Skailer (3D Character)
This has been in the works for a while.
A personal project I tackled to create one of my characters. There was a lot of struggling but I learned A LOT. I hand painted the textures for her skin and made all the clothes within blender and textured everything in Adobe Substance Painter.
Within the rigging process is where I was stuck for most of the time. and I started over many, many, many times. But I got it to a working condition.
*It doesn't have to perfect right now, but I can work up to it.*
I started this in 2024.
I will attempt this again and I know what to do and what not to do in my new attempt. And I am very sure I will leave with the next version (whenever that may be) with another boat load full of lessons.

Some of the early days with modelling. This was before retopologising.
The finished mesh before texturing.
I was messing around with ucuPaint within Blender. But after Blender crashing one too many times I opted for Substance.
