So...That went about as I expected. Anyway. More finalized version of Shad, a version of Lennox wearing it(also the only full body of Lennox on here that isn't hosted by photobucket and thus looks emaciated when fuzzy), and just their great-grandfather Ludwig. Ludwig is a bit half-assed since his build was more just splicing parts of Lennox and Shad together then making the coat to match his mug, but whatever. Maybe next time I'll post Shad and Lennox not wearing 3 houses outfits.

So...yeah. Been a while. Last thing I posted about was watching Symphogear AXZ and now next season is airing. I've done a lot more things since my last post. But I think my problem is posting too much stuff at once. So, I'm going to ease into it. I've done more full body sprites and I've reworked some of the ones in my previous posts. But I'm going to skip ahead to my newest work in progress and go backwards from there, slowly. So Shad, the guy from three posts ago, I've redone his entire body from the neck down. His proportions make more sense, but that won't show too much in this. He's certainly built differently, but I digress. I'll get to that. First, I've been playing me some Three Houses. So, I threw together Shad wearing the school uniform. Kinda. I have to change the pants and shoes, those were just recolors of other things not shown here yet, but I think I did a pretty good job of it. Hubert had some good official art I saw that made it real easy to reference, even if I'd prefer the hood look that Ashe or Bernie has. The cloak was, again, taken from something else I've done, so it's not meant to look like the heads of the houses. Well, that''s all for now. Trying not to overwhelm everything. Also just realized that a lot of my older stuff on here has that horrible Photobucket watermark now. Ugh.

So I'll post this in order of when I made it...sorta. Symphogear AXZ is currently airing, so that spurred this all on. First was this. Episode 10 ended with Akatsuki Kirika using her Swan Song and ending the episode near death and bleeding from the eyes. She got better, but Kirika is my favorite character in the show, so I was concerned for her. And a masochist as I ended up spriting it. The mug itself is now out of date, but I'll get to that. Due to that, and due to me updating the full bodies of Maria and Shad that led me to want to do a full body of Kirika in Igalima. But it's a form fitting suit and I don't have a form to fit to. Till.. So I've made a full body for a base. Kirika in her underwear. The second version there is Luna, aka me reusing my Kirika stuff for Shad's daughter. So now that I had a base, I realized my old full bodies of her didn't match it anymore. Also, this is actually the third version of this. The first image there is just for comparisons sake. This is Kirika's Symphogear GX casual clothes. On Luna. I readjusted everything so it fit the full body appropriately and looked a bit more like her reference image I based it on. So when using her activation crystal, the first part that materializes is this form fitting suit. I figured it would be a good start first before I moved onto the gear itself. And these are the final versions, so far, of the Symphogear GX and AXZ versions of her suit. That third one is Luna's color scheme. This was a bit of a pain at times, but I wanted to do this for a long time. Then I did this... This was based on some Kirika fanart someone did. It doesn't match it entirely, because the image was a dynamic action pose, so I've had to infer a bit. Not as good, but whatever. The first version colorscheme is based on how it is in the fanart, the second is based on Luna's color scheme. So after all those above, I went back to update the Symphogear G casual clothes full body that I did. So, like with the GX one, the first two are the original versions I did and the second two are my updated versions. This ended up being a longer post than the other two, but the other two were pretty much just updates of older ones...most of which don't show up here anyway...but that's beside the point. Anyway, that's all from me for now. Off to lurking again.

So for context on these Maria full bodies, since May I've watched the entire Monogatari series.All roughly 35 hours of it. I was a bit taken aback by the frequency of hair style changes that occurred. Characters that started with long hair cut it off and characters with short hair grew it pretty quickly. If I play a game that lets me customize my character and lets me customize them whenever I feel like it, I do that too. Hell, the prototype version of Shad had that going on. I had six different versions with six variations of hair length and outfit attached. So I kinda moved that on to Maria. So this was the first test of it. She could pass for a boy with her hair this short. But I thought it looked a bit too neat for how I plan to have her hair cut in the rp. So... Here is Maria with her hair cut, kinda unevenly by Shad. Due to how I make these, in a bunch of layers, all I had to do for the most part was change the head and remove the long hair. I have a couple other versions that I haven't uploaded onto imgur yet, but it's pretty much the Archer install outfit and the Saber Install outfits from May with this hairstyle on it. Pretty easy to imagine I suppose. Now I have one more post before I probably go back into lurking. So let me get to that.

