Ibuki Ronin (WIP 01)

Thank you Don, appreciate it!

BrutalAce

Thank you! :) Answering your questions, well hairstyles are always a lot of work because you have to work with new textures, physics, bones etc to make sure they work properly, it's not difficult but very time consuming to bring multiple hairstyles in a single mod. No Ibuki didn't presented a lot of challenge so far but there are couple of new things that I am figuring out like AfterImages, Weapons etc and those are taking some time. I removed her kite for now and just focusing on the main mod, will add kite later and see what kind of challenge that will bring. Overall I am enjoying modding her so I don't mind some challenges.

BrutalAce

Looking very, very good. No need to hurry to finish it, but the preview is very appreciated. I can already imagine how charming she'll look with the hat, the idea is great. I hope you don't mind me asking some questions (feel free to not answer anything that's a bother xD). Does it take a lot of work to make variations of the mod with the different hairstyles available for the character? Is Ibuki so far the hardest the work with? I remember it being said that her materials, specially for her afterimages and kite could be very troublesome.

MrFurby

Thank you! Yes indeed it's tasteful and you will definitely notice an improvement not to mention a slight increase in size and rounder breasts result in better physics and here we have a lot of physics lovers so I make sure I do all the necessary arrangements for my fans lol. As for the sword I think I'll go with classic Katana this time, highly decorated and beautiful as if she was a high Onna Musha who turned into sexy Ronin, at least that's what I am trying to achieve though I still have to see if a long Katana cause any clipping with her jacket physics etc and then I'll make the final decision but definitely leaning towards a Katana right now.

BrutalAce

Nice, like I said before it doesn't have to be ridiculous as long as it's tasteful I'm happy. And What kind of sword type are you thinking of using? A classic Katana or something closer to a Tanto (short sword)?

Merasmus

Great work as usual BA! Take all the time you need, we appreciate your work :D

You mean it's her long ponyTAIL? ;) Looking forward to the "lazy Sunday" or the "woke up like this" look then.

Thank you for always having faith in my ideas and supporting them, I really appreciate that.

BrutalAce

Since Ibuki is a well trained kunoichi a non serious one running off from duty and trying to enjoy life, a Ronin idea is perfect for her. Indeed a Samurai Champloo :D

BrutalAce

Thank you my friend and trust me I appreciate this patience, it allows me to take my time with mods and give you guys the quality you expect from me.

BrutalAce

She did received a modest buff to her bust but something that makes sense with her overall proportions, Ibuki by default have larger bust than Sakura and Karin so I am keeping that in mind and yes she'll have a sword, it won't be exactly the same like Chunli because Chunli received Tao sword which originates from China while Ibuki will have a Samurai which is Japanese but if you mean a decorated Asian sword then yes for sure!

BrutalAce

Thank you!

BrutalAce

I like the lazy Sunday idea lol, guess that can be made as a variant, and no lmao it's her long pony not the tail.

BrutalAce

Thank you, I am glad all of you like this idea. About the breast I did slightly increased her bust size as breasts are soft bodies so they being in tight kimonos vs being loose in bikinis is different but the increment is within sensible range of Ibuki's original bust size, I am not going to give her bust like Laura or Chunli. Rest assured I am pretty confident that you guys will like what I did with her body and the outfit, I will share more soon.

BrutalAce

Thank you! I want you guys to have releases as fast as I can make them but not without good quality so I appreciate the patience and support.

BrutalAce

Thank you! Once I complete the main idea I can add more variants like no bandages and asymmetrical bandages, both are good ideas.

BrutalAce

Thanks a lot my friend.

BrutalAce

Thank you so much!

BrutalAce

This is looking great! I really appreciate you for the effort you put into these mods.

Her new body and face are incredible. Bravo, Ace. Can't wait for this one.

I really like the idea of this, and its a really sexy outfit. I'd prefer though if there was a variant or if there were less wraps or bandages, and perhaps not the same on both legs- just as with Menat's awesome battle costume- perhaps have one leg have bandages, on the thigh, while the other on the calf. I'd perfer no bandages on the feet themselves, or on just one foot- asymmetrical is more attractive. IMO.

Oh, I guess it's really long hair.

Love how the mod is looking so far it looks sick! Can't wait to see more! As for not asking about releases, personally I figure you are just busy and taking care of more important things first, so I leave it alone until you eventually get to it yourself naturally when I assume you don't so much on your plate

PrinceATI

I really like this. The outfit looks classy, with the bikini underneath sexy but not ridiculously skimpy and her proportions are sensible (someone else mentioned a "bust buff" but honestly I think the game starts to lose a little credibility and all the models look samey if they all have pneumatic chests). Looking forward to seeing more of this one.

Noel Plum

What if she lost the bikini and kept everything else though? Lazy Sunday style. 8) Just a fun idea. The shiny coat is my favorite part. What's that thing between her legs? Did she grow a tail?

This is really nice.

killalot2k

I hope she's been getting the bust buff (I know nothing ridiculous or that causes clipping) for both mods similar to other mods you've done recently. Otherwise love the style it suits her. And is she getting a sword similar to the recent Chun mod?

Merasmus

Great idea about this mod. The reason i don't Keep asking about the release it's that I've learned to be patient I always get a great mod from you

drrichard24
