Fan Art Being A DIK: Fan Art

[Pillock]

My hunch is Chad is a mix of Michael 8 with Gianni 7 (it could be Michael 7, but M8 looked more natural to me, so, Gianni has to be converted; here it's 80% Gianni, 70% M8; material is all M8). Then I accentuated his "masculine" features. It was something I tested a long ago and did those render now to show you the results, but didn't bother to polish it too much, so I'm passing the ball to you since you're working on him.

I think he's G8, for two reasons.

First. I posted this a while ago, and it looks like a pretty good base for Chad's head, and it's G8.

Obviously the features need to be exaggerated, and maybe another character added to the mix. I just came across it, I wasn't doing any digging into what Chad looked like.

Second. The Back 2 school Jackets the guys wear (any G8 clothing really) don't fit G3's arms. There is a way to fit G9 clothes to G8, it's just a question of did he do something similar for G3, when at the time he started the VN, Genesis 8 was a thing anyway.

As I'm working on my Josy I'm noticing something I also ran into when I was trying to perfect Maya. I think DPC is using Genesis 3 models even with some of the Genesis 8 exclusive character assets. It really comes down to the difference in the way G3 and G8 facial expressions are rigged. I think Night Hacker's Josy has the correct skin (still working out the model)... but some of the expressions DPC uses on Maya and now Josy are simply not possible with a Genesis 8 rigged face.

Primarily this expression is what drew my attention to it:
(This is part of an in-game render from DPC, not my own.)

DPC also uses this expression with Maya. The reason why its notable, is because with a Genesis 8 character, in order to rotate the characters eyes so far up into their head half their pupil is covered, G8 also bends their brows upwards ruining the effect you see in the photo where her brows are in the position they're in when the eyes are zero'd. In the Genesis 3 model, the eyes are completely detached from the rest of the face rig and you can rotate the eyes anywhere you want without affecting the rest of their face at all. This may be the reason why people have had so much trouble figuring out facial expressions for these characters.

Very interesting. I've tried to replicate this expression to the best of my capability with my Josy's preset (by Night Hacker's notes, G8F Rumor with FW Rebekah for Victoria 8's skin, which honestly looks largely like Josy in the game). You are absolutely right that it's practically impossible to get that expression you've picked from the game right, though, because of the factors you've mentioned. That her skin is FW Rebekah's is out of the question. But if she's not Rumor and she's indeed a G3F, I suppose either of us interested enough in getting her formula right should start perhaps by looking at G3F models made by Jessaii (Rumor's artist).

I use g8 as base, but different skin.
Once I do a little update to the model, I'll share the sources and % for him.

Settings used so far:
Michael 8 skin
Nipples 100%
Michael Body 75.0%
Zander Body 100.0%
Bodybuilder 90%
Brows Arch -25.0%
Brows Height -66.0%
Cheekbones Arch Size HD 15.0%
Cheekbones Depression HD 15.0%
Cheeks Depth -15.0%
Cheeks Sink 66.0%
Cheeks Size 20%
Jaw Corner Width 20%
Jaw Define 66%
Cheeks Bones Height 25%
Face Square 15%
Michael 8 Head 23.5%
Quinton Head 50%
Vincent Head 40%
Zander Head 50%
Head Propagating Scale -1.6

I use quite a few sources atm.

Not the best approach but it is giving me the decent exaggeration atm

Well her being G3 doesn't even rule out Rumor either. One of the iterations I've already tried was successfully converting Rumor's face morph to a G3 morph. RiversoftArt has a converter that accomplishes this really quickly. I'm just not entirely convinced its Rumor because I think Night Hacker's Josy is still slightly too angular to my eyes and lacks a few eye/mouth details I at least think I'm seeing (the brain plays tricks on us sometimes and overlaying with PureRef isn't perfect because we can't know the original render's camera settings in terms of things like focal length that would change our perception of certain facial features). One of the iterations I'm currently working on blends a G3 converted Rumor face morph with the standard Victoria 7 face morph which has shown some promising developments.

This reminds of something interesting I stumbled upon the daz store yesterday.

