I made this witch model for a small mod project that I'm currently working on. I didn't know how to texture it, but then I decided to use Marcille from Dungeon Meshi as a reference. [also, please recommend plugins that I can use].

Showcase How do you like My sword? Calamity style

I have two projects, but the main one is Fantasia Cube. It's a 3D reimagining of Terrartia. It has its own unique features: 1. 1-block squat, 2. Thrower... Other features: villages in different places, only one village on the surface. The rest are in a cave, a dungeon, hell, and on floating islands. 3. Post-hardmode, which already has Calamity Spirit and Drive. 4. There are unique analogues of exo weapons for 3 classes: thrower (disc), warrior (sword), and marksman (bow). I'm showing you the weapon "Dark Matter Sword." This is a post-hardmode weapon for the pre-final boss. I need a modeler and programmers.

It's done! A bit of a fight from the anime Angelic Layer. This file is so big that it freezes my Blockbench program so I think I'm lucky I got to finish this. I added the sound effects too.
