#loqi

OK here it is. The original file I made back in 2016 lol. Loqi vs Versus!Prompto vs Prompto

As you can see it's not 1:1, Versus!Prompto has very sunken cheeks. But the nose, chin, and eye areas are pretty spot on.

We also know there was a lot of models being reused here and there. There is a daemon that uses a modified version of the old Stella model in the game, if any of you are curious about seeing that in detail.

So yeah, it is still my belief that Loqi's model was made by modifying the old Versus!Prompto model. Not straight up reused as is, but tweaked to look different and put to a good use rather than wasted.

Also, I will preface this by saying this proves nothing, because all the models in the game are made with an in-house character creator that has very limited textures that just get slightly recolored (hence why everyone got Prom's shoulder birthmarks once they got shirtless, including Ardyn) but the main guys' face textures were hand-painted from scratch so you'd expect birthmarks to be different from the NPC textures at least, and yet they do share the most prominent one

I haven’t yet realized I never uploaded the original sketched up version of this cut-out. It has been sitting on my PC for 2 years now and I still like it. I remember I used a reference pic, so that must be the reason there aren’t a million fuck-ups

I just want to say that everyone from the ffxv universe deserved better.
