I should try eating just burgers for a week and see where that takes me

Mind you burgers only no fries no sugary drinks etc

Like, breakfast, a burger, dinner, a burger, mid morning snack, a burger (and black coffee)

Yesterday: "man this hairstyle is stupid even for anime"

Today: "let's lean into the stupid"

I dread to see how it'll look like once I make it into cards

Like, 'okay, give her a headdress and make her hair look like a pair of horns to go with her theme,and then a HUGE ponytail', but at one point you have to stop and ask yourself just how much hair that would require

Riccardo M @rikard86.bsky.social · 2d

Ah, to be a character designer for JRPGs in the early 2000s and never being told HEY THIS HAIR DOESN'T WORK IN 3D WHAT ARE YOU DOING

Well everything's working so far, time to go through the shader so I can implement some of the parameters I had on the old one like the makeup layers and some of the old textures

WHY DOES THIS THING USE MY SYSTEM DRIVE

Riccardo M @rikard86.bsky.social · 7d

Well wish me good luck i'm gonna try to make her into a Metahuman rig lmao

Riccardo M @rikard86.bsky.social · 8d

btw reminder that i still have this character to finish since months ago and now it's the only time i can actually do so without my PC catching fire

I'm so tempted to just scrap all the clothing and stuff i've done and reuse her as a base for something else, already have half an idea frankly
