Hey everyone! My name's Elle, I'm (very) new here, excited to join the community, and really excited for this competition!
I've never really shared progress pics of my work before, and it's a little embarrassing (but also strangely liberating).
Is he a God, is he a mad scientist, is he a wizard? I don't know yet, but I do know that he only has 1 goal: to create the perfect plantain.
I blocked out the basic character yesterday, and I'll be focusing on sculpting the hand and skull next.
I hope everyone is having a great day!

Bon apetit for Dr. M and Dr Jivago asks if that banana is ripe!?
Good modelling btw. I don't know if you intend to include a jungle background
with your finished work, it's looking great already.

Tue, Aug 27, 2024Haha optimal banana ripeness is a hotly debated topic! But this banana is just a placeholder, as it's not yet reached ✨Peak Plantain Performance✨
Thank you so much, that means a lot! The background is going to be a glimpse into Dr M's top secret laboratory, but please don't tell him, he'll throw a fit (or something else...) Are you entering the comp?

Tue, Aug 27, 2024You're welcome, if any good idea comes, why not, as there's plenty of time for the challenge.: )
Hi Elle,
It looks like you'll end up high with this one, at least I think.
Waiting for the final render, but for now, very impressive 3D sculpting.
Good Luck,
Greetings Peter

Wed, Sep 04, 2024Heya, thank you so much, I really appreciate it! I think I'm going to post another WIP shortly, so I hope Dr M lives up to your expectations.
Are you entering the competition?
Thanks again, Elle.

Dr M WIP! I've added hair, textures and really focused on building the background and his world (I know this isn't a background competition, but I just can't help myself :') ) I also believe his banana has finally reached *Peak Plantain Performance*, but it may also destroy everything so y'know, swings and roundabouts...
! REPORT
I've been working on sculpting and texture painting Dr. M's very handsome face, although I have gone back and forth a few times between this texture paint and the original procedural texture... hmmm... all opinions are very welcome!
! REPORT
Sticking with the texture paint, which I'm really enjoying! Although I'm having an issue where the rendered viewport won't update unless I save the texture paint image, which is annoying... it updates in the solid viewport, just not the rendered. Anyone have any ideas?
! REPORT
Adding some shape to Dr. M's lab coat, with the plan to re-render the front, back and side views for his case file (which I deleted my previous post of, to replace with the new version, forgetting that I actually need to do the stuff first :') )
Next, on to the toe beans!

Hi Elle,
Well done and for now just wait, that's also fun, especially when the end date is reached and everyone is in suspense.
For me you are definitely a contender for a prize, good luck.

Wed, Sep 18, 2024Hey Peter! I hope you're having a lovely Wednesday?
Thank you so much, again, it really means a lot. Although I'm not sure I'd call the suspense fun haha, it's definitely fun seeing all of the other entries come in! And I certainly had fun making Dr. M.
I'm tempted to start another character (that's itching to get out of my brain :')) and also tempted to start an entry for the Halloween comp, which may make the time pass faster!

And finally a thumbnail for the competition! I'm done for the moment, but may make some tweaks before the closing date...

Sat, Sep 21, 2024It’s great to see the character design finally finalised. Dr. M has done an incredible job, and the Mut8 banana looks amazing!

Sat, Sep 21, 2024Thank you so much! Now let's just hope his mega banana doesn't tear a hole in the fabric of space and time
Hi Elle,
unfortunately you didn't win, I'm a bit surprised that you're not in the top three or at least honorable mentions. For me your entry was definitely a winner, hope that's a small consolation. Hopefully they'll see that next time. Gr.Peter

Tue, Nov 26, 2024Same opinion here. The results are strange (at least). Better luck next time, 3113pixels

I enjoyed the process, learnt a lot and hopefully next time will play out differently for everyone who missed out, there were some entries I was really surprised to not see in the top!
