Molly, Umami, and Aya (profile updates 2020)

May 15, 2020

Time for another batch of character updates! I've been working off-and-on over the past couple weeks, and now Molly, Umami, and Aya are the next bunch to get updated. Molly as part of a commission project (private for now; some album art), Umami and Aya because the urge simply struck me!

Of the three, Umami and Aya proved the biggest challenge, for varied - yet similar - reasons. In Umami's case, it was the vibrancy of her hair color; I wanted to keep it close to how her images have always looked, but just brighten it up a bit, saturate the colors more. Surprisingly tricky to strike that balance, but I really appreciate how well the newer rendering can handle that (sometimes too well, I had to tone it down a lot). Aya, similar in that her hair was a challenge, though it was in making it less saturated, matching as close to her old color as possible. Skin tone was an extra challenge as well; I've already done some darker tones with Kuchi, but I wanted to set Aya apart a little, not just copy the exact same tone. And in the end it's still very similar, but subtle differences are usually enough for me. ^^

Anyhow! Full-size images attached as usual, two for each character, and my hub website has profiles for all of these as well! Still filling out a lot of actual profile details, but I've got birthdates and heights filled-in for everyone who's been updated, at the very least. Link: https://www.saftkeur.com/characters

Molly - tails and tongues

Jul 6, 2018

Something "simple" done for my character Molly, who up until now had never been featured in their own picture. A technical experiment as well; getting her hair to do this was a new challenge, jumping back and forth between DAZ Studio (for the posing and rendering) and Blender (for manipulating her hair model).

Anyway, hi! Molly's just being playfully friendly and showing off a bit, nothing special. Enjoying the view? :P

Molly profile (update 2018)

Jun 18, 2018

One of many character updates well overdue! This time featuring Molly, a character I don't believe I've given a scene yet.

Molly's character is a bit of a mystery, to me. I simply haven't figured out everything of her personality, yet. I know she very much has a preference for other ladies; she's gentle but indulgent, perhaps a bit less prone to eating all of her little playmates and playthings. And I know she's more relaxed, despite having a bit of a peppy appearance...

Not much is fully worked-out, beyond that! Even though she's been around for a couple years now, I think. But I quite like her design, thus the update here; giving her a bit more realistic look, smoothing some details, and of course giving her a little more cleavage because why not. :)

Here's hoping for some more inspiration to come for her, now! I've also got a very small picture to follow up later, which might help to flesh out a bit more.
