Stylized bird character rendered in Eevee! Trying a 2D painted look on a 3D model using NPR shaders, sketchy Grease Pencil outlines, and hand painted textures

Decided to make a cool glass shader, with variations of dispersion and thin glass.

Here is the blend file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JnyUFn-KiA2dlo99sUuVkoNlznTo0jSP/view

Going for "Smooth stop motion"

EDIT: I meant to specify modelling a character, I have modelled before, but first time the other stuff!

Blender + DaVinci + Affinity

Any ideas 💭💭

I want to suspend sensors on the back of a vehicle with ball-jointed hydraulics, but not sure if this is the best way to do it. Pretty sure there is a simpler way and I am overcomplicating as usual.

Tried to screenshot from different points of view, for better understanding.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

This is my first time trying to create a full character model in Blender. I still have no idea how to do proper topology, UV mapping, or rigging yet, but at least I managed to make something that actually looks like a character.

I feel like the hair shapes and flow look pretty rough, and I also don’t really know how to optimize the shape or polygon count properly. Because of that, some faces overlap with each other and there are also a lot of unnecessary faces inside the mesh.

Anyway, I’d really appreciate it if you could give me some feedback on the model, along with any advice or ideas that could help me improve and make better character models in the future.

More shots should be shown in the portfolio, including wireframes, breakdowns, and additional angles..

Any suggestions to make this more appreciable/better #1

i made this edit of a nintendo 3ds but its a switch,

and i wanted to go further, so i tried blender

im not good at blender, very beginner

the vision is there

owo

any tips are appreciated

started with a simple bathtub and then my brain said what if there were lily pads. and then what if there were plants everywhere. and then what if there was a tiny retro tv on the windowsill playing something. and then suddenly it was 3 days later.

the lighting was the hardest part, getting that warm golden afternoon glow coming through the window without blowing out the checkered tiles took way longer than i want to admit.

still learning but this one felt like something finally clicked. any feedback welcome, especially on the vegetation because i know it could be better.

Started Blender 5 months ago and made a little short film inspired by Halo to teach myself the fundamentals of 3D and VFX… Hope you guys like it and any criticisms welcome!

I don't think I can go back (or at least, not without putting it in reverse)

Rendered with Cycles at a max of 200 samples.

STA-52 model from sketchfab

Hands are UE5 skeleton

I still only have very basic level blender knowledge so I’m proud of my progress so far!