*cough cough* Oh god. So...much...dust.*cough cough* Okay...so I'm back. Not that I'm really active here anyway, or that anyone really replies to this thread anyway...but yeah. I've got some stuff to post. Since my last post, photobucket gave me the ultimatum to pay up or no one sees my images on third party sites. So I've made the jump to Imgur finally. So this post is going to be, mainly, new Shad related mugs since May. So, the first one here is me adding a bloody and angry version of Shad. As for the full bodies underneath it, I did some work fixing the feet a bit and fixed it on these ones, the exceptions being the new ones at the end, which is a full body version of the Shad above them and then him putting on one of his fathers old coats. That mark on his left arm is supposed to be blood seeping through from his cut in the previous full body. I'm going to make another post for some Maria stuff I've done since May then another post after that for something else.

So after none of these ended up showing up when I posted last, I'm trying a slightly different method. That being the Insert other Media button and using the link. Maybe that'll work. Right now, it seems to be showing up, but I don't know if that'll change. Okay. So the first one is just a short-hair version for an easy base. Second is normal hair. The rest are fixes of previous incarnations where I fixed the shoulder, reworked leg shading/shape, etc. It would have been more effective in all the previous ones didn't just disappear, but whatever. This is a new one and still somewhat a work in progress. I had all of the F/KLPI installs I did, but after making the full-bodies of Maria, they don't gel well with the body shape, so I remade the Saber Install...and did a full body of it. Then did a version with Maria's color scheme from the formal and coat attires above. Then did versions of the previous two without armor and adding in the shows from her Chloe von Einzbern reskin, which I've yet to update with the new changes. And this is just an edit of Daren to look like Kiritsugu Emiya, with a recolor based on some colors associated with him. Would have posted this sooner, but I'm still not even sure if any of these pictures are going to show so...That's all for now. EDIT: Of course, nothing loaded. Damn it. Okay, trying different method now. Trying them as attachments. Apparently Photobucket refuses to work on this site, at least for me.

Hmm. So, since for some reason, almost none of my previous works are loading on this page, I'll just post the one thing. So, yeah, I made a few mugs within the past few months, but barely touched any full bodies since Teapot's reply. It wasn't until Myke replied to my thread over on FEP that I got back into it. I don't mean any offense by that. It's just that Myke had provided an example with his critique that helped. I mainly focused on the following Maria full body because of your comment on anatomy. So, it's going to be hard for me to exactly list off changes made between the first version and the current one, as their was three interim versions. Actually, I'm going to post those too. Okay, so the first version is obviously the one in my previous post. I think. Like I mentioned, none of my sprites are showing up on this page. The second version I moved the stomach and hips down, made the hips more defined, moved the left elbow up, reworked the bottoms so they appear more natural, worked on the right arm, and added some new shading. Then I realized it was a mistake to move the hips, reworked the thighs, and added some more shading on the legs. Next version had me change her right hand/arm and add some more shading to the legs. Unfortunately, I left in some stray white pixels, which I later removed. Last and current version includes some more changes to the thighs, adding some definition to her inner right foot, changing the shape of her right leg and foot, changing the outline of her bottoms, stomach and thighs where it touches skin to use the darkest skin tone instead of outline, and added some more shading. It's not perfect, but I feel that I'm getting there with it. EDIT: Okay, nothing is showing up on this post for me either. Let me know if it's just on my end. Photobucket was doing maintenance right before I uploaded the last one, so perhaps it has something to do with it. EDIT 2: Okay...so for me, the only one loading is the current version, meaning the one I last uploaded. What's weird is that the the older version and one of Maria with the Archer install from the previous post loaded there too. I don't know what's going on. It's not doing that on FEP.

