Akitsu Maru - Pin-Up Set #1 - 1K
Added 2025-10-16 17:00:00 +0000 UTCWell well, if it wasn't another Kantai Collection launch date, this time we have the impeccable Akitsu Maru. Instead of being based off her official in-game CG, I took more inspiration from yukataro, one of my favorite doujinshi artists who made some fantastic KC doujins back in the day.
There's another shipgirl whose launch date is right after Akitsu Maru's who I wanted to show off, but she's nowhere near completed. Sadly, didn't leave myself any time to focus on modeling in Koikatsu because... this past week I've been taking deep dives into learning Blender more thoroughly! And it's paid off! You may notice Akitsu Maru is looking brand new in the face- I learned how to hand paint textures for my models, edit their mesh with sculpting brushes and other tech I'm hoping I can incorporate to my workflow soon.
All that to say is hopefully my models will look even more unique from here on out, I've been applying this to my next fighting game cards too so I hope to show off all that effort soon enough.
