A

Wonderful Sunday is finally coming to a close, and I just finished my picture for @sndbox contest. This would be my 3rd contest for steemit as a whole and so far its been quite fun. This particular project took me about 2 days to complete, so it was kind of a process, but I got through it. The small project was very similar to the sonic cell shade project that I created almost 2 weeks ago. So everything went kind of smoothly since I knew what to do this time.

I know

I know, I say this all the time, but I'll try to keep this brief and short. So I did make this project within 2 days and there were a lot of things that had to be done. Blender had crashed on me several times because of the shading I had to make for the character and on top of that there was an armature I had to put in my character, I guess that's too much for my computer to handle right now, but I made sure I saved every second and continued to work.

Ironing out the model so it can go harmoniously with the armature or
rather bones.

Adding bones to the model for
poses and animation.
I didn't need to weight paint since the overall armature was going well with the model.

I can't forget the shading and the materials,
it's essential to what I'm going for.

And then you have the posing process,
usually this part takes quite some time, but it didn't (lol).
Although I modeled the sndbox logo, it didn't translate too well when I rendered it
and moved it to Photoshop.

So I just made the logo in Illustrator and did a 3d effect.
I know I could of done this in Photoshop,
but for some reason my computer couldn't handle it. It only worked well in Illustrator.

And then the final step was getting everything together
and just playing around with the effects in Photoshop.
Also I was going back and forth from Photoshop to illustrator,
I just wanted to see what looked the best.

Ah...yes, It's always great to
see the end results of any project.
It's almost like it's a high of some sorts.

Iɴsᴘɪʀᴀᴛɪᴏɴ came from Toonami, a show that showed different anime's every time I came home from school back in the day. I don't know, there's this atmosphere that Toonami gives off, and it's such a good feeling. The promos that they showed with instrumental hip hop music late at night. I use to jam to those before I went to sleep and than they had the intruder mini series that Toonami showed every Saturday. It was about tom (the host) fighting off this alien and trying to stay alive. Such good memories being a kid.
