WIP

*Reminder that my timezone is CET. That means that if I am not posting more updates in the evening, it's probably because it's midnight or later for me 🌃 💤 (sometimes I can't sleep due to pain and insomnia, when that happens I just keep working on CC)

Today I got started on the dolls. I'm taking them one at a time alternating from 3 (now 4) lists of requests. First we have Chevre, Marshal, and Audie. It took me all day to do these, I had to do some remapping on all of them, and Chevre was giving me quite a problem in that the face area, the texture was repeating on the mesh section (shown above, biblical Chevre 😄). Try as I did to figure out how to just fix the issue, I ended up making new image textures and making it with a different item as a base. Chevre looks normal now. I hope everyone is having a nice Friday ☺️
Update (late Friday night):
Added Luna, the same 3 versions as the rest: a standing version, sitting version, and a functional toy.

Update (Saturday early afternoon):
As soon as I got up today I started working on the dolls again. Today, so far I have made Blanca, Judy, and Kyle, all 3 versions for each. Judy was added last minute today, so the image textures for the 3 dolls for this character still need to be improved.
Update (Saturday early evening):
I've made 4 more characters with the same 3 versions each: Raymond, Snake, Cherry, and Tasha. Most of these dolls have extra swatches for facial expression (see Tasha, and functional Snake above).

Update (Sunday afternoon):
I started on these again as soon as I woke up, of course. Here we have Rover, Ione, and Lobo. Ione has the wrong dress on in the preview pics, I'm fixing that. *Reminder that a few of the dolls still need their image textures improved because of when I added them to my project folder. I will do that part at the end. I hope everyone is having a lovely Sunday! 🌞🌺☕️
Update (Sunday night):
Added Tangy, Whitney, and the wisp. The wisp is a little strange-looking, I will look at it some more and see what I can do. The wisp also does not have a sitting version, because it doesn't have feet. I also got the files together for the last minute requests, and improved the image textures for the ones that still needed it.

Update (Monday afternoon):
I've been working since the morning on more dolls! (of course). So far today I have first, fixed Ione's dress. Then I made 3 versions for the Plucky doll, Punchy doll, Rosie doll, and Sasha doll (Sasha turned out so cute, I'm in love ❤️). (Characters with gigantic heads are edited a bit for the functional version, to make their heads not so big). So far, altogether we have 62 files (21 characters, 3 versions each). I still have 5 characters to go if they work properly 😁☺️🤞 Onwards, then!
Update (late Monday night):
Added Portia, which took for-ev-er, due to the need to make new image textures and remap, well, a lot of these, but for Portia, all of the spots needed to line up properly. Also the same with Lolly and the stripes, which I made next. Then I added Mitzi. There are 2 more characters that I have left to make, and I need to import the new and improved image textures for the last minute requests that I hadn't done it for yet. I am hoping to be able to post this set tomorrow.

Update (Tuesday afternoon):
Started working again over morning coffee, I fixed all of the last minute characters that still needed their image textures improved. I redid Audie to include her sunglasses. Added Joan, and Daisy Mae, these two characters do not have a sitting version. I did try it out, but it just looks very strange with their clothing. Joan and Daisy Mae are also pretty high-poly. Daisy Mae at 8453 poly, and Joan at a whopping 11165 poly, so keep that in mind if you have a lower-end or older computer. I also took another look at the Wisp character, it had no color or detail at all. I added lips and made the holes in the face black so that they weren't transparent. I also made some other little fixes here and there, just tying everything up. All files are finished for this set, there are 26 characters, and 75 total files. I'm going to get some images ready for a post, it should be up later today! ☺️💗
