Greetings The mighty Khagan of Azim steppe. Cirina is here today ready to please. I believe such is the privilege of being the Khagan.

Cirina here was a bit tricky to animate. had to fix lot of problems. the more I fix, the more problem occurs. And my sense got a bit numb too in the process. but I did say I was going to go easy on her, so I chose poses that are not too difficult for me to animate. I included a cameo character as well~ more 3some incoming once our cameo guest debut. at least that's the ideal plan in my head. still have to fix a lot in the rig first.

===========================================================================

And it's Naomi for today's new model or.. Neomi.... I'll just call her Naomi.

That's the second beach girl done. I believe only 1 left. though, feels like I'm forgetting someone in Costa. idk who.

Well you know who's next on the list to complete the set. And Maybe Chloe next after I rigged all 3 of them. or, I could decide again based on what comment and DMs I got~ but gotta finish those 3 girls first. going to do 4some at least one in each girl's debut. that's the plan.

Seeing the responses from last week, it seems I'll be playing Stellar Blade after all. The girls are hot and pretty, so why not. and looking at the trend going forward, I might start playing more Chinese and Korean games from now on... as long as it's not a gacha game. 

I'll try to animate the girls too.. especially with how beautiful their characters look. like usual, probably would still focus on the less popular characters just to fill the empty space. hopefully it's not a headache to mod. but for now, there are still plenty of beautiful characters to rig and debut from FF.  so I better get back to it.

===========================================================================

The usual petite character drill next month for Fanbox readers since Yluna is "involved" in majority of the scenes. after her, it's Anabella's debut. and based on the order, it's Vanille debut after Anabella. so I'm preparing for her too.

Fang might also make a cameo in 1 or 2 videos with Vanille. since these 2 are inseparable. ....ma-maybe Lightning as wellllll? no promises though.

Better not get too ambitious or I'll regret it later when I notice some problems that need fixing in post production. 4some animation is still a challenge for me. mostly about the time wasted fixing stuff. but practice is important anyway..I need it to improve. so why not...we'll see.

That's it for this week~! thanks for your kind support and donations as always m(_ _)m

wishing you all the best in all you do in life. please take care and stay safe! see you next week~

Greetings~ Are you well? it's Time for Y'shtola and Zero. not a surprising duo at all for some FF14 fans out there.

I'm tired lol. but it was pretty fun.  I'm still not that great at posing yet sadly. I wasted some time fixing things and did a couple of revisions for them. The cuddle animation was initially scrapped, but I decided to upload it as well. Maybe I'll fix it in the future.

I think I overdid it. I'm going back to my usual pace after this...I even had to sacrifice some sleep time for them.  I'm afraid it'll affect my IRL job eventually if I keep going at this pace. I still want to do it once in a while though. 4 or 5 animations a week still seems to be the limit for me at the moment. 

===========================================================================

Adding another Type-0 girl to the list. Rem Tokimiya

Her face contour is really similar to Reunion's Cissnei for some reason. or maybe it's just me.  not many complicated parts to rig too, so it was an easy one.

Well that's the second type-0 girl I rigged and I haven't even animated Seven yet.

probably would rig Sice for the next type 0 girl. if I'm not distracted by the other girls first.

tbh, I still haven't got the motivation to do the side characters from this game.

Maybe I'll do the main casts first since they are the only ones polished in the remaster for some odd reason. 

===========================================================================

But can I handle a 4some of XV characters? ( Reminder that I'm still a noob here haha.) It is also somewhat of a real test for the new PC. I'm going to try and use physics sim and subdivision modifier on all 3 of XV characters in 1 scene. Hair,boobs etc. 

In normal use cases, physics sim is not necessary at all. in fact, it's better to not use physics for multiple detailed characters on screen as the end result probably wouldn't be that much better than manual animations anyway. sometimes it could be even worse and it's quite performance heavy. not to mention the baked cache size and mesh clipping clean up. I just want to know the limit of the new PC. and, it's good practice. 

phew...That is all for this week~ 

Thank you for your kind support and donation as always m(_ _)m

do take care, stay safe, and good luck in whatever you do in life. see ya!

Hello~ How you've been? It's the end of August already. Another Updates and Renders~ Anyway, This week's ladies are here.  check them out below:

Compared to the twins from NieR, I had an easier time animating these three.

