πŸŒͺ️ Sultans of Twist

Animation is breathtaking. I do wonder if mere slowdown of speed or longer pause after he is in final position (and trying to hold it for as much as he can) could create even better experience? Because I must pause video as it seems too quick on me to absorb all whats happening, but hey it may be only me.
His breathing is so real and jacket stylish.
Also coloring is making each frame stand on its own like painted image!

β™ŸοΈ Checkmate

It always amaze me how fresh almost each new fold is... despite being similar to previous ones. This is best example... oh yeah I hope that chesspiece is solid heavy stone giving Andrzej just right push to reach grandmaster level :)
He is brave not showing any tension but I think I can see very faint hint of concentration in his gracious look!
Shifty
Maybe pictures are like wine, to some people all wine is the same, some can tell a difference between red and white, dry and sweet, only some can tell apart brands and countries XD

Yeah, I wondered if the chess piece would look heavy enough, to me it still doesn't really look like contributing much to Andrzej's stretch but it looked nice anyway ^^ I'm mainly just trying to learn how to model more stuff in 3D, so it helps when I can use them in some artworks ^^

Incredible... every part of picture has something interesting going on! Like floor isn't simple texture but has structure, then higher is cute tiptoeing, even higher tempting crotch but whats next is even better! That seamless natural twists... but for me faces are absolute TOP :) Andrzej is really so feminine and awesome all around. But for me Yasha is sweetest (!!!)
They both look so realistic like a photo!
Shifty
I'm so glad you enjoyed!! :D I find it amusing that in real life there as so many complex objects that would be hard or impossible to do in 3D, but instead photographers try their best to simplify scenes, use plain backdrops or simple artificial-looking objects for photosets, so it's quite easy to create scenes like that in 3D that look totally like real life photoshooting :P
Also glad you noticed the details on the floor etc, thankfully we live in the era of physics-based rendering where even free 3D software lets you create realistic images with enough skills :D

πŸ”« Toy Soldier

You know... at first glance whole situation could seem wrong but when you look closely it is clear that the one who is toying with unseen audience is Yasha. Just one deep look into his luscious seductive eyes tells it all!
Another great thing is capturing X-) of the movement... can totally see Yasha will be in whole different position in blink of an eye!
Shifty
Nah, I just thought he's supposed to be an unbreakable soldier but never had any soldier-like pics...

🐌 Black Snails

Ahaaa so somewhere in your "waist" basement you are training secret army to bend the world! Now that explains it all Yuni :-)) Hmm they are cute thou...

ps: I Helmut's latest adventure is a blast I plan to definetly comment on that one :-)
Shifty

⌚ Waist Watch

I wanted to wait and think about image more deeply but I just somehow need to comment right away because I like that it is kind of random idea which turned out quite interestingly. Like if Yasha can really pull this off without pulling his head off X-) then he is trully taking lead among other gorgeous bendies! The waist watch being still on is big+ (as he has also reason to put head that way).
Really unique... do not think I ever seen similar scene (ghosts aren't counting). Hmm flexible neck... interesting indeed. Ie Yasha could twist on one side with waist and on other with neck on some spooky Halloween special :)
Shifty
I guess it confirms his last name Lebedev which means Swan and also his jacket pattern depicting swans, so it almost comes at no surprise he can bend his neck like a swan :D

This picture I almost didn't want to upload it but thought at least would show it for a couple of days...

⌚ Waist Watch

Woaha... even better... hmm only thing which I can imagine better is one most normal (black lower part) and that is only because YOU did already better job at sexy black pants on other pics :-)
Iam always so charmed by your little puns... to tell truth I never liked much such wordplay but with yous I laugh always! And lol you are right about those names!
Shifty
You are marvelous Yuni... Yasha looks here like tender flower, ready to be gently stroked and kissed. And the hidden joke of hourglass shape with wrist watch is so neat. As are real watches on that place :-) And I like so much even clothing and his cute face.
Story is very funny too :-p
Thanks for this beautiful treat!!!
Shifty
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed the outfit, etc... at some point I'll need to try and remake it because here it's quite rushed but not bad as a concept :P But somehow in my mind I can picture a way more gorgeous version of it and hope to improve it someday :P

