Absolutely! I had a ton of fun working on your character :D Every anime you mentioned in your video, I was just like "yes, yes, yes, I should also rewatch all of these." Avatar is next on my list! YIP YIP
@@UnFyKilianZ tysm.. For your kind respond!....and.. I hve learnt a lot by just watching your tut.. So.. Thnx for inspiring and giving the best knowledge there is.... To us!..

Answer to why they had the sailor uniform style school uniforms. Their modern schools were heavily influenced by western ones and so were the uniforms, one uniform that they saw most of was foreign sailors. They basically meshed that with various other uniforms including actual school uniforms of the time and voila the serafuku.
Thuy Bui Technically every cultural concept has taken inspiration from other cultures. It’s just how it works. So in a way, every culture enjoys aspects of other culture’s creations, even if it’s just a variation of their original creation.
not gonna lie, thought i was gonna skip to the end to see the final product faster but i actually got super interested in the process and watched the whole video + subbed
This is a friendly reminder to drink your water and stay happy even through this chaos that we’re in. I may not know you but you’re special in any way, shape, or form. I love you☺️
The journey of a thousand miles starts with but a single step, young Padawan. Nurture your gift, and you can transcend any limitations you thought you had.
I love to hear that you worked for supercell. I think their characters were the ones that made me think oh my god that looks so cool I want to know how to do that:D
As someone who is branching out and watching digital sculpting videos, this was not only very informational but super inspiring! Loved watching you take it from the initial blockout to the final product! Awesome job :D
Hey there Follygon! I just found your channel with this video and I just wanted to say you're already a huge inspiration to me! I'm about to go into my last year of undergrad and I only really found what I wanted to do with my life this past year, when I finally found an artistic outlet within the realm of computer science/graphics. I always had an artistic bend to me, but I love technology too, but I realized too late that I couldn't imagine just sitting and coding software for a living. To hear that you only start in your early twenties (just like me!) is just super inspiring, and really makes me feel better about my future and "starting late" like I have. Thank you so much!
I love the original artwork from imawonder, and seeing it turning into a 3D sculpture is amazing. I love your work and you are a big inspiration for me! I am starting to explore digital sculpting and it is incredibly fun, but sometimes frustrating, seeing your videos makes me motivated to keep practicing.
Almost at 100k subscribers, exciting! Thanks for all the help you've dished out these many years. I really improved my stylized sculpting and blocking out because of your videos. Wish you on a successful career!
@@Follygon I didn't even realize it, but I've been linking your videos on the Zbrush subreddit for a while (when people ask on my posts how to stylize sculpts and how to get started on stylized sculpts) and only recently found out you're the mod for it haha
oh man you've really inspired me to try out 3D sculpting!! i was always a little intimidated by it and would always give up before i finished, but seeing where you started and how the model ends up really helps me understand that just because it looks silly when i start out doesn't mean it won't look good later!! thank you so much for all of your zbrush speedsculpts!! they really inspire me
Kia Ora from New Zealand! Thank you, Ben, so much for sharing your character creation process. Your videos are really informative and helpful and I tend to use a lot of your sculpting tips&tricks in my 3D pipeline. Can't wait to see your next piece :)
Dude please keep it up! I absolutely love these. Not only is your talent and skill inspiring, but I also love your choices of things to sculp and artists to work with :)
I absolutely love this video! Fantastic work on this one! I've always thought that the workflow of dynamesh -> Zremesher -> dynamesh, (or rather the Blender equivalent dynatop -> Voxel remesh -> dynatop) really helps to get sharper and better defined forms, but I always see speed sculpts of people just banging out a perfect sculpt on the first go with just dynatop/dynamesh and I always thought "Am I doing something wrong?" Your explanations make the process seem much less "magical" than a lot of other people explaining their process, same thing for all your adjustments at the end of the video. Amazing job, and I'll be subscribed!
She do be looking kind of white but watching you work is incredible. 30+ hours?! It's mind blowing, both of you are brilliant artists!! I'm feeling so inspired right now 😁
"Hey ya dirty skippers" I've recently stumbled across your videos and have been binging the vast majority ever since. The way you explain and show your process is extremely helpful and has definitely reignited my desire to jump back into character sculpting. Great stuff and beautiful work!
not at how you called out the skippers xD normally I'm a skipper but ohhhh MY GOSH! I loved watching this, so much that I didn't skip! XD I love the final piece, watching all your hard work was satisfying to watch and your Q&A inspired me hehe, have a lovely day! Awesome collab!
so happy I found your channel. I like digital painting and even did a Coraline bust sculpt on Zbrush before. I remember I crammed the basics and controls of Zbrush, a couple hour-long videos, and got right into it. Seeing your process is amazing because I have no idea what you're doing lol but it was a great watch. ♥
I feel like her nose and face were a bit too thin, considering she's Japanese. Asian people tend to have a wider nose and she looks more western than the drawing. Great video though! Looks very nice!
Yeah I noticed that as soon as he started sculpting? It was super thin and pointed and the lips were too thick. I understand that sometime you want to make models look more “pretty” aka more white looking, but this just didn’t look right...
boi boi it’s just that beauty standards tend to glorify western features, yk? Things have changed a bit but mostly European features are the ones that have been “in fashion”. Btw I’m Asian/Arab so I’m not just some white person trying to speak on something that doesn’t effect me. Also I love your profile pic lol.
Not boring at all! I have been wanting to get into 3D modeling for so long but I know my pc is gonna crash since it has such little compacity, I can't wait to get started and move forward with my art
Always love watching the whole process and learning new techniques from your videos 😊 I work with zbrush as well and it's great to see your take on it.
Your art is literally breathtaking. I don’t even have words to describe how truly Inspiring you are. I don’t understand how you’re not at 1 mil yet haha
Seriously I stumbled across your channel and I’m freaking amazed by ur work people who skip are missing out and I find it so cute that u don’t mind it like fr that’s just🥺🥺but ur work is just freaking awesome ur seriously talented💓💓
I discovered your channel a few days ago and I really enjoy your videos ! I tried zbrush a bit last year but didn't have time to keep up with it as I'm studying animation for now. But watching you work in detail with all these steps help a lot to see "how to start" and build the model little by little from there. I understand better how to build a face (I only trained with faces) and then a body, and I really look forward to try it again in the future :) Also your render is absolutely gorgeous and imawonder's chara design really popped off, a truly incredible collab !! I think this is one of my favorite renders from yours, along with your baseball mage, your collab with Nadiaxel and your ""blood witch"" from photo ! Can't wait to see more, thank you for sharing :))
I feel like her eyes are more Asian in the 2-D image, and that this could have been emulated more in the 3-D sculpt. Otherwise, she's beautifully made!
I'd love to be in the Epithet Erased universe. Basically, if you're lucky enough to be the one in five people, you're born with powers. The twist is that all of your powers must revolve around one specific word, called an epithet. If you can connect it to your word, then you can do it. Everyone's epithet is unique to themselves, and they can get really strange. There's a character duo whose epithets are "Coupon" and "Bellybutton", for context. I think it''s the only fantasy story (that I know of) that doesn't revolve around some big evil that'll destroy the world. I won't have to be scared for my life, if the show's plot is just "NECKLACE. GET." lmao Enough about my favourite show ever, you're actually a really amazing sculptor! You always pop onto my feed eve now and then. and it never ceases. to amaze me.
I've never thought i could stay and watched till the end, I did not know about the software you use and now I'm obsessed with character design and even the process of it, the hair especially hahaha! great job ben!! 💗
Have you experimented with "negative lighting" in blender? You can give any light source a negative value (by typing in a minus) so you can reduce the (colored) lights in specific areas.
25:11 I'd pick teleportation. I would alway teleport to open areas and at a height of 5 feet as to not port into anyone. But flying would be the power I would really want.

