It was an utter nightmare working on those shape keys for the eyelids, seems kinda ok now.
Some thoughts:
>I screwed up the physics for the ears, i gotta learn how make them only bend instead of compressing and stretching and losing all its shape, i'll rework on this later.
>I don't know in which cases the rig is broken and when i'm trying to bend the bones in unnatural ways that would cripple or kill someone in real life.
>UV unwrapping is a fatal weakness of mine, i need to work on this as well.
>Animation seems to look better when you mix some faster snappier movements with the slower, floatier ones.

I animated this today. I keyframed at 15fps then changed to 30fps at the end. Used five animation layers.
>base animation layer for waving and face
>additive layer post infinity cycle to make root controller hover up and down
>physics layer for arms, tits, hair, butt
>copy of right arm base animation on an override layer, keyed to override the physics on that arm during the wave, then back on again after.
>final override layer of all controls set to the first frame, keyed on last frames so the animation loops.

Your mouse is so appealing. I wish more games had your excellent taste. The only thing I would change is move her arm out of the way so we can look at her sidebutt jiggle every time she walks. Maybe she could be smug and walk with her elbows up in the air with her hands resting on the back of her head- that way we can see her butt and her armpits while she walks.

trying to keep everything as a subdivided cube or curve but the legs were too hard to get the exact shape i wanted so i ended up remeshing them a bit
also the collage was an integral part of board culture, its absence is further proof that /3/ (and 4chan as a whole) is long dead. frankly, 4chan culture died around the time that moot left.

you bisected the arms into smaller pieces to represent masses of muscle and bone, but the legs are all one piece. I think they'd benefit from the same treatment. imo

Not that anon, but I can't fault him for simplifying legs because legs are an anatomical nightmare, if you try to do a study you quickly realize what kind of clusterfuck of muscle, bone and ligaments it is, it's really hard to isolate the individual parts of the leg, where do its "pieces" start and end.
I couldn't find a satisfying resource online that could break legs down to its core components so I looked up a shitload of references to make a quick reference study of my own, and even then I still felt the need to simplify at times, more precisely by fusing multiple pieces into "regions" of sorts.
Pic rel is the study I did, to anyone looking feel free to take it, see for yourself whether you'll find it useful or not, just be aware that I'm still learning anatomy despite drawing for over 10 years, artan' is something you never finish learning

Proportions are difficult to judge due to the absence of a humanoid figure in your scene. At a glance they seem alright but we can't tell for certain until an anatomically accurate character is inside your scene for reference

Made a bed, for the diamond pattern I created a procedural material, I think it looks pretty decent.
I need to add some more detail to make it more realistic but I'm happy with the diamond pattern because I didn't have to look any tutorials for it and instead used my previous knowledge to develop it.

there is no wrong way to make an ayylium. if real, they likely developed in a world completely different from ours and would have features beyond our comprehension. you should get weird with it. if i were to offer any critique, i would say it is too humanoid and recognizable.
but then how can you create something beyond your own comprehension? you'd have to be able to comprehend it in order to create it. so don't worry about it too much.

Looks really heavy and tough. I like how the panels are simpler so its not detailed parts everywhere. Are you gonna rig it? Does the design "work" when it tries to walk? Some parts look like they would collide if the tank tried to look left right or walk left right. Seems very forward backward focused, maybe add some cylinders for the legs/gun to give a feeling that it can turn?

Is an ipad for sculpting worth buying? Does sculpting on a screen make it easier to succeed versus sculpting on an old wacom with no screen?
Your alien looks great but the hips are wider than the shoulders so he looks like a breedable xeno girl right now. I would put a girly pink ribbon on the alien's gross long neck. Keep all the monster features, no human-like breasts or any intentional sex appeal, but add one cute pink accessory and people will want to hold her claw on a date. The juxtaposition is what makes it attractive. The chest tentacle's hole in the concept art appeals to the unhinged male id.

Remember how crooked women's legs are. It's a biog part of their figure. The femer and shin to not form a strait line. It doesnt on men either, but it's easier to get away with giving men straight legs.
Especially if youre making a cruvy female, you'll keep making the thighs fatter and fatter but it'll never have the hourglass look. This is the secret.

That parts looks okayish but I don't exactly see what you're trying to do? For cars the lower the polygon count the better. Next time try to make the entire body first, and only then cut out the panels using booleans (after you applied a lvl 3 subsurf) or else your surfaces will have horrible reflections

The goal is to just poly model everything.

The leg should be straight and perfectly vertical, so that the bones can have an IK rig that folds out directly forwards. You can correct the posture during animation.

Ok that's a 700 right? This is a really hard car to start with, seeing the front >>1007576 you did a pretty good job so far, but the side might prove harder.
You should go much more low poly, you can easily delete 2/3 of your vertical lines to get a cleaner mesh while giving you more control. For that specific bump, try using triangles for the pointy part? And then a tight bevel to sharpen the bump's middle edge. Here the squares you have look awkward. N-gons aren't much of an issue on cars anyway.
Here the blue lines with a level 3 subdiv should get you pretty close to the shape you want. The red ones barely matter outside the wheel well.
Still I recommend that if a shutline isn't affecting the surface of the car it should be done last using booleans (the doors for instance).

Yeah, once you're happy with the body panels you apply the subsurf and then the booleans. Do copies of your file before commuting though, cause it never works 1rst try
>what about using bevel and then delete the face?
You can try, but from experience the reflections will have a break around the shut lines (pic related) that you don't get with a clean high poly + booleans
But it's details at this point, your model looks good already, keep going but remember that if you have issues with the panels

Got what I think is solid mesh for the hips and butt at a good density tonight. The torso I think is a good shape, but now needs the consistent quad density of the hips and obviously to be reconnected.
There is one triangle, and I hate it, but can probably get rid of it 1 subdivision level up.

Finally got around to texturing mah low poly-ish (around 2.5k faces) M16 with 80's cheesegrater furniture, custom stock and shorter barrel. Other minor liberties were taken as well.
Texturing progress is at 60%, colors need to be changed as it looks dull at the moment, and height + roughness maps are gonna provide some nice visual upgrades once I'll bake 'em

Don't. Finish the model or with this "start over" mentality you'll never get things actually done, besides your model looks fine and is worth completing. Only by finishing models can you actually improve and it'll feel good seeing how much you've improved looking back at your older models
