Cypress Ref Sheet WIP ๐ฎ (Moodity Warning)
🕑 Added 2025-02-03 17:35:11 +0000 UTCHey guys! So it has begun... After working on Thads's Ref, (and then being re-inspired by Sinto's recent work ๐), I've decided to put the effort into making refs for my own characters. This will also allow me to convey bits of lore about each one of them and how they interact with the world around them, and will be another great exercise.
With Cypress being first (Who could have guessed lol) I went with the clothing base that I'd made before, and edited it to have a better view of certain areas, mainly the arm on the front view and the back on the hind view. With those edits though, I had to make changes to other areas as well to balance out the poses. I've included the original so that you guys can see the comparison. The edits aren't completely finished, but they're at a stage now where it's at least presentable ๐
From there, I've included a bunch of poses that reflect aspects of Cypress's life and personality. The empty spaces are going to be used for text additions, that'll go into some of his backstory and some lore stuff.
Overall, it's gonna be a fairly similar format to Thadaeus's sheet, but just personalized to Cypress. ๐
But that's all for this update. More to come soon!
Thanks again, and enjoy! ๐

So far I only have three in mind. Cypress, Reighli and Tyson, mostly because they may be involved in something later on. Thads did take some time, but that was also due to having to create him from scratch as well. So that designing part lengthened the process quite a bit. Cypress is already made and has had plenty of development, so it shouldnโt take as much time ๐
Taran
Thanks Tobias! Really appreciate that ๐๐

Woo! I was hoping you'd make ref sheets for your main OCs after the Thad one so I'm looking forward to this ๐ (Those pose edits are so seamless and well-done!)

It's cool to see the progress you've made. I like the model; the references make Cypress come alive in your work. Nice work, Taran.
Bleu
How many of these do you plan on doing? I remember you saying Thad took you quite a lot of effort
Eren Yanno
Wow
Taran
WOOOOOOO

Hey, thanks for the support! There are probably a few inconsistencies between the 3d model and this, but I aim to narrow those a bit as I work on it more. With the ๐ specifically, I imagine it could be the lighting and cast shadows ๐ I'll likely fix that later ๐

Hi new subscriber here!. I love this. I noticed something: I wonder if it's the pose or does his ๐ looks beefier here than in the 3d render? Sorry for bad language

Iโm going to add that the ability to both wield an axe and delight in a butterfly is something that I like about this kind of character.

Ok 95% complete, I shall wait for my boy

Iโm really excited for this, because it will help me understand more of what your thoughts are on Minotaur personality. And of course, I will always find Cyprus to be easy on the eyes. Did you know that blue skin/fur looks really attractive to me?
Taran
Also, we'll eventually get to Tyson ๐
Taran
WOOO! Thanks bud! ๐๐๐
