Spider-Gwen! This has been absolute blast to work on! I saw this variant cover by Robbi Rodriguez for my favorite character and just had to try and animate it! It was a blast to work on, I learned a bunch, and she's definitely one of my favorite characters of all time!

Day 3562: Bonsai Colors! I was surprisingly productive and made a lot of progress with this step thanks to being on call with a friend, so I'm calling it here for now! I'm more than set up to end up with a really solid looking result this time, and I'm hyped for it!

[Dyde21 (Commissions OPEN!) @Dyde21]

Day 3561: Bonsai! I decide this month to work on smaller studies but to try to render them out more. I'm going to try and keep the forms pretty simple but really dig into the details. That's why I decided to start with this. Hopefully I can pull off what I have in mind!

Day 3560: Wind-up Zero Final! I think I'm pretty content with where this ended up! Overall this month had a decent set of studies I think. However, while I don't know what subject is next I think I want something I can focus on rendering out a little more, not sure though.

Day 3559: Wind-up Zero Clarity! Just a few more tweaks this time to try and make things a bit cleaner and I tried to sharpen a couple edges. Honestly, this is already pretty close to how I imagine the finished result is going to look, so the final step will minor I think!

[Dyde21 (Commissions OPEN!) @Dyde21]

Day 3558: Wind-up Zero Adjustments! This time I tried to fix up her posture a bit, cleaned up some edges and just tried to make everything a bit nicer. It still has quite a ways to go, but I think I made enough progress for this step. I'll keep cleaning it up bit by bit!

[Dyde21 (Commissions OPEN!) @Dyde21]

Day 3557: Wind-up Zero Legs! This time I focused on the legs, and I think they're looking pretty solid. Honestly, this already looks like how some of my studies end up, so with all the extra time I have left for this study, I think I can really bring this to the next level!

[Dyde21 (Commissions OPEN!) @Dyde21]

@MyLegalName_ @shubmeia @NoContextArkn No I'm talking about HSR. Every map ever available in the game is STILL available in the game. If they made a unique britania for the FSN collab, and the collab eventually ends, the map would be removed too which is something they haven't done yet in HSR.

Day 3556: Wind-up Zero Chest! Not too much progress this time as I was surprisingly exhausted. Still, I think the chest is looking a bit better and my goal for the next step will be to finish up the legs. If I manage to do so, I'll have plenty of time to clean things up!

[Dyde21 (Commissions OPEN!) @Dyde21]

@shubmeia @NoContextArkn While I think the whole story of it was pretty lackluster and I hate the silent section, I'm actually not surprised about the reused location. The collab is said to be available "long term" but not permanent. Temp maps are never done in the game.

Day 3555: Wind-up Zero Hat! I started with her hat and then moved onto her head this time. While I think it's looking a bit better, I'm still pretty unhappy with how the face looks currently. Still, I don't want to get too bogged down in one area so I'll just revisit it later.

[Dyde21 (Commissions OPEN!) @Dyde21]

Day 3554: Wind-up Zero Background! I was pretty exhausted today so I didn't make as much progress as I wanted to this time. Still, I think the sky is looking decent and while I'm not thrilled about the ground I think it's passable for now. I'll give it another pass later.

[Dyde21 (Commissions OPEN!) @Dyde21]

Day 3553: Wind-up Zero Color! I added in a basic color pass and broke it up into workable layers. While I'm actually not too worried about Zero herself yet, I am pretty unsure of what I want to do want to do with the background still. I'll have to experiment with a few ideas.

[Dyde21 (Commissions OPEN!) @Dyde21]

Day 3552: Wind-up Zero Tweaks! My schedule today has been super messed up and I've been feeling a bit off physically so I took it easy and only made some minor tweaks this time. Still, it's looking better and if I'm feeling less sick tomorrow I'm going to try and make up time!

[Dyde21 (Commissions OPEN!) @Dyde21]

Day 3551: Wind-up Zero! She is one of my favorite characters in the whole game. I'm bummed her minion is locked behind a soundtrack, but I'll grab it someday! For now, I'm going to take this study step by step and try and develop a solid base first and make use of the extra days!

@duncTTV @Glasses2themax @Haxyn911 The inclusion of AI in the paintings was a poor choice and should be undone and replaced, I fully agree. But pretending like the entire game is slop or unfun because of a small aspect in an otherwise hand crafted, enjoyable, relaxing experience feels disingenuous imo.

[Dyde21 (Commissions OPEN!) @Dyde21]

@duncTTV @Glasses2themax @Haxyn911 They did hire people, nothing was AI ground up, it was used as a supportive tool to augment their own work, as it has been for decades. Yeah, destroy all data centers, I agree. But when 95% was hand crafted, with paintings that NEED to be replaced, it was still a labor of love.

[Dyde21 (Commissions OPEN!) @Dyde21]

@Glasses2themax I agree! I think it was an unnecessary step and something that should be replaced. I'm less bothered by the grammar touch-ups because word editing has been done automatically for like decades before Gen-AI. But I agree the paintings should be replaced, 100%.

[Dyde21 (Commissions OPEN!) @Dyde21]

@duncTTV @Glasses2themax @Haxyn911 I'm not sure I agree because I think having rigid, unnuanced takes about things only hurts the argument and movement in the eyes of people you want to convince. If you want the general public to agree, people going 0 to 100 on things makes people take it less seriously imo.

[Dyde21 (Commissions OPEN!) @Dyde21]

Day 3550: Wind-up Lyna Final! I was a bit all over the place with this study from start to finish. While I think it looks somewhat decent in the end, it's definitely not something I'm super proud of. Only one study left of the month and I'm going to try my best on it this time!

[Dyde21 (Commissions OPEN!) @Dyde21]

@Glasses2themax @Haxyn911 I think saying the love and passion is hollow when everything else was hand crafted, and even the images were supposedly not AI ground up, I think it's okay to have a nuanced take here and still enjoy a game that made you relax! Even while acknowledging a distaste for the AI.

[Dyde21 (Commissions OPEN!) @Dyde21]

@Glasses2themax @Haxyn911 While I kinda agree and I'm largely against Gen Ai across the board, I think it's important to understand that, at least according to their disclosure, 98% of it was a labor of love. It WAS a creation made by people. 4 touch ups of paintings, and spell check isn't the same.
