A Gildalax, a creature I came up with from many years ago along side the Campanairy but a bit after it.
This one was based on a axolotl and a dragon. It didn't have a set design then up until now, which I'm pretty happy with what I got! They're like dragons

Finally I finished 😭 The Auros reference I've been working on for over a year lol I can't explain the whole WB but they're a major part of the story so I felt like making a clean ref with most of the info (I still have to do a PT. 2🤡) Hope you like it!

Progress.

#Blender3D #B3D #Blender3DArt #workinprogress #originalcreatures #originalcharacters #Blender3DModeling #WIP #workinprogress

The Blender application is open, the window is split into two segments and shows a transparent alien creature within the scene. The left of the window shows the armature within the creature's model. The right window shows the creature in a preview render without the armature. The creature has four long tentacles on its torso and look like limbs (arms and legs). The creature is posed leaning forward with the base of the tentacles going back before arching forward, the tips of the tentacles facing to the front of the creature. there are eleven tentacles around what looks like the shoulder area, surrounding the neck. The "neck" of the creature is long, eventually ending in a spherical "head" where a pair of eyes connected to nerves can be seen floating inside the transparent dome. The pose is to test both the controls of the armature and whether the model is weight painted to the rig properly. The shoulder and neck rig are the only parts that do not have controls set up yet.

The onion based uproot is fully rigged now (excluding the facial expressions). Now all I need to do is rig and weight paint the poncho and set up bone shapes.

#Blender3D #B3D #Blender3DArt #workinprogress #originalcreatures #originalcharacters #Blender3DModeling #WIP #workinprogress

The image shows the window of the 3D modeling application Blender, with a plant creature that appears to take inspiration from a leek based on its flat leaves.The initial design posted earlier had red/pink coloring, this was changed as red onions do not have flat leaves. The onion character is in an exaggerated pose as a way of testing if it had been weight painted to the armature correctly. This model uses a different technique for the elbow rig and is double jointed. This was done to make it easier to make correction shape keys for when the elbow bends. The rig also uses the tentacle rig from the tutorial video by Pierrick Picaut’s tutorial video for the leaves. A modified version of the tentacle rig is also used for the limbs to help with arm twisting and to add more flexibility when animating.

Posting this here to show the skritter's canonical size. There is a soda can for reference. More details in the alt text.

#Blender3DArt #B3D #Blender3D #Blendermodeling #Blender3DModeling #OriginalCreatures #OriginalCharacters

Here shown is one of the human characters that I have made to compare how small the ant-like skritters actually are. The stilting sneer and the beetle-like rolling skraggle can be seen next to a soda can at the right foot of the human character to scale. The skritters are so small, only small yellow dots can be seen by the can.

This image shows the in-blender scaling of the creatures. As the skritters are too small to animate at their real size, a large can is used as a reference for any other object that is used for a scene render. Essentially the can is scaled to real life dimensions, from which any downloaded object is parented to the scaled can. From here the can is scaled to its original large scale, enlarging anything that was parented to it.

Was looking through some of my old blender files and found these two. Going to touch them up and rig them.

#Blender3D #B3D #Blender3DArt #workinprogress #originalcreatures #originalcharacters #alien #Blender3DModeling

A translucent alien-like creature with a vague humanoid shape. There is an eye stalk that ends in a bulbous shape that has two visible eyes inside. the shape of the eye stalk looks almost like a head and neck. Its brain is in what looks like its torso, and the nerves of the creature visibly go throughout the limbs and eye stalk. It has four long tentacles and a ring of shorter tentacles around the base of its eye stalk. The brain is missing a texture as the model is still a work in progress.

A model of a plant creature called an uproot. It has three flat tipped leaves at the top of its head in the shape of a mohawk. ITs head has different layers that separate as it gets closer to the stem. The outer layer is a pink/red coloration before fading to green as the layers go up. There is a loose piece on the outer layer hanging off the top left of the uproots head, almost like a loose tuft of hair. The uproot has large black round eyes on the front of its face. Overall, the head is shaped like an onion, and has a white long torso that is covered by an asymmetrical poncho. The poncho covers the entirety of the left arm and only covers the upper half of the right arm. The root limbs are slender and long, with a bit of dirt at the ends where the hands and feet are.

I found this cinema in my city, and it reminded me of backrooms, so I made these creatures! Also to practice animation!

Imagine real animals and mixing them with another animal OR making them blend in with their environment.

Soo Sonichu is mine now. Screw you Chris Chan. At least I am original. Please note I DO NOT aim to interact with or 'troll' Chris, this is merely to spite him.

A reference sheet depicting 3 small rodent-like alien creatures in a row with a flame inspired title. One creature is yellow and black with sunglasses and underwear on his head named 'Sonichu', another is black and red with a similar design with pink arms named 'Blake' the last creature is purple with his hands in the air called 'Magi-chan'
