Remaking Emma (And other updates)

Look at that cute face <3 She wouldn't hurt a fly...

I'm planning to make a comic with Opal AND Emma.
(Many people having been asking for her as well!)

I'm constantly remaking skin materials and fine tuning my characters, which is a lot of work that often goes unnoticed😜 so here's a peak behind the scenes, starting with yet another skin texture overhaul:

The example above is one of the many ways I've been trying to make skin that seems to have "infinite resolution" even when you zoom in super close ;)

Emma is a "wild spirit" and her hair should be messier, so I re-sculpted her hair a bit to reflect that. Also fixed the ears clipping through her hair!

I forgot to record this but I made some fine adjustments to her face as well (her eyes were just slightly too crazy before, she barely looked like Opal's sister. Also on a side note, the actual video recording of me fixing her hair is pretty funny, because in the video you can hear me losing my mind and swearing, because either some software crashed again or the computer would freeze for no good reason 😅 Yes, my patience ran out years ago)

Here's another random skin test (less detail, but much smooooother!):
Also, in this version Emma still has the old version of her eyelids (the lower eyelids are too stylized)

HOWEVER, I use a different program to render characters like Opal and Emma (it gives me better results, which these characters deserve, but it's a pain in the ass to use) so I need time to make a comic with these 2 happen! Which is why I'll be publishing other shorter comics and imagesets until this one is ready!

Meanwhile, I'll have updates about the alternative, short(ish) comic I'm working on in just a few days. 😉Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