It's been a month, so here's an update. It's mostly a Maria post...but. I did a underwear version of my Illya full body. I've actually updated it again since I've uploaded this to my photo bucket, but I haven't uploaded that for some reason. Here is Maria's coat attire, which was based on Illyasviel's outfit. That's not new. The new part is the shoddy hat I've tossed on her. Due to a new full body portrait I did of Maria, I noticed a bit of inconsistency between Maria's arms in these full body portraits compared to her other ones. I also fixed Maria's shoulder in the swimwear version as that was really wonky too. And due to Konosuba season 2's eminent release (less then eight hour to as of this post) Maria cosplaying as Megumin! I kept Maria's old boots as compared to Megumin's. I also slightly edited my previous incarnation of Megumin's hat from my attempt at her earlier last year. All that's missing now is for me to add her cape. That's all for now. EDIT: Changed the Megumin cosplay a bit. Forgot her choker.

So, boredom kinda set in, so I did a full body of Maria utilizing the Lancer install from Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya.

I was trying to use the body of a wrestler...but yeah, it looked kinda weird. So I changed it again. Then did a bit of a lazy edit thing, which turned out a bit better than expected. Still needs work, but it's a good base to work with. So, new head on old body, new head on old outfit, and then new hood on top of that. And... I upscaled Shad's full body with no shirt to match Lennox's existing torso and miraculously it came out to the right height as the old work in progress Lennox full body. So, then I added a few things onto that. That's all for now.

So, trying an update of Lennox here. First is the old version topless. The second one is the update. Made the head a bit bigger, and used a reference of a wrestler who is Lennox' height for the body. It looks a bit odd, but I'm sorta planning on the full body as well for him, so it should look a bit better later. Suffice to say, you don't really see any of his right arm on that part because of his pecs. I think that's all for now.

Yeah. That's kinda why it's been in that state since July. I'm not too fond of the outfit, so I was originally considering him without a top on. I was trying find a wrestler as a reference, as there are quiet a few at that height and he has some wrestling experience, but couldn't find a good reference, at least at the time. When I get back from vacation and probably the hell that is last minute Thanksgiving shopping at work, I'll try again. Honestly, the way Lennox looks is kinda the main reason i always tossed out attempted full-body portraits of the Hyperions years ago. Shad's outfit I at least based on something I've seen fully. Lennox never got that. Well, sorta. His original outfit, and his look altogether, was based on trying to make Robin, the same variant used for Smash 4. But since I decided he was going to adopt a Sacaen outfit at one point, and then decided that would be his final outfit, I switched to something like he's wearing now, only with Dayan's pelt originally. I didn't want to try to sprite the pelt, so I removed it, only to still have no idea for the full body design. I think I need to think of the full design before sticking with it.

Okay, so here's the Shad related stuff now. Okay, so in order, Shad as Shirou from UBW anime, Archer install, Archer Install w/cape(alternatively a CE from F/GO), as Shirou using Archer Install, as Shirou with Archer Install w/cape, corrupted version(akin to Alice in previous posts), corrupted version wearing a Assassin mask from the Fate Series. Full body of Shad with the archer install, updated Shad's sacaen outfit in full body(dried blood from crossbow wound), same as before except beat up(rp plans for same rp as Maria all torn up), redone coat so it's not as loose and flowing, full body corrupted Shad, corrupted Shad w/mask. Slight change of pace, Shad and Maria's parents. First, Daren wearing a coat that Shad wore(hand-me down kinda thing). Second is a remake of Kelsey, who used to just be a recolor of Eliwoods mom, who was then updated to have Brunya's clothes. Instead, I took my original older Maria mug and edited. Appearance-wise, based on Tohsaka Rin from Fate/Stay Night Who could've guessed? It's not a recurring theme or anything. Since both died the year Maria was born - Daren was executed six months earlier and Kelsey died in childbirth - they are both rather young looking. But that's not all. Daren (and Shad's initial) outfit was based on Xu Shu from Dynasty Warriors, so that was my reference there. It's still a work in progress. Then there is Kelsey's full body based on a pose of an older Tohsaka Rin. A hypothetical family photo, had things not gone awry. So I've been trying to do a full body portrait of Lennox, so here he is using a pose based on Li Shuwen from Fate/Extra. One of the issues here...is that he's so tall compared to the others I've done. That was the second full body I did after my post back in July, so I haven't revisited it. I think I'm going to redo that when the opportunity presents itself. Next to that is his sword Dyrnwyn, which was based on a model for a mod for Skyrim, and just to show how big it is, Fremy is there for a height reference as she stands at five feet tall. It doesn't look as good as Igalima, the scythe from the other post. That's all for now. This post was certainly longer, but I think it had a bit less content wise. I think.

