Created another facial expression to go with the alternative costume, might need a couple more adjustments. Further developed the pose with the actual body. Pose A was my original choice, but I thought I'd try B. Which one is better?

I found a much better way to conceptualize the poses with the Zbrush Mannequins. Pose conception was always the most grueling part of the project, and this tool has probably speed up my process 10x and allowed me to play with many more options. This makes me a little happy :) I had the manga images as reference to my side as I built the poses and this is a third of the total poses that I liked the most. I'm already 75% decided on the pose and also have the alternative costume to go with it. Y...

General proportions are getting close to where I want it, but I will continue tweaking her thickness. I abandoned the base mesh that's been used for the past 3+ projects and decided to use the default male body in the Zbrush tools to test myself. The more prominent musculature of the male base mesh was actually more helpful than I thought considering that Mirko is a very fit character. Mirko's costume isn't complex so emphasis of proper musculature will be one of the goals of this project ove...

Here's what to expect in the Zelda package. We still have a couple of prints running and if the results are good then and I'll upload the files soon after.
Tier 1 version is a bit different and more in line with what you see in miniatures and will be modified to print as a single, sometimes two part print. Tier 2 and 3 will be as you see in this image.
Renders coming next, and congrats to all the Mirko fans out there. Thanks everyone!

I've finally gotten around to adjusting the tax settings by adjusting the benefits and the percentage distribution to specific benefits and hopefully it's good to go and wont intrude too much. Example Tax breakdown for Tier 3: General Support(40%) Private Community(15%) Exclusive Voting Power(15%) Digital Download(20%) Discount Code(10%) I am going by the United States tax code since that is where I am from. Here is the page I am referencing from 2020-06-29 21:17:34 +0000 UTC

This post will trigger the payment on July 1st for the current project Zelda. Double check your Patron Tier status to make sure you are receiving the rewards you want.
Work will be continued into next week as I make sure the files are keyed and test printed properly. I am continually trying to perfect the key sizes to accommodate the differing sizes of PLA and resin prints, so this time I am creating more loose fittings. I like not having to use glue to attach the par...

This poll ends in 2 days. All characters that had double digits moved onto round two, just enough for the maximum poll slot of 25. No vote limit per person, but use your votes strategically to choose the final 3 characters.

I'm still tinkering with the base, but here are quick screen shots of the final versions. Main version is the armor/dress and sword, which will be available to Tier 1 Patrons (Limited Version), Tier 2 (Full version) and Tier 3 Patrons(Full Version). All Alternative versions will only be available to Tier 3 Patrons. Next thing to do is key the figures and contact my usual crew to test print, but I may contact some more volunteers from the previous comments. More images to come soon, thanks eve...

I think the voting structure has been working pretty well, but the duration will be reduced this time depending on round, so that I can start on the project earlier. Round One has a lot of characters, so we will set the duration to 3 days with no limit on how many votes per person. Round Two will also have no voting limits with a duration of 2 days. Final Round will be limited to 1 vote per person and the duration will be 2 days as well.

Mostly worked on the shirt this week and boy did that take more time than I thought it would. I kind of wished I did this when I had symmetry available during the T-Pose phase, but then again I still would have to fix a lot of things anyways.
Next on list is to create the hoody, refine the hair and add the decorative designs on the main version dress. The weekend is coming so I'll have more time to crunch and get the design done and move onto the keying. If there's any volunteers to te...

Got the sword and sheath done on the main version. The dress decorative patterns need to be added still, but everything is nearly complete. Spent a lot of time sculpting the rest of the anatomy for the altnernative/nsfw version, but didn't get a chance to finish the shirt, sorry :). I will most likely add a hood too. Both versions vary so much that there may not be interchangeable parts between versions, but I will try to create different heads for both versions. I will try to finish it by th...

More detailing and refining done overall. Might post a couple more images soon, but here's something before the weekend starts. Sword and alternative version will be the next priority.

Finalized poses for both versions. Dynameshed most of her body and also focused on the dress and hair to generate the feeling of motion on the main version. The sword is a placeholder for a rapier that I may get to on the next update. I'm unsure of what to put on her feet yet. I actually kind of like the bare foot look, but I will try adding sandals. The concept for the alternative BotW version isn't fully realized in the image yet. Will try to get that concept out on the next update as well,...

After much tinkering I've finalized the poses for both the main and alternative version. The bow and arrow pose I've decided to save for another character that is more heavily based on that theme. The previous lewd pose A felt really forced so I decided to adjust it and came up with these two poses. These new poses felt more natural as well as having good silhouettes in many angles and is not too different from each other. I may borrow some inspiration from game of thrones for the main versio...

Here are a couple of rough concepts of a bunch of different ideas including the lewd pose. I changed my posing work flow a bit by trying out the Zsphere and rigging feature in ZBrush and it turned out really dirty in terms of topology. However the poses came out with a lot more gesture than my old method, also it was easier to experiment with more poses. I will definitely see if I can improve this method. I've also done a quick paint over in Photoshop to get my idea out quicker. Pose A is the...

To offset the yucky tax news here's some more progress pics of the armor and dress concept. The armor design will be more ornate in the final so long as the shapes can be read from a fair distance. There might be a bunch of different head combinations for this project varying from hair style to facial expressions, but I do not want to flood the folder with too many parts to worry about printing. The rear "winged" cloth strips might help express movement in the final pose, but if it creates to...

Here are a couple of different versions of Zelda's portrait sculpt. The tiara was pretty fun to work on, I may fiddle around with it futher. I can't decide which versions I like more so I may release all of them instead of picking just one or two. I'll be working on the outfit concept next and then pose mock up the poses that I have in mind.
I've also been recording footage to compile into a Youtube video. I only plan on recording the bust phase, but we I'll see how it goes. The bust ...

Thank you everyone for your input in the polls. It gives me a good understanding of where to lean towards, but as some of you may know I like to slightly divert and make the design different by putting my own spin on it. The concept will be an ongoing process as I add or delete elements to my liking.
I really like Zelda's innocent and soft face from Breath of the Wild, and I also like the adorable attitude from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Here is the image of the initial head sculpt and...

I have an idea of what I want to do, but I'm also curious what the general consensus is. I'm going to throw another poll at you guys for fun and you can also comment on your idea as well. She also has many outfits, but for sure her main version is going to be the breath of the wild leggings version. I've never played the game so I will be doing further research.

Check your messages to find the download links to Samus Aran. Hopefully we didn't miss anything, but if there are any issues then please let me know. Some of the sockets may need to be sanded to fit for resin prints, FDM/PLA prints should fit fine. I would love to see everyone's final paint job so feel free to share in the community section.
Rendered images as mentioned will be posted when done.
