Bethany at the beach.

@MaNae and anyone else who might be interested

Well let me see, the products I used are:

Aiko 3

Aiko 3 morphs and maps

Aiko & Hiro Morph Expansion & Horn Pack

Kioki

Sarsa & Thorne's Mila

RawArt's Lizardians

MerTop from Lost Realms

Wet Hair

Universal Horn from Victoria 4.2 Creature Creator Add Ons

Anemone hair for Genesis 2 Female

The mantle and tentacles from DAZ's Octopus

The tail from the Millennium SubDragon LE (or whatever version came free with D|S once upon a time)

SubDragon Hair

Claws from the Skin Wings in V4 Creature Wings

I made the claw props for her hands and feet.

vvv (I use Daz Studio so a bunch of D|S specific Stuff) vvv

A couple of deFormers to create hip crests and add more volume to her inner thighs (standard on all my Aiko3 characters), not that much of the thighs are visible after the addition of the octo skirt.

Lots of scaling of individual body parts.

Mesh Smoothing applied to Aiko with smoothing type set to "Generic" so it will smooth Aiko's current state. Smoothing type "Base Shape Matching" works great on clothes to help maintain seams and wrinkles but can cause unwanted deformation when used on Aiko"s base figure especially to her eyes and chest.

Mesh Smoothing and SubD on most of the "Clothing" items.

On the Skin Wings, Sub Dragon, and Octopus I used the Geometry Editor Tool to select and delete unneeded geometry and then did the same to the rigging with the Joint Editor Tool.

The texture on Aiko consists of varied derivatives of von200's sugar for Lara3, exprssnimg's Zeborah for V3, RawArt's Lizardians(converted using Texture Converter 2) most of which I made for other projects, as well as a bunch of new assets just for this character.

Anything else you would like to know?

Quite stunning!

Thanks! That's what you want from a Kaiju. I mean who wants to see a movie about Meh-zilla?

Oh - so cute! I love the ears.

Thanks! Yep, 280 feet of Aww-dorable! But then it is Sherbet under that monstrous makeover so that's a given. I can't believe how much those tiny spines on her ear tips added to the whole design.

Aaaw! Cute!

Thanks! She may be too cute, it'll be a real change to come up with an image worthy of her cuteness.

So all of these figures are derived from the same base figure? Aiko is a Genesis-based figure, correct?

That's really cool! Love the variety of looks and styles.

Not all. Aiko 3 is based on V3 and Aiko 4 is based on V4.

Yep, I use Aiko 3 for most of my work.

I'll have the same as her, but with distressed vintage sprinkles on top.

Well its a new year, maybe time to post some more character wips. Where to start, how 'bout an albino goblin priestess and a pissy shoulder devil.

A typical sailor schoolgirl outfit that is a must have! Nicely done! By the way, that name Sherbet reminds me of ice cream so it makes everything doubly cute!

Thanks, her original texture color palette was reminiscent of Rainbow Sherbet, hence her name. She's named after a frozen dessert and she loves it.

A bit of workflow for coming up with a new look and outfit for my OC Sherbet.
