Public release of XJ-9 render has been delayed

Hey!

I recently made a render of XJ-9, if you're a patron you've probably seen it, but I've decided to announce that it will not be released to the public until a later date. Let me go over the reasons:

First and foremost, I feel that the current rewards for patrons isn't exactly fair. Whilst earlier access seems to be well received, I've come to the conclusion that the window between early access and public release is too short. Two days isn't much. From here on out, 2 days will be the minimum, with an average of about 4 days instead.

There were also technical issues going in that I really want to address. Most XJ9 works make it pretty clear that each of her limbs were separate pieces connected to create one almost whole body. I can't really do that properly without taking a gamble on model editing so I tried to replicate it through texture editing. It didn't pan out well because I have no idea how to make it loop around right (so at the back area you can see they're clearly apart) and if you're a patron you'll know that the final result is that she has a whole body aside from her legs from the knee-down. This is more egregious when I want to release a resource pack: your userbase really shouldn't have to fix your problems. I hear shantaes source files for the SFM port got released so I'll try and look into that and its UV and see if there's anything I can do to fix it.

To make up for this I am going to work on an alternate render based on some of the fan-art going around. Whether thats Pennc's goth jenny or Dabbles cop jenny I'm not really too sure, I'm leaning towards goth jenny, but lemme know what you think!
