Helen - Model Apresentation 2.0 (Patreon)
Content
That's it guys! I felt it was finally time to give the queen of the page an upgrade!
This update brings a complete redesign of Helen, but of course, I made sure to preserve the essence of her original look so she wouldn't feel like a completely different character. It's the same Helen, just better!
I started working on her on October 5th, and I did my best to get everything done as quickly as possible. I really needed this updated model because, as I mentioned before, we'll be having a special Christmas animation.
As for her outfits, I only made the pajamas she'll be wearing in the animation to save time. Okay, so with that said, yes, I did take a little break from Tatsumaki. I felt like releasing the teaser finally gave me a chance to catch my breath a bit.
Why Helen and not Dexter's Mom?
Since Helen is a redesign, I don't have to spend too much time figuring out her look, especially her face, which is the most challenging part of creating 3D models for me. Translating Dexter's Mom's 2D face into 3D will be quite a challenge and will require a bit more time.
But didn't you hold a poll where everyone voted not to pause Tatsumaki's development?
Yes... but going so long without releasing any new content has been killing me, and the Christmas Special ended up being the perfect opportunity to finally put something out there. I hope I don't disappoint you guys with this decision.
(ಥ﹏ಥ)
So, what's really going on with Tatsumaki? Is it coming out or not?
As always, I want to be completely transparent with you guys, so here's the answer: It's very unlikely to be released this year.
At this point, I'm relying much more on my partner, who's handling the narrative side of the project, since all the 3D material is already finished.
My next step would be working on the sound design, but even that might not be enough to move things forward as much as assembling the story itself would.
With the Christmas Special, I have more creative freedom and can make a lot of progress on my own, so it's the perfect project to release in the meantime.
Wow, that turned out a bit long haha.
Thank you so much!
