Character Spotlight: Anastasia (Patreon)

  So I just recently hit 2500 Pixiv followers and decided that rather than awkwardly forcing the numbers "2500" onto some numerically irrelevant picture I'd do something a little more interesting. To that end, here is my first and probably most familiar original character spotlight: Anastasia the high elf!

  I first came up with the character around late 2018. Daz was starting to feel like a comfortable medium and I wanted to make myself a desktop wallpaper, albeit one that wasn't lewd enough that anyone would ask too many questions. In all my creativity I threw together this model I tentatively named "Big tiddy elf". This wasn't something I wanted to half ass given that I'd end up seeing the image every time I'd boot up my PC. Daz's single greatest tool, stronger than raytraced lighting and photoreal rendering, is the "voluptuous" shape key for the genesis female body. So that, a few increases to bust and butt, plumped up lips and a slimmed down waist: a perfect recipe for tentacle monster r*pe bait... 

I mean wholesome OC

So that character that now acts as my Patreon banner (The stated wallpaper I was making) and profile picture was born and I continued to tweak the model over time. The name "Anastasia" came from the original body texture set I used for the character. Eventually it started to feel far fetched that I should shoehorn an elf into so many scenarios so I put together a human version of the character. Besides the obvious change in ears I wanted to add some more detail to cement the distinction. Firstly I updated to a more realistic texture set, and added some more detailed bumpmaps to the skin. I played around with the body tone a bit, reducing the muscle and softening the stomach, adding a few age lines to the face. The final addition, and one that will lead us into the next character spotlight, was some stretchmarks on the belly. 

  So there's some free flow thought bollocks on how I threw together this character. Hope you enjoy the works featuring her as much as I do making them, feedback is always welcome, and honestly I prefer constructive criticism over compliments so don't hold back. When Pixiv hits 3000 followers I'll drop the next spotlight on Anastasia's semi-cannon-sometimes-not-always-I-never-thought-it-through daughter, Veronica