You must be registered to see the links

SWAM re-released a Genesis 9 version of Maya's original hairstyle but completely renamed it for whatever reason. I haven't done a legit render with it yet to see if the quality is actually better but based on just iray previews I tried it looked pretty much exactly the same except for the fact they removed the color preset Maya uses and so you have to dial the right color in manually now.

Edit: Looking at the textures, they're up to 4k from 2k resolution, and the face count is up to 60,934 from 35,909 so it should render in higher quality.

It's so overused at this point that it's one of the most generic hairstyles girls have besides an undercut if they are a "bad bitch" character. And undercuts wouldn't be a problem if they were a bit different(and there are all kinds of undercut assets around), instead of using the same one all over again.

As for the Maya hair for G9, lol.
Lazy on all fronts.

EDIT: Guess it's an upgrade in the end, but renaming it is weird still.

Sending out my usual occasional ask for either ENF (embarrassed nude female, think shy, naked, covering up or implied nude), maybe relating to college dares, streaking etc. Or just some of the cute female cast doing regular things naked.

 

[Pillock]

That Vincent guy is too skinny,

I was really only just thinking about the head.

 

[Lethal Flourish]

No harm, mate. Like I said, I didn't polish him enough. Just saw you were working on him and then I remembered I once discovered (when working on my Chad and Troy pregnancy scene) that Chad wasn't (at least pure) M8. But I couldn't find my original Gianni Chad, so I assembled something fast to show you (I ended up spending more time making his jacket than on him, to be honest). In fact, I'm a lazy bastard who hopes you'll finish the job

Talking about exaggerated features, I remembered that, when I was working on Chad, I made an overexaggerated alien version called "Uber Chad from Outer Space." Another idea for a game I'll probably never do. The story goes on like this: an alien race, called Uber Chads, invades Earth to fornicate with all the women and kill or slave all the men. Our hero Tremolo must protect his girls and avoid NTR. The game ends when he dies and/or loses all his girls. The trick to winning the game is to give 'em Troy so they forget about the girls and take him to their planet to clone him and be happily ever after. Here's the Uber Chad:

Who do you, guys, think should be the first victim of an Uber Chad?

Welp time to go bleach my eyes

 

[Joshy92]

I know I like cuck stuff but seeing Chad bang a girl wouldn't turn me on I don't think.
Magnar is the dude who should get lots of pussy. Hopefully because he's smart it will be passed down to my kids.

 

[Pillock]

Since he seems to be all the rage.
Here's my version of Chad.
Michael 20%
Quinton 60%
Vincent 100%
I then scaled the head back up.

 

[Pillock]

Oh, yeah. Of course. About the head, I was just saying that this Vincent character didn't have as much protruding features as Quinton, but they're very similar characters. I think you can reach Chad using both, but you to use or accentuate more morphs using Vincent. You were on the right track noticing there was an FW character on Chad, I just think Quinton is a more obvious choice since DPC is known to use it, and also repeatedly used those characters a lot, at least, in those that have been in the story since the beginning.

B.T.W., thanks for the Burke. I couldn't figure myself the missing ingredient that was this Theo character.

I didn't mean the Vincent character was it, just that it was a good starting point.

I agree . Magnar does need to become a cat lady

That's a good job, you made Josy look likeable even to me.
DPC should look and take points for his fashion skills.

Even tho I am not the biggest fan of the character, there should be no bias in artwork.
As for DPC and clothing, for the college setting, he does dress them good enough.
DPC prefers a more realistic approach(even Sage's ep10 date outfit is conservative), unlike Ocean that threats all his characters as super models and every scene a windy fashion runway.

Bias in artwork, ofc no. Poking fun at girls and memeing - anytime. But enough of menes, hope I'll finish the great lewd with Josy soon.

About DPC, sometimes he using the ugliest and cheap assets "my grandma bought me this" style.

Hey, if grandma bought me the ugliest sweater ever, I'd still wear it with pride.
If anything, that gives DPC characters more depth. Of course, with all things DPC, unintentionally.
