Zoey Compression Bra and Casual Women's Outfit (Flats + Some Shading) (Patreon)
Content
These are from Myumi (with the base sprite done by TiltSHIFT).
Players can either choose this casual outfit or the sweater + jeans outfit to be the casual outfit for Zach throughout the story whenever he's hanging out as a girl.
It's based heavily on THE iDOLM@STER Shiny Colors Sakuya Shirase's "Pro Hatchling" card. She was the original base design of Zoey waaaay back in September 2019, and it's a fitting tribute to have this outfit for Zoey. The "hatching" meta-joke in the name is coincidental, but I'm leaning into it by changing the logo text to FALSE, signifying that Zach/Zoey is falsely presenting in some way. The choker, bracelets, wallet chain, and sunglasses are optional accessories, but everything except the wallet chain can work with nearly every other outfit without issue.
In particular, the sunglasses, which are the quintessential "cool person" aviators, can be worn by Zoey. It, uh... really gives her a different vibe, which someone in the server described as "youre making zoey look like someone who wouldnt talk to me ever thats pretty hot"
"You fuckhead! I asked for my latte with oak milk, but this is clearly almond milk!"
*splashes the barista in the face with it*
"Can't you taste the difference?!"
The "Fuckhead!" part of that is because I can't stop seeing Zoey as Travis Touchdown from No More Heroes with them on her face.
Why yes, I did speedrun that game, thank you for asking! I still need to go back and run it again now that there's a PC version, although after Heroes Paradise, the thought of playing NMH1 without its iconic motion controls kinda makes me shrivel up and want to die.
Moving on, the compression bra will show up in all the routes, but in different ways. It'll appear in this stock form in ever route but Britney's, but in her route, it'll be Zach and Britney's redesigned compression bra for his engineering project and will have several high-tech features. Parts of the fabric will be a white mesh material, the center lines near the cleavage will be cooling channels of clear tubing filled with chilled water, there will be a pump flow rate knob on the bottom hem, and there will be a small wire connecting the pump for the fluid to its power source, a battery bank in Zach's pocket that he already needs for Ai's insane power consumption on his phone.
These outfits aren't quite done yet, but they have shading in a few places. Here's my change log with Myumi, both for things I changed and things he needs to change:
Casual Outfit:
-The belt looks better darkened to #B04F3E, so I adjusted it.
-I think the gold is too light and should be #9E8451, but it's a metallic object so it could just depend on shading. I'll leave it up to you.
-The choker looks great in shape, but needs to be a bit darker. I made it a desaturated 20% gray (#333333). I'm not sure how you'll be shading this, but it's a piece of shiny leather with a gloss to it. The choker buckle also needs to be lighter and look like polished metal when finished.
-The big bracelet isn't the shape requested, but it'd be too much work to change it. Just make the gold lining on it thicker and change the color to #DBA81F, and use a color dropper on the jade stones reference in the big reference sheet to vary the colors of the stones.
-I cleaned up a lot of the over-filled or under-filled flat colors.
Black Pants:
-I adjusted the pants to be much darker added the denim texturing to them. PLEASE KEEP THE COLORS FOR THE DENIM FULLY DESATURATED.
-I made some hem fading and shadow layers on the jeans to give a general idea of what I am looking for with the shading. PLEASE REDRAW AND REPLACE THESE.
-Some parts of the outlines over the jeans have been adjusted to black.
Sunglasses:
-After looking at them colored, I didn't love the sunglasses and replaced them with aviators. They're inside this Clip Studio Paint file, needing only slight redrawing and proper outlines to work. Please make sure to do this, because they are currently just an edited stock photo.
-The back leg of the glasses and its outline also need to be on a separate layer from the rest of the glasses so that they could be worn on the face if needed.
-Consult the blue-labeled reference for the shading and glasses legs, but remember that the frames are black and that the lenses are tinted brown.
Shirts:
-The shirts look great. I have no issues with them at this time, but look at the white t-shirts and male uniform dress shirts from the previous outfits for a shading comparison.
Compressed Bras:
-I made the buckles a light 75% gray plastic. Everything else looks great.
Myumi's pace is kinda erratic, but expect these outfits to be done sometime within the next 2 weeks.
