Nidhala - Some outfit stuff
🕑 Added 2021-11-24 08:43:44 +0000 UTCI know, I know, I'm supposed to be focusing on that commission list. But hear me out. I have a bit of a one track mind- if I go to bed having decided that tomorrow is going to be a working day, I can wake up and work 12, 14 hours no problem. But if I think I'm going to be getting a day off and something changes, I can't for the life of me make myself be productive. There's a lot of inertia behind my mental state, it seems.
Well today, I expected to be largely out of commission, so I didn't plan on working. Had a doctor's appointment in the morning (don't worry, nothing is wrong, just small stuff). The problem is, my sleep schedule is kinda screwed up- I go to bed in the morning. The appointment was just a few hours after when I normally go to bed, so what I did was just not go to bed. I figured there's no way I'd be able to get a decent sleep so I'd be tired and useless all day, but even though it was at entirely the wrong time for my sleep pattern I managed to get a few good hours of sleep when I got home and ended up still having decent energy most of the day. But the decision had been made, I wasn't in the headspace for proper work, so I decided to fiddle around with some 3D stuff instead.
It's still productive stuff- it looks like y'all voted to have Nidhala in this month's animation, so I took the time to update her rig a little and add in some of the better rigging methods I've learned since I made her. Should remove some of the more troublesome or tedious aspects of animating her, which will be a time saver in the upcoming animation so it sorta pays for itself! I also wasn't super fond of the clothing I had made for her, and really wanted the outfit I made for her initial ref sheet for some reason ( https://www.furaffinity.net/view/38185824/ ), so I quickly tossed that together as well. I don't know how much of it will be used in the upcoming animation, assuming it's still the winner when I close up the voting, but it's still nice to have.
So here's some shots of the outfit in a few of the permutations of it's various bits that I thought might be fun to see. Unsurprisingly, that bottomless shot is kinda mmmmm. I might have to whip up a quick something something featuring that for FA.
While I'm at it, I also tossed in something else I started fiddling with a few month's back. Being a girl who likes big powerful machines, I couldn't help but see Nidhala as a motorcycle kind of gal, so I started toying with putting together a riding outfit for her. This is as far as I got before other stuff got in the way. We might never see it go all the way to a finished outfit, but that shiny black leather is still a good look for her I think.
Anyway, that's what I did today instead of the stuff I probably should have.

When your " toys " require the use of safety apparel, things start to get somewhat interesting. :P

Flirting might be a bit much, but it would definitely give her some ideas! x3

It would be cute to see I admit! But after one or two amusing still renders I don't know what else I'd do with the outfit. Making clothes is a pretty big endeavor so I tend not to want to do it unless I've got a good excuse!

I love her in the welding apron!

I do adore her.

Honestly wouldn't be surprised seeing her working a day job at a mechanic's shop. Also wouldn't be surprised if she tried flirting with an impact drill at said shop :p

I know she’d hate it, but man I’d love to also see her in that suit from the reff sheet :P

It's just hard to shift gears! If my mind's not in it there's really not much hope for forcing it- better to spend that time elsewhere. There's definitely a bit of mad scientist going on with her I think, hah. Well thanks! Not entirely sure what I'm going to be doing for it yet, but I've got a bit of time to think on it so I'm sure I'll come up with something!

It's creepy how similar our sleep schedules and motivation inertia are xD 100% understand what you mean about having your 'look ahead' schedule, and if things don't fit into it, then it's just... Bleh. I love that you made your mechanic biker character a pink female lizard, ha. Talk about smashing those stereotypes! I think her leather apron suits her absolutely perfectly, gives a bit of a 'mad scientist' vibe with those gloves, too. Nice work, can't wait to see the animation!
