Elite Four - Winter Queen: Glacia! (Patreon)

The third Hoenn Elite Four member, Glacia, is here with her Snorunt, Glalie, and Froslass!

Glacia may not have the exact same hair (I'm not even sure how to begin replicating her actual hair in KK, without it looking like an obvious clump of hair accessories), I think this suits her well, if not much better. It gives her a more youthful look, anyways.

Her main outfit has been closely designed to look nearly the same, though I couldn't help but do a bit of liberties, particularly with the gloves and some added jewelry.

She enjoys a healthy wardrobe of clothing options, including an Emma Frost cosplay option (by all means, rip the set for your own purposes!), which actually lead me to designing her special casual set - Glacia's Diamond Form!

Getting this to look juuuust right was a bit difficult, but fortunately editing things like the MatCap material actually made unnecessary seems go away, and from there it was just some fine-tuning numbers to get the effect to like reflective. Actually, she looks more like a Pearl than a Diamond, huh? Ha! Get it? Pokemon Diamond and Pearl? No?

Anyways, the MatCap material I used is this one, in case you want to try it elsewhere:

It's a special cell-shaded material that I knicked from the Discord like a year ago. I haven't gotten around to using it much (though I used it in Regirock's first iteration for her stone spikes), I plan to play around with some more of these materials in the future.

Anyways, back to the Moemon!

These are some serious Hall-of-Fame Ice-types! My favorite so far! Replicating them was quite fun and I wish I documented the creation process a bit more, because there were some crazy ideas I was working with for Froslass that didn't end up coming to pass - simplicity over complexity, but I think I may have to return to these ones in the future for an update - particularly the wardrobe, which I'll admit is a bit lacking, but I wanted to get these out today rather than delay it any long.

Still, I think you'll find them quite enjoyable. Some minor notes: Glalie's head accessories are dark blue in her sprite, but on the actual Pokemon, they appear like Obsidian shards sticking out of her head. So, I opted for black coloring rather than dark blue. For Snorunt, getting her outfit was actually kind of tricky, because her shoulders are clipping BAD. It doesn't look like it, but they actually stick through the cowl she wears.

To "hide" this, well, I painted the kimono underneath. Just remove the "pantyhose" slot (it's actually her cowl) and you'll see what I mean. Stupid clipping.

Anyways, catbox sucks, cards are attached below.

Enjoy!
