August-September Update (2)
🕑 Added 2021-09-11 01:54:22 +0000 UTCAgghh, I'm really sorry, I'm definitely going to need more time still;; I miscalculated how long it would take me to do the clothes folds, finish the hands... and I also keep messing with the hair;;;
Right now I'm still messing a bit with the hands and hair [attaching the hands to the body, and making the hair transition: from sculpt to... spike thingies? look good] BUT I'm almost entering the coloring stage, which shouldn't take too long, it's an easy and really fun part, and I think I'll just do vertex paints!
The last step is what I'm unsure about: Rigging.
Now.. I'll use Rigify, which automatically creates a rig, I just need to place the bones!
So that's easy and shouldn't take long. But from previous experience of rigging my rough sculpts, I know the weight painting [bone/joints influence] will probably be messed up, especially because my sculpt is separated in parts, so there's things that will probably be sticking out and deforming weird. [Fixing the weight painting is a bit frustrating and slow because the mesh is so dense... It's just not intended to work with a sculpt after all;;;]
I don't plan to do anything crazy or dynamic with the pose, so hopefully that won't be a problem, but it's still the factor that makes me unsure of how long it will take to finish.
I'm aiming for the 15th now. But I'm thinking of posting the August compilation before, since it's ready, and just put all the pics of the finished sculpt in an additional zip file.
I also think the timelapse might be delayed a bit, because I have no idea how long it will take to render. [I did a small test to check for a good speed and it was kind of slow to render so... no idea how long it will take for the full video.]

Bakura sculpt preview!
The eyelashes make me nervous, I THINK it's going to work once I color but I just keep nervously glancing at them. Something else I've been thinking about is opening his mouth and giving him a smile... AT LEAST the smile has to be a thing.
On another note I think it's really funny he ended up with the pointy Link nose.
