Yep, and here's the progress so far. I would post some of the ones from an earlier stage, but I rather keep this post T-Rated. No, I didn't add the "FULLY MODELED" stuff, keep that in mind. She's not meant for that. Before you ask: No, I'm not putting her in VRChat or some mod, this is a Blender thing. I will definitely use her for reference material though. The model is more of an exercise for me getting out of my comfort zone on an outdated version of Blender (2.79).

Lot of my progress so far is me fiddling with shaders and using HDRI's from Polyhaven to use as a light source.

The links here lead to my Blogspot, documenting on the model's creation. My Art Den is more of a diary than anything else. I will update once the post I made progress.

Part 1 (Design)

Part 2 (Model)

Part 3 (Rigging, coming coon)

Part 4? (Depends on my decision)

Current progress:

Extra images.

So it's been a while since I posted this... Again. Anyways, I got a few things to talk about...

Recently, I got myself a full-time job where I started last week. No, not the one I wrote on a flyer, but an honest-to-god 9-5 job. This means I'm making an honest living again, and soon I'll pay off my rent. Not saying "where," but it's basically clerk & merchandise stuff.

The next bit is me redesigning my rabbit OC, Vivi... For the 8th time. Version 7 is a good design, but I didn't get to do much with her and did a total of 13 drawings... Including sketches. Then again, V7 I also dubbed "The Commission design" since... Well, I commissioned some artists to draw her lol.

For version 8, I'm currently working on her still, and just started the modelling process. HOPEFULLY, I'll get her done. Also no, she'll not go out barefoot, I didn't draw her shoes yet.

Dunno when I'm gonna finish the design, let alone the model. Hopefully it won't take 7 months to do so.

Lastly for Youtube stuff. I got a Gran Turismo 4 video planned, and I already finished the game, weeks ago. I didn't start the voiceover as of yet, but the script is indeed done. That'll be on my main Mace 2.0 channel, but as of RABIT I still need time to look over the scripts for some upcoming videos. Since I also got work, it'll take a while longer.

It's been a month since I last posted. Anyways, I've been working on my little project known as Lost Legends, this web series I talk about video games. To be direct: Old alpha/beta versions of games, and even cancelled ones. Recently, I finally finished the first season after 2 years, which is kinda odd in hindsight, but I got a video planned called "the Post-Season episode" to explain a few things why.

Anyways, Lost Legends: Maximo (both Part 1 & 2) is indeed live, you could check the links below.

This link here's the episode lineup.

Even though the season is over, I'm not done with Season 1, just yet. In recent times, I got my hands on a beta version of Malice I tend to make a few videos about (One is an update, others being just gameplay footage). Even if I get that done, I have Shantae Advance to worry about, which won't happen until a good... *shrugs* when the game's released this year. After the post-season, Malice, and even Twisted Metal as a Special Episode, I gotta work on Season 2 of the series... Well, prep for the second season, first. It'll be fun.

First off, I just woke up not from some siblings, but a moon setting outside my window. Also, saw this who crowned me "User of the Day."

Anyway, I got some news for ya: Yesterday, I released a new Lost Legends video. Part 2 of Maximo (the one covering the sequel and the cancelled 3rd entry) will be out, next month as the season finale.

For Commissions: Yes, I'm still open, still 5 entire slots open. However, the whole thing is updated to be more direct, less bloated, and more importantly: Cheap.

For the experimental rendering style, it's still a WIP. Pic below is what it looks like. A glorious mess of halftone patterns, exploiting the "add" layer blending tool to make it as it is.

'Sup.

Yeah, I haven't made a new post since NOVEMBER, which is almost 8 months. Where the hell have I been? Answer: I've gone quiet, mostly focusing on my Youtube show, Lost Legends, which for the past 8 months me & a friend of mine collaborated to make the grandiose episode about Turok: Evolution. I'm happy to say that this episode is finally finished, and set to release on Tuesday the 18th... A day before that Twisted Metal show will air... And likely get blasted.

As for the art, no commissions has been taken. I think I'm not proven to take that or the options are quite a lot. That, or I haven't made any art since March... any FINISHED art since March. I'm gonna close the commissions for now, since there's no takers, and should post some new artworks when I get the chance.

Miffy.

I only made a few sketches and models during that time, none are finished. Since I got some spare time, I was thinking about drawing some Shantae, since I found out that her cancelled GBA sequel is being worked on once again. Luckily, I still have my unmodded Gameboy Advance sitting in my room. May need to change the old batteries.

On the topic of Lost Legends: after Turok, I'm gonna make an update video related to the previous episodes since there's a lot to talk about. After that, it's Maximo (Part 1 will make a release in August, Part 2 in September, hopefully), and lastly, the Post-Season episode.

After those, I got an idea to make something special for an upcoming video in the future. It does involve some animation ; ).

AVAILABLE SLOTS: 5

I updated the Commission ads to simply scale it to Yankee Dollars.

To give out some extra details why I don't accept the stuff on the right:

Backgrounds:

-The backgrounds can be either solid, gradient, or transparent.

