Tried to make a skin for the ‪@BrawlStars‬ #supercellmake "Once Upon a Fairytale Frank" skin contest. He's a castle wow cool. Vote for your favorite at make.supercell.com/!


I modeled this in Blender and textured in Substance Painter. It was a lot of fun to make!

Finished an awesome superhero anatomy course by ‪@SpeedChar‬! (Nikolay Naydenov) I'd definitely recommend it, it helped me understand how all of the muscles interact, overlap, and connect to the body, really happy with how this turned out.

Got runner-up in the #SupercellMake #ColetteLostInTime campaign for #BrawlStars! Thanks to anyone that may have voted, I appreciate the support! Congrats to ‪@FrancyArtist‬ and Beats for the win! You guys are on another level. I love the color palette and you guys keeping the silhouette of the sleeves with the gauntlets, masterfully done! Thanks again to the #SupercellMake team for putting these campaigns on for the community, it's such a fun experience.

Tried to up the realism and dive a little deeper into the Hair Particle system in Blender with this one! Each part, the stubble, moustache, eyelashes, eyebrows, scalp sides and top all posed their own unique challenge and approach. Lots of playing with the parameter sliders and whipping out the comb!

Tried redoing my earlier Superman with a more stylized, cartoony approach! I also tried doing this in a sort of "quick and dirty" way where I used a free automatic remesher called Auto Remesher, Smart UV Project and maxing out the angle limit, baking AO and Shadow maps, the fill bucket for color, and using a Gradient texture node. Was able to speed up the workflow a bit and get this done relatively quickly! I might explore this method/pipeline some more and try and fine tune it since its a little quicker!

Trying out a ‪@BlenderOfficial‬ & ‪@PILGWAY3DCoat‬ workflow for the first time with this stylized Engie from TF2! The retopology, UV, and texture painting tools in 3DCoat are awesome, I'm really enjoying learning what the program can do so far! Do any of you guys use different programs in your workflow? I'm thinking about trying Substance Painter as well.

SupercellMake Skin Contest: Nita's Summer Splash! (Voting opens on April 10th!)

Supercell, the makers of the mobile games Clash of Clans and Brawl Stars are having a fun little community skin contest for one of their Brawl Star characters, Nita. The theme is to give the character and her bear companion a "Summer Splash" vibe, and make them look like they are ready for the pool. I decided to turn the bear into a unicorn floatie and give her some fun swimming accessories.

If you want to give it a try for fun, they are accepting submissions until April 19th. Voting opens on April 10th, and any entry that gets over 1000 votes is considered by the Supercell team for the game which is pretty neat! More information can be found at make.supercell.com/en/campaigns/brawl-stars.

My submission page is at make.supercell.com/en/creation/nitacorn. Check it out!

Big thanks to chand1625 on Discord who let me know of the contest, it was a lot of fun!

Work-In-Progress! Working on a superhero character right now! My affinity for large, bulky men is becoming more and more apparent to me. Going to whip the comb out for this one and go with a particle hair system. Clark Kent hairdo? Long flowing ponytail? Mohawk?

Blender Version 2.90
Sculpted in Blender with voxel remesh (high-poly about 12M tris)
Retopologized manually with F2 addon & Polybuild tool
Rigged with Rigify
Vertex paint just flood-filled for now mixed with an AO node as I still have to UV unwrap
