Ive been working on this for a while, but wanted to get it finnished ASAP. Seeing the Freestyle renders on Blender Nation made me get this out there as it might soon be out of date.
This was more of a project creating a “Cell Shade” effect, But i fell in love with this Scarlet charicter i was creating and had to finnish it and it bacame part of this project.
The Charicter is Fanart for a web comic called SequentialArt: Link
Its funny you should mention the clothing, in the WIP this came up too. It was weird when she had no cloths everyone just excepted that she was a squirrel girl and said nothing. But once she was wearing the T Shirt and pants then all of a sudden people started saying she was wearing too little! If she was wearing nothing i dont think it would have gotten noticed. Its the fact what she is wearing is Uhmm… naughty
I think that combined with the fact that she is very innocent makes you feel bad for looking and then you wont to cover her up!
Great piece there, and great thanks for the link to the comic. Read through it all and loved every second of it. I think you captured scarlet quite well.
Surt:
“Do you realise that the eye’s are showing through the head-tentacles?”
Yes they are supposed too, like in the cartoons. But do they realy look like tentacles, are they that bad?
Denshidan:
Yes thankyou, Ive posted it on his webcomics forum.
Rocketman:
This was meant to be just a Cell Shade filter, but i do love this Scarlet character so i might do one in the future!
MukiEX:
Thanks for the C&C, looks like i might have to rework the hair.
VectorVandal:
Sweet hope you get some good results!
Hiower:
Thankyou and your welcome.
Its realy wierd some pepole seem to think she is “Cute” and others seem to get “freaked out!” is this an uncanny vally problem or is it something else im missing?
Not that bad, that bit was half-joke, but their shading does reveal them as solid tubes. I’d be inclined to give them a strand-suggesting texture on nor, or turn off specular all together.
The eye are done by just using a white disk that can be manuely pointed at the light source in the same way you point the eyes at what you are looking at