Also "hard works beats talent when talent doesn't work hard" I love that quote cause so many ppl rely on talent when they could get a million times better feeding and growing it with knowledge
Both go hand in hand. ^^^. Hard work and talent, talent and hard work. Vise versa. Ying and yang. Both ways. Dont forget. 💜.

@@AkumaDayo Not really lol

no the cat ‘ring’ is definitely for punching (specifically for taking someone’s eyes out)
Yeah, they're basically brass knuckles, but shaped like cat ears. Lol
yeah they are typically kept as a women's self-defense item because they look inconspicuous on a keychain or purse.
They're made by Meow Defense Shop. They also sell some pretty awesome knives.
pokey stab
Plagg claws out! sorry MLB reference *cough* *cough*
please dont bully me-
I skipped to the end of the video and was immediately confronted and called a “Dirty Skipper” 😂
Same now I feel like an asshole and I'm being watched
him:what shape is this

him:It's a sphere right?
Me:Right.Right.
Him:Wrong.

Thanks so much!
@@deadpanbog70988 sorry to correct u its why thank you
Fun fact the two finger ring is for punching you would usually go for the eyes with a ring like that!
Isn't that the point of brass knuckle rings? And if a 4 foot person wore that ring, they'd go for the jewels or mansion.
Me: a simple 2d scribbler

lol not quite that good but thanks!

After watching this I’m interested in learning 3D sculpting. I didn’t know that was even a thing
I feel like her face is too thin. This is really cool and impressive tho
@Grimm she’s the top comment
yeah just a tiiiiny bit thin
Yeah definitely
Totally need wider face.. and eyes wider apart.. model now looks too 'angry'
Great timelapse tho!
Not the program I was expecting him to use, but this one requires much more skill! And this is totally cool
I haven't even gotten to the sculpting yet and... already subscribing... you have the best energy aahhh 😭
i wish i knew you earlier but your work is soooooooooooooooooooo freacking amazing keep doing what you're doing!!
