Second Week Dailies

 Another set of Voxel Dailies.  I need to make more time for my game development projects 😅

Below are the images are the videos I made for Twitter.

 La Pera, I tried to make it have more of a glass type of look with the color.  I liked the way the voxel modeling turned out.

 El Arbol, I was a little intimidated about making an a tree in an hour but I really liked the way it turned out.

 La Bota, I thought this one was going to be easy.  Boots are a weird and difficult shape 😅

 El Barril,  I think I should of tried to make it a bit thinner to improve the video.

Voxel Semi Dailies

 Last year during October I participated in Octobit.  The daily challenges that are month long never interested me because I felt I would get stuck and quit early.  Nonetheless I participated and stayed determined to finish.  After the challenge I noticed how productive I felt and with smaller scale projects I didn't feel too overwhelmed.  For this year I want to attempt to do daily projects however during Octobit I didn't have as much time for my game development.  Instead of doing art everyday I will do 64x64x64 voxel sized models 4 times a week and use the rest of my time on other projects.  For the first project I wanted to make 'Loteria' cards in Magica Voxel.  Here's what I did in the first week.

 The first card is 'La Escalera' it seemed like an simple piece to ease into the semi daily art.

 

 When I was working on 'El Cazo' I felt it looks rather dull in yellows so I used different colors.

 

 I regret making this particular bottle for 'La Botella'.  I love the bottle and beverage but my other cards were created with more colorful and less accurate colors. Next time I'll most likely do a different bottle with more colors.

 

 In the first week 'Las Jaras' was also done with more accurate colors but I like the way it came out.

Back to Work!

 

 

 After Octobit I took a break from art to enjoy some time off.  It's now time to start working again.  I will try to finish this Dark Stalkers Arcade cabinet in the next week.  Here is the current WIP.  Made and rendered in Magica Voxel.

Arcade Cabinet WIP

 After making the DarkStalkers title for the cabinet I wanted to make a side panel.  One character I wanted to feature is Morrigan.  She was always one of my favorite characters and I had a fun time adding her to the side.

Arcade Cabinet Lettering

 

 Finished doing the lettering for the top of the cabinet 😅 I still have to make some adjustments due to it not fitting ❗ Going to start putting base colors before starting to attempt pixel art.

Catching Up Attempt

 I had taken a break during August, now that I am reinvigorated I will be making up for lost time.  When I started this year I had the goal of doing one blog post every week, so during this month I will attempt to post two a week to make up for my lack of posts during August.  I wanted to do a small project so here is the start of my Arcade Cabinet.

Behind The Scenes for Rocky Road

 

BTS for #RockyRoad🛹
I was initially making it in #MagicaVoxel but started to have trouble fitting certain assets inside the 256x256x256 cube 😅#WIP #VoxelArt #PixelArt #LowPoly pic.twitter.com/gBHiF3aWD1

 Here is some BTS.  It became too hindering to make certain objects in multiple parts.  I wanted to keep using Magica Voxel but ultimately when I finished the first page of the comic I had to use photoshop.

Diner Slump

 

 I feel like I have been stuck on this kitchen for my diner scene for some time.  I don't exactly know what it could be that is keeping me from finishing up the shelves and other large features.  I'll try harder this week to finish it up so that I can move onto something else and see if I can ditch this slump.

Rocky Road Title Art

 

 

 I finished the Title art for my web comic Rocky Road.  Hopefully I will release the first chapter soon. 

I am making all the art in Magica Voxel.

WIP and Announcement

 

 

 I wanted a small break from working on the kitchen, so I decided to make a few plates.  I really enjoyed the Corn Dog episode and wanted to see if the dish would translate well in Voxels.  In the Corn Dog episode they also show pancakes so I made a stack as well.

 

 

 I have started working on a comic.  I plan to finish one chapter of this webcomic a month.  The name is Rocky Road, more info will come soon.

Updates!

 

 

Progress so far! Another wall is done. When I finish the kitchen area I will work on populating the rest of the diner. 

 

 The size of the kitchen is hard to grasp from my reference.  I noticed that it seems that the stove top is in the corner of the diner.  If I figure out the stoves size and location I will use it to guide me to finish the remainder of the  kitchen walls.

More Walls and a Door

 

 Been trying to finish the rest of the walls, Here is a corner before I started working on the door.

 After I added the door here is the current progress.

 Still trying to finish all the walls.  Here is the base for the other wall.

Figuring out a wall

 After thinking more about how I will approach the remainder of this project.  I feel the best way to stay motivated would be to finish the walls and then move onto the individual assets.  Here is part of a wall and the mini fridge.

Back to the Midnight Diner

I get free time after handing the mobile game build off after finishing my tasks.  When I was browsing Netflix I saw a banner for Midnight Diner.  I rewatched an episode and now feel motivated to finish my Voxel scene.  The free time I get between handing and receiving the build will now be used on this scene.

Working!! Progress on Diner and Mobile Game

I found out I have been taking screenshots wrong in MagicaVoxel 😅

I never really messed with the rendering engine in MagicaVoxel.  After accidentally hitting the button to switch to their renderer I saw how much better the screenshot looks without the object bounding boxes.  From now on I'll only take screenshots from the renderer 😅

Learned some string theory and added a score object after an enemy is destroyed

For my mobile game I wanted to start integrating the UI to prepare for play testing.  The score looked a little too dull on its own so I created a script to leave an object containing the score information from each unit on the spot where the enemy died.  Slow but progressing. 😴

Voxel and Prototype WIP

 

Finished the TV that will sit at the corner of my Diner scene.  The show uses an older TV so I went with a CRT I remember owning when I was a child.

Changed the enemy spawning system to premade waves instead of random number of enemies

My mobile SHMUP made some progress.  When I was originally making it I created a spawner that would generate a random number and send that many enemies down.  The enemy positions would be random as well in the initial spawner.  The new one requires me to create prefabs however I believe it will create more interesting game play with intricate patterns.

Midnight Diner - Voxel Food and Drinks

For my Voxel version of the diner from 'Midnight Diner', I started trying to fill the counter.  Here is what I have done so far.  Right now everything is still in Magical Voxel, I'll import all the meshes into Unity when I get closer to finishing.
