Hanktaur Bowling (Patreon)

I finally got the Hanktaur model finished and posed! I had this about 75% done, but then put it on hold to do the shark for shark week. So this week I went back to it. I thought it'd be fun to capture the moment in the comic when he's trying to bowl as a taur for the first time.

No hyper junk on this one because originally I was thinking I may try to throw this model into VR Chat. However I may still add it later... Haven't really decided yet. x) It would be a good excuse to re-render the animation with a higher cycle count. I turned it down quite a bit to help speed up render time, but it left too much noise, especially in the reflections of the eyes. (It STILL took 3.5 hours!) So if I do a NSFW version, I'll increase the quality.

I'm kind of blown away that I'm able to make these sorts of relatively high-quality-looking 3D models in the amount of time I've been spending on them, even if they've got a lot of problems under the hood. I like how the hair turned out on this one too. It was a really good test model for hair since I only had to do that one strip, and it's pretty stylized anyway. I'm probably going to try to incorporate more particle hair and fur in future models. I'm also amused at how much he looks like how I draw Hank in the comic. That's kind of awesome, haha!
