3D Topology and Character Studies. Yoko and Cass 2017? (Patreon)
Content
Every day at the shrine, inbetween folding 16 page Lotus Flower Origamis, I’ve been studying Topology and Skin Shaders.
Why? Because I want people to look at this game and say, “This has no right to look this good.”
And yesterday, before sitting down to try sketching either girls, I asked the Patreon Discord, “What style of HIPFC did you like best for Yoko?” And I got the same answer I usually get when I ask this question:
How Yoko looked, in 2017, when Cassandra was hiding under the desk.
So, last night when I got home, I found the closest anime character to Yoko that I could find appearance wise: Mari Kurihara (PRISON SCHOOL) and used her as a baseline for anime art rules I had to follow for the sake of Topology. (My faces can be random at times…)
Then I took 2017 Yoko and the latest version of Yoko and combined them to put together the best version of Yoko that I could think of.
Which you can now see here! Yoko was always meant to have bags under her eyes, but in the comic they ket coming and going because I kept making her look old by accident.
Basically Yoko had three rules, and I felt I could never get them all portrayed at the same time, visually. Ever.
1. She’s hot. Like, elegant and mature, hot.
2. She’s exhausted. Constantly tormented by failure/depression.
3. She’s tough, but appears fragile and weepy.
And apparently, 2017 Yoko was the closest to that. Other times she just looked like an Older Woman. 🙈
As for Cass. Well… Cass has always looked like Cass, I think. 😂
So she was never that hard. A small, noisy girl that has no idea what she’s doing with herself 99% of the time.
Anyway. I’ll keep working on this until the third.
At which point, when my free time comes around again I will drop this immediately until we’re all caught up for November!
Until then, thoughts on these? This is how the girls will look in 3D! 😤 And don’t worry about the eyes. I couldn’t find anyone to hire that knew how to do them… but I now know several different ways I can do them! 😤✊✊✊✊
Cheers!
