March is always one of the hardest months for me. My tops is November, as I’m trying to get presents for family. This month, it’s strictly for me. Every single 3d vendor on the planet puts on sales this month. STEEP sales. Daz is doing theirs. Get this: They throw up 1 to 3 products for 65 to 80% off. For each of those products you buy, you get a $1 voucher credited back to your account AND a 50% off coupon for the sale category of the day. Sometimes, you spend $1.80 on something, and since you get $1 back, it’s like buying it for $0.80. Nifty.
Not so much for those of us who are struggling – and I’m perpetually struggling. A lot of people think it’s glamorous that I’m “doing what I want to do”, and that I’m trying to make a game, be an artist, and that I get to work in a field I love. It’s great. Except the times when I can’t buy anything because I have no money. Most people do this “on a shoestring”, which means that they work a full-time, day job, and do this sort of thing at night till they get off the ground. Well… take away the day job, and you get the picture. (Have I mentioned I take donations via PayPal? lol)
Still, I’ve managed to scrape together a few things, and one of them, is this lovely character. I need to find a hairstyle that fits with the historical theme of the game, but other than that, I really love her. Her name is Madelaine Hargrove, and she’s Dr. Whittaker’s secretary. I may age her a bit, I’m not sure yet, but I just loved the old-fashioned style of this character. Here’s a render with the unaltered character, wearing some 20s garb.
