Category: Erdi

I am feeling peevish because I cannot persuade KS hair to build head parts in CK properly so that Erdi-the-NPC does not have bald patches visible in the spots where her hair is parted.   Sadly I had gotten her completely correct on the first try but for the odd appearance of the hair– and then I saw the same issues to a lesser extent on the PC I made to model Erdi.

So, she is likely to get new hair soon. Too bad, I liked this ‘do while it lasted.

Erdi is an important person in Cyrelian’s story and she deserved some changes. I’m still fussing over her. She’s rather an unusual looking character, but very elegant once the dirt and smudging is gone…

Above is the first idea that I had for her; below is the custom texture that I’ve been working out slowly. It’s adapted from some poor terrified waifu that I deconstructed, probably one of the Bijins.  Makeup is Kai’s; the tattoo is… well, I’m not sure. It’s likely Empyrean Warpaint. The skin texture above I’m not sure about, it came packaged with BD Hoodie Schlongs, of all things.

In the below shot, you’re looking at a PC as I haven’t finished making her yet. There’s still some sculpting to do and I need to grab the makeup and paint it onto her diffuse map. I figure a palace maid probably wears a little makeup. I greatly dislike tintmasks.
