• Update Regarding figure plans

    So here’s the plan going forward..

    Current Figures…

    Yknow how I said last time that these 12 are the definitive figures- bullshit
    Not gonna start from scratch again but I’ll definitely go ahead and edit these down to a level I’m comfortable and happy with , stuff like hair nodes , some odd connections (see stuff like Cassidy’s head to neck connection) , hands and feet in order to make them more flexible and easier to animate with

    Bases

    Before moving into making the 360’s , I want to first rework basically all of their bases , aka the nakey , only got shorts and a tank top version of the figures. Base versions are made essentially for ease of scaling and also to make it easier to make more outfits in the future

    The 360’s…

    Previously I scrapped the idea of a true 360 for the sole fact that I wasn’t good at 45 degree figures and that taking on 8 sets of multiple figures just to make up one single character , seemed like a task far too big to go through with
    (And tbh it logically is , having to use 18-24 figures and sprites , alongside a movieclip for mouths , is pretty heavy on any device and work flow)
    But I’ve decided that if this is truly going to be my hobby
    I’m going to do everything I can that makes me happy

    This series unfortunately isn’t something on a tight schedule as of now , I don’t know when I’ll truly work on it , and if it’s even within a near future as of now
    I’m not saying working on the series itself isn’t making me happy I’m saying I want to work on a ton of stuff that’ll lead up to it , including bringing back 45’s into the mix
    Working on the Adira vs Adraik animation has been fun , it’s messy and has no plan but it’s my first attempt at making an actual animation , I never made an idea board as to what it would end up being , I’m going into it overall blind
    But one thing that’s stuck out to me is how front and back views aren’t gonna cut it for what I want to accomplish
    So yea I’ll do 45 degree figures as well
    Other Characters

    Finally when it comes to ending this saga of figures , I’ll throw more characters into the mix
    Malik , Markus , Moddar , Ura , Siege , Stryker , Immolater , Barron , The Emperor , Dieter , Roy , Fear monger
    I do want to make many more characters , and even if these figures eventually won’t even be used for the start of the series and by the time I reach the point in where they’d be used , they may be outdated for my skills or even their designs
    Fuck it , I’m doing this for fun

    • When it comes to edits that’ll be made to the current figures and styles

      Feet and hands , some hair and head changes , and overall synchronizing between figures , are the overall ideas I have in mind for now , nothing too major other than polish ups

      I still plan on working on the new years poster but that’ll alongside my personal projects

        While I did take an embarrassing amount of time to make the 12

        I blame that on 3 things
        Time , style , and life

        Honestly ? Sauzer and Natasha are probably the hardest figures I’ve done overall yet I got both out within 5 days (of actually working on them tho Natasha I had to pause a TON OF TIMES) , and editing Natasha only took a single day
        As long as I play it smarter this time around , I’m good

        Finding my style was also hard
        Compare the first version of Ellie to the newest is oddly night and day
        The figures are more sleek , flexible , and clear in designs

        Only true problem is , life
        Which honestly is the only problem that not only can’t I control , it gets better and worse at random
        I’m confident I got get shit down faster going forward
        but , that’s life
