This isn't even all my ocs and the photos are not good at ALL but the GLOW UP ON ASHE AND ELANDERVIER HELLOOOOO MAMA???

Azuma's skin looks so RICH and doesn't wash out!!! It took me a second because her lips/eyes looked weird but the more I stare at it the happier I am.

Cut because it’s Old Screenshots below- like Real Old, and I’ve never talked about Tangy because she’s been on a mental back burner but the FemHroths are so charming she’s getting another look-

Anyways hi this is Tangy she’s my Himbo Cat Girldad, she’s besties with Minfilia 💖 the reason she’s a Hrothgar Dilf is because Chuusday cooked up something that was supposed to make the drinker ‘disguised’ and Tangy is the kinda girl to say yes and ask questions after, so it’s no wonder she became a she/her Dilf and I wholly intend to find a way to capture some of that Thick-ness when DT properly launches ….

Did you know it’s really hard to make Hrothgar ORANGE?

Her entire character concept was “a catgirl that is so so orange and so so stupid” btw. I feel like she and Lyse will be good friends if I pick her up again properly lol.

Tbh I sorta dropped playing her because I didn’t want to progress the MSQ and have something bad happen to Minfilia :( which also meant I wasn’t posing her >>; so it goes.

Her funniest character trait is she can fight primals w/o being tempered or (consciously?) having the echo because she simply wholly believes she can’t be tempered while wearing a metal helmet. She is the LEAST serious character. And she doesn’t have a characterbio and post because I am simply aware I make characters like a bad habit :/ I didn’t wanna add to it where people could see it /)~(\

Benchmark Dawntrail 14.04.24

I am being so super self indulgent with these. But imo this is one of the best benchmark scenes we've had (though I did love shb a lot too)

Benchmark reminding me how great Yllis looks in her original fluffy hair.

bc I wont be able to sleep without messing with the benchmark stuff,,,, lol

i think maybe part of the difference is the tone in the scenes, the left is the one that is imported from his current vanilla appearance (giving an almost olive cast by comparison now?), and the one that is on the original screen from the CC for the benchmark, then the one on the right is me tweaking to a different tone section (greys I think which I didnt care for before on him in current basegame) and adding the blush instead of the eyeshadow for color to mess with it. Looks closer to him in current vanilla...... closer. Just still gives a slimmer more angular vibe to me which isn't really part of Persi's concept lol. His mouth definitely looks different in shape to me around the bow. Maybe less defined like they smoothed the mesh?

benchmark next to the last vanilla no-shader screenshot I have from character selection....

like... okay yeah it looks paler and more dusky around the nose but also I think maybe its the matte lip? Half the time I remove the lip makeup on Persiflage depending on how performative I feel he is being but hes so dead looking on the benchmark he needed the color -- and yet the matte is freaking me out maybe? I tried playing with the saturation etc to see if I am just dying for a better shader etc but IDK the details feel so different to me now. His nose eyes mouth chin all look different to me........ blah. his face somehow looks slimmer too??

why is his mouth freaking me out so much and even the eyes feel weird iDK

Pretty snowcat, pretty snowcat!

[mrlarkstin]

I am. IN FUCKING LOVE. Holy shit. I am IN LOVE. I cannot wait. I am so excited! I CANNOT WAIT.

[disciple-of-frost]

There she is!

I will admit I was worried about the limbal ring situation, I love the way they turned out. Since almost all of the hair options I use for her you have to unlock I had to let her hair down, but all in all she looks really good.

Def not gonna be Viper or Pictomancer throughout MSQ though.

[oh-hecate]

Fellas, is it gay to swoon over your own wol?

No but actually hot damn this benchmark update is PERFECT now! I can't WAIT for Dawntrail 🥹

[emahriel]

y'allll...

[lilbittymonster]

Benchmark spoilers under the cut but AAAAAAAAA HIGH DEF KITALI REAL!!!!

[sunnythanalan]

I'm amazed at how much better the skintones look, especially Griodix' darker complexion. Batuhan actually have pores now and the texture on his scales are amazing.

Have yet to check out my girlies. Though both Batuhan and Dayan have gotten much more pouty lips because of the enhanced shadows (personally I'm all for that, but I can understand why that would be jarring to some people)

[boggleoflight]

I'd be remiss to not also show off big brother Ystran.

😭✨🌙💕 I’m so excited!!!
