Damsel Character Poll - Project Update
🕑 Added 2024-12-19 17:59:25 +0000 UTC Hello Everyone! Sorry, this is kind of a long post, lol. Access: MPAniO7N#u1D Thank you all so much for your feedback in the last poll! I really appreciate getting everyone's opinions on the Monsters and on the potential scenario ideas. It really goes a long way in informing me on what people are interested in seeing, and who they want to see in action. So, thank you very much! While I worry that it's too redundant to directly answer everyone's poll responses, I go through and read every one! The polling is very strongly leaning towards Monster A currently. So, it seems like we will be looking forward to some aggressive Zombie action! But, of course, I will continue to check back on that poll as we get nearer to that project. Regarding the current project, I wanted to go ahead and give you an update on the where things are at! So, I currently plan on finishing the first pass of animation over the coming weekend. Adding the third character into the mix has slowed things down quite a bit. And, to make sure that every character gets their screen time the project is turning out longer than I initially planned. Right now, I think it will probably wind up around 3 - 3.5 minutes in length. But, I think it will be worth it! So, I've chosen to proceed with the longer runtime. But, unfortunately, it means that I still don't have production images to show you :( So, how I see things proceeding, sort of a rough roadmap for the project, goes a bit like this: - I plan on having the first pass of animation done over the weekend. So, I will check in before the Christmas holiday to get either some animation samples or preview renders up for you all. - I will be taking a good portion of next week off to spend the holiday with family, so there will be a little break. -Then I will be back to complete animation refinement and begin simulation and rendering. So, all and all, I think I anticipate this project wrapping up sometime in the middle of next month. Because I don't yet have the preview images I wanted to bring to you, I thought that this week I'd go ahead and get your input on some character variations on the next project! This is the damsel I'm currently working on for the next project. I was envisioning a bit of a scrappy character, one to survive in a Zombie Outbreak (given the monster poll), lol. So, I thought to make her a bit more lean and fit looking. And, while more petite, Hopefully not so petite as to run the risk of appearing too young. And, I've wanted to try to continue on my break from ponytail hairstyles for at least another project, lol. So, I thought this was another aesthetic way to keep her hair up. I tend to deliberate a lot on hair and eye color combinations for my characters. To me, at least, it really results in a very different looking character. So, please let me know how you feel about the character, and if you have a particular preference for one of the variations! Which version of the character do you like best? I tend to lean into certain hair and color combinations a lot, and I just wanted to get your input to ensure that I'm not being a bit too predictable, lol. I hope everyone is doing well and has a great weekend! I will be back early next week with another project update for you all before the holiday!
