Hey there, patrons. I have a poll to get some feedback on a potential character model change for Dominic.

I won't rehash all the character adjustments I've recently made or why I'm making them, but if you want more details, check out some of the recent game status updates plus last month's Behind the Scenes post.

It's come time to make revisions to Dominic since I need to create some of his new CGs, but I'm not super pleased with what I have to work with. Some issues:

  • His hair asset can't be made to hang naturally

  • His face is a little too generic for what I envisioned as a "leading man" type of appearance

  • His textures have baked in details like cheek highlights and poorly made nipples that I can't change

  • His skin materials aren't PBR, so the overall visual is less realistic than I'd like

There aren't any hair assets for his generation of Daz 3D figure that are comparable to the current hair, but there are for the newest generation, Genesis 9. I first attempted to use a tool to make a Genesis 9 copy of the original Dominic figure so that I could use a newer hair asset, but that didn't work out. Ultimately I tried my hand at just remaking him from scratch as a Genesis 9 figure.

Below I have some comparison pics of the original model and the start of a potential new one. I worked to maintain his body type and to keep his facial features close while giving him a squarer jaw and stronger brows. Here's a look at the naked models as well as both in Dominic's day 1 clothes.

Some things I already plan to change should I go with the new model:

  • New shaders for his hair to make it blacker/remove the gray highlights

  • Fix his belly button

  • Take a look at overall proportions

  • Adjust his dick since I just applied a default one

Please vote below if you're so inclined—since Dominic is a romanceable character and some players are already attached to him, I don't want to change him if the response is mostly negative. You can also select that you don't really have an opinion if you could go either way. And of course feel free to comment or DM me with more specific feedback.

Thank you in advance for your input!

While I really respect the effort and thought you put into remodeling the characters, I’ll be honest that my heart sinks whenever I see a remodel post 🥲 I know a remodel means that there’ll be a longer wait to play more of the story and experience more of the characters’ journey, which I’m really pumped for! You’re the artist and you have creative direction over what to prioritise. Just sharing how I feel as a longtime silent follower :)

I appreciate that - I truly dislike how long it takes for each update since I know longtime followers like you have been waiting so patiently. I think in this case it wouldn't really delay much since Dominic has so few CGs compared to other characters. What takes longest is actually writing, so art stuff is more a way to get me inspired to write out dialogue. I perhaps put a little too much pressure on myself to make sure the wait for the story continuation feels worth it...