When I actually got back into anime last year, Symphogear was one of the things I saw on crunchyroll. I added to my queue, didn't watch it for a while, then decided to just watch. Within the past year I've binged watched it twice, and I've actually downloaded the three seasons of it to watch when I got on vacation next week(as I won't have internet). Thanks, I've been doing quite a bit of them lately. I think it's because otherwise I'd be making more npcs for the rp I'm in on FEP, and I've already made so many as it is. I referenced an actual skirt as apposed to the skirt she wears, so I ended up replicating the shading a tad hard. So, this next batch is mostly related to Maria, like I said before. This was me trying a new older version of her based on Medea(Lily) from Fate/Grand Order. These are based on Fate/Kaleid Liner, like several other of the Maria mugs. In order, Caster Install, Assassin Install, Prisma Sapphire, an update to my Prisma Ruby version I did before, Zwei Form, Kuro/Chloe outfit, and school outfit. I originally made these based on outfits that Illya(and Chloe), fought in. Fate/Grand Order added both of them to the game, so I ended up having to make the school outfit as that was her base form outfit. So, this is Maria in a night gown, with the second version based on a different Illya related thing, that being her flashback with Berserker when she's dying in UBW. And these are her looking like Illya(and Chloe). It doesn't look as good to me, but I really didn't put much into them anyway. And, tangentially related, My attempt at Miyu Edelfelt in her Prisma Sapphire outfit. But back on topic. More full body portraits. Night gown, night gown cover in blood, torn night gown with blood and scrapes(rp purpose), a swim suit(vaguely based on Illya's swimsuit in Hollow Ataraxia) that was mostly a base for the following portraits, Archer Install, Kuro's outfit, Kuro's outfit with binding seal. Then a Illya and Chloe version of those. But now, for an older version... I found some fan art of an older Illya, so I used that as the basis for an older Maria, including a full body. The lightning tome was based on a book I'm assuming was made to go with a Robin cosplay, I think. And I think that's it for this post. I don't think I could fit everything in this post, so my next post will have the Shad stuff plus some other things.

So, been a while. Let's see if I can remember what stuff I've made since my last post. So, updated colors for the original full bodies of Luna/Kirika, did a version with her scythe, and did an additional outfit based on Kirika's season three outfit. I had a thought that Carla, being the tomboy she is, would have had her hair cut really short at some point, so here she is. And this here is a young version of Illya next to an older version of her. This was a request I did for Lightascetic on FEP of their character from the rp there. A mug based on the Assassin of Black, Jack the Ripper, from Fate/Apocrypha and Fate/Grand Order, based on her Grand Order design. As I've been on a Fate series kick for most of the year I even cosplayed as Shirou at NYCC I made a couple versions of Alice akin to Saber Alter. That's all for the moment. I have another post planned that is about 70% Maria, 20% Shad, and 10% their parents. Maybe less on the parents one, but it's going to be a bigger looking post because...I did quite a few more full body mugs since July.

..... ..... ..... I didn't plan on making this. It just happened.

Redid my Luna casual clothes sprite a bit, as I realized the shirt she wears is so inconsistently depicted, I switched it to match her outfit as I saw it in the episode I chose for reference. FYI Luna is based on Akatsuki Kirika from Symphogear. I also made her a full body portrait. Actually, Luna and Kirika fullbody portraits. Pose is based on her reference sheet pose. I also had to actually look up a ruffled skirt since I couldn't find a good picture of her in it. So now the only person with more than a dozen mugs made that doesn't have a full body portrait is Alice. First version is the Luna variant, using purple, the second version is Akatsuki Kirika version with blond hair and actual black outfit. Could use some refinement, but I'm happy with it. She's a bit shorter than her father, but she's fifteen right here, same age as her mother is now. She's not exactly going to dwarf Shad, but she'll still grow a few inches. She's also the same height as Illya right now. I think that's all for now...but you never know with me.

New Maria outfit, thus tim re Illya's overcoat and scarf attire from F/SN. Shading needs work, but I made this right before bed, so I'll work on it after work.

So here I did some more work on his right arm. And since I can't leave well enough alone. Pants and Boots are in no way accurate, but here is Shad dressed as Archer and reskined as Archer. That's all for now.

