F1re 3mblem R4diant D4wn - Ike (Hero) (Patreon)

My pookie pookie babygirl

Yeah.

Hiya everyone, I'm just trying to finish Acheron's release but the idea of toggling to her emanator form is too tiring, so in the meanwhile I've been working on a commission, and well, I decided I had to post this. You can notice I'm nentally drained on how simple the preview is considering this is Ike. I try to go all in when it comes to him.

Yeah, I ported a low poly wii model and then I decided to sculpt his face and then rig it 🤡🤡🤡🤡

BUT IT'S MY POOKIE

I mean, it's been quite a while since I've felt like I don't have a good cool model of Ike. Engage model kinda sucks despite being quite nice. Smash models are way too extreme on this form, and the rest are either his younger form or not detailed enough. Yes, I also downloaded fates just to check the model and then deleted it as soon as I got what I wanted.

So yeah, I had to take action. And the RD model doesn't look that low poly, does it? IT DOESN'T I MEAN IT DOES BUT IT'S NOT THAT BAD STOP IT'S GOOD ENOUGH.

Why do his lips look so weird tho 😭😭😭😭 Like, I rally tried to make him look as good as possible, but I can't help but feel like his face still looks awkward. Something doesn't fully click here, but eh. It's better than the engage and smash models for sure.

Oh right, I also gave him a rhinoplasty, added a bit of hair, textured his mouth, and drew eyes for him. I forgot the PSD there and I'm not packing the folder again. Don't judge my textures. I'll cry. I also left the original head in case you dislike my edit (like why tho, it's way too good shut up)

So yep, I did this. Then I saw a bit of the prerendered model and realized I want to do him from scratch. I guess this was not as useless as I had expected. Sculpting him a face will do for now.

So yep, very simple model, everyone gets him and no password, since I'm kinda tempted to post him on DA. Maybe it would do better there, who knows. Ah, also, no sword. I had ported different Ikes over the years, and most of them, if not all of them are fully public, so just grab his sword somewhere else. Even the brawl sword must be better. I think that's actually my first port as RisingAlyx lol

Textures by Vert092. For some reason, the textures weren't there when I ripped them. Dunno why. I'd ask but I got an assistant for that and he hasn't reached to me in weeks. I'm worried about him.

Anyways, gotta go back to try and toggle Acheron's textures. Wish me luck. I don't feel like doing it. But I gotta release her now. God I hate my life.
