts on the mechanic of BH being just a temporary hero. It technically aligns with his character, the whole not being tied to a budding party to save the world, he’s a professional, I get it. BUT I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed. I’ve been wondering what kind of backstory BH could have ever since seeing his name in the game files, also I was looking forward to see the relationship barks. But oh well, maybe they’ll add him full-time later in development?

Unrelated to that, may I add I love the preview for his model on AssetStudioGUI, the software we use to extract the game files?

Real cutie, 10/10!

DD1 backgrounds, as requested! I’ll post the DLC and final mission in another post. (There’s a link for a folder with the individual images in my pinned post.)

Old road and wolves at the door backgrounds after the read more!

Darkest Dungeon 2 inn crests!

Did you know there are different effects for each inn? I’ve made a spreadsheet with all the inn names, descriptions and effects, it’s in my pinned post.
