Context! I used to make really tacky, big sets that had cute little borders. My favorite was a Jane set from Banana Chacha (I was a big fan of Momoland)
It was for a Pokemon non-event on OH.
So, to the absolute abyss that is H+ studio, I shall muse about the process.
So, yesterday. Jiwoong posted a [
Since seeing the clips of him dropping everything on the table, I knew I would be picking the cream licking frames. The next question was the frame!
So I had a few thoughts but settled on the frosting around a circular frame. I remember practicing piping a few years ago and we did straight lines. Back during Valentine's I made a cake for the letters but felt like the assets could be improved upon so I made fresh cream and fruits in Blender.
So, the strawberry was harder than I thought? Not the shape as much as the pinches for the seeds. In the first version I filled the fruit with seeds but decided suggestion was more than enough. I still didn't get the texture of the strawberry just right, but I think I got a nice sheen on it. It just seems a bit too... velvety? I have an idea on how I could fix it, but this was for fun, so I am not too picky about it.
The cherry was easier, but I kind of sent myself in a circle with the stem, since I was set on making it green but realized a red stem made more sense.
The last was watermelon! Apparently it is Jiwoong's favorite. I could not get it at all. I just couldn't get the sheen to matte balance right.
It looks like meat or papaya to me? The more red I made it, the more it looked like meat. The more pink I made it, the more it looked like papaya. I did a few seeds but it just didn't look good enough to me. It came out matte enough at the top angle, though. I guess I was fine with it because I thought it was papaya when he was putting the watermelon on the cake, anyway. Maybe I should have gone more pink?
So, next step was to output the frames:
So you might notice that the square frame is a bit darker than the circle frames. It is because the light I had illuminating the creams was round, so it didn't touch all of the edges of the square frame. I actually think it looks nicer with the dark corners.
I think took the clips I liked, masked them into the right shape and gave them some coloring. I wanted to go for an old tumblr color leveling. I wanted to bring out the red, but the background might have pushed too much forward.
In the end I combined it all and exported!
How do you like it?
i wanna eat jiwoong cake
seeing some of your process and thoughts on it was cool too, thank you for sharing