Maybe because FF14 hairs are just simple glob of mesh. 

These three are considered to be the mother figures of FF14.

At least recently. Before, it was either F'lhaminn or Miounne as far as I know. What is with Endwalker and Mothers btw? The twins have a beautiful elegant lady, The WoL have Venat and poor Erichthonios have Athena. 

Our WoL will end up smashing everyone's mother at this rate.....(MILFwalker?)

===========================================================================

Speaking of WoL, That's what I usually call the male model I use for all of my animations.
As you know, my animations are all heavily focused on the women.  But I received some messages saying I should animate certain girls with certain male model because it's "canon". Well, I don't really think about canon or non canon. I just animate the girls I like.  I usually picture him as me.

You can also interpret him as you or whoever you like. The male is not my main focus. There is actually no head behind the helmet. I make him wear a helmet, because some composition only look good with his head in frame. I only remove it whenever I need to use POV angle. And the helmet fit to any Final Fantasy Universe imo. 

But I do prefer using male model with big body size. it creates a great contrast. especially if the female is petite.

===========================================================================

The newly rigged FF14 models this week are Alisaie and Minfilia ARR.
(check the attached renders)

One of the reason I rigged Alisaie, because I have an idea of doing Oyakodon animation in the future. I need to remaster her mother model first however. My Ameliance model is quite outdated.  It probably shows how bad it is in some frames compared to Venat & Athena.

As for Minfilia, no reason really. I saw her name and I just rig when I had free time. I intend to add her Hydalin hair and outfit later.

===========================================================================

This week, I also fixed some of my FF15 rigs. Mainly Aranea and Lunafreya. 

Now the shapekey drivers and correction bones are better. Should make it easier to setup difficult poses from now on. I probably will animate Luna next to test my new tweak, then the monthly Aranea after, then maybe another FF14 character after that. 

That is all. thank you for all the support and donations! m(_ _)m

Hi~ This week's ladies are here.
Looks like my PC managed to survive all three renders. Super proud considering this PC is almost 8 years old already. I promise I will use the support donations for PC upgrades in the future. However, that might take a while, because PC hardware products are super expensive in this part of the world.

===========================================================================

I got 2 more FFXIV characters rigged this week.  Hilda from Heavensward and Meteion from Endwalker.

I intended to rig Lucia this week, but I got reminded of Hilda and suddenly my motivation shifted to Her. Elezen is tricky to get the rigging right anyway. Really weird propotions. That said, Lucia is not an Elezen, She is a Garlean but using an Elezen body type.  Same with Venat and the other ancients for some reason. Making it more tricky for my rig to look right in some poses. They are going to look funny with that super long legs.

I find Elezen quite sexy & elegant though. Like Mother Miounne. Does anyone remember her? I bet she has a naughty secret or two. What if she is secretly training Kan-E behind her counter?

===========================================================================

I said I maybe will animate a random FF14 character next, but...Might as well try to animate an elezen and two 'not elezens' in weird positions. This will serve as a good practice.
(check the attached renders for spoiler)

That's it! Thank you for the support and donations! m(_ _)m

Hi~ Are you well?  it's getting too hot lately. I hope you stay hydrated. it's important.
Anyway, The lady of this week is Raya O Senna.
check the links below to see her:

===========================================================================

I opted to include Kan-E-Senna as well in one of the videos. because why not. 

And I've been meaning to post an update on Twitter, but I assume Twitter don't like petite characters. So I plan to add more FF14 characters with bigger body size next time. petite FF14 character animations will have to wait after. I have the urge to animate Gaia and Ryne 3some at some point in the future, but for now, have the attached render instead.

==========================================================================

I finally have an Idea for this month's Aranea animations.
Just in the mood to go have a drink with her.  I'll go with that.
After Aranea, I'll try to animate Devola and Popola from Replicant.
I'm gonna start praying to the twelve gods so that my popoto PC can handle them.

And that is all. 
I'm very grateful for all of your donations and support. m(_ _)m
Sorry for saying this in every updates, but I truly am grateful. Also thank you for your ideas. 
I've listed the ones I like. I might use them in the future. not just for Aranea, maybe for other characters too.
