Floating in a Dream

Description

ZOMG, is it an actual submission from me?!?!? Wow, I need to get on here more often. Heh.

Well, since a friend helped me get Blender running smoothly on my computer (turns out all I needed to do was update my graphics card drivers), I'm finally taking the initiative to learn how to use the software. So, a demonstration of rigging, posing, and rendering using my premade model of Kitty the Hedghehog. The textures of the model still need some work, but it's getting there. And at least I can find my way around the Blender interface now.

So, the only postwork on this guy was adding the white background and my sig. I forgot to turn off the feather when I selected the blue background to delete, but I liked the effect and thought it looked dreamlike (hence the title).

Well, I'll cut off this description before I bore y'all to tears.

Honestly, this isn''t very good. The hands are good, but the arms look to fragile and still. The ears are to pointed. The eyelashes.... where are the eyelashes? In the games they have a mouth. And the shoes, all I have to say is"the shoes".

This was kind of a slapped-together made-up-as-I-went-along pose to test the posing in 3d. The ears... That's the way I do ears. The eyelashes are one of the things that still need work (but they're there if you look hard enough. :P) The mouth is another texture issue (the way I mapped the texture, if I try to put a mouth in the tex, I end up with two! Still trying to solve that problem...).

The shoes I'm not too happy with either. But, I'm still pretty much a n00b when it comes to 3d posing so... Well, I didn't learn to draw overnight, I figure these skills will come with practice. Thanks for your input, though, it's observations like those that help me recognize my shortcomings and work to improve them on the next one.

I''m sorry if I offended you, but the way I got better wass my brothers told me I sucked...

No worries. I''m glad that you had the courage to say something. I encounter waay too many people these days who would look at a scribble and say "Wow that''s amazing you''re so awesome!". I treasure comments like yours because I can learn and gain something from them.