Explicit NSFW:

-Bikinis & Swimsuits are okay, but I won't draw nipples

-Won't draw bodily fluids (except blood, but no gore)

-I will draw your NSFW OC's in a SFW manner

Fetish Art:

The few here are just the tip of the iceberg.

-Won't draw feet or armpits as the focal point

-Won't do BDSM or any bondage gear

-Vore in general

-Transformation as a sexual thing

REAL PEOPLE:

-This means IRL people like you & me.

-I won't draw you, your relatives, or people you disliked.

-Will draw actors portraying their roles (i.e. Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker)

Hate Speech / Propaganda:

-I'm here to draw art, not political statements.

Complex Designs:

-This means excessive levels of detail

-Also realism

-I would simplify the armor/mech designs.

Full article.

To put it simply, I made a couple new accounts in case Twitter dies out by the next year... Well, good riddance. Anyhow, the accounts in question are CoHost (Though it's not fully set up yet), and Inkblot where I post my artworks.

Also, I'm starting to do some commissions, but only for a few people in my Discord circles for now. Once I had the spare time, I should take this commission stuff seriously and practice my art skills.

Previous Post

Guess it's time for another update. Alright, let's start with Youtube handles. It doesn't mean much, but it is pretty useful for mentioning people without having the effort of finding THEM or them finding you. I approve of this, because I need to update that Mace 2.0 URL that was using the outdated "Omnilution 2015" tagline. I updated both channel's links to simply Mace2.0 & TypeRABIT, respectively.

Second: The Hidden Art Den. Moreso, this link here. Right now, it's a bit barren, and most of it are Vivi-related. The purpose for this is to show off some of my art pieces without compromises like Artstation (turns your pngs to jpegs), or Wysp which I abandoned (can't really post art that's over 1200px wide without compromise). This is also some sort of journal like this, but this time I could post a butt-load of images. I could also post some old pieces, like the 3D models which I document throughout the entire thing (y'know, for safekeeping).

Next, Lost Legends. It's not going anywhere, but this month's episode focused on the prequel to everyone's favourite Dinosaur Hunter - Turok: Evolution. This game had quite the history when it was being made for 2 years, but unfortunate that this didn't get enough polish. Then again, this is Acclaim. When it comes down to cut content (in the PC version at least): It's a goldmine.

Pic here is just a sneak peek that the TCRF didn't cover. However, this episode will be split into TWO Parts: Part 1 covers the history, the game itself, and it's builds. Part 2 covers the previews and digging through the vast majority of lost content. Hopefully I'll get these done on the same month, and cross my fingers that I won't get evacuated from another flood like last year.

One more thing: About that Vivi model? Frankly, I barely started the thing, because I was focusing on Lost Legends. This is the last screenshot I did before I move on to something else. I was planning on abandoning this attempt to try a different method, one day. Once I got time to spare, at least.

Previous Issue.

So, it's been a couple weeks since the last post. I haven't made progress 'cuz I was working on a little more grandiose, which spent my week off from work. Pic here is the School level from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (using the THUG2 version), ported to Re-Volt albeit modified by me. The shadow boxes would be a pain in the ass, I'll tell you what.

This is actually in-game, not some Blender Render result. Yes, I also added the Aborigine because he has a minikart. Doesn't handle too good, though.

As of Vivi things, I haven't really touched upon the reference sheet since those few weeks. This here is the most recent change: Replacing the tacky looking bra with a sports one. I added 2 more "VivDoll Outfits" - one of which is based off one of Rop Chop's Frange Pani outfits.

I think the sports bra is a better choice, IMO.

On my extensive to do list, here's what I have to deal with:

• Finish The THPS1 School level for Re-Volt
• Also finish tweaking the Aborigine's handling model
• Lost Legends - Rayman 2 (The 2D version)
• Get Tattoo
• Reject the Horny
• Tweak Vivi's design
• Eventually, model... Try Blender 3.0+, despite not handling it's alien UI.

So, it's been a while since I updated the bunny girl (Check previous design). Though all the lore in my head is loaded, barely anything else was brought out. Vivian Tracey (or Viv for short) is that rabbit girl I've been drawing since 2015. Started out as some stick figure, then added the details, and then later several design iterations and even 2 3D models. Now I'm working on another design that should top the previous 6 versions. Here's what the 7th design would look like.

Don't get me started on the hands. I'll design them later.

I was going to change the outfit altogether, but the failed 6.5's attire which is the Spade tee & jean shorts fits her character. Even though designing a character is what's considered difficult, I came up with a basic solution.

The "VivDolls" are just an outline for the clothing I want to make. A more simplified design so I could make the clothes easier. I know you're probably looking that the right half.

I did commissioned a few artists ranging from a while ago to sometime in 2020, and they did a nice job basing on the 6.5 design. The recent one was based off the 3D model I gave him for reference. As of now, I'm not ready to make the 3D model just yet. I need to deal with the hands and fix up a few details. I wanna say her butt looks a bit big on the backside, but I can't tell when I model her.
