Happy Valentines! but I don't give chocolates sorry. I can give some weekly animations though. they are not great, but I hope some will still like it.
(The render is vertical, but you can rotate it with your image viewer easy if you want to make them into a desktop wallpaper)
Initially, I was going to make them wear the new sweater trend not the virgin killer one (the one with straps between top and panties). but this is all I could find.
I also learned that EEVEE can't use displacement map yet. I heard it's only going to be able to do that in "EEVEE NEXT". Depending on the lighting, the sweater can still look flat. seems like I still have a long way to go in terms of shading.

Zero from Endwalker is the lady of this week.
Not gonna lie, I totally forgot about her until someone mentioned her. Initially, I wanted to rig her after Raya O Senna. ...that's quite some time ago.
I was actually surprised that they use Hyur body instead of Elezen for her. I was assuming she'll get the same treatment as the Ancients. I was wrong.
I need to research about her more. All I know is, she works like a mercenary and love spicy foods. She looks super cool, and recently I saw her wearing paladin armors in a cutscene.I love armored girls. Idk if I would animate her wearing armor though.
Also speaking about armored girls, some mentioned a recent anime styled game released recently that has a lot of them. However, I'm not an expert at rigging custom anime characters. I did animate I-No from Guilty Gear for experiment back then, but that was not my rig. I'm not closing the possibility of animating cell shaded characters, but FF have lot of characters I have yet to touch.
I also animated simple Persona 4 Naoto animation just to experiment with Persona 5 shader in blender last year (scrapped / unreleased) :
.....so yeah it's bad. I gotta learn more about how to do anime characters. we'll see.... not promising anything though. because I remember I wanted to animate Aurelia le Guin and Arianrhod from Eiyuu Densetsu (my type of woman lol), but I lost motivation immediately after I saw their model in blender. I have not regained the motivation back for them to this day. And there is also FF7 Rebirth coming up. I wonder if they have Lucrecia in the files.

Well, about time we get compensation for all those trips to the Waking Sands. you always need to either walk, or pay 80 gold ferry just to get there.
after her, I need my Aranea pills, then Saryu after (next month).
...Anyway, that's it.
as always, take care and thank you for your support and donations. m(_ _)m
See you next week!
