Artemis DevLog CH6

Happy New Week!

Last week flew by pretty quickly. Aside from more posing and rendering, it was also a technical week. Which means more learning and skill building. There's a scene set in this chapter, and I wanted a particular dress for it, but nothing caught my eye in the Daz store, so I had to outsource it and found one that I liked

The issue with this dress was that the model was tall. Kindra is a runt. This model has a smaller bust. Kindra is well-endowed. So, it needed some adjustment. And the first few attempts weren't great...

First, trying to conform to the dress was hard. Kindra was not having it and burst out of it. Then, some seams ripped, so I had to stitch them back. But after lots of trial and error, I finally got it going. Then, the next hard part was rigging the dress so it followed whatever pose I put Kindra in.

Again, a lot of trial and error. But in the end, I got the dress I wanted and most importantly, learned a valuable new skill.

For those who know DAZ, know you're often limited to what's available either by the official store or by someone who either ported or created something. But you're still limited to what's available. Learning this skill allows me to expand on the wardrobe when something calls for it. Touching on the MC's past was something I wanted to do for a long time, but the lack of Marine dress blues (for Ava) gave me pause. After this training exercise with this dress, doing it myself makes it possible now.

That wraps it up for last week.

Now for the shirts. Again, I apologize it took so long for this one to be finally done. I think it was two years ago that a fan suggested it, and many of you encouraged it.

The shirt features DJ Kink and her World Tour, AKA her farewell tour. The cities featured on the back are the cities you guys suggested. Whether they're your actual city or a place dear to you. It's as if she toured your area. If all goes well, and by that I mean the vendor handles everything without my involvement. I plan to do one of DJ Kink's other shirt that was featured in CH2. And of course a very limited edition of the shirt Artemis wears throughout Book One. Mainly because it will be a gold foil shirt, and I'm sure that will require a minimum order to put in.

Anyway, here it is!

For 25% off the shirt, the coupon code is "nobadwords" without quotation marks.
