Haven’t participated in a few weeks, but I may change that and see what I can do with this one.

Yee · October 28, 2020, 3:54pm

I’ll try to make some time to enter this week, I’ll probably do some lowpoly/pixel art thing, probably something based on peanuts.

Alexandra_Ispas · October 28, 2020, 8:07pm

Why peanuts? Since when do peanuts have anything to do with Halloween? I’m genuinely confused here, and intrigued

Yee · October 28, 2020, 8:25pm

Peanuts the cartoon, Charlie Brown and the gang.

Alexandra_Ispas · October 28, 2020, 8:46pm

Oh, I’m not familiar with the cartoon, but it makes more sense! I’m eager so see what your project is going to look like.

Miss_B · October 28, 2020, 11:19pm

Ohhhh, as a kid I loved the weekly Charlie Brown comic strip in the Sunday newspapers. Also loved when they started animating the “gang”, and showing them regularly on TV. Don’t recall if they ever made it to the movie theaters, or not, as that was too many decades ago for me to count.

Tyger2 · October 29, 2020, 7:31am

Classic! Reminds me of a VHS tape we used to have with this and the Garfield Halloween special. Spooky!

Alexandra_Ispas · October 29, 2020, 5:56pm

It’s time to decorate in case monsters and princesses come trick or treating, but first, better hide that cosmic horror in the wardrobe. No safer place to keep it obviously. Cause after all, we might want to show some tricks of our own, right? And just letting it wander around the house would ruin the effect.

You might need to up your brightness a little to catch all the details (or most details actually).
The images and textures are all from google searches except the webs that I got from here: https://www.creativeshrimp.com/how-to-make-a-spider-web-in-blender.html This is also where I found the tutorial on actually using that texture. Pretty awesome, really!
I’m looking forward to seeing what projects everyone else makes.

Here is a lighter version in case anyone has trouble seeing in the dark.

Leon_V · October 29, 2020, 8:17pm

Trick or treat.

Yee · October 30, 2020, 10:25pm

Just wanted to put an update, this required a lot of UV unwrapping which a lot of people hate, but I found a very weird way to approach this, create the texture first, then unwrap, don’t know if that’s a standard but it worked really nice here, specially with the pumpkins which I was afraid to unwrap because of previous nightmarish experiences with that kind of shape.

I still need to add textures to the ground, windows and door, also add a lot of detail and the protagonist of this little story, so I might not be able to finish this on time, but I’ll try.

This was stressing me out so I decided to finish this today maybe I’ll add more detail later.

Skeleton Crew

The skull and hands were reused from a previous project, but I removed quite a few verts to make them as low-poly as the skeleton. The weapons are from my ongoing low poly weapons project. The skeleton, modeled and rigged, is new.

FedPete · October 31, 2020, 3:00pm

Resemblance Army of Darkness.
You have time, add more details?!

Blest · October 31, 2020, 3:52pm

Cool scene!

Leon_V · October 31, 2020, 4:24pm

Jason and the Argonauts too.

Miss_B · October 31, 2020, 5:18pm

The poses of the second one from the left, and the second one from the right, make me think of zombie skeletons.

FedPete · October 31, 2020, 7:21pm

Activate denoiser?

Tyger2 · October 31, 2020, 10:14pm

I want to, but I’m too busy the next couple days. Maybe after the challenge I will go back and add more.

Leon_V · October 31, 2020, 11:05pm

I was thinking about that. I should try it out at some point but didn’t mind a grainy halloween porch at night for this image.
