New Kotie Model I'm Working On!

New Kotie model I'm working on!

*Koties are fantasy/fictional felines from my personal story/lore.

It includes the skeleton, muscles, and the whole Kotie in flesh and skin, which is based on them. I used the northern Kotie as a model this time, so this one has some large paws :)

~ Made in Blender.

This definitely took a lot more time and effort than the simpler method with just sculpting all the muscles (like I did in all my previous models; link to my previous Kotie model), and shrinkwrapping the skin to the muscles was really a challenge for both me and blender (maybe there are easier ways to do this, but I worked intuitively from my crazy idea, just as I always do). But it was also very interesting!

Each bone and muscle are created as separate models (most muscles are made with curves, then sculpted a bit), which gave me the opportunity to study each of them (and to desperately search for detailed references). I did not model the internal muscles however.

The anatomy is rough and simplified in some details, and attaching all this to even the basic armature turned out to be too extreme, so not all poses work well. But it is already a great reference for the Kotie anatomy! I'm happy with the result, and modeling all this gave me some more insight into the realistic proportions and shapes of the Koties, which I have been struggling with since the very beginning of drawing and modeling them.

The final sculp is not finished yet; it needs a lot more work and has no textures at all for now, I just quickly painted some colors with Vertex Paint, to make the character feel more alive.

Tried my hand at another Lion King 1 1/2 screencap redraw. Tried to make Timon more closely resemble his TLK 1994 model. The colors were fun to figure out, because there isn’t actually any examples of Timon in the Pridelands at the ass-crack of dawn in the original TLK. 😂

I’ve been studying that original Lion King style really hard, so I hope that comes out here. 😬 The expression was interesting to tackle because Timon’s eyes don’t really do those micro-expressions in the first movie.

Enjoy!

holy freak Teddy........ also idk if its my headphones but the sound is a bit bad for me idk MBBBBB

small rant but I honestly love that aspect to him. we don't see TOO much of this side of him but I feel like he would be the guy that looks super tough but laughs at balls jokes 💔💔 also holy crap he wants Oliver so bad trust me you guys.... But I like to think that between the time after "Splash" flopped and before he met Charles and Mabel, Oliver and Teddy had a small thing going on (or maybe even a little bit during "Splash"). but I'm guessing it either didn't work out orrrrrr uhhhhhhhh idk but there's definitely some tension and I LIKE IT.

TEDDY'S COMING BACK FOR THE FIFTH SEASON I SWEAR YOU GUYS!!!!! (sigh I know he's probably not but a boy can dream)

this is unrelated but uhm I think the song "Elevator Man" by Oingo Boingo kinda fits Teddy idk might just be me and I might do another rant about THAT too
