are you changing the eyelid colour in "colour info" on the left?

I thought I'd done that but maybe I forgot to save or undid it somehow. Thanks for the reminder to double-check!

Oooo I love the sea monster baby a lot, but I think the frog has to be my favourite just because of how WEIRD it looks. It's so well-shaped, especially the eyes and mouth. I am also staring at those GRABBY LIL HANDS with deep affection.

Thank you so much! I wasn't sure if the frog was properly shaped so it's good to know it seems like it. I can't wait to finish it so I can prettify it (and make different frog species for people, if they want)

I've been doing more hexing of other stuff (toyz, playscenes) but I've made two possible versions of the frog baby:

One is more realistic but I think the other looks cuter and might pick that as the main option

Next up, I want to work on the nostrils/nose and then the fun of decorating can (finally) begin!

I've been working on a baby inspired by Shep from Animal Crossing!

The colours are slightly different, I'm not sure if I want to replicate the original ones.

Some steps in the process:

I'd already omitted most nose addballz, but that random one showed up in the middle of the fringe. Turns out that's ball 7 (bridge) and omitting it fixed it.

I also wanted to add a line going from the nose to the upper lip. I did that by experimenting with different outline types for the mouth top ballz (thanks ℓacey ☀️ for reminding me what they are! And Amanda in the DG Discord haha). I ended up settling on 0 for just one of them as that looked neatest, though sometimes it gets hidden.

You can see the outline result above! Then I added some freckles.

This is what he looks like atm! I made his toes/feet kind of mottled instead of a single uniform colour because I thought it would be cute but I'm not really sure.

I'm not super happy with the fringe so I'll probably keep tweaking it! Otherwise, I'm surprised it wasn't a complete disaster.

I have no idea which one you mean but thank you! He does look super cute to me so I'm really excited haha. He is supposed to look like a sheep dog so that's a good sign

[lobb]

I honestly really like my dog kid!

My most recent experiment did NOT go well:

A couple of people on the Discord suggested I try making Bunnie from AC and it just went very wrong. Some things do NOT translate well to Babyz, at all. (The orange-red-y .bmp is from Angelica's site.)

At least I got some rounded cartoonish bunny ears, I might tweak them and use them for something else in the future!

Oh my god these are so good
I actually LOVE the Bunnie!!! It definitely looks unsettling in a sort of uncanny masked way but I really dig that about it ;;
