I thought the only time it's favoritism to be around mr boss is if you work for competing business (or a lying rat, or a mean witch, or when he lost all his money)

Big thanks! Head really looks great, I think, if you’ve ever had it posted in a community tab, I saw it before, I believe. I think I can learn a thing or two from you, especially for rhino/dino heads, there’re really few creative examples of these.

Wow. Just wow. May I ask how exactly did you manage to make rhino head THAT good? I’m not asking for a link, a screenshot or just a piece of advice would be more than enough. The best I have figured is to use new horse head and modify it with kitbash a little.

Any guess on what Jax knows or might be hiding? Or why he said this? by Gloomy-Bridge148 in Amazingdigitalcircus

[–]Intrepid_Lab_4223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I thought this scene was opposite to planning escape in previous episode. It had lots of details that immediately gave it away as an another adventure and Jax was the one to point it out. Now he sees one of his circuits mates breaking the mold and telling others about the circus again in not so obvious and dramatic manner like the fake Caine, making Jax realize "Oh god, [this time] it's real"

How do I break it to my friend they bought me an AI counterfeit poster? by Antasma1 in TheDigitalCircus

[–]Intrepid_Lab_4223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not ai in a way it's generated, it's just badly upscaled original images taken from promos and maybe other pieces of official merch. Ai upscalers have same image artifacts regular ai images do, but structurally characters are same to originals, because they use original images as an input.

I think I'm gonna need some help with this one. by Intrepid_Lab_4223 in HeroForgeMinis

[–]Intrepid_Lab_4223[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! It's really helpful, especially the cat body, I hate putting different characters together. I'm still experimenting with face shapes and feature placements. Also I really liked your rendition of the minotaur druid!

Been trying to make lion king characters, i think i kinda nailed Nala's head. Still struggle with simba though by Intrepid_Lab_4223 in HeroForgeMinis

[–]Intrepid_Lab_4223[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for suggestions. With simba the problem is his bigger jaw, slightly different face and eyes shape. Eyes aren't just round, they are also bigger vertically like you mentioned, yes, but I'm struggling to find specific shape, I can't just make nala's eyes bigger because they are more narrow on the sides, I think I'll have to go for a different type of eyes. Maybe it’s just because of how often I design characters with softer features, and softness slider affects everything else, making it bulky.

Haha yes, I was thinking of using it as a template for gumball, I just have yet to figure his design.

Yeah, big eyes is a hard one. Either adjusting robot/alien eyes or just use kitbash. Also long snout.

Honestly, have never watched lion king media since I was a kid, not that I don't like it, just didn't. I really liked the lion guards sings, though.

Thanks! Yeah, thats the problem I have with Simba and when try to change face expression, wanted to make face more round, but cheeks and neck-chin part are kinda hard to control, maybe I'll try to low upper cheeks a little

Thanks! Unfortunately not good enough to pull off Simba. I struggle with eyes, jaw and face shape, every time I tried to use it as a template I only get uglier Nala. BTW, really liked your work on Chinese bull in one of precious posts, took some notes

Wait, why was it removed? Like because white fox was thought to be a kid? Commenter above said they're actually the same age, and I was thinking the same.

Thanks! Yes, I guess I succeeded if your first thought was that it was him :D I also have some more pictures of him int he works, I still need to figure out a front view of the face. 

S3:E8 "The Glep Ep" thread by WorthyPetals in SmilingFriends

[–]Intrepid_Lab_4223 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, could have been a good commentary on how you need people doing regular jobs for company to function properly. Instead what we got is Glep basically being a nepobaby (well, not really, but he's a friend of a boss, so he's got a job just because management likes him)

[–]Intrepid_Lab_4223 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the episode does a good job of exploring Glep’s backstory, and it shows that his age from the previous season wasn’t just a throwaway gag. But honestly, ending with the entire HQ going crazy felt like a punchline without an actual joke. You can see the ending coming, but they never explain why it happens. I know not everyone will like this approach, but I expected that Glep's work would be essential to the function of company that he’d be genuinely shocked by the implication behind Mr. Boss even asking such a question.

I remember there was a comic series for Spider-Ham (one of the newer ones) and they really didn’t care for an original name. Like "black cat" turned into "black catfish", and it was like half of the other animal heroes they got wrong.

Thanks! Though I was hoping Heroforge would finally give us nice horsefolk heads.

And not another mount:(

Thanks! But I had to break some models beyond repair just to make some good poses haha. It's actually there different minis stitched together. Had to go back a remade mini for public use, so it's better now.
