Hoe Hoe Hoe - Redux
I'm quite fond of Noelle, Jackie, and Trixie, and I like the like the way we got to see how each of them turned from dainty Christmas ladies into trashy street sluts. However,
Jackie's story was - to be frank about it - a rush job on my part, and it's been bugging me whenever I look back at it. I'd planned to finish the set in time for Christmas, but I barely had time to work on it in between Real Life and the Christmas rush at my real job (pretty stupid thing to do, thinking back on it). And it shows too - the render quality is sub-par, the transformation itself is whack, the dialogue is rubbish, and even her final design isn't that good looking. Hell, even the
speech bubbles are grainy as hell, because I didn't take the time to adjust them properly.
So I'm going to redo that set this week and do it the way I'd originally intended. Don't worry, I'm not going to spend a stupid amount of time on this one - spending a lot of time essentially remaking a set you guys have seen already would just be dick-ish of me (hence why I'm making this a public post to let you guys know what I'll be working on).
Most of the work is thankfully already done - I'm reusing the format, set, and most of the outfits, and I've even using Noelle and Trixie's updated models - so, I'm just going to refine it and improve the pacing where needed. I am going to change up Jackie's character though - as the Ice Queen of Winter, she's essentially the Mean Girl of the North Pole, and is none too pleased that her old rival Noelle Claus has stolen he thunder with her new "Bad Girl" attitude. This leads to Jackie confronting Noelle and engaging in an ill-conceived "Skank-Off" to out-do her and win back her reputation. You can imagine how this goes...
