Mid-week updates: Commissioned models (Elf Hime Nina and Lum's 2022 design), updates to models, plus updates on commissioned models
Added 2024-12-19 23:16:02 +0000 UTCI had to double-check that it was only yesterday that I last posted; it feels like it's been 3 or 4 days or so! Anyway, that'll be a pretty beefy post for such a short period of time.
Firstly, I've created a 4-in-1 character model for a Patreon member's commission. Elf Hime Nina is a slightly older 3 episode of hentai OVA from 2010 that I hadn't heard of before the commission. After watching it, I can safely say that not only does it hold up, but is better animated than at least 90% of hentai OVAs that come out nowadays. There are two primary girls (spoilers for an almost 15-year-old hentai Nina also has a dark elf form) and a primary male antagonist; as mentioned, the model can do all three. Despite some technical limitations (the two dark elves's outfits have limited screentime and struggle with 1:1 accuracy), I feel the model came out quite nicely and the Patreon member indicated they were satisfied!
Next, while I had already created a character model of Lum's original appearance, I had not done her recent 2022 remake design. This model was somewhat of a commission, but more of an IOU. Someone on CivitAI (where I publically host most of my models) reached out and asked if they could commission me to do an Illustrious version of Lum's 2022 design. Since, naturally, I am borderline obsessed with Lum anyway, I jumped on the request.
Moving on, I've made Illustrious XL updates to a few other models. Some of these, like Miaka Yuuki and Kaede Azusagawa, will be used for Patreon member image set commissions. I've gotten some feedback for these two characters, so I will plan to expand out their image set this weekend. Here is a listing of all the models I made updates to:
Kaede Azusagawa (Rascal Does Not Dream series) - requested
Miaka Yuuki (Fushigi Yuugi) - requested
La Folia Rihavein (Strike the Blood) - requested
Mimosa Vermillion (Black Clover)
Asuka Tanaka (Sound! Euphonium)
Tohru Honda (Fruits Basket)
Kuroyukihime and Chiyuri Kurashima (Accel World) - Kuroyukihime was originally a Patreon member commission.
Additionally, just for fun, I did some random group images of Anna Yamada and a few topless pictures of Nozomi at the beach.
Finally, I've gotten some additional character model requests recently that I don't think I've mentioned. Some of these include
Philuffy Aingram from Undefeated Bahamut Chronicle (this is next in the rotation queue)
Amaru (Naruto ShippΕ«den the Movie: Bonds),
Shera L. Greenwood (How Not to Summon a Demon Lord)
Lo Po Bia Zahard (Tower Of God, the manwha design...this may be tricky, but I think I will be able to pull it off),
Angelise Ikaruga Misurugi (Cross Ange).
I'd also like to do Akari Watanabe and Belldandy soon; I actually have a dataset for Akari that just needs to be cleaned up and organized, so I may be able to get this done soonish. I spoke with our resident Oh My Goddess! fan who advised that the 2005 TV series will probably be the best version to adapt due to the best overall art style (as someone who has only read the manga, I agree based on the first couple episodes).
