Aziya Model Evolution (2019 - 2023)
Added 2024-01-24 19:00:06 +0000 UTCI originally modeled Aziya off of some poorly captured screengrabs of the character Khamira from the Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr trailer which was not a good idea, if I'm being honest. The shapes were all over the place, and since we never got a clear look at her cinematic model (DAMN YOU BLUR STUDIO) I just had to guess with my very limited 3D modeling skills. This original sculpt sat on ice for almost 2 years before I retopologized it and started to add fur.
In July of 2022, I decided to remodel her face. I found some great references from Skyrim and ESO and tweaked things from there. Her face shaped has changed a little since then, namely the eyes, cheeks, and mouth, mostly focusing on giving her more softer shapes as I got more of a sense of her character.
As you can tell, the fur went through many, many changes too, and there's a high chance I'll change it again down the line. I've never been happy with how Blender handles fur, especially when it came to giving her a nice hairstyle - I never got that looking good as you can see from the second image.
Anyways, should I bring that hairstyle back? Or should Aziya stay with the short cut?
