Working on the ship more, gotta have a toilet right? Untextured hyena lady for scale.
Also I can do bryce style shit now. This doesn’t really help my aspirations in games or VRChat but it’s cool.
somebody on the zzt discord brought up star trek iv (the one with whales), which led to me making this:
Reference Images
the driver is based off of the whale player avatar from ZoZ (drawn by “The Green Herring”)
the girl in the center is Keyko from my friend snorb’s ZZT series. i just based her off the image i made in this post upthread, but i arbitrarily decided she was wearing a crop top this time
no idea who that girl on the right is
While working on another project I got curious and went down a long road that eventually lead to making renders that looked like fake adventure game screenshots (full rez renders below)
The actual purpose of enviroment is making a VRChat world, as I’ve mentioned a few times, and I actually uploaded it and took a couple screens of that too:
i was like “a little too much Latter Day Saints?”
i mean, that was the joke in the first place
my beetle mecha render for some kinda rpgmaker game
Continuing my theme of attempting to evoke Myst aesthetics, here is what I hope I will be using as my video screen for the quarry cliff world I’m building.
i’ve been working on ideas for a fleshy mech rpg for ages – i don’t actually have time or space to do dev work, but it’s fun to just ideate a bunch with no deadline.
anyway so i’ve been trying to work out what these fleshy mechs should look like. i knew i wanted players to look out of the mouth while piloting (a la this demo i made a while back), and i wanted the mechs to be fat. but apart from that the only other driving detail is that i want people to have sex in/with the mechs. idk why but it just felt important. so i want them to be kinda sexy too. or at least erotically charged, if not attractive in a conventional sense.
i’ve done heaps of drawings of these fleshy mechs over the last few years but i haven’t posted them anywhere so here’s a bunch of them in one big go:
i don’t even know if i like where i’ve ended up, but the latest design is compelling and fulfills my criteria pretty well imo. i’m sure i’ll change my mind and mess around more.
Y’know, the annoying thing about this is this isn’t even really the final! And I know I keep tweaking this but I keep finding imperfections with the mesh (INCLUDING THIS TIME) but I’m also figuring out texturing better and perfectly nailed whatever the hell that weird scratchy brass look all that shit in the late 90s had.
I’m feeling extremely powerful now.
And one last immediate addition: Here it is in unity with some light baking so I actually know what this is going to look like for real (albeit with much less dramatic lighting probably)