Glad you liked the story too, I was surprised all the political parties had so many idiotic puns hidden in their names πŸ˜‚ Nutsies, Analchists, Cummunists, Demoncraps, I mean come on... no way it was just a coincidence 🀣

🎸 Bendy Rocker

Commenter speaking about his cute deeply felt is right, great job there! It did not quite catched it at first, but interesting detail as he is singer after all. Also moon goes well with his name :)
Shifty
Didn't know what to put in the background though I think he's a special wolfy who only howls at twin moons XD
You did it again... surprised in awesome way. Wolfy is just Star at first glance. Blue coloring goes so naturaly with his pale skin... .
Most of all I like, that he is so new and fresh yet looks like classic music star.

ps: Love his full name: Wolfgang Asmodeus Cockhard
Shifty
Very glad you enjoyed him! He's a character I wanted to make for years, maybe without quite realizing it, but I've always been a fan of the rock/metal scene that I think contains some of the prettiest guys... 😏

πŸŒ— Fifty Fifty

Oh! There is misunderstanding Iam totally onboard with Yan's new form, what I meant were litteraly two same bodies like here :-)
yuni.us/total-refold

Ofcourse I saw Nimbus, but never read story till now, thanks :) It is obvious dream and yet not that common... maybe its as always about "execution"... you need some sexy horny and good kitty, not just some alley cat for fantasy to work. Plus well it would help if human half was contortionist leaving even catboy in awe as flexibility goes hehe.

Would not use word disrespectful as it is overused lately. And as videogames goes... I could play some for 100 years and still have funn albeit they are multiplayer titles (which I stopped playing cos there is not enough time). In fact Iam pretty sure I could live 10 normal lives and still be reasonably ok by the end (maybe I could create images by that time lol). And when I imagine having new bodies and senses or even better mind to understand whole reality somehow differently... then 10000s of years seem ok.
The fact of your beloved ones diing or favorite things being destroyed is completely separate issue which sux no matter how long you live. As is overal stupidity which you would encounter without chance to correct it again and again and again.... yeah that could get kind of frustrating and "burning out" some passion.

And as good or original stuff goes, there is never enough but always some to be found... just listen to this :-D
I just try to be eternal optimist as that is prop only way how not become bitter realist... which is boring mostly - I know... .

Shifty
I don't remember Nimbus's story, I think I just need to spend more time in Blender trying to make fur work and maybe one day I'll do it...

I don't know, I think the purpose of my art is not to be realistic in describing conflicts and psychological traumas. But more like making a parody on "serious" things. When I smell some crap coming close to my art, I always flush the toilet so to speak XD Gotta separate the shit from the sexy asses, if you will.... XDD

I think all negative things are our enemies, we shouldn't indulge in them but fight them mercilessly. Yan Feng Gu is the same, if boredom gets to him, he finds a way to defeat that boredom, he doesn't start dwelling in it. I think we should never invest ANY time into ANY negativity, don't let it turn into a comfy chair but burn it with fire. That's why I see most people in this world as miserable pieces of shit because they really like to indulge in the negative and turn it into a comfy chair because then they can complain about it to others to feed their feeling of importance.

So on a brighter tone, when Yan Feng Gu ran into this division curse, he felt extremely lucky to experience whole new possibilities. Let's hope he knows what he's doing and everything is under control XD
Some time ago I tried to imagine how it would be to control two bodies with one head so to speak. Most of the times it seemed impractical, but when I imagined sex (ie you use such body only then) it started to make lot of sense... you would feel both ends at once, perfecting techniques everyday.
And then when you would invite your new lover it be some very special threesome :D

Mortality... ie most sad depiction for me was in ES ingame books about elf queen Barenziah. Where she described each new human king as another "dog" which lived few years and then new appeared to the point she lost track.
On other hand there was passage about some khajiit thinking lustfuly about young blond haired human lad :-) and that was super nice image. Having tender moments with catlike pal... then maybe just sleep in his warm, fulffy and cuddly embrace.
Shifty
Dunno, I can move both arms and even individual fingers without any effort, so why would I have problems moving two body halves :P Sex would be like making πŸ‘Œ with one hand and πŸ‘‰ with the other basically XD

Wow, that's so disrespectful of Barenziah, isn't it XD But she's right, life is only fresh in the first 20 years, when you see the first 3-4 iterations of the same thing... then you start losing track in the constant repetitions. It's like a video game that's only nice while you're learning and after you get good, it's just boring.

