Some things never change
Added 2019-02-11 19:44:48 +0000 UTCBut Jinjing-Yu just did! Only visually, she's still the same old crestie that everyone™ loves. <3
I've already made a post about this, but just to recap, here's a more or less full list of changes:
- improved (or more like added, amirite?) the general anatomy to look much more natural and defined
- focused on bringing out her various features and characteristics
- added so much life to the face that it became a separate lifeform and started a civilization of its own
- scaled down the ridiculously large pupils
- removed the hand pads, which were a really stupid idea (but not the finger pads)
- balanced the textures and shaders
- ADDED WHISKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (as voted upon)
- redid the hair pretty much from scratch, improved the styling, and made it much more streamlined on the technical side; less headaches, and more working speed, while looking better ;3;
- considerably improved most other technical aspects; she is now much more pleasant to work with, and takes about 40% less space in scene files
There are still a few kinks to iron out, but I'll be fixing those as I learn of them by making art with her lol
And I'm posting this in the ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE full size for everyone ever, because it's technically an intro piece. And also I'm just so proud of what an accomplishment this is. ;3;
Enjoy! :D
Next in line for an upgrade: Adreea!

Oh man that looks so old now ahaha! I'm... actually really pleased with that fact. Around the time I made that pic I felt like I wasn't improving anymore, and now here we are. Stuff has changed so much. And yes, I'm very excited about Adreea's upgrade. She has some really nice features which I didn't know how to do properly back when I made her; I think her upgrade will be even nicer than Jinjing-Yu's. ;3; Also lmao 2x4 doggo. 11/10 👌👌👌👌👌 Thank you!

2019-02-16 14:24:02 +0000 UTCI will still be working on the hair, because I'm not fully satisfied with it, but because that is not a simple hair style, it requires a lot fo enegry (which I don't have) to work on. Will be getting back to it occasionally! Regardless, thank you!

2019-02-16 14:20:20 +0000 UTCI searched my archive of similar poses and found one image that I think works well with displaying the differences, still with her old hair. <a href="https://www.deviantart.com/tchaikovsky2/art/patreon-commission-Among-ducks-and-decay-560307088" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Among ducks and decay</a>. It is good to see how much Jinjing-Yu's body has been revamped. Comparatively, I feel like you gave her an Adreea body. I always felt like Adreea, for the longest time, had a body that looked different. She had detail and maturity that Jinjing-Yu and Uzuri lacked. I have always been drawn to her more, and detail wise, Adreea seemed like a trophy character. Knowing that you created her for your brother I think you put a special piece of attention into creating her. Now that its your time to do updates Jinjing-Yu has gone to this same level and has been given HIPS :D LUL she's no longer a 2x4. Also thankfully she's not a smooth skin. She now has pores and discrepancies. More noticeable (I mean). I can't wait to see what you're gonna do for Adreea.

2019-02-15 07:32:31 +0000 UTClooks very good with the added detail. I like the whiskers very much ^.^ Also i'm not really a toe person but I love the pads on fingers and toes <3

2019-02-12 07:21:55 +0000 UTCJinjing looks stunning in all her new updated glory. Whiskers look a little bit better now that they are on a fully finished piece which is good. But the rest of her.... is truly beautiful. You should be proud of how far you have come. do also like that cute belly from too much experimenting. Also, that water looks amazing! Id love to just dive straight in.

2019-02-11 22:35:43 +0000 UTCI think the hair change looks the best. Previous pics gave me an uncanny valley type vibe. Especially with the eyelashes. Good improvement.

2019-02-11 20:44:04 +0000 UTCWow. I totally love the redesign. The whiskers look great and the colors give the image some nice depth. All in all amazing work. :)
