#alenikedit

I made this with text and glitters too but didn’t like it so here’s the plain version. It’s still edited a lot and I hate that Chat’s suit has so many texture artifacts, I need to see if It’s a problem of the shadow maps I’ve left on the other pieces. Anyway, here’s the original one (still a collage to make it bigger) and some other “ships”. 

How amazing it is when it’s not your mother language and you don’t know if the title actually makes sense.

It’s been ages since I’ve edited something and it shows. Kudos to all the people who are able to draw!

Original.

After a year and a half the first “wave” of my Miraculous Sets is finally finished. And I can’t believe it. If I think how newbie I was when I started Ladybug, Omg.

The way they are facing the opposite side of their counterparts wasn’t intentional, until I had to pose Gabriel and realise that I made a nice pattern without even noticing.

I had this picture to edit since March 2018 and today I needed to make my brain stop thinking about the new episode. I wasn’t that much inspired, that’s why I made it quickly and the background is basically untouched.

Needless to say I’m still thinking about the episode.

Before and after.

I missed making CCs, and I wasn’t able to study due to panic attacks, so I decided to do Catalyst-Illusion-Evil-Ladybug (I call her MissFortune), I left the red yoyo string like canon, but changed the earrings (I think they are like Antibug’s ones but I didn’t check). Mostly because I wanted to test the new body shadow I made for another project that I also can use with Queen Bee and Rena Rouge (the one I’ve used for LB is horrible and it would take too long to make it available to use for other projects), the big differences are separate breasts shadow instead of a solid piece and more body muscles definition like Chat (they can always be smoothed/removed/edited while I make the Sets), also less seams and folds. I took this time to make also a proper Chat Blanc (headcanon) instead of the bleached CN I made last year (so I could also test better the male body shadow). I like them both now, but MissFortune better. If you see strange shadows in the next unedited pics of her it’s because there still was the swimsuit normal map (s4s didn’t saved when I deleted it, and it was pointless going back into game when I noticed). I also took this opportunity to re-do my most loved edit with them, the position of the camera is as similar as I could but not the same, that’s why I had to do the edit again and they look different (May 18 vs Jen 19). Yes, I spent more time than I intended to but I needed to.

Akuma mask in my Hawkmoth Set.

MissFortune/Ladybug (had to delete yoyo shadow map since it was causing artifacts but the costume is dark so it’s not a problem).

Chat Blanc/Chat Noir (the normal map of the costume needs to be adjusted since the texture is lighter).

Before/after.

Hello! As you can see Hawkmoth Set is almost ready. I need to adjust a couple of vertexes of the mask on the back, create the LODs and the previews/thumbnails for the single items. I don’t think I am able to do it before going to bed, but in 24h it should be uploaded in TSR and waiting for review.

It is made of 9 (more if you consider the akuma mask for everyone and the double position of the cane) items. His miraculous has only one swatch because I have no idea how it changes. Maybe I’m going to do the inactive one with “pulsing” light as we saw in Sandboy.

Sorry for the last pic, I wanted to do a more cohesive collage than the first one but ended up something “meh”. I mean I like it, but probably you don’t. 

Uh, I haven’t posted the last progress pics in there so here you go. The pics are taken in CAS with random poses, but you can see the other position of the cane.

I’ve decided to include in the set the akuma mask too (for all ages) even if I don’t make the akumatized because maybe someone needs it to tell stories (and it’s an already finished piece) and I don’t know if in the future I’m going to do some villains too. (I kinda wanted to include it in the main preview but the transparency was a problem to edit)

Close up.
