Update + Couple Bonus Variants of Recent Renders (Patreon)

Hey all!

Hope you've been doing well since the release of CR0FT 4 of and its variants. I've been struggling a bit with a lack of creative inspiration recently; I find I have lots of ideas, but none of them appeal to me, and it's hard to motivate myself to work on something when my brain is constantly going "eh."

But, after a bit, I've decided I want to try and make... something... with Jessie Rasberry from FF VII / FF7R. With her lithe, athletic build and brunette hair styled into a ponytail, I feel she'll fit right in alongside Claire and Lara.

The first image you'll find in today's post is a WIP of Jessie with a custom particle hair upgrade. I'm currently entertaining the idea of doing something a little different than normal. I may do one or two relatively low-effort "quickies" with minimal lighting, scene build, and sculpting, just to have some fun and play around with the model (since it's new to me) while also generating some content. And then a more detail-added render afterwards that's on par with the usual level of quality I try to provide.

After the Jessie renders I will be returning to RE content, especially since RE4R is releasing soon. My goal at this time is to hopefully make a variety of renders, cycling through Ada, Claire, and Jill with whatever ideas happen to inspire me at the moment.

Lastly, I spent a little bit of time having some fun rendering out some quick Dark Side tweaked alternates of the Ada lightsaber wallpapers, and also a version of CR0FT 4 with a yellow Lamborghini. For the Ada wallpapers, I added a stylized glove to her lightsaber hand, plus adjusted the depth of field focus and tweaked the post-processing using the same new workflow that I used for the first time in CR0FT 4.

As usual, the embedded images in this post (not counting the Jessie WIP, which isn't a render) are the 4K downscaled versions, and you can grab the native 8K versions from the MEGA archive :)
