ControlMole

early colour test, chestnut or sandy? chestnut won but i still think about sandy sometimes. which would you have picked

joining in on things that got better in our lifetime. maps, cameras and handhelds with two screens all made his list, but he had one more to add that went the other way

progress on the mole dex

spent a while getting the duvet to wobble right before he pops out of it. he is very cross about my free hour #b3d #lowpoly

#screenshotsaturday making of mole 🛠️ #b3d #lowpoly

#screenshotsaturday spin the mole. modelled in blender, flat coloured, rendered tiny and scaled up with no smoothing so every pixel stays crisp #b3d #pixelart

made a little bedroom set for him to pop out of at 2am #b3d #lowpoly

made a little video about missing mr resetti. new horizons gave him autosave and a café stool, so the mole in my screen time app has taken over the yelling #animalcrossing

his shiny has a blue headband

early versions of the little guy. the one without the headband looked like he'd lost his job

built him a burrow: watch room, kitchen, bedroom and a trophy room, all low poly #b3d #lowpoly

the mole in my screen time app finally got to yell at someone. 74 minutes of tiktok and he's furious

the mole is finally out on android. asking him for five more minutes looks like this. iphone is next https://controlmole.app/?s=bluesky

a wild doomphone appeared

spent the week on the icons for my app. each one is a little blender scene rendered at 32x32, then i go over it by hand, redrawing the eyes and colouring the outline like the old DS menu icons #pixelart #b3d

every face he can make lives on this one tiny texture. painted each one by hand pixel by pixel #pixelart #b3d

#screenshotsaturday the four steps every frame of mole goes through, from a render the size of a stamp to the finished pixels with a 1px outline #b3d #pixelart

mole & the gang 🍎🕯️

finally happy with how the little guy reads from every side. modelled him in blender, kept him really low poly and rendered him tiny so he scales up into crisp pixels #b3d #lowpoly
