Monster Hunter Forever Update 6:

Support my burning: https://ko-fi.com/tlgtw

My redesigning of Brachydios is finally complete, basically! With long maneuverable arms and an armoured chest, it's built to truly encompass the idea of a 'monstrous boxer.' It has soft and flexible neck that it protects by ducking and rolling agilely, and blocking with its impervious fists.

To defeat it, you have to knock it down by consistently striking its vulnerable legs, going for its unprotected neck when its on the ground. (Also evoking the idea of a TKO when an actual boxer is knocked down.)

And, as 'bird wyvern' instead of a 'brute wyvern' that the real Brachydios is, my Brachy has a sense of 'heroism' too it. Once an underdog, with training and equipment, so to speak, it has taken the top spot of its volcanic home, and stands beside no equal.

There are a few adjustments that I'll still make, which are what my sketches above and scant notes are for. As this sheet is mainly for my internal use, I have no problem with that.

Now I can get to actually making the illustration this design will belong to.

But, I do have a lot of material and notes saved from making this thing. So maybe I'll make a video about my design process for this thing first. I could call it "Redesigning Brachydios" or something and upload it. And then I can go onto the actual illustration.

Hm...

i realize this is more or less all happening on bluesky but holy fucking shit fuck hbomberguy and the leeches of breadtube that are trouncing around with him rn. jesus christ

[deepseasmetro]

hbomberguy and co are over on bluesky pedojacketing patricia taxxon because she called him out for underpaying her as a freelancer for several years (including when she was a fucking teenager)

(and their reasoning is "a tweet patricia taxxon made like 2 weeks ago")

[sailatina3]

So they acknowledge that they screwed her over but justify it because "she deserved it". Breadtubers genuinely think they deserve to live lol.

[the-dense-fish]

This horrific transmisogynistic bullshit makes me feel sick. She's not even a lolicon, but I guess the urge to call a trans woman a pedophile is just too strong.

Apparently finding things gross, but being way more disgusted by people talking about said gross things in detail as a harassment tactic, is a moral failing. But only if you're a trans woman. Especially a traumatized one, an autistic one, a furry one. If you're "cringe" enough and harassable enough. Fucking obviously.

Major loss of respect for ""breadtube"".

Patricia Taxxon should be legally allowed to kill people at this point, she's been through too much of this shit.

Monster Hunter Forever Update 5:

Developed my first rendition of the colour scheme for my Brachydios. This isn't finished, though, I still need to add actual lighting and shadows to this piece before I might use it as a finished design.

The second image was my initial pass, but I found Brachy's scales and armour plates to be too similar in value. A quick multiply layer to make the scales darker satisfies me right now, but already while making this post I'm having second thoughts... I wonder how I should go from here.

Doing a lot of experimentation before I ended up with this, I think with only minor alterations I might be finished for real. And then I'll be able to make the first of the actual infographic-style posters that this project is actually supposed to be focused around.

[tlgtw]

If I can actually keep a good pace this week I'll most likely have Brachydios's design complete. And then I'll be making the finished piece...!?

Get an ask in my inbox -> read it -> "oh, that's nice; I need to think of a good response" -> "this deservea more attention than I can give it rn; I'll take another look at it later" -> close inbox until later -> "later" never really comes -> forget -> repeat

Monster Hunter Forever Update 4:

You will become depressed. And even the most basic things will become impossible to you. But as long as you haven't died, you'll still be alive.

More organic shapes for Brachydios's armour plates evoke lava flows, and will speak to the Brachy's ancestral proto-species making use camouflage to avoid its myriad predator--prior to the development of its symbiosis with its slime. Now that the sketching is done, I will develop painting/colouring it. I might even get started on that today.

guy working on an artwork they knew would push them technically: what the hell why do i keep doing this wrong. am i haunted by malevolent spirits and such

guy who does not do studies and does not practice shading and does not use materials of any level of quality and does not know how to use them and does not know what they are doing: what the hell why does this look bad

Monster Hunter Forever Update 3:

Somehow, perhaps due to my never having drawn scales before, my first attempt at scaling over my Brachydios proved unsatisfactory. I could not believe it. But while first at a loss, I did some thinking, and managed to put together the plans for a second attempt for me to do tomorrow.

From left-to-right, top-to-bottom, my notes here read...

- Horn-like lumps where feathers once were on ancestral species - Rounded - Sharp - Lower beak also made from fused-scale plates - maybe similar scales to Yian-Garuga - Like molten rock that's rehardened mid-flow - Scales = completely solidified - Anvil-like scales bunched up? - Legs have to be vulnerable - 3 types of scales: - 1. Thin, skin-like scales that are flexible and soft (Will have scratches and stuff) - 2. Thick, overlapping scales for moderate protection. - 3. Rigid fused plates that can barely move at all.

[tlgtw]

Monster Hunter Forever Update 2:

Figuring out more and more of what I want my Brachydios to look like. I'm procrastinating on actually putting down those scales, but I don't have much longer to delay.

Those brow-lumps on Brachy's forehead add some silhouette, but also add an element of weirdness that adds to its naturalistic. Like the squawk of Bazelgeuse when it gets knocked down. Those kinds of 'undignified' idiosyncrasies serve to make the monsters feel more like actual creatures, rather than merely 'characters.'

[tlgtw]

Monster Hunter Forever Update 1:

I have to design my redesign of Brachydios, if I am to redesign him.

My design emphasizes the creature's boxing aspect, it will be agile--able to hop around easily in the middle of combos and protect its relatively weak head with its strong sturdy arms. With a flexible neck, it might even be able to, in a fashion, duck and weave. Notes are written to remind me of what features I have to remember. Are you able to read them?

If not, here they are transcribed, from left to right:

- Grenade handle crest - Lightweight, weak skull. - Mobile neck - Bulging back muscles (hump) - Ebonshell will add rocky camoflage - Stiff Heavy Tail (Add counterweight?) - Heavily Armoured Chest - Very long, strong, and flexible arms. - Slime produced in "wing" membranes - Strong hoppy legs for dodging and strafing.

The announcement and details for my next major project is here. Its title is "Monster Hunter Forever".

Here's a link to the article describing the new project as well:

Upcoming Major Project: "Monster Hunter Forever"

the T-L-G-T-W Official Fanclub published a post on Ko-fi

[tlgtw]

Oh yeah all releasing tomorrow probably

[tlgtw]

Hoo, okay, the timelapses and all their editing is done. I just have to write the accompanying article detailing the upcoming project plans and it'll all be ready for release.
