Jumping around a bit. Returned Grandma to the back burner and applied texture and light effects to the alien's spaceship. It has a nice robotic meatball quality. Seeing my original sketches starting to come to life in this way is very exciting.
Progress on my second attempt at the old lady. Way happier with this than the first version. Everyone I've shown her to has been horrified, which makes the whole effort worth while.
The first Grandma model I created was a little lackluster, so I'm starting over from scratch. The model is still in a very rough form, still pushing and pulling those first few rows of verts, getting things flowing right. I promise the skirt won't be sheer in the final version.
