Alexa Bliss: Hit the Showers

I'm not sure how many patreon commissions I've done so far but I've been fortunate in that they've all been really fun to work on. This one was no different. I even got to play around a bit with cloth physics!

Sasha and Charlotte: "HLA"

I did this one towards the end of the 2K20 era and just never finished/fixed it. I'd sort of just learned about shape keys and was getting more confident in my sculpting but somehow I managed to completely mess up Sasha's face. I'd meant to start of from scratch on this but then 2K22 ripping became possible and it's been a whirlwind ever since.

Hopefully, one of these days I'll be find the time to re-do this set or do something else like it. 

Drew McIntyre WWE 2K22 (rigged)

Here's Drew from WWE 2K22 as requested. I forgot all about Angela (his sword) until the last minute so she's not pictured in the promo/preview image but she is included in the files.

Alexa Bliss: July 4th 2022

I had something completely different planned for the 4th but, for whatever reason, I really like the sight of women wearing nothing but Championship Belts. Once this idea popped into my head there was no turning back.

Alexa Bliss: Miss Money in the Bank

Woke up with this idea in my head and had just planned on doing an image or two to cash in on the Money in the Bank hashtag during the PPV. Ended up with a full set so figured I'd post it.

The 2022 women's Money in the Bank is just starting as I write this. The set isn't meant to be a prediction or anything. I'll possibly put together another set featuring the actual winner. We'll see.

Bayley: Soccer Chick

I almost scrapped this set completely. I was about six or seven images in when I realized that the the goal (specifically the net) look pretty terrible. In the end, I like everything else about it so... here it is.

Early Access: United States Titles

Here's a collection of United States titles from WWE 2K22. I feel like there should be more than this in the game. I remember there being a WCW US title in 2K20 but couldn't find it in 22. 

Premium Preview: July 2022

It's not often I have enough future content done, or even started, to do previews like this but I've been pretty productive of late and I've finally reached a point where I'm not scrambling quite as much to get content done in time. As a result, here's a little sneak peak at what I've been cooking up.

First up, I've got a little mini-set of Alexa Bliss wearing nothing but a pair of United States Title Belts. Right now it's only six shots but I may go back in and get a few more angles be...

Peyton Royce: Alexa's Revenge

As you may recall, last month Peyton Royce pulled Alexa's tights down in front of the remote audience in the Thunderdome. Well, now Alexa's finally getting her revenge in front of a live audience!

This was another commission set that I had a lot of fun making. 

Sasha Banks: Bunk Bed Boss

Yeah, not my best title for a set. Not my worst  either, though.

This whole set was kind of spontaneous. I saw the outfit and immediately thought of Sasha but had no idea what to else to do. When I saw the bed on sketchfab it just felt right and I went with it.

I really liked the simplicity of this set. Might have to do a sequel someday.

Charlotte Flair vs Lana: Pose Test

Here's another forgotten set of 2K20 model images.

This started as me sort of just practicing my posing  working on my posing in Blender and the Boston Crab seemed like a simple enough submission hold to practice on. 

Not sure how I managed to get 11 different shots out of one post but here ya go. Moving forward I think I want to try doing some scissor holds.

Eddie Guerrero 2K22 (rigged)

Another patreon request. 

The legends have been a bit disappointing so far, in my opinion. The  character models are a big improvement for some but Visual Concepts put almost zero effort into the ring gear. It's just the exact same as it was in 2K20.

Women's Title Belts

Here's a collection of Women's Titles from WWE 2K22. Not sure if I got all of them or if there will be more. They're all in one .blend file but they're each in their own collection which should make them easy enough to append into another file or export into another file type.

I've found that some of these look better than others. I think a lot of that is going to depend on the lighting of the scene.

I think moving forward, though, I'll likely just end up ripping and uploading bel...

Sasha Banks: Desert Rose 2

When 2K22 models became a possibility I sort of forgot about all of the 2K20 stuff I had partly done. I also forgot about a few sets I had completely done. This is one of them.

The whole set was me sort of just experimenting with a few different things. Mainly I was trying to go for a sweaty look to her skin but ended up with more of a baby oil look that I liked better. I also played around with masking a bit and I think this was my first time putting different hair on her.

Mostly...

Edge WWE 2K22

Here's another patreon request and it was quite the adventure! First, I scoured the files for him but all I could find was an Edge labeled as 2006. Eventually I realized that the 2006 version is what I was looking for and they just never bothered to rename his folder from 2k20. After that I quickly realized that his hair was going to be harder than I thought.

