Description
I feel as though my watchers should be in the loop as to what I am currently doing with my Road Rovers inspired project.

Before anyone asks, yes, I want to see my characters and story to fruition, and no, I'm not giving up; quite the contrary. The direction I want to take is up for debate, however. I have to admit that I may have rushed into it a little and want to take a couple steps back and figure out what exactly I want to do. I am seriously debating on whether or not I should just write the whole story/lore before continuing with the first story/chapter, making sure to really write and flesh out my characters and their surroundings.

Since I could remember, I always wanted to make a video game, and while I have embarked on quite a few projects in the past, some complete while others not so much, I wouldn't call them commercial quality, though playable.

So, while I was debating these issues, I decided to take up 3D modeling in Blender and create my characters and their texture maps using GIMP.

Having never modeled a human, let alone an anthro character before, I decided to look up tutorials and came across this.

Having the confidence after following the tutorial once, I decided to model the Digidogs using the tutorial as a guide, making sure to put in the important features, such as a tail, fingers, canid ears, etc.

Originally, I wanted to write a comic series that could be adapted into an animated series or even video game, but given the above issues, as well as the potential for burnout from also working full-time, I had to take a step back and really think things through. Modeling my characters in Blender afforded me the break I really needed while still working on the lore and keeping things fresh.

Now, I am seriously considering making this into a video game instead using Unity or a similar engine. I believe I have the capacity to learn the skills necessary to create a quality product, as well as knowing those who do as well, in the event I need to form a small team.
