A 3D render of a blocky architectural reinforcement, with a heavy concrete pillar and a thinner section of coppery metal as a flying buttress. It appears covered in gritty dirt.

some sort of sci-fi detailing asset. mainly practice with #texturePainting

3D render of a repeating row of abstract architectural features. They appear made of concrete and coppery metal, and are covered in gritty dirt and grime.

Almost done! Just need to fix up the skirt (tried a design, it didn't work like I wanted lol) and adjust the boots and then on to rigging! yay...

#blender #3dmodelling #characterdesign #fae #fairyart #blender3d #texturepainting #faecharacter #art #digitalart

A blue-skinned fairy with grey and red eyeshadow, purple eyes, and blue lips and hair stands in front of a grey background. They have a fishnet shirt and stockings and black armbands with green sleeves that reach to their wrists. The sleeves have light purple flowers on them and are open at the elbow crease. The character has a lilac-coloured blouse with black branches on it and a layered seafoam green skirt. They have iridescent rainbow wings with multicoloured jewels hanging from the top edges on each side. The character wears a leather choker with a crow skull and black boots with seafoam green leaf designs.

A close-up of the character's boots. The boots are striped on the edges, have eyelets drawn on, and purple laces. There are branching leaf patterns on each side, and on the outside a large crescent moon and flower design. On the inside of the shoes are two small crescent moons on either side of a red rose and a lilac rose. The side of the shoes' soles are striped, and the character's fishnet stockings can be seen coming out of the boots.

Realized it been a while since I posted art. With all the A* thief stuff, I had kinda gotten out of practice of posting things. 🫠

I unwrapped and textured Sprout and she looked great. Except because I’m used to texturing in substance painter, I didn’t know that texture paint doesn’t save normally in blender so now it’s all gone. I’ll redo it soon

#AIAugust 16 Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison
Through the Grain
A portrait that stares back—layered in texture, thought, and silence.
#artportrait #texturepainting #moodyart #contemporaryart #GenAI #SynthArt #AIart #aiartist #aiartcommunity #GenerativeArt #AIchallenge #BuilderofNightmares

A textured, painterly portrait of a person rendered with a raw, almost carved effect that emphasizes brushstrokes and layered pigments. The subject is shown from the shoulders up, leaning slightly forward with one hand resting against the chin in a contemplative pose. Their lips are pressed together, half-shadowed, while piercing eyes gaze directly outward with an intensity that feels both questioning and unyielding. The skin is painted in rough tones of pale cream, peach, and muted orange, overlaid with weathered textures that resemble wood grain or worn canvas. Golden-brown curls frame the face, mixing with streaks of blue, gray, and ochre paint that break into abstract flourishes. The background is split into bold swaths of color—soft turquoise on the left, dark shadow through the center, and rich red on the right—creating a sense of duality and tension. The overall effect is haunting and introspective, as if the viewer has been caught in the middle of the subject’s private reverie.

Keywords:
portrait, painting, textured, contemplative, brushstrokes, intense gaze, abstract background, woodgrain effect, curls, dual colors, moody, expression

Make it a Triple Games

@ranarh.bsky.social

Did I mention my first 3D jam game is in the making? The Lemon Orchard will be a liminal setting. I was afraid of 3D assets but it turns out Blender can do everything and make it look easy :)

Almost there

#TexturePainting in #Blender is certainly interesting, but then again this is my first time making textures rather than using materials.

If anybody has tips for making textures for low poly models I'd very much appreciate it!

Lately I started learning blender to help me with some comic creation stuff (specifically I want to be able to block out reoccurring backgrounds). Really love picking up new skilsl next to drawing and today I jumped into texturepainting and Rekorm FINALLY gets a real tattoo design :D

WIP.
Almost finished texturing the hubworld for our game at @highonneko.bsky.social
For now the plan is to use the map for the game (use lower texture resolutions) and for my personal animations. Thats the idea for now.
