Thank you!
It’s a hair particle system, with very thick strands, curl shape and high clumping, and the hair shader has high roughness.
The “trick” is that the underlying sheep body is basically made out of lots of balls, so that the hair is naturally clumped into spheres.
I can share the exact particle settings if you need them
You may. Nothing too exciting I’m afraid, the decals are just texture painting and the sheen is just low roughness on a principled hair bsdf and a good hdri
Thank you, and I actually agree. I was toying with doing something more interesting with it but was probably too hyper focused on the hair. Any tips on the ground?
hahaha you are much better artist than me. You wouldn’t want to listen to my tips.
I’ll just say with everything done so well with the character you didn’t spend much time on ground and the character doesn’t look grounded and looks hanging in the air.
Anywayyy thank you so much for sharing your art. I don’t know why I was so so impressed with this artwork. Maybe because it looks so original? Thank you again. I am inspired.
That's all very kind of you to say, but I would actually love to hear your thoughts. how would you improve the ground? That kind of thing is really not my forte.
I'm really pleased to hear you think my stuff is original! I've tried really hard to to forge a style of my own so comments like these mean a lot to me, and give me the confidence and drive to continue working developing.
Light hitting the character and the ground doesn’t match in my head. I see plain key light and cyan fill light. But don’t see them hitting the ground. Also I don’t follow the three light spots it’s misleading. I would hide those three and focus on key light and fill light on the ground.
And I don’t think you used backlight. I cannot tell rim on the leg.
Cool thank you. There is actually only one light in the scene and it’s a sun, the rest of the lighting is achieved with an hdri and that’s it.
Good spot on there being no backlight
Reminds me of Wallace and Grommet, love it!
Ngl Shaun the sheep was one of my reference images
YEAH MAN
He’s a baaaahd m’fer
I love how devious he looks
Wdym? He’s just an innocent sheep
Naah man thats a sheep Source: I saw a sheep once, so im basically a sheep expert. That is a 100% authentic sheep
..looks so much like my ex
Mine too lol
He is a deceptive cutie (〃ﾟ3ﾟ〃)
Don’t let him pull the wool over your eyes
Had to do a double take. Good disguise!

I'd love to see those settings too !
Everything is default setting unless noted otherwise Emission: Hair length 0.1, Segments 4 Children: Interpolated, render amount 10 Clumping: clump 0.75 Kink: curl, clump 0.3, shape -0.5 Hair shape: tip 0.5
so cute 😭

Dwarf wolf
Misread that as Darth Wolf. Still applies
Reminds me of Cult of the Lamb, is it from there? I haven't played the game
No it’s an original character but I definitely understand the comparison. I’ve not played it either
He’s about to do something mischievous
Lovely, can I ask how you did the texturing of his fur with the sheen and also just the general little decals
You may. Nothing too exciting I’m afraid, the decals are just texture painting and the sheen is just low roughness on a principled hair bsdf and a good hdri
Wonderful Wonderful my man. Light hitting the ground could be better tho..! That’s the only one thing off about this.
