Thx to this video, Now I dont know what to expect when I see cute 3d character on thumnail

[@joaogabrielmachado8749]

Man, I wasn't expecting this when I clicked on the thumbnail. I thought it would open yet another modeling speedrun, but I ended up watching a super complete class. I didn't know about your work, but now I'm already following you, eager to see more. Congratulations on the great video.

[@tinynocky]

Wow thank you so much!

[@sakshipokharia]

Totally agree with @joaogabrielmachado8749. Really awesome work @tinynocky. Looking forward for more such content from you✨

[@tioluwaniolaogun2204]

Bro, I was expecting a rushed class on animating characters. But the video itself is cute😁😂❤️ I already subscribed and I can't wait to see more 😁😁

[@JeffRigler33]

I agree. Great work.

[@yuililith]

You did not just make a cute 3D character and gave a tutorial how to make one. You made us understand how Blender works and other theories that we can apply in different art styles!

[@shikaka9032]

[@faztter_dev]

Hi, emmm me name is kevin or too fastterdev dont is spiky inglish 😅

[@morti1710]

[@NeilMyatt]

So glad I watched this - it has SO much more info than the title suggests! This was like a potted mastercalss in photography, cinematography, art direction, character design, anatomy... THANK YOU tinynocky !

[@HarnaiDigital]

Dude this was really well edited bro. I am a 3D editor myself but this video was so engaging at every second.

[@huntresskira]

chibi mesh: tinynocky: "if you look at your character, and get a sense of uncanny valley-" chibi mesh: 👁/👄\👁

[@tinynocky]

HAHAHA

[@jaredt1369]

Amazing stuff. I love how in depth you go while still keeping everything accessible for beginners as well! Keep it up, consistency is the key to success on KZbin and I’m sure your channel will blow up in popularity soon!

[@Axooll16]

I very recently started using blender and am still an absolute beginner, and oh boy, the part where you set up the texture of the fabrics just blew my mind lol she looks adorable and i loved to watch the character concept creation, it made me inspired to create some new things, thanks for the video!

[@vuankhanhbeo]

Yes! Finally! A video! Focus about "How to make a cute 3d character!!" And yes, it would be awesome if you could share your timelapse. I really want to make one like this, but there are a lot of things I don't know so it's scary to even start. Wait, you already shared it. Thanks alot!

[@tinynocky]

No problem! :)

[@sumandatta1]

The fabric texturing part is the best! Thanks!

[@glenncogan8109]

wow! your videos are so entertaining and so well explained. i am in awe. im so unbelievably happy i made the switch from cinem4d, the blender community is just incredible and with talented individuals like you tinynocky ill never look back. cant wait to see more of your content

[@bahtiyarozdere9303]

That practical fabric texture is perfect. Thank you!

[@viczvapo]

I was not expecting to (re)learn a lot of the stuff from my photography background. I’m diving into this animation venture and I’m glad you put it all into perspective of the things that i have done. Makes it feel full circle, rather than something new. This is awesome content. Gracias.

[@joyjitterz3187]

I want to take a moment to appreciate the only detailed sculpt you did of the arm, head, and hands just to round it out for a few second example. The example worked.

[@tinynocky]

I appreciate you pointing that out :)

[@chumpster69]

Wow... This is absolutely jam-packed with information. I appreciate how long it must've taken you to write and edit. It's all so beautifully put together! Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!

[@boato]

Thank you for this amazing breakdown of the process!

[@apatsa_basiteni]

Wow, this is amazing! I love how you explained your thought process and showed us the steps you took to create this character. You are very talented and creative. Thank you for sharing this tutorial with us! 😍

[@JoySenseKO]

Thank you so much for the intro before modelling process! Such important and useful information :) Your works are amazing and thank you again for sharing ❤️

[@HollandsPrint]

the adding fur to the fabric, blew our minds! + 1000% of everything else you did!

[@TTBuilds]

I had your Tiny-eye as an asset before I discovered your channel, just watched the animation in 18 days, as i'm attempting to animate something and now I am here, good quality content, from myself and probably many others. Thankyou

[@MichaelHickman3D]

This is next level!!!! I love the look of it!!!

[@adrianghandtchi1562]

I do not own blender but it is on my wish list, and I’ve just been looking at some random tutorials when yours came up. I normally work out of Procreate for 2d art but these suggestions have been astoundingly helpful in my art game and I just want to say thank you for that.

[@mostlyokay]

You do know Blender is free, yeah?

[@worldbeats8039]

You are so professional 💪❤️❤️, love your works

So many quality creators damn!!!!
