The new and improved Theresa! #RekiraTheSuperMonster #DynamicHeralds #Blender #characterdesign #superheroine
I finished retopologizing Verena’s head a couple of hours ago, and the result is so much more refined. The boyish pixie bob cut is so much better, though I can do slight work on the bangs of her long bob hair. #RekiraTheSuperMonster #DynamicHeralds #Blender #characterdesign #superheroine
I just finished retopologizing Raitaro’s head in Blender, with more satisfying results! It looks much better. I also studied Go Mifune/Speed Racer’s eyebrows for the desired brow shape. #RekiraTheSuperMonster #DynamicHeralds #characterdesign #Blender
There should be an “n” added in that brand name. 🤭 #TADC #TheAmazingDigitalCircus #Pomni
I’m so glad to have borrowed and read this book from the library; THE BEATLES: THE BBC ARCHIVES (1962-1970)! About the different TV and radio interviews and performances that the Beatles did with the BBC. Fascinating, funny, even poignant stories.
Dr. Freston is complete! #rekirathesupermonster #dynamicheralds #character #blender
Brian is complete! More wardrobe next! I love Brian’s stylized new look (especially the nose). I ultimately decided on a moptop hairstyle, to complement the intended Jughead/Peter Tork/Joel Hodgson look. #rekirathesupermonster #dynamicheralds #character #blender
Main characters from REKIRA THE SUPER-MONSTER, pencil/Micron/Tombow Fudenosuke pen drawing on Bristol. Both without and with pencil references, the latter being a must for best results. #rekirathesupermonster #characterdesign
New version of Theresa is complete! I’ll be finishing the rest of her wardrobe tomorrow! #rekirathesupermonster #dynamicheralds #character #blender
Isaiah is complete! Looking great! Next: The rest of his wardrobe, including his superhero suit! #rekirathesupermonster #dynamicheralds #character #superhero #blender
Dengekid - henshin complete! (Lighting test) #rekirathesupermonster #dynamicheralds #character #superhero #blender
Dengekid pencil sketch! #rekirathesupermonster #dynamicheralds #characterdesign #superhero
Captain Vertex - suit & pose test. #rekirathesupermonster #dynamicheralds #character #superhero #blender
Figure completed: The new version of Raymond! Just as good as the previous version (and managed to nail it in a simpler style)! #RekiraTheSuperMonster #dynamicheralds #blender #character
All in a night’s work for John Cassidy. A small glimpse into my texture technique (on FireAlpaca from a UV map), and rigging on Blender. #rekirathesupermonster #dynamicheralds #character #blender
Beat & Mod Verena, dress tests. #rekirathesupermonster #dynamicheralds #character #blender
