CG Concept Preview! Episode 1 Reunited. (Patreon)

[There are no major spoilers related to this post, I promise! :P]

During September, we had a 7th year student Patreon Supporter help bring a earlier existing moment from the game to life as cg art! That's what today's concept preview is focused on.

It's related to episode 1, focusing on when Brandon and Erika first encounter each other for the first time after being split apart for 5 years prior to the academy as fate seems to have brought the two together once again. But it would seem there's much catching up to do since their time away! More so.. How different are the two than they remember from their past?

The finished cg scene itself features 4 variants, of which none are animated, but they offer expression changes to match the events within the game. (Those will be seen later this month as part of the finished preview post.)

Starting with our first look below..

This was the first preview I received, which would end up receiving improvements to the poses as things would later feel a bit too stiff and not as natural feeling. ^^" But the moment itself takes place shortly after Brandon first enters the classroom on his first day at the academy, Erika is naturally shocked by the sight of her Brother and in turn with the events..

It leads to John allowing the two to share her text book with him and the two begin to lightly catch up with one another while they can during class, learning of how the situation has allowed for Brandon to be here at the academy for only girls...

Here we have a bit of a different perspective to highlight some adjustments that were being made along the way...

As we move further along, we begin to see the poses come out closer to their final versions. I believe with this preview here.. I still had some mentions about fixing up the legs and posing of that stuff a bit.

Here we can see how the improvements to the poses were being made even late into the overall cg scene to help make the poses feel more natural and less stiff. ^^

The overall idea for the cg scene is pretty simple enough of course. The focus is set on the two being reunited once again, hence the title name in the post. The little up skirt shot that isn't known to Brandon, but more known to you, the viewer.. Is of course fanservice for yourself! :P