Since 2K22 doesn't use color maps for the hair it means anyone with multicolor hair is pretty tough to do right. Things like maki...

Alexa Bliss: Raw Champ

I've been ripping various women's belts from 2K22 (pack coming soon...ish) and thought I'd put this set together. 

Bliss wearing almost nothing but a championship belt is something I've wanted to do for a while now but I didn't really care for the belts in 2K20 and so never did. They look a bit better now, plus I've got the blender script to import their bones so that made everything considerably easier.

Anyway, here's the finishes result. It's pretty simple but affective, I ...

Austin Theory 2K22 (rigged)

I've always found Theory to be a little generic and bland but I don't remember him ever being quite this boring looking. Maybe it's just another case of 2K picking the absolute worst gear they could have?

Sonya Deville: In Your House

I actually did this one a while back and almost forgot about it.  I had another outfit in mind for Sonya but when I saw that her pants and bodysuit were two separate pieces I decided to use that. 

Sonya Deville 2K22

Used this for an upcoming set and I like to share so, here ya go. 

Not sure how I feel about this one. Looks a bit off to me. Maybe that's just because of how dated it is, though.

Rhea Ripley: Back Alley

I've never really been all that into tattoos but I was annoyed that Rhea's 2K20 model didn't have any. When I saw that the 2K22 version had her full leg tattoos I knew I'd be doing something with her. I still have no idea why they bothered to scan her full legs even though she wears full pants in the game. Glad they did, though.

Lacey Evans: Kitchen Quickie

Going through my 2K20 folder I realized I have a bunch of sets I started and just sort of quit working on for one reason or another. I figured that since I promised Premium Patrons "behind the scenes content", and I've really been slacking on that, I'd start posting some of these unfinished works.

Sometimes that might be little sets like this, sometimes it might mean multiple random images, but hopefully it will always be interesting.

First up is this Lacey Evans set I got started...

Rhea Ripley 2K22 (rigged)

I'm still trying to wrap my brain around how differently these models react to just about everything I try to do. Although they look way better than 2K22 models they're actually pretty similar. They're the same scale and have almost the same topology as past models, yet they just don't really seem to like being rigged.

The main problem I'm bumping into is the weight mapping. Certain body parts just don't bend right by default and take a bit of extra tweaking to get working. Even then, t...

Liv Morgan: Caged

When I saw that Liv Morgan was wearing this gear I couldn't help but wonder what it'd look like with a tiny G-string instead of those shorts. I planned to find out with this set but removing the shorts proved to be pretty tedious and, by the time I was done, I'd gotten pretty burned out on the whole project.

So, I got lazy, skipped the G-string, and just left her mostly exposed. I think it worked out pretty well in the end and forced me to get creative with the camera and light placemen...

Alexa Bliss 2K22 (rigged)

Here's the first of hopefully many WWE 2K22 character rips. Felt right to start things off with Alexa Bliss as she tends to be the character I use the most. There's another version of her in the game (the one I used for the pantsing set) that I'll try to get uploaded here soon.

Banks vs Flair Pole Match Finale

Charlotte wins!

WWE 2K22 NXT In Your House (.obj + .blend)

I made my own version of this entrance for Poser years ago. This is obviously better. This comes with a .blend version with all the materials applied and some simple lighting but there's also a .obj if you want to use it in other programs.

Alexa Bliss vs Peyton Royce

This was a fun set I got commissioned to do. Usually I only do five or so images for commission sets but I was really enjoying this one and got a little carried away.

2K22 Preview

So... I've finally gotten early access to the modding tools that allow me to rip WWE 2K22 models! I'm still sort of figuring things out so I'm not quite ready to start uploading models just yet but it's coming soon! I'll likely get the NXT In Your House entrance out this weekend as a sort of trial run.

The process is fairly similar to what was done with 2K20 but 22 handles textures in a significantly different way. Things that took just a few seconds in 2K20 can take nearly two hours wi...

Banks vs Flair Pole Match Part 3

Looks like Sasha's even more vulnerable than ever. What might Charlotte do if she's able to grab that toy?

Charlotte Flair: Memorial Day 2022

Just a quick Memorial Day set. Mostly just 'cause I can't resist a woman in a sexy American flag outfit.
