Turntable for reign-2004
Curious, with these trades do you just make a painted sculpt or something along those lines? Or are they properly topologized and rigged? A model like this seems like it would be a lot of work in exchange for a drawing.
They're mostly just painted sculpts! I don't really retopo stuff unless it's requested for a commission. Also I don't compare effort. If I do a trade with someone it's cause I like their art/character.
Ah, that makes sense. ^^ For me, retopologizing, UVs and rigging end up being at least half the process of making a model, so that would cut it down to a more reasonable time frame for an art trade~
There's no real point in me putting in that effort unless it's gonna be used for multiple poses or an animation. If you ever felt like doing a trade I'd absolutely love to model your character again. I'm a tad full up on commissions and trades, so it would be a bit, but I'd still love to give it another go!
I actually rather like the stylistic direction you took with this; the proportions in particular seem to be a bit different than usual. :D That could just be me, though; I'm kinda comparing with the stuff you did a long while back (when you were still mostly working in Blender…?). xD

This singlehandedly makes me want to try 3d. How long did it take you to get this good? Did you have to take classes? Bravo.
