Love the expressions!

Retopo is around 16k tris but I did apply an additional subdiv to smooth it a bit.

More maw practice sculpting. This one I did attempt to retopo properly and apply another multi-res sculpt pass.

I picked @snek3d.bsky.social for today.

Very true! Or cottonmouth

Last bit, in the future I might experiment with non traditional mouth coloring as sometimes it looks cool imo.

I was also experimenting with a custom roughness map (darker areas appear wetter). I mainly guessed where saliva would build up... I made this in sculpt mode using color attributes and baked the results into the remesh.

For the retopology I only used the remesh and a shrinkwrap modifier before setup up the multi-res. I did this because I wanted to animate the result a bit but not put much effort into manually remeshing.

Oooo, I always wondered what you used for those awesome animations you did.

Looking at references of real snakes. I sculpted each part of the mouth indivisually then using a remesh to bake all the details from the folds.

Sculpting maw practice, making use of the multi-resolution modifier. Rendered with a mix of Cycles & Eevee.

I have great need. 🍕🔥

Playing with color schemes a bit too.

Quick sculpt today. Wanted to see what a snake would look like with scrunching / wrinkling.

This tail got me feeling a special kinda way...

Okay, okay, last one for now 😋

You wouldn't give a snake eyelashes...

Any small issues or anything I may have missed, let me know and i'll see about doing small patches.

Happy Easter!

Tongue rigged 👅

Might be useful for 2D digital artists as well.

Anatomy 👏 For 👏 Sculptors 👏

I also recommend their book series for learning about anatomy in general.

Though I'm not really too sure on how to get these working with appending the model in a new blend file. It seems only some of them come across.

[WIP] My first real attempt at using the pose library.

- eyelids are back (now with lower lids)
- lower jaw is now split into left and right + main control
- character likeness improved
- better neck deformation

WIP. Don't forget to stretch!
