having to go off my birth control for a few days so I can try swapping to a different mix and I think the change to my hormones is giving me crazy anxiety

not in love with this but it honestly might just have to be good enough at this point

˚ ⋆✧Jack✧⋆˚(they/them) @thejadephoenix.bsky.social · 3d

Blusky will not let me post a link rn but i posted a new fire and shadow page on my comicfury

˚ ⋆✧Jack✧⋆˚(they/them) @thejadephoenix.bsky.social · 4d

don't know how I didn't notice the normals on the back of her bottom set of horns were backwards in that pic, but they are also fixed now

˚ ⋆✧Jack✧⋆˚(they/them) @thejadephoenix.bsky.social · 4d

oh also I lightened her base color very slightly so you could actually see her patterns better

˚ ⋆✧Jack✧⋆˚(they/them) @thejadephoenix.bsky.social · 4d

okay tweaked and fixed up some things between just chill gaming, cleaned up the uvs on her face so there's less clipping and her patterns don't stretch out like they were

also something no one will see lmao, I used the specular lighting to give her spines a very slight crystal texture

thank yoooouuuu! honestly makes me feel a lot better at having made this model like 2 and a half years ago

IT WAS ALL WORTH IT

˚ ⋆✧Jack✧⋆˚(they/them) @thejadephoenix.bsky.social · 4d

ah her cheeks are just lightly clipping w her eyes at certain points

easy fix at least, I'll just either pull them back or chub her cheeks up a little w the next edit

only thing that still isn't working is the underwater version of the superflame powerup for some reason, even tho I named it properly, but I wanted to change the look and sound of her flame to an electric breath at some point anyway so I'll probably just fix it then

pretty badass to see this working after all this time (worst part is I still don't know what broke it, the thing just,,, started working)

oh no i'm an idiot i just needed to delete the skeleton file lmao

anyway I still need to actually put together the material file but hey finally past the point I previously got stuck at

˚ ⋆✧Jack✧⋆˚(they/them) @thejadephoenix.bsky.social · 4d

what's weird is everything above the neck seems to be fine? I know for a fact it's not the actual rigging because it looks and animates fine in blender I think something just went wrong either exporting the fbx or importing that fbx into unreal

˚ ⋆✧Jack✧⋆˚(they/them) @thejadephoenix.bsky.social · 4d

since I was feeling like shit and couldn't get myself to do art I took one last stab at spyro reigniting modding (since I already have the assets for that) and uuuhh I finally got the model animating in the game but

huh

*already had designs

apparently my brain melting today extends to not being able to fucking type

˚ ⋆✧Jack✧⋆˚(they/them) @thejadephoenix.bsky.social · 6d

could NOT model today (my brain was not working w me) so instead I finished up lining and coloring these refs of some avalar friends, most of them technically already designs for fire and shadow but they were pretty old and my art and designs have really improved since then

I hate that neopets got me wanting to spell fairy like "faerie" in my damn spyro refs

˚ ⋆✧Jack✧⋆˚(they/them) @thejadephoenix.bsky.social · 6d

i might have to step back for today, this genuinely looks like dogshit and I have no idea how to broach this

˚ ⋆✧Jack✧⋆˚(they/them) @thejadephoenix.bsky.social · 6d

realizing very quickly I have no clue how to model feathers and make them look alright
