I might have forgotten I had this like a year ago. EH HEHEHEHE WHOOPS
Still trying to rig it, and I need to actually paint shadows on it (Thought to be honest I actually kind of like this look???)
BUT YEAH. modmad‘s Leap creature, still adorable. I actually want to get a little animation of this thing if I can ever figure the rig out.
oh wow!
Anonymous asked: I was wondering; what gender the Leap character are? the teachers please too I like them all very much, thank you!
the Leap don’t have genders \o/
So the amazingly skilled modmad gave me permission to model and animate her design, and I immediately leaped for it because christ guys look how cool this thing is and don’t even get me started on movement because I’m just hoping in my animation I can make it look half as lively and exciting as her art. D:
This is just the base mesh. I’m unwrapping it right now for texture work, then comes the fun part of rigging it and making it move. :D I’m trying to get better about showing work in progress stuff because dang art that I can show is scarce.
CLUTCHING AT MY FACE

more Leap things! clickity click for a bigger pic
These are The Teachers; Listen, Speed, Strength, Vision and Fall (main character here). Long waffling explanation of what the actual abilities are and encompass may appear soon but heck I’ve taken up enough of your dash already and I’m tired. Go me \o/
Inspired by Modmad’s gorgeous “Leap” designs. It’s still a work in progress, largely because my laptop won’t let me use Cubase for too long, otherwise it’ll bug out and start making horrible noises and/or crash.
It’s a bit darker than I had originally planned (and a bit repetitive), but I think it still sounds rather serene ^_^
ARE YOU KIDDING THIS IS LOVELY aaaah I can completely imagine this being the soundtrack for a trailer or a race/secret level :D
3,507 playsmore Leap doodles for you (alas, no time or strength to colour today)
one thing that I haven’t really seen in games is a real reward for following a tutorial if you take the option of following one; I’d quite like to see a system where the game play is intuitive and inviting enough that you can figure out most of your abilities/how to navigate the world by yourself, but if you want to you can seek out The Teachers for Lessons.
Lessons are not compulsory, but if you complete them you gain a boost in the ability that you have studied. Lessons can be difficult, however, and have to be followed in their entirety to gain the most benefit. Knowledge is also accumulative, so if you complete two compatible Lessons your character would be intelligent enough to combine them and gain a new ability from their own creativity.
Also hey leaf gliders to ride air currents to higher places (because everyone loves sedate drifty flying games right).
really need to work on my art skills vnjfbvjdbgs my digital stuff needs improving
been really thinking about my future and what i wanna do with my life, and i think i really want to go to an art college. so im trying to work on things other than ponies and pokemon
recently saw one of modmad’s(one of my inspirations actually) creations, and its such an interesting, unique character i figured id practice by doing some fanart of it. its not my best work but i still like it, and i hope mod does too. ;v;
EEE

Can you tell I gave up?

not in the slightest because this is brilliant and HEY WOW WHAT A FAB THING TO COME BACK TO
ALSO I’M BACK
HEY
I love jumping/flying dreams and man, would it ever be sweet to make a game that replicated that feeling
I think this game would be all about the loose-limbed springing effortlessly around and off high places, maybe having an adventure with a mission so you actually have a purpose but mostly just having a massive quiet world to zwoop around and be chill in
also shadow folk
I love shadow folk
