Happy Valentines! but I don't give chocolates sorry. I can give some weekly animations though. they are not great, but I hope some will still like it.

(The render is vertical, but you can rotate it with your image viewer easy if you want to make them into a desktop wallpaper)

Initially, I was going to make them wear the new sweater trend not the virgin killer one (the one with straps between top and panties). but this is all I could find.
I also learned that EEVEE can't use displacement map yet. I heard it's only going to be able to do that in "EEVEE NEXT". Depending on the lighting, the sweater can still look flat. seems like I still have a long way to go in terms of shading.

Zero from Endwalker is the lady of this week.

Not gonna lie, I totally forgot about her until someone mentioned her. Initially, I wanted to rig her after Raya O Senna. ...that's quite some time ago.

I was actually surprised that they use Hyur body instead of Elezen for her. I was assuming she'll get the same treatment as the Ancients. I was wrong.

I need to research about her more. All I know is, she works like a mercenary and love spicy foods.  She looks super cool, and recently I saw her wearing paladin armors in a cutscene.I love armored girls. Idk if I would animate her wearing armor though.


Also speaking about armored girls, some mentioned a recent anime styled game released recently that has a lot of them. However,  I'm not an expert at rigging custom anime characters.
I did animate I-No from Guilty Gear for experiment back then, but that was not my rig.  I'm not closing the possibility of animating cell shaded characters, but FF have lot of characters I have yet to touch.

I also animated simple Persona 4 Naoto animation just to experiment with Persona 5 shader in blender last year (scrapped / unreleased) :

NAOTO dance


.....so yeah it's bad. I gotta learn more about how to do anime characters. we'll see.... not promising anything though. because I remember I wanted to animate Aurelia le Guin and Arianrhod from Eiyuu Densetsu (my type of woman lol), but I lost motivation immediately after I saw their model in blender. I have not regained the motivation back for them to this day. And there is also FF7 Rebirth coming up. I wonder if they have Lucrecia in the files. 

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

Well, about time we get compensation for all those trips to the Waking Sands. you always need to either walk, or pay 80 gold ferry  just to get there.
after her, I need my Aranea pills, then Saryu after (next month).  

...Anyway, that's it. 
as always, take care and thank you for your support and donations. m(_ _)m  
See you next week!
