Sometimes you just gotta draw your OCs in pretty dresses

Also agender pride! Character goes by they/them pronouns

Yee heckin haw, guess who learned how to make stylized shaders that can use multiple light sources? It is I!
I needed to update my shader anyways since my previous one is like 9 months old and I had like 0 experience with Blender EEVEE back then.

Part 1 of Lightning Boy Studio’s toon shader tutorials over on YouTube explains how to use multiple lights, but the quick explanation is you have a pure red, green, and blue light, use a shader to RGB, separate RGB, and then use the separated channels as inputs for different parts of your shader. I recommend watching all the tutorials though, there’s some super neat tricks throughout!

I also added some very novice manual normal editing on her face. It’s probably easiest to notice when she’s turning into the shadows. The shading looks a little more smooth and intentionally placed, like in 2D art. Looks super crusty in viewport, but nice in the renders!

How come all my best topology jobs are from when I’m like, “Let’s just retopologize this face sculpt real quick so I can texture it without dying inside,” instead of when I’m actually trying? 😩 I mostly just wanted to focus on her head and hair, hence the plain bust from the neck down.

Jokingly complaining aside, here’s my OC Maverie again! If you couldn’t tell by her being the only OC I’ve drawn in the past few months, I’ve become attached to her character like static electrically-charged saran wrap. I’m just a sucker for soft, fluffy characters, it seems.

I think I’ll try to include wireframe renders for most of my 3D stuff from now on. Partly so I can show off my behind the scenes work, and partly because I’m a nosy bastard when it comes to 3D modeling stuff, so I’m paying it forward to my fellow nosy modelers, ahaha

I think I’ve gotten stuck in a trap where if I can’t think of something interesting or dynamic to draw character(s) doing, then I just don’t draw. And since I’ve had exactly zero ideas for the past, like, two months, here’s just a plain ol drawing of Maverie in an alternate outfit so I don’t get too rusty :’)

I gave Maverie a lil snoot, because unlike my other noseless characters, it doesn’t really make sense for her not to have one? Linnet and Kobi are synthetic lifeforms who need less oxygen, Makana’s amphibious, Sylvia has something akin to spiracles, and Squid’s… a special case, but not having a nose as a typical mammal would be inconvenient, lol

Man, I still love characters with impossibly fluffy hair
