3D Planet with Rings

I tried to use more flat materials to match the toon style however, it still looks a bit noisy. So i’m going to try creating some 3D models on Substance Painter as well to see if there toon shader looks a bit more cartoony.

I feel as though I still need to learn a lot more on Blender to really understand the shading process.

I’ve grown a bit more understanding with using nodes to help with materials in Blender however, I feel as though there’s a lot more I need to learn. I did use the nodes on the Saturn rings to make it streaky and transparentish.

However, I can upload this model to sketch fab and ArtStation and ask for feedback on how I can develop this into a more toony style and also just improve it as a whole.

First Attempt in Character design.

Before I started on working on 3D models I thought I should practice creating what the characters may look like.

This is my first attempt in designing what the main character that you can name and modify would look like.

I chose these colours to try and suit the cartoony flat sort of style I’m trying to go for.

I’m still not 100% happy with it but I want to see if it’ll work out when I make a digital 3D model of it. (I still think it looks cute though). It’s just going to be hard for me to draw it facing straight ahead, backwards, and from the side so I can model from it on Blender so I might simplify it a little bit.

I designed this on my iPad on Adobe illustrator (for iPad), and Adobe Sketch.
I found different illustrations from Pinterest, and Creative commons, to then trace over different parts of them to appropriate them. (Since I can’t draw at all).

This is an idea of the secondary character that can be used to pick resources and develop electricity for the new planet. The same model could be used for robots that develop water, and earth.

I feel as though this rough idea will be challenging for me to create 3D because of the shape of the body and arms.

However, i’d be happy to make a simpler version to begin with to develop my skills to then in the future create the model to this design.
