Experiment (Patreon)

I wanted to experiment new things. I had an idea of a new visual creation process while trying to sleep (I often do that).

I took Android 18 from DBZ for a style guide, but I will evolve it.

I wanted to try an alternative style, not for DH, but potentially for side mini-games, or even big games if people like it. I stick to my current style for DH, to the end.

I) I wanted to make faces a lot more stylized, less "realistic", but it was looking ugly with the Base model of Daz3D. The idea is that I have created my own new Eyes, that fit the style (that are not spheres anymore)

I want to make custom eyes. Actually, all eyes are almost the same (I mean like real humans), but I want very different eyes like you can see in anime/manga. I want to make a set of very different eyes morphs.
It will require some work though, because the generic parameters such as "Close eyes" in Daz3D won't work with that, so I will have to create custom morphs for all basic moves. Same for face expression like smiling, it will require specific new morphs that I will have to sculpt.

I really want to put an emphasis on doing unique stylized Eyes, not the current 3D realistic.
For now it's just simples android 18 eyes, but it's just my first try.

This mainly concerns their faces thought, I'm very happy with their bodies, of course I'll make them better, but no drastic changes.

II) Very stylized morphs look weird when you have smooth shadows. I tried to make light cel-shading. Cel-shading is not working super good with my assets, however when it's flat color it's super easy & quick to fix, or add shading, by hand drawing.

Don't pay attention to her hair, it's Luna's hair that looked like android 18, that I used, but I didn't take the time to make it fit to her cranium.

Eyes' texture are done by mouse, I will make it by hand later (To have that "line by hand" look)

There is only 4h of work on that new style, so take it into consideration, the room for improvement is insane.

 You can compare it to this image of Emma (Around mid 2022?), that was my first "try" on my 3D style, you can see the difference with my actual work.

I will work on that little by little, I now do experiments in replacement of playing video games XD (I don't play video games at all anymore now), I expect/hope to see a good progression on it, if I work good and progress good, we might see something EPIC for the future games!
