Jade redesign and backstory (+ wallpapers) (Patreon)

This took me WAY too long. but hey that's good because I spent lots of time figuring out her design! So it's official. Jade is a cyborg (i'm still working on a proper name for this species) Named after the gem in her chest that serves as her main source of power (or consciousness) I am yet to describe where it came from and how Jade came to be but let's say she's not the only one of her kind.

Jade is basically indistinguishable from organic lifeforms as she has personality and feelings (or so it seems) she's not really one to talk as she's always often getting stuck into her hobbies. but if you manage to gain her attention she can be really open. Jade is usually kind, maybe a bit too kind but if you get on her bad side she'll remind you who's in charge as she usually likes to be the one who takes charge.

So her origin is unknown at this point but what I do know is that she Had a creator. but this gem.. where did it come from? It was an interesting piece which had strange properties. It's clear that who or whatever created her used this gem to their advantage to fabricate a conscious machine with immense capabilities, hence why she's such a good pilot. speaking of which Jade is a professional Anti-Gravity racing pilot who Is known and feared mostly for her aggressive racing style. It seems whoever this creater was, intended to have her be fit perfectly for the task of becoming a champion. Wait isn't it illegal for non organic lifeforms to attend races?

As a hobby Jade experiments in developing Virtual reality tech in her spare time. Her main experiment was to create a virtual world In which anyone could visit and participate in her virtual minigames. Though she lost interest and moved to other things in the hardware area with a focus in VR haptics and locomotion. Oh and she's also a massive gamer girl.

I was aiming for a more synthwave vibe with this pic really just to show off her new design. Heres the main changes: Added elements to make her feel more cyber. A Gem being her main source of power (or consciousness). Glowing green claws and eyes (were previously pink) 4 toes instead of 3, an overall sleeker/sharper design and reworked fur pattern.

so why are there different versions? mainly to show her reworked outfit and what's underneath. First image is her normal form, no clothes. Second image she's in her signature outfit which is what she mainly wears when racing but also as casual wear on special occasions. Third image is her exposed form. not that she would ever go out in public like this but I wanted to show you what's underneath the fur plating. the last 2 images are showing the gem and how it flows through her body. usually shown when she's doing high performance tasks (or in this case just showing it off for you lot)

let me know what you think of her new design! and with this out of the way I can now make her 3D form. I won't be starting that just yet but it is a high priority!
