So I have been MIA for a long time now.. I’m now working in the arctic in Alaska- The free housing, food, and learning experiences here have allowed me to sort of rebuild myself mentally and to finally get ahead financially

@spiny_bro THANK YOU!!
Translating both Popple and Fawful into 3D have been tricky, but comments like this make it satisfying!! It means the world to me

[Sean Hicks @SeanHicksART]

For the stage that I have planned for Fawful (with concept art I'll be showing in the near future), familiar faces will appear as background characters! Popple is one of them! Prince Peasley and Queen Bean will also make an appearance.

[Sean Hicks @SeanHicksART]

Also this is not a thought I've shared, but can I say how freeing it is to not have to worry too much about putting the character on a pre-made skeleton like for a bower jr skin? I still want to make it happen at some point ofc, but priority is a custom ssbu fighter.

[Sean Hicks @SeanHicksART]

The cloak is very much a wip, but it is fun to show how I check proportions as I work on translating a character with a distinct background like this! There isn't much official art, so the sprites help! Midbus went through a similar workflow!

The stage layout itself will be this! Heavily inspired by Rivals of Aether; a huge thanks to @Avial_Andrew for coming up with this layout! I am not good at stage design, so he was a big help on this. I just splash paint on things lol

[Sean Hicks @SeanHicksART]

@giacomobonus Thank you for asking! I’ve been doing okay! :] Always good to hear from you too
I was on hiatus for a bit there while doing some seasonal jobs, and now I’m doing some rotational work in the Alaskan Arctic. It’s crazy what life can bring you sometimes LOL

[Sean Hicks @SeanHicksART]

@YeahAGuyReally Thank you for saying that, it means a lot to me

I still am when I can! I hope to do even more later this year when I have a better life/work balance going

My beansona! Based on the Beanish in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. The overalls outfit was made specifically for a SM64 mod of my character! #mariooc

Princess Shroob is somewhere off screen fallen on the ground or something

Ult modding has made some interesting conversations on my island LOL

[Sean Hicks @SeanHicksART]

@Shi4rley Yeah! I’m hoping to share updates on it when I can, as well as get feedback too!

[Sean Hicks @SeanHicksART]

A custom fighter is in development...
please enjoy this concept art I made for Fawful's headgear! Tried to incorporate the qualities from both M&L:BiS and M&L:SS for fluid animations + expressions + believable mechanical functionality.

[Sean Hicks @SeanHicksART]

This will be for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but I do plan to make a brawlified model for those who desire it! That will be until after however! Ult first!

[Sean Hicks @SeanHicksART]

@BrandyBuizel I wouldn't recommend it for everyone- just depends on the person!
What I do involves a lot of physical activity for 12 hours a day until I go on R&R. If you're really good at IT work, etc, then it wouldn't be as strenuous in comparison!

[Sean Hicks @SeanHicksART]

@faffreux @Cybersglitch064 You flatter me dnfndjrf

Seriously, thank you

[Sean Hicks @SeanHicksART]

Recently I’ve been getting into custom Magic Cards to get back into an art groove again! Here is one I made of Gruntilda! I’ll be making her sisters next! (Due note that I didn’t make the card layout here!)
