Mondu's random fanart v 2013

[mondu_the_fat]

Posing. The head might be too large.

Honestly, her swords are way too goddamn big and get in the way of everything. The longsword is as tall as she is, and there's the scabbard.

I'm thinking of adding Myon.

Yep, the head is almost in super-deform proportions. Is she holding two swords? The one in her left hand is much thicker than the other, and I thought it was a sheath at first. I take it the objects on her left waist are two crossed sheaths? I'm unfamiliar with the character, so I'm guessing that the two swords have different widths and thicknesses? The sheath that is more or less vertical doesn't look big enough to hold the sword in her right hand. Unless it's supposed to be a bokken?

The objects at her waist are just hanging in midair. No sign of how she would have them suspended or attached.

All in all, its beginning to come together. Now we have a good idea of what you're shooting for.

[Sunshine Temple]

Very nice. I'll second Larry's comments.

It's really nice to see her coming together.

I looked at this and a sudden realization hit me:
This is what the 3d printers were invented for!

[Sunshine Temple]

Oooh very sharp.

Proportions look much better.

Did you want her frown to be so severe?

Coloring really helps tie it together.

Yep. The only problem this would have if made into a real figure would be that Myon doesn't seem to have any contact points with the rest of the figure for support. It's hard to tell from the pictures if there's contact with the back of the skirt or the shoe. Myon being semitransparent means it would have to be made out of a clear plastic, too.

Lower left picture, definitely looks to connect to the shoe at least.

Not that i have the faintest clue who/what this is...

Very nice work! Wish I had your talent.

Stupid internet connection is stupid. Also, typing my password on a tablet is like pulling teeth.

On the upside, no internet means I'm making laege headway on my new project.

Found a page of pictures of the character.
http://www.zerochan.net/Kagiyama+Hina

While her outfit varies a lot from picture to picture, there are some frequent elements. First, the skirt and top are separate pieces. Second, the skirt has petticoats and flares out from the waist, so it does not follow her body line over the hips, hind end, or legs at all.

In most of the pictures the top ends at the waist in a 6-pointed star pattern. It's hard to tell in most of them, but in at least one of the pictures, the collar has the divide into two points on the back as well as the front. In all of them, it hangs directly over her bust, instead of to the sides as you have it now. There is one picture which shows the sailor back on the collar, but the two points on the front are much longer, down to the bottom of the rib cage. In that picture, the waist of the top ends in a ruffle, with the six pointed star below it looking more like flower petals.

Yesssssss, my internet connection at home is back up.

Anyway, the figurine ref in my previous post is truer to the official artwork than most of the fanart in that link,.

Her dress doesn't have a six-pointed dress -- it's a two tone dress. And the points of the kerchief are away from the line of her body, closer to her elbows.

The skirt does flow out of the waist, though. I wanted to make it sheer and flowing, but apparently I can't run a decent cloth simulation with that costume quite yet.

This was made a couple of days ago, before lwf58's comment. I'll be changing the skirt.



There's _something_ written on her ribbons, but neither fanart nor official are has provided information on what it is.

[Sunshine Temple]

I really like her headdress.

[mondu_the_fat]

I wanted a more dnamic pose. Unfortunately, the cloth simulator doesn't play well with the ruffles. I'll have to redo the ruffles after the pose has been finalized.

stupid internet connection is stupid. rarrrrrr,,,,



There's a bit of warping in the head ribbons. Is it too noticable?
