A little Gale model update.

For some time now, I've been thinking about Gale here, and how he seems to be a fairly popular character and yet rarely seems to make it into the monthly animation suggestions. There could be any manner or reasons for why this is, but I couldn't help but feel like part of it is because his model kinda blew chunks.

It was originally made as a tweaked recolour of one of the bondagefoxes, even though their anatomy wasn't really accurate to how Gale should look, because at the time my other existing gale model was even more garbage and I decided that an inaccurate but usable Gale model was better than no Gale model. But I've never really been happy with how he looked there either, so since I have a tiny bit of time at the moment I decided to give him a once-over, see if that can maybe give him a little more appeal. The face got most of the work, and I think that's looking considerably better now, and I also reworked his hands and legs to be a little less toony. I'm sorta 50/50 on the legs, I kinda like the the shorter toonier legs in general, but I think the slightly more human style in the new version might be a better fit for Gale as I picture him. This may be adjusted further in the future though.

I also made many tweaks to the fur, and updated his cage to the newest design with the urethral tube. Shortened his tail a bit as well... I went through a bit of a huge tail phase that I'm finally starting to recover from I think, hah.

Also did a metric fuckton of rigging changes to make him easier to animate with, but those aren't visible and as a result are far less interesting. :P

Anyway, we'll see if this goes anywhere or if he'll still be relegated to the backburner, but I do feel a little better about the little green fox at least having a half decent model now. Was bugging me.

What do you think of the update? Lemme know! :D

Great work! Looks way more ‘on model’ now I would say, just based on how Gale usually appears in your 2D work ^^

Jo (FuzzyDerg)

Looks great! And along with Drakeler, I'd be more than interested in getting a look at how you go about your rigging, if you'd ever be so inclined to share some of those details!

Stargazer

Looks good, a more fitting package for him I feel~ As a modeler myself I would love to see the rigging honestly x3

Drakeler

All in all, very good. I still live huge tails though, so sad to see it shortened.

Alex McFall

Looks way better in the new version

James

Hah, sorry about that. :P I'm open to ideas, if there's anything specific you wanna see, if it'll be helpful in some fashion!

Ruaidri

Gale would be the subject of a lot of my fetishes x3

I definitely need to vote for Gale more, but there are always so many other suggestions that hit my fetishes harder XD

Eddie SanHusky

I always have a soft spot in my heart for small, green foxes. Look at his little tummy oh I'd just smooch him~

I really like the changes. He looks sleeker and more in need of use... err... protection, that is. ;)

Daddy Bearcat

I agree! Although I think shorter tails are cute for some characters, foxes in my opinion need bigger tails. Of course I don’t think that it has to be as big as the original The whiskers were a phenomenal addition alongside the updates across the board with the size and face, and gives Gale his own unique look, and I think that’s awesome. Such a great character!

Shiloh Fox

Ah, good catch. I made the ears a bit bigger but forgot to puff up the fluff to match. Probably a mix of both would be best, bit more fluff and a bit more pink. I'll try to remember to have that fixed for when we see him next!

Ruaidri

I am Gale's #1 fan and vote for him every time, but man there's are great improvements!! hopefully this does give him a better chance

ray

Gale’s my favorite next to Nid. Hell, he’s the reason I got into chastity stuff. Always a bummer not to see more of him and chastity stuff.

Disappointed Frieza

Ooh, whiskers! Those eyes are way more expressive, the left one looks a little dopey xD I dunno about the black inner ear though. I feel like now that you've made his ears bigger you could also increase the fluff length or density? Or change it to a pink inner? Right now it...kinda reminds me of a sarlacc's maw.

DSG

That was mine lol ill repost it. I wouldnt mind seeing your rigging work actually. These kind of characters has never sat well with me (the cage, femboys, or futas for that matter) but he does look alot better overall though, the legs and tail changes are definitely an improvement. Not knowing how to show off the rig without giving away your models that would make sense (didnt think about that). Thats fine ill just use my imagination lol.

Whoops, accidentally deleted one person's comment. If you happen to see this, sorry! There's no confirmation prompt or anything, just one click and *poof* gone. To answer what I remember seeing of your comment... I'm not sure how I'd really go about showing off the rig... if I take a picture of the whole thing it's such a confusing mess of lines and shapes that it's impossible to make sense of, not really sure how I'd break it down in any kind of useful fashion!

Ruaidri

The changes look great! Except for the shorter tail. Go big or go home :p

Dakgnol

Thanks! I think I've got a little something planned for him, even if he doesn't turn up in a monthly animation for a while I figure we should give him a little test drive. :P

Ruaidri

That's a heck of an update. I agree with the horde in that he looks more twinky or femboy now &lt;3. The slimmer thighs really suit him. Love the face tweaks, the expression and the 4-finger hands. Nice work on the cage too ... it might have been the first thing I noticed... Can't wait to see him in a new animation or render!

philpem

Oooh. I really like the reworking you've done. It has all been said already, so I'll just agree with the others that he looks endlessly more like the smexy femboy fox that 2D Gale is. ❤️

AngelOD

It really does feel more authentic to the original. I definitely agree with how your looking at the legs but either one look nice. The biggest thing was the head to me. It would almost be a cute idea to recreate the comic in way? But for sure can't wait to see him in action

quietcoyote8

Thanks! :3 Yeah, this version is definitely a lot more authentic to his original design now. Feeling pretty good about that. Now we just gotta put him to action sometime!

Ruaidri

Oh my! I wasn't sure about the model before. It just didn't seem like Gale I knew from the comic. Now he really puts off the Gale feeling! Amazing work as always man! Can't wait to see him in an animation with Blue

quietcoyote8

Yup! Maybe not on quite the same level as Adhina for example, but he's definitely more girly than masculine.

Ruaidri

I feel like it's been ages since we've seen the poor boy, maybe now he'll have a better shot. :P

Ruaidri

Oh, so he is a femboy

Luca the Lucario

Haha, perfect! That was the hope! :P

Ruaidri

Indeed, that's what I was aiming for! :3

Ruaidri

I think he looks even cuter now, but I’ve been voting for him every chance I get already ^^

Lukas

I think that's a huge improvement! he looks more like.. well, Gale, now!

Drall (Victor M)

Have more femboy look i think
