Jill Valentine Selfie Release

Hey all! Hope you've been doing well since the recent WIP/update post :)

Here's the Jill Valentine selfie I teased! Unfortunately, I don't really have any fancy titles or flavor text for this one. Typically, having a title and/or flavor text for a render is something that results from a render being inspired, whether by a thought, feeling, emotion, idea, or other work of art, etc. But, in this case, I just wanted to make a selfie render for Jill to go with the ones for Ada and Claire.

That said, inspiration or no, I'm really happy with how this came out! I was extremely happy with how the prior selfie renders for Ada and Claire turned out, so I did my best to make sure Jill's selfie was of equal quality. I hope you all enjoy it, too :)

As for the render itself, not a lot to talk about. I feel like I have a pretty well-established style at this point, and I tend not to stray too far from that. Starting from the previous post's WIPs, compared to the those teasers, I made a few pose tweaks, like I mentioned I was thinking of doing. I also did some sculpt work and added in an environment/scene and lighting setup (obviously). I did push Jill's bust size a smidge so I could do some subtle squish sculpting with a hint of areola peek, which I thought added a little bit of uniqueness to the render. I guess you could say this render features Jill's OG RE3 bust instead of her remake bust lol. But, even having done that, I feel this render is still consistent with my established style.

As for variants, I'll be rendering out the Lingerie version (aka "SFW" with bra top) tonight and posting that tomorrow. But I wanted to go ahead and get this published for you all. I'm also toying around with the idea of rendering out a small patch to make Jill's eyes looking at her phone, like how these types of selfies tend to usually look IRL. Assuming that goes smoothly and I don't run into any issues with blending in the patch in post, etc., I should have that available tomorrow alongside the Lingerie variant. (I'll apply the patch to both versions, so you'll have four versions total — topless and with bra, with both eyes looking at camera/viewer and eyes looking at phone.)

There's also a handful of post-processing styles to enjoy. Pictured here are "soft" and "stylized color grading," respectively. There's also "sharp" in the MEGA archive, which is just "soft" with a few post-processing effects either omitted or adjusted. I found that Jill was in plenty sharp focus even on the "soft" render, so I didn't bother with a "hybrid" version. I'm planning to do all the variants in the same offering of post-processing styles, of course.

In closing, as always, thank you for your support <3

P.S.
This render technically uses the updated RE5 battlesuit Jill model, but since Jill is nude and has her RE3R hairstyle, I labeled this in the MEGA archive as a non-RE5 Jill render. You can find this render in the following folder:
