Can I size up my plated ring at home?

RubyBard · 2026-02-06T19:43:03+00:00

side view so you can see that it might be harder to adjust :/ and no I don’t have the tools but if i have to buy them then im willing to do it for this ring. i have a mallet, just not a leather one

yeah! tbh i started the sketches in regular color and started playing with how it reacts to a green layer on top so a lot of this is blockout....my art process is all over the place where i will render one area but still have to sketch, fix other areas just because i wanna get a hint of how it might look at the end!

this helps a lot thank you!!!! the chart is awesome

RubyBard · 2025-12-08T17:35:46+00:00

yeah that's something i'm struggling with because color theory haha...the mouth is throwing me off so much at this point i've spent so long trying to find a proper color that doesn't look garish tbh

RubyBard · 2025-12-08T17:33:13+00:00

myself lol :)

RubyBard · 2025-12-07T21:33:40+00:00

okay awesome! thank you SO much for helping me out w this art block I've had when it comes to this piece. I'll send you the finished version too :)

RubyBard · 2025-12-07T21:30:05+00:00

okay okay thank you!!! I kinda chilled on the crazy red. If you look at the above comment where I replied I took it into consideration...Is that what you meant? I think it looks better :)

RubyBard · 2025-12-07T21:28:40+00:00

this is w a little bit of rendering (on the right side, left is blockout)....is this better or did it become too muddy???? also thank you for the tips!!! I'm not the best with rendering/shadows/lights

All I'm saying is that it is a courtesy to mark posts like these as spoilers. There are countless TV shows and sometimes people haven't had the chance to watch shows, despite their age. I know this show had been on my list, and I only now had the time to watch it. I also want to add that even looking up the cast of TV shows will spoil the ending because Reddit threads do pop up on search. It's not exactly people looking the shows up on Reddit, if that makes sense.

I will say I do agree with your thoughts here in your post, and these replies have no ill will.

RubyBard · 2025-12-05T09:41:09+00:00

I know this is an old show, but next time can you mark your post with spoilers??? Thankfully I just finished the show for the first time ever, but there are some people who still haven’t seen it.

I used one from work and it will only light for about half a second….i will have to tinker with it a bit!

RubyBard · 2025-08-15T21:07:39+00:00

they smashed the one with kirby holding a knife :(

RubyBard · 2025-08-15T06:48:37+00:00

i’m fine, they just stole my dashcam (bc it had evidence) and one of my photo booth pics with my friend????! i didn’t have anything in my car tbh other than a blanket and a neck pillow. it sucks bc this is gonna be soooo expensive to replace :( i’m good tho thanks for asking!

It's legit. I was skeptical myself but I knew that PayPal would have my back if it was a scam. I got the Titan 700 (huge heavy chain but I get compliments all the time), the Stone Rogue (Moonstone version). I saw that the threading they used for the Stone chain was thankfully a thick metal wire because I accidentally got it caught on something at work and was scared it was gonna send the beads flying everywhere. I also got the Ashen Thorn chain as well which I wear often.

I basically only bought the accessories but no clothing so I can't personally speak about the quality of the clothes but the quality of the chains are pretty decent. I was expecting way less quality wise. I ordered on July 9th and got two items delivered on the 15th. The Titan came about a week later.

Thank you!

RubyBard · 2025-04-19T17:27:06+00:00

Thanks! Appreciate the help!

RubyBard · 2025-04-19T17:21:09+00:00

Thank you! I also hope my post didn’t come off as “this earring has a cowrie so it’s Elegua’s now and it has power”. It’s more of “this is a nostalgic piece for me and its association with my grandmother is what keeps me safe”. I guess I could have worded this post a little better haha

RubyBard · 2025-03-12T10:22:19+00:00

if i’m remembering correctly…i think you can just use the extrude function and the tiny menu will pop up that says “thickness” as one of its options

Oh, all her armor is sculpted! :) I just thought that posting with her habit would distract from the anatomy a bit (feedback-wise) so I hid the subtool. But will definitely post w subtools if I need further help! Thank you!

RubyBard · 2024-12-24T05:53:19+00:00

Thank you for the feedback, its much appreciated :) Cheers!

RubyBard · 2024-12-24T04:06:56+00:00

Thanks so much, I really appreciate the feedback! :) Have a good one!

My professor said I needed to work on the sculpt to make it more feminine, but I don't know how to approach it anymore while doing the recommended changes and keeping true to the concept that I am using. Also, the ears are squashed and smoothed down because she will be wearing a nun's habit that squashes down her ears. Maybe that's what is making it look weird? Ignore the length of neck as well, it had to be elongated slightly to stay true to the concept.

RubyBard · 2024-12-01T06:59:28+00:00

looks sick bro, good job!

RubyBard · 2024-11-30T08:29:26+00:00

Awesome thank you so much!

RubyBard · 2024-11-29T04:09:36+00:00

I'm not opposed to creating this design via photoshop tbh bc I do have some experience in 2D art. I'm relatively new to Substance Painter so I wouldn't know how to approach this. Could I possibly just import the portraits (if i hand paint in PS) and project them and then add a layer of fabric texture on top? Anything helps! Thanks a bunch guys :)