Oh, I've never thought of that before... If humans love to rub and cuddle cats so much, what would it be like to have a khajiit beloved XD Reminds of that catboy Nimbus I had some years ago, maybe one day I'll find a way to make someone like him in 3D... :P

⛏️ Basil plays Minecraft

This whole idea is so alive... making Basil into real game streamer in a sense :-) but what is more you pulled off some incredible animation at 0:20+
I have no idea how complex or time consuming such art is but it does make Basil way more cute and "real". If it could last for bit longer when he ie exercise that be real game changer.
And thats why I managed to say just WOW at first!
Shifty
Thank you so much!! :D
It's not something I would enjoy doing every day, but it was interesting to try creating a letsplayer setup and as you say make Basil more "real" :D

πŸ₯‡ Golden Backbone

Wow, just wow. Thats one sport I would watch in TV :-)
Spine prize is quite unique and well... nice?!
Go Yasha go!
Shifty
In India they have a lot of yoga tournaments where all ages and genders are competing equally and basically it's all about demonstration of flexibility, except the poses aren't free-form but all have names and thus can be learned and repeated by others, even improved to create new poses. So at least in one country they have it and you can often find it on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook... Now all they need to do is touch the back of the head to the crotch and it's perfect :D

🎱 Helmut Game

I always wanted to do games, but realized complex one which I really wanted are impossible taks.
So I tried simple vertically scrolling shooter, but at the time I wanted somehow nice graphics so I started learning C which turned to be bit of a nightmare. So next atempt was python and there I managed to do very simple prototype but it took months and again I realized that for even simple game which would be ugly (can't do graphics) years would be needed... so I gave up. Same story as with learning japanesse or painting... each of these things I tried repeatedly like 3-4 times before relizing there just isn't enough time if I want to keep doing other things I already do.

So the fact that you obviously MADE IT now at least... is amazing you made it past that worst hurdle finaly!
Plus I think this "RPG" style is like "real" game I used to like 2D platformers but always regarded them as too 2D :-D (even 3D ones) ehm :-D I hope it make sense.

Highlighting of unfinished places might work fine via certain hotkey like "tab" or on smartphone via special icons. Red dots or gems in default view would ruin your art in my oppinion, break immersion.

Minigames uaaaaa I get the point but in that case I probably never see most of rewards X-D Iam just not too got at them.

In any case wish you most of luck and will!
Shifty
Yeah I think it would take years if you don't know how to do it, that's why I think it was a good idea to make a lot of unfinished games over the years to learn things and keep trying. You see, I give up a lot but I never give up for good, I just see what I like and do it, if it doesn't work out then I give up but if I feel like doing it again in the future I just get back to it. I just don't care if something didn't work for me in the past, I just keep gathering infos about it for a new restart one day…

Now I'm using the Godot game engine, which has a Python-like language and I think it's practically the Blender of the gamedev world, it has incredible features yet very lightweight and optimized for performance, very amazing resource system and memory management that doesn't have enormous memory leaks like Java and also doesn't crash like C++, also the games work on the web with WebAssembly making it faster than Javascript, best of all it's free, like Coco Chanel's famous saying "best things in the world are free", I think Blender and Godot are on the list XD

I dunno, i just learn most things with Google and YouTube, thanks to a lot of tutorials you can find nowadays... I'm even starting to get better with Blender, modeling and rigging, so my current goal is to switch over from DazStudio to Blender and make my own characters instead of altering the Daz people, maybe even some stylized characters, and experiment with shaders, hopefully change my art style again to something more interesting.

But I agree, about 10 years ago gamedev was hell and very little you could do than learning it the hardcore way…but yeah, I don't wanna make my games super hard to play so no worries about difficulty…my goal is to make Helmut walk around the world based around my art just for fun but mini games could make activities more interesting I think.
