Sword Maiden WIP 006
Added some more detailing and started reworking the hair. Next thing to do will be fixing the headpiece and doing another pass on her face.

I will continue to work on her into next month, thank you for your patience!
Little by little, but we're getting it done.
The overall composition is coming along after much cloth wrangling. The hands, feet are all posed and ready to dynamesh into a solid mesh to finalize the detailing. The sceptor/sword is going to be tricky to deal with the string/chain in printing so I will likely leave some different options open incase anyone wants to use their own strings.
I don't think I will finish this by the end of the month, so I'll continue to work on it into...
Update on those darn draperies. Designing these wrinkles can be pretty mind bending, but here is my progress so far. This character is definitely has the busiest composition so far and getting a comprehensive silhouette will be challenging. Of course I'm up for the challenge :).

Thanks everyone for participating in the previous poll. I did not expect pose E to be chosen at all considering it was a quicker mock up than the other poses. I changed course and here it is so far! Still working out the composition so I will be playing around with the drapery next.

Been working on a side project, but now I am back and started on Sword Maiden. Got her portrait and proportions mostly worked out, but I might need to go bigger if you know what I mean. I might not even design her costume in T-pose and go straight for the pose considering there is a lot of drapery.
P.S. I will be sharing this side project with all long term patrons for free. More details to follow, but you can check her out on discord in the #current-wip channel.
To load the Marmoset viewer file included in the project make sure you download the free software. It's pretty lightweight and you simply double click the files to open.

Hope you all like it! Don't forget to give me a 5 star review ;D.
EDIT: If you have not received your Azula download links then it means you joined in late after the charge post had been created and you have not been charged anything. Send me a private message and I will provide the price adjusted (equivalent to Patreon sub) link to Gumroad.
All rendered images and videos are pretty much done!
I did not think I would create so many different extra parts, but hey I don't think there are any complaints here.
A couple of helpers are still running their test prints and I am awaiting on any last minute changes that need to be done. I've went over the files myself and they all seem good to go, but extra set of eyes can help me spot mistakes.
Stay tuned!
Single votes per person this round, and I will not be voting. In the event of a tie after the poll date has ended I will decide on the project. Looking forward to the results!
Side note: After this project I will be changing the nomination rules to favor repeat runner ups. This change will be retroactive.
EDIT: Wrong end date. New poll end date is 02/14/2022
Round two, lets go!
All candidates that had 25 votes or more have moved onto this round. Characters with the highest votes are listed from top to bottom.

This post will initiate the payment for Azula.
I'll continue work through early February with finishing touches and test printing. I need volunteers to help test print as well, let me know in the comments if you are available.
The charge post for Azula will come before the end of this month to trigger the payment on February 1st. Please check your tiers once more to see if you are in the new tiers.
That said, post your next character suggestions in the comment!
Previous finalist will move onto round 2 voting:
2B - Nier Automata
Bowsette - Mario

Alternate outfit reveal! The concept is based on the volleyball episode along with some modifications.
Someone expressed interest on a fully nude version. I tend to not include fully nude versions on my projects because they feel plain and less creative to me. If you guys are interested then I can include a nude version with no key cuts. Just say yes in the comments. More facial expressions on the next update.
There are still about 70 patrons who have not edited t...
Almost done with the main version. Scrapping the ring in the background idea and created some lightning streams.
Also don't forget to edit your tiers to the new ones!
Need to make a censored post for patrons only because of Patreon guidelines.

Fully suited up! Just some more refining overall on this update. Thinking about the beach episode for her alternate outfit, but I don't think this pose really fits. More experimenting to do.

After much pose wrangling I finally figured out something that works for me. The original pose from the dummy figure shown in a previous WIP did not look good once I played the character into that pose. The armor tends to obstruct everything and the whole piece becomes messy. Azula is a badass and I choose that over a sexy pose, but things might change on the alternate version. The ring is a placeholder for lighting or fire, still experimenting.
Edit: Added nude shot. Gave her ...
Body proportions and main costume block out so far. I added some new elements such as the forearm wraps that extend to her elbow to give her some more details. I've also gave the shoulders a bit more curvature to make the silhouette a bit more interesting.

Portrait and pose progress so far!
Attempting to make Azula the angriest looking character I've done yet, going to see how far I can push the expression. Main outfit design will likely follow her standard armored suit. I'm still thinking about the alternate outfit, but I want to have her hair long and untied on this one.

Hey everyone, big changes! Please rejoin to the newly created tiers as shown in the images! :D
As previously mentioned I have created new tiers and cut the prices down. I will be deleting the old tiers once everyone has moved over to the new tiers. The tier number naming convention has shifted down because I eliminated one of them. The rewards are all the same minus the 5% reduction in the discount code on "Tier Two."
All store products will have a price reducti...

This time around I provided Gumroad links to Tier 3 patrons to help them keep an online library of all the projects from now on. I was going to enable this for all tiers, but Gumroad has some limitations.
If you have not received a private message with reward links then you have probably joined after the date I created the charge post that triggers the payment. Patrons who have joined after that date are currently signed up for ...
Sorry for the delays I am much busier on holiday hours and have less time, but the final composition finally done! Initially I wanted to have her dash horizontally, but that orientation kind of hid away the important features. I tilted her up and adjusted her hair and of course came up with this. One last thing I want to experiment with are the glowy magic auras for her hands then I'll move onto keying and test printing finally.
Looking for test printers! I'll be asking the regulars, b...
This will be the Charge Post for the Starfire project. The payment will process on Dec 1st.
Here's the concept of the alternate costume so far. It's kind of getting there, but if you have any ideas feel free to throw them out. Someone suggested ripped clothing, but I feel like it doesn't match Starfire as much as it did with Raven.
I'll be working on this into December to fine tune it.
Another day another update and were getting close to the finish line! The charge post will be coming before the end of this month, so double check your patron tier for the respective rewards.
Her outfit is coming together, but still need some more adjustments in the boots and gauntlets. I'm also starting to experiment with the alt costume and will likely be based off the Teen Titan outfit. Raven has some material definition on her outfit, so I'll be trying to match tha...
