Ciri project update!

Hello my Sweethearts!
Dzikan is back with updates and thanks.
First of all, I want to thank all my Friends, who found time and gave me needed strength, while I was going thru unexpected tough time. I can't afford sitting around. Best medicine is to grab yourself and put in environment, where I won't have time to think about sad things.
Tao recently brought me nintendo's fitness ring fit: "Here, don't sit around, forge your body, while playing. I read comments and messages from our Friends on Patreon, and came up with this. They are waiting, so this is first step. And I don't want to do all work by myself!"
Some people say, games are bad for your body, go for a walk or something. Where will they be, if game will help me to be fit? ) Actually, fitness routine merged with game is really great and entertaining idea. If you like me, who gets easily bored with workout excercises, I recommend to get it and try, if you have switch.

Let's talk about main theme of this post. Our Ciri is becoming more beautiful and finished each day. Closer we to the end of the month, better images are coming out from my tablet pen. )
Not all images from set are shot excactly using same light pattern. Which means we need to adjust every chosen image to one look. It is not news for my Friends, who work in video production, where camera footages can differentiate drastically. So, at some point, I see each of our projects like short films.
If you were attentive, you might notice, that sometimes final looks presented at the beginning of the month, can look a bit different from Reward's version. Slightly, but all that was made in order to make adjustment process more easier and balanced. For example, small change in saturation by few digits.

Let's talk about Ciri's scar.
We really wanted to have real looking scar on model's face, close to how it was desribed in books. Ugly and scary. I remember, how some of my Friends here, were looking forward especially at this part of the character. I have the feeling I put them down with this. As creator I make all final decisions in case of my projects, but not taking in consideration opinion of my Friends her will be crime. Because my projects are what they are, because of crituque I get from you.
Reason is simple, we didn't have enough funds. We just hit reality wall. Makeup expendable materials (not sure I translated it right) cost a lot, and I don't talk about work cost of the hired professional for the job.
I practiced on Tao many times with what materials we managed to get. From my perspective it looks like scar made very recently, about two weeks ago, not deep enough and that's why not scary as it should be.
I'm glad, If it looked real for you.
I believe, if every part of the image enhance and compliment each other, it'll bring balance and harmony to the final look.

Fun fact: Did you know, that some people think Dzikan is man? ) I guess, my artistic name just sounds rough and manly, hahaha )

Have a great day! I hope, you are safe and enjoying every minute of your life. Hard times don't last long, if we will not focus on them that way. Positive mind can do the impossible! )
