Model done! Work in Progress stuff under the cut!

The hardest part is always the head shape. Taizo's was easy because the general shape of his nose lent to an easy low poly shape of everything else. I don't want to forego Masuyo's nose, but at this stage I'm debating on whether to model it or to draw it on.

As for everything else, it's pretty straight forward. I think I am not going to give her more than two hand digits, I'll probably make her gun a bit more chunky to make up for it.

Another thing i wanted to keep in mind is that I would like Masuyo to be taller than him. He's 44 units tall, so I am going to try and keeper her taller than that.

I decied to go with a sort of 'mixed media' for the hair, using both cubes and planes together. Also, ta'daa! She still needs hands and some slight shaping and then I can get to texture work and stuff!

[TIP: When I make arms, necks, or general appendages, I usually for for a hexagonal shape over an octagonal one. There's a cylinder tool, however I always build every part starting from the 'generic object' cuboid!]

Using a limited pallet is really fun for these too. Faces are always planes overlayed onto the head shape. It's just easier to texture that way, though once again if it was a limited poly count and texture size, It'd be drawn directly on.

Samus Aran Origins Revisited: The Metroid Creature

I had unfinished business with Cobra...or did Cobra have unfinished business with me?

My new video essay is a follow-up to my previous video about Samus Aran's Origins. This time I look into possible influences on the Metroid creature itself, with a focus on one particularly major influence.

Fun Fact: the main character of this game, Toby "Kissy" Masuyo (in the yellow space suit here) would later go on and Marry (and later Divorce) the Dig Dig Guy and have 3 kids with him (one of them being Mr. Driller)

Baraduke, arcade.

A shared thought.

I said screw it and did another one

[futomimi]

Baraduke is kinda amazing for being that insane hard and not having a continue function. like it's not a quarter muncher it's just a game that hates you

[oddaiden]

More Namco Mania!

Tada! it's here and it's a blast!

(trying to get photos of cabinets is getting harder and harder so I'm resorting to sprites. thank you to the people who work so hard to dump the sprites)

Nobody talks about the real OG post credits reveal (Toby “Kissy” Masuyo from the Baraduke series, an arcade game released by Namco, beats Samus by about a year)

i was gonna make a "post-credits gender reveal" joke before i remembered the queen did it first
