Chloé - Anubian Jackal Redesign (No Clothes)
Added 2022-11-09 11:16:45 +0000 UTCAs announced in the last post, I had Chloé taken back to the drawing board for a redesign. Last month I had a lot of time to think about making her Zoe's sister, but eventually abandoned the idea after coming to the conclusion that it would be better to do another update of Zoe's model down the line, which should only clean up some inconsistencies and stay a lot closer to the original.
Since this new model looked fairly different from Zoe, it seemed like a much better idea to turn her into a completely new original character, rather than a weird Zoe lookalike that would co-exists next to her and would be hard to place in any sort of plot.
Meet Chloé... Patra! An anubian jackal goddess that is supposed to be the star of the show in likely the next Encounter episode, which will take place in an Egyptian setting. I admittedly already planned to have a setting like this in a future episode, but I had zero plans for characters and plot. A lot of people are still messaging me if I ever planned to bring back Jackal from one of my very first animations, and considering that Chloé's side profile looks quite jackal-like, I counted two and two together. I furthermore had always been in love with anubian-style jackals, so this was definitely a subject that I feel quite intrigued digging into!
Note that while these renders are supposed to show off her materials, her design is still unfinished and will be expanded upon in the upcoming weeks. I had to take a few steps back with Chloé and drop the clothes that Cid made for her, though they might be repurposed for Zoe's re-revision next year since they already looked great. I mostly spent the recent days retexturing her, working on her materials, and doing some first accessories that were easy to model, such as the ankh necklace. I'll probably do a couple more touches before Cid will take it from here next month to make her some proper Egytian-style clothes.
For her clothes we've decided to go with a loincloth, a bandage-esque bra, and bracelets for her wrists. I might start on the later myself already this month, but I also need to make sure to get some more animation work done on the Bunsen animation, for which I'm already planning to show a new playblast next week, hah!
Here's hoping you like where this character is taken. I certainly heard you regarding Zoe and will make sure she gets a touch up next year that is far more subtle and keeps her closer to the original. Chloé however will become a completely new original character with her own personality, traits, and abilities. I'll make sure to share some more shots of her once her clothes and accessories are done. I'm quite certain that she'll look absolutely beautiful in a full outfit with proper fur and all!
Materials are still work-in-progress, hope you like! (:

Can't wait to see it in play

2023-04-10 18:10:35 +0000 UTCFur won't be done until much later. Clothes and rigging will be coming first! (:

2022-11-16 11:09:53 +0000 UTCOh yeah, her uvula will be fully rigged in this model. The previous one was mostly animated with blendshapes, which made more detailed interactions quite hard. The new model should allow for much better in-throat interactions!

2022-11-16 11:09:00 +0000 UTCLikely so! I gotta see how it looks on her! (:
CakeInferno
2022-11-16 11:07:13 +0000 UTCThank ya! Still improving her mouth textures over the course of the next weeks! (:
CakeInferno
2022-11-16 11:03:40 +0000 UTCHaha, it's not unlikely they'll appear together in a future animation once both models are ready for action! (:

2022-11-16 11:03:04 +0000 UTCStill on track! Posting an update today! :D

2022-11-16 11:01:29 +0000 UTCi see that these are the hairless/furless varients do you think we can get a rough fur look?

2022-11-16 00:26:28 +0000 UTCWhat I hope for is that her uvula will be interacted with when dealing with her prey, especially if it's in POV form. They don't get as much love in your animations as they should.

2022-11-11 11:21:06 +0000 UTCInternal mouth textures are still a work in progress! (:
CakeInferno
2022-11-11 10:25:39 +0000 UTCCan't wait to be eaten by her. Zoe might feel like she has competition

2022-11-10 23:51:04 +0000 UTCI also feel that her mouth is a tad bit "shallow" compared to Zoe's, but I guess that's just how it is lol.

2022-11-10 05:57:52 +0000 UTCAny thoughts about what you're going to do with her hair style? Hard to be the classical Egyptian style Hime Cut!
Jackaline
2022-11-10 03:33:33 +0000 UTCHow she also loves the taste of humans as well as loves to step on them. ^_^ <3

2022-11-09 19:28:38 +0000 UTCThe result of mixing Zoe and Diane Foxington is so stunning. Painfully beautiful! I do feel that her mouth could have been one or maby two "teeth" deeper, but I might be wrong about that.
Danny
2022-11-09 17:44:27 +0000 UTCThough I was looking forward to a Zoe/Chloe duo, this redesign is definitely looking amazing. Taking place in Egypt, you can't escape being eaten by a vixen anywhere xD

2022-11-09 13:32:29 +0000 UTCdefine update I am hoping youll update human chick. It's nice to have a baregoot human preyed upon by giant vixens.

2022-11-09 13:17:41 +0000 UTCAnubis is my favorite Egyptian god, so I know I'll like it. Chloé Patra, that's very clever. I can't wait to see more of her, inside and out.

2022-11-09 13:14:40 +0000 UTCooh! She's looking great so far! And even now that tongue material/texture looks quite pleasant!
Aeywon
2022-11-09 12:54:35 +0000 UTCWoah.... She's absolutely stunning!! Amazing work, both you and Cid! Can't wait to see more of her, and perhaps... a vorish rivalry between her and Zoe in the future!
