Another experimental idea to recreate 2D stylized character in 3D. Not in my typical style of big scary lizard gals, but this type is easier to texture. I took Photonoko's character from his latest artwork (I hope I won't be destroyed by copyrights). Was doing this model for the last 10 days (feels like month have passed) and it may take another 2-3 days before public release. Also, having real life problems right now, so much stuff to do, I think after July 15th I'll be free as before.
About the model. You may see some proportional imperfections in comparison with the original drawing. I did my best to copy most of the details from the original drawing. The original artist made some weird style decisions as making scales rough, but underskin smooth in some places, usually you do the opposite. And his glossy parts sometimes look weird that I cannot fully recreate them with my pbr texturing knowledge. The model may look too smooth, but check diff and rough textures and see how much detail in there.
How much time it will take to finish? Probably 2-3 full working days. I need to change pussy texture smoothness and some details on the body. Roughness in blender and substance looks different and I'm losing some details because of it. I need to add emissive dots across the body and prepare emission shading for dudes who likes glowing eyes/pussy. The model is not rigged right now, and after rigging, mouth have to be textured. Because I'm making this model for public release I need to make some shape keys for those who cannot make them by themselves. And there will be two variations of the eyeballs: with cornea and flat sphere (or maybe only one :) ). A lot of stuff to do plus real life bullshit may stretch this work for a long time. If I won't be able to finish this in 3 days I make another quick render with argonian. But in other way I'll animate this model (maybe another experimental #presenting loop???)
If everything goes great after model release I'm updating with monthly votes for renders by the public and animations by patrons (yeah, I still think that's fair idea) and maybe start taking commissions. Tell me what do you think about it!