His right arm still has some issues, but I've done some work with it. Slimmed the legs, changed the angles of his boots, completely redid his arm. Apparently leave a string of pixels hovering between his torso and left arm redid the torso. It still has issues, but I think it looks a lot better than before. EDIT: Fixed two small issues really quickly.

Okay, went back over the arm to readjust her forearm. Moved the arm up a bit and made the cuff hang a bit lower. Now it doesn't seem like it should hang lower than it actually does when her arms are at her side.

Some more work done on it, plus alt pose. I realized that the hand I added on this version of Maria was actually much lower than the hand in the F/SN attire, so I moved that arm up a bit and lowered the cuff on that side. Also lessened the shading. Added an alt pose with other arm...but I think that kinda messes up the arm a bit. Perhaps the arm over chest has her arm out more and the cuff is raised past her elbow, and the other with the arm at rest is has cuff at just over the elbow. I don't know. I wanted an alt pose, but I think that might have retroactively ruined the first one. ugh.

A fix for the arm. Shifted the hand over about ten or so pixels and redid the forearm from that angle. Also increased the size of the cuff. I'll rework the shading next time around.

Lets see. Skirt girl is ten. I don't know many ten-year olds with pronounced hips. I'd say I don't know any ten-year olds, but I'm not sure how old my cousin is now. I know the shirtless version of Shad needs work. I tried to reference one of Merc's mugs for torsos, only to find the only mug he had of a shirtless man was an emaciated looking Karel, so I couldn't get much use out of that. As for the shading...yeah. I can see that. The references I used wore similar attire, so I tried to emulate some of the folds in their clothes in the shading. I think I used Athos beard for the colors for Fremy, but it does look a little dark. I'm including a mug with some fixes in this post. One of the things with Illya's eyes is, due to the face she has white eyelashes, I kinda incorporated them...and somehow got rid of the pupil on the left eye. The only time I meant for that to happen was the demon eye versions of the right eye, as in the anime/light novel it doesn't have an pupil. The problem with Maria's left arm stems from two things. Both related to the reference for the full body. http://fairy-fencer-f.wikia.com/wiki/File:Emily.pngThis is the reference for the full body. I'd post the picture but it refuses to let me make this post. The problem with the bracelet stems from her hand, when the original sized mug was made, not matching the angle the arm was intended to be at. I'd probably be able to fix that problem easier if I just make a new hand to fit the angle. The other issue was trying to replicate the arm kept, unsuccessfully, making it seem really sharp. I could probably try it again now that I've had a full two days away from making anything, so I think I may try to work on that next. Anyway, here's an update with some fixes. New white hair, using the same shade as the Archer hair. New eyes, still with white eyelashes. That's all for now.

The comment I am referring too said this. ...shirtless Alice when? So that led one thing to another.... So. Yeah. I did it. But someone was left out. Shad and Alice both had topless mugs. Lennox had a topless mug. So his future wife(in rp) should get one too, I thought. And here she is. Fremy, aka Illya in the rp I'm in. But that prompted the next chunk of Fremy coming our way. Her head is still partially covered...which meant one thing. Uncover it. So, in normal tradition with Fremy and her variants. Regular eye, blind eye/scar(from rp), and demon eye(anime/LN version) versions. In the anime/LN, her headband conceals the scar from a broken off horn. Her horn. So, that's what that red mark on her forehead is in the demon eye versions. So, then I was lead to go to a place I didn't think I'd go. But as I just binged watched 31 episodes of Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya, with all it's fanservice scenes of Illya...I kinda felt compelled to make it. I'm a monster. So to make up for it... I updated her old mug with the new hair! Not enough? okay... I made her a full body sprite. Two different ones at that. The first one is Illya's attire from F/SN. I admit that I sorta traced some parts of it, but that was mostly just the line work. Shading I still did myself. Next is a full body of her cloaked outfit. Her outfit, and the whole impetus for that mug in the first place, was based on Emily from Fairy Fencer F. I used the Illya sprite for some aspects, but I did the new stuff by eye. And the last one is just an Illya bang/color scheme version of the first one. Oh. Right. I had this too. Just a height comparison. Not new stuff, just comparing how tall they each all. Maria is 4'3", Fremy is 5'0", and Shad is 5'5". That's all for now.
