(Unfinished) Zoey Sprites Outfit: One-Piece Swimsuit
🕑 Added 2022-01-22 23:13:39 +0000 UTCUpdate January 30 2022: Linking to the final versions of this outfit. You might want to check that one out instead; this post is only remaining up to show how much the art has improved.
I have another Zoey sprite outfit from Myumi: a woman's athletic one-piece swimsuit.
From the design document:
- This is not intended as a sexy piece of swimwear. It is meant to be an athletic woman’s swimsuit (that just happens to look sexy on Zoey).
- After jogging and gym exercise prove to be a bust for Zoey and Keisuke, the pair move onto trying swimming at the university's indoor pool. Keisuke provided the swimsuit, which he "appropriated" from the university's women's swim team's locker room (something he has access to as a member of the university's men's swim team). As it wasn't designed for a woman as curvaceous as Zoey "40-23-39/32H" Taylor, it doesn't quite fit her chest and hips.
Despite being shown here, this outfit isn't finished yet. The first 4 images (pink default, pink default loose hair, purple variant, red variant) are only for Pose 1, which I heavily edited from the base delivery. I spent over 5 hours on Pose 1 and the thigh band, but it isn't even finished as I can't fully redraw things; Pose 2 and Pose 3 haven't had any edits. They still look a bit off, but I don't have 10 extra hours to spare this update to work on sprites that aren't needed, so with the example of Pose 1 assembled in Clip Studio Paint, I've passed these instructions to Myumi:
1. The fabric texture was supposed to be a screen to lighten the lines, not a multiply to darken them. You can just copy-past the labeled layer group in Pose 1 for the other 2 poses, locking the position so the texture is identical in location.
2. Adjust the colors as needed based on the Pose 1 colors. This is especially important for the outlines, which look too harsh in pure black and need to be #311606.
3. Redo the shading on the skin for the outfit for Pose 1 at the cleavage. It's a bit too flat and doesn't match the shading style on the breasts of bra 4, which is a likely a better reference than the nude breasts.
4. The outline wasn't good on the crotches, and the skin underneath was showing a lot, so I redid the outline there, on the shoulder straps, and on the right hip, although imperfectly, so please redraw those parts for Pose 1 and the other 2 poses. If possible, please don't make the vaginal lips so prominent on Pose 1 when editing the crotch.
5. Redo the lower half of all 3 poses (from the belly button down) so that they match the edit you make to Pose 1. You gave yourself a lot of extra work by redoing that part for the poses when you didn't need to.
6. Make the nipples a bit less prominent. I learned that these types of racing swimsuits usually have lots of chest padding, so the nipple shading and highlights needs to be blurred 18 pixels with the Gaussian blur tool.
7. Replace the chest logo with the anchor logo in Pose 1 right above it (shrinking it down and editing it to look like a part of the swimsuit in the same way).
8. The skin indent on the outer edge of the left breast in Pose 1 needs to be a very tiny bit little less rounded, like the breasts fit the swimsuit better.
9. The thigh garter/belt is a bit loose and needs to squish the thigh down more, especially on the outer right side. It's okay to redraw that part of the thigh in the layer group in the outfit without redrawing the entire leg; I'll take care of making the sprite out of it.
10. The shadows of the lower hand and bottom right thigh on Pose 3 are very dark and need to be corrected to match the other poses.
Extra: If possible, could you please supply wet water drop layers for all three poses of the swimsuit and all 3 hairstyles (short, loose, and ponytail)? Name a price for the extra work and I'll pay it.
Expect them in-game Soon™ (with the exception of disappearing for several months because of COVID-19, Myumi has has faster turnarounds for art than TiltSHIFT, but I can't ever give firm, hard deadlines for either).
Also, I'd like to point out with a fair degree of pride that I have managed to fit both outfits from a dakimakura I physically own into the game.
Source is はるこん (Halcon); character is Scáthach from Fate/Grand Order.
As I said on my Twitter @CptCaption (a thing you might want to follow me on because I tend to tweet game media on there frequently and usually forget @DreamTeamDevs exists; however, you might want to turn off my retweets): Reminder that one of the best parts about making an anime visual novel is that you get to put whatever outfits of your coomer-tier anime waifus you want on your female characters
Until next time folks!

Nice to see that Scathac comparison so we know what that swimsuit is supposed to look like on someone...wait a minute, Scathac is a big girl too, no she's a big WOMAN. How did she get a school swimsuit in her size?

Looks amazing so far! Though I'm even more excited to see the scenarios where she has to use the swimsuit haha. Then in the ideas channel I've seen some suggestions for situations where Zoey would wear even more daring swimsuits. There's some good content out in the horizon!
