April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.

We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberOh wow, I can’t believe you made this using Blender...How did you less the render time? Did you use cycle engine or eevee? And stupid question, did you model the character by yourself? Using mouse or graphics tablet??

MemberPasting the answer here as well so people here can see it too:
This was done in Cycles. There are a lot of tricks you can do to reduce render time- modelling only the parts of the room that are visible, reducing the number of light bounces, faking certain effects like glass... I could try and go into them all, but you'd be better served by just checking out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gSyEpt4-60
Goes over a lot of what I try to do. That said, fur is slow. Render time on this image was still very long! If you want to get into making models with particle fur, be prepared to exercise your patience.
I did model both characters by myself, yep! They were done entirely in blender, and -almost- entirely using a mouse. I very occasionally pick up a tablet to do some fine detail here and there while sculpting because hey, I have one so why not use it, but you really don't need one to make characters like these. If you get into some really super detailed stuff it might be useful, but for the majority of character making I really think you can do it just fine with a mouse. I use one most of the time anyway.
