Before I *finally* open commissions, I wanted to make a few models to sell on Gumroad/Ko-fi! My hope is to generate some passive income while I'm student teaching next year. Here's a WIP of a navigator lad! He's just one of a few that I want to finish.
These model/rigs will be more generic, in the original shows style. The original style was a ton of fun to work in! Definitely different than the AVTP/AVTP-ish style I'm used to working in.
Ok so I saw that one of the posts was scheduled for April Fools and like. Usually I don't do anything because I don't like lying or messing with people, but this was kinda obligatory and it felt light-hearted and non-targeted enough.
If you're not familiar with the upload schedule, the normal update is still coming, at the scheduled time! That's 5pm UK time :)
Obsessed with this little gag in “Backseat Drivers From Beyond the Stars” when, as the Resisty approach The Massive, the Tallest drop the donuts they were excitedly mowing though beforehand.
And then after like one second of pause, all of the navigators on the bridge (who, mind you, are almost always portrayed as some of the most mature and rational irkens of the whole species) all freaking swarm forward and start fighting each other for those pastries like a pack of starving rats.
The way they all begin the shot not even doing their jobs, too. Just gathered up to watch Red and Purple eat those donuts and quietly pray for scraps like this lmfao. I assume away from post just because the Massive was parked for a break. AND the fact that not one of them hesitates for even a second before basically stealing food from their distracted, but still almighty leaders. Either those were just some particularly good donuts, or Irkens act like greedy cat/dogs whenever they get the chance around someone who currently has food they don’t.

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE TO THIS POST!
Whether you just want to see some more cool Blender toon shaded stuff, or you're interested in potentially purchasing the rig, keep reading! This post has a lot of fun info in it!
This rig has 6 custom expressions, with a 7th neutral expression and a "blink" expression too! Wait... isn't that 8 expressions? Hmmm.
Like my recent previous models, these expressions are easily controlled with a GUI slider, and can be mix-and-matched to form different complex emotions!
This ones a fun one. He's got colors! Lots of colors! The different parts of the model come with 3 different "premade" color options! You can either chose my preset color combinations, or youu'll be able to mix and match your own. If my math is correct, thats 18 different color combinations? I'm not sure, but its a lot!
Overview of the topology/geometry. This isn't something I normally publish with my models, so this is a cool behind the scenes for those reading through. For those potentially interested in purchasing the model, you'll get 2 files. One higher poly model and one lower poly.
Now, as I always do, check out the video showcasing the mouth movement, emotion sliders, and ease of posing the rig!
