Ok folks, this should (hopefully) be the final verdict for the Sylvie Model!
My recent post has been met with a lot of criticism, so I really hope I’ve finally landed on something closer to a sweet spot with Sylvie’s design. The new model (A) actually went in the complete opposite direction from my previous attempts. My background is in realistic 3D work, so approaching Sylveon has been surprisingly difficult. I kept trying to add details and complexity where the original design never had them. I think I’ve finally learned my lesson with this one. The new model is shaded more like the official 3D Pokémon games, with simpler details and cleaner shading overall.
My eye tells me it’s a solid improvement, but I know tunnel vision is real, so I can’t fully trust my own judgment here. You be the judge!
Going forward / The Next Animation: I’ve decided not to release an animation on the 16th. Instead, I’m redirecting that production time toward a bigger project dropping on the 1st. I won’t spoil too many details yet, but I can tell you we’re getting a change of scenery 😉
Content Survey: A huge thank you to everyone who filled out the content survey! Your responses have been extremely helpful. I’m going to leave the survey open indefinitely (there’s no limit on how many times you can respond). So whenever a new animation drops, if you have strong feelings about it, feel free to submit a fresh response.
With love, Juniah ❤️❤️❤️
