Discord Extras {March 2022}

Welcome everyone to your monthly Patreon Update! ^_^

Not many projects last month given the current state of things, I have been either away from home or having my face stuck to the TV far more than usual. That being said, I've been fighting the drain of both my mental/emotional energy and my focus. It's probably effecting all of us in some way or another, but we shall all overcome! Its my hope that the Art I have shared and will share will bring some retreat from the times. ^_^

Now lets get to the Art shall we? ^_^

Most of whats here is part of my First 3D art commission for a close friend of mine at the start of the month! The first commission of a piece of what I call "Art" anyways that is not what I'd consider just a 3D model!

This project was a lot of fun and allowed me to explore some concepts I haven't got to in the past, especially the creation of a piece which incorporated both Natural and man-made/sci-fi elements visually into one piece! ^o^

These two images are alternate versions of the main commission. The first is probably my Favorite of the two, I wanted to recreate that old 90s TV style look, as if it could have been from an episode of Star Trek The Next Generation or some other similar Series of that era. I have quite a connection to the Whole Star Trek series, in particular TNG because it released very near the day of my birth. My Mother was actually watching it with me on her chest in the hospital room :P I also really like the overall aesthetic, TV in the old days looked so much softer, intimate and warm, unlike the TVs now a days which burn the eyes out of your skull. lol

A bonus Portrait of their character I created for the commissioner free of charge. The greatest thing about 3D art is once you have the Assets created you can pretty much create tons of art within minutes with little effort! ^_^

Two props I created for the Commission Project, a Native American Flute and Bracelet.

Naval Uniform, I created for the same project. The design was left up to me so I took some artistic freedom in some places to incorporate some Native American Motifs into the design. Creating 3D Models of clothing is something I am still trying to get good at, I can whip together a Prop or sculpt a Character model quickly and easily but still struggle with clothing, in particular in the texturing field (Well, I'm sort of bad at texturing in general atm truth be told lol). I'd consider this one of my best clothing models to date though for sure! ^_^

This guy is my most recent project, I was really feeling like doing something unique and interesting. So I dug up some old concepts I had for an Anthro Pink Salmon and decided to make a 3D model of him. You may remember him from some of my old TF art posts on here. ^_^ I really love how he turned out, both visually and conceptually! Just need to do a little more work perfecting his texture maps.

This was a small side project I started. Wanted to create a simplified, low impact, and compact, breathing assisting apparatus for Aquatic creatures with gills similar in design to a Human oxygen Respirator.  One of the many unique tools used by The Morphological Institute in my fictional story world setting. ^_^

How it works: 

Water is sent through the mouth tube into the throat where it spays water towards and through the gills, which is then caught by the "neck masks" which are extremely flexible and adhered to the Neck with a waterproof medical grade adhesive. The water is then sucked out of the masks and sent to a holding tank Similar to a oxygen tank or re-breather where its recycled, oxidized, and recirculated.

Nothing really special here, just a little thing I put together to use as a profile banner on Discord. :P

This is just another fur test I did earlier this week. Tried some more setting adjustments and texture map types to try and get more realistic looking fur in Daz Studio, Still not exactly what I want to see in the end but its an improvement! ^_^

All this, was of course, originally posted at the Wilderness Discord  Community over the course of the past month, a lot of these projects  were streamed there as well, I try to stream as much as I can during the  later part of the day (7pm-4am PST), during the later half of each  month (15th-Onward). If you are not a Member yet and would like to  become one, catch my streams, or just hang out with myself and people of  like mind here is your link to join! https://discord.gg/9RtA2ec

Thanks again everyone! I could never thank you all enough for the support you've so generously decided to give me!^_^
