Soon to repost on kickstarter

I'm planning to repost this project on kickstarter soon. I've spoken to a few people to get an idea of a price range for things like sound and music and programs.  I hope that if you can't help by donating, you'll at least share the page once it's up.

Maya butterfly model

The last butterfly was made in 3Dsmax. Rather than import to Maya I thought I'd go on and make a new model from scratch as the max model made about 3 years ago actually has a list of issues (her expressions were limited, her eye blinks were more of an editing trick, the cloth was more a stroke of luck to get it to work, and so on).  Now with more knowledge I was able to make a new model and fully rig her in about 4 days.  This model has many improvements I love compared to the other.  a switch for the wings, and facial controls for the left and right so she can raise a brow and smirk unlike the last one.  I'm noticing that as time goes by my 3D characters are becoming toonier.  Wonder where they'll be in a year.

Gertrude and Dana

Having some fun with renders and I thought I'd do one with Gertrude from the Grim along with Dana from Suicide Friends.



Dana model complete

The Suicides Friend's model Dana is complete, along with all her variations of clothing.  I've been posing her to work out any issues and I believe I've fixed all of them.  Now she's ready for animation.  Next I'm making co-star characters (of which there's only one) and then sets and props.

A quick test of the cloth dynamics on Dana's day clothes.  these dynamics will be applied to all of Dana's clothing.

Dana evening wear

Dana has a few changes in outfits, but as much as I can I try to keep her in autumn colors.  All of her clothing has been textured.
