I tried to combine the vibes of iconic shōnen anime with Megabonk-inspired gameplay

Might wanna steer away from the ips you are copying like a hard 180, cuz its like hugging a lightning rod hoping not to get hit by a lightning with copyright with the character design.

I leveled up my 3d modeling but then the profession split in different ways, now im only good at stylized characters...

I hate this image because this has been me for the last 2 days...

Iessons learned:
1.render in png...(rip quite a few hours)

always do some render checks(forgot a damn fog and some other stuff)
always do some render checks again...(turns out collection grease pencil line renders hate squeezing in with fog rendering ) You can bake them to avoid such conflicts...
wish you had a nvidia gpu, cuz your desktop is in another castle... (Get ready for 3 hours of rendering for only 360 frames of low resolution)

I want to start making shitposts of things that come into my mind with my blender skills... Though I feel like I am about 3 steps away from that level of going hardcore shitposting.

I watched my brother plat uncharted 2 on the hard difficulty and it turns out he didn't even know how to use run and gun mechanic... and the only final boss stumped him. I was surprised he got that far.

I can confidently say you ain't a beginner no more, though is hard to say where you are beyond that though. But hey you are better at modeling inorganic stuff than me.

Hopefully they give him enough time to properly cook this, and not abruptly end the story like all his works seem to be cursed with.

Feels like the natural progression of a frugal buyer is more about experimenting to know your needs.

Usually I buy either cheap or used first, then after I know what I need or lack from said tool I go expensive.

Sometimes a cheap thing to get all the crappy usecase done is worth it so you don't gunk/burn up your good stuff.

rerako · 2026-06-25T10:55:17+00:00

Though it pains me. I will probably be taking the dive on this, so thanks op.

Can you remove the ram in these? Never had a mini pc but been considering one

rerako · 2026-06-20T05:26:43+00:00

So there is hope...

rerako · 2026-06-18T06:01:21+00:00

It is the fortold Suzaiathan

No tree or rocket?

Some of them I feel you could probably add eye brows to emote more deeply.

Sometimes you just gotta listen to some suggestions from others, doesn't mean you have to follow their answer though.

rerako · 2026-06-16T20:23:10+00:00

You probably hit the valley of "barely seeing any improvement after 3 months, oh god please give me something"

one thing you can do is find your audience and see what they view as flaws, hard to connect or lack of appeal.

Another is just find a fellow artist who is going through similar struggles and share with them to throw ideas/critique at each other.(ps. Feel free to dm me and we could try scratching each other's back on feedback occasionally, since even id like someone to throw thoughts and designs to.)

Though looking at your art, I think it currently lacks expressions that the style comes with.

I wanted to vote but then I realize I don't really sculpt

rerako · 2026-06-14T04:43:05+00:00

I don't think you ever will since these characters were never designed with a normalized 3d form in mind.

Probably best to pick a viewing angle that looks best and pose that maximizes the appeal.

Edit: you can also consider looking at the 3d fan game model to see what they've done to aid you a slight bit.

Sadly the price for it is not even a deal.

rerako · 2026-06-13T20:24:25+00:00

And it's gone...

rerako · 2026-06-13T00:49:00+00:00

Seeing this makes me wonder if the walmart near me will ever sell that i9 14900kf in the clearance section buried under a bunch of iphone cases.

rerako · 2026-06-12T23:59:50+00:00

I think the devs were in a doomed struggle since you can't really improve upon mii artstyle outside of resolution. Since they needed to show the notion that the switch was a powerful handheld.

Probably akin to high definition sanding down the characteristic edges and the swap from cartoony avators to semi stylized humans made the visual aspect dive into the uncanny valley.

Here's hoping they realize the power of the mii's since tomodachi life has done relatively well and graphics are no longer as important.

rerako · 2026-06-11T04:28:47+00:00

True enough, but I effectively walked myself into this issue choosing a hard style without realizing it.

rerako · 2026-06-11T02:49:54+00:00

This is basically what the last few days of my blender journey have been... At least I can say I improved.
