Project Update #2 - 05.06.2023

Hey there, Buru here.

Back with the latest. Let's get right to it.

Kael is slowly starting to show his final form! This sketch by BobbyArts is currently being further refined into a colored rendered image, so look forward to that!

Finally got some updates on Buru's model! Sculpting and Topology are done, now going to some texture updates. The first style being tested is more in the direction of the movie "The Bad Guys", although I can already see this being a bit too large in scope, and something more flat will probably work better, so we'll be trying that too.

Something closer to this: https://twitter.com/VladHarabagiu/status/1665379065409183746

I'll post more pictures once everything is set up!

A new hero is in town! BiffTheMoose will join the town of Rivencliff as the town's hardworking lumberjack. Here's his origin story:

Biff the Moose, a towering figure with an equally colossal heart, hails from the lively City of Rivencliff. Born into a family of hardworking lumberjacks, 

Biff has always been surrounded by the powerful yet peaceful ambiance of nature and the rhythmic sound of axes striking wood. From a young age, he helped his parents in the family business, chopping wood, and learning the value of hard work and dedication. Over time, his profession honed his muscular physique and gave him remarkable physical strength.  

While Biff is an intimidating presence at first glance due to his size and strength, those who get to know him soon discover his gentle spirit. A steadfast friend, 

Biff is fiercely protective of those he holds dear, and he isn't afraid to use his formidable physique to keep them safe. His loyalty is unwavering, his trustworthiness unmatched.  

When he isn't working in the woods or safeguarding his friends, Biff indulges in his passion for boxing. He enjoys the discipline, the rush of adrenaline, and the challenge of pushing his physical limits. 

Yet, he's also a big believer in the importance of rest and recovery. He is often found unwinding in saunas, hot springs, or simply lounging in bed, savoring the serenity of quiet moments. 

These seemingly contradictory interests - the thrill of boxing and the calmness of relaxation - actually coexist harmoniously in Biff, reflecting his balanced approach to life.

I am very much looking forward to see where we'll meet Biff in the story! (And more importantly, which one is his house?)

Biff was also so kind to provide the 3D model he has of his glorious moose. After VisDev (Visual Development) for Buru is done and the style is set, there will probably be a few texture edits for Biff's model to fit the style of the comic.
