A little bit of progress, the bottles and the shaker arm are still missing.

On the bottle side, I’m not 100% sure how to model them and have everything look just right, and also prevent Z-fighting.

I’ve either got a cold, or some allergy, but I’ll try to get more done tonight.

• Picture 1: Early normal map test from the front.
• Picture 2: Same for the back.
• Picture 3: I added a handful more details and you can see the polygons.

No there is no N-gons in this picture, but I’ve used a lot of internal overlaps to cut down on polygon count, especially on the curvy “cup plate” (which I really should just normal map but whatever).

I’ll have to test if those overlaps don’t cause any issues, but at this time, I don’t see any reason why they should.

Some good work today, bottles and all the little details. Also some half-assed textures.

This project has been long overdue. I apologize in advance if roleplay and service oriented submission isn’t your thing, because the coming weeks will be very boring to you.

This is based on a photo-mockup I’ve put together last october. And yeah it’s kinda based on some coffee machine design, there is still a bunch of things to add.

I’m getting close to completion now. Right now, my goal is to have a few variants to fit a few more heads.

I got 2 (almost 3) candidates at the moment:

• The “K” version (original)
• The “N” version (more masculine)
• Possibly an M3V(s) version (not sure yet, due to the facial expression stuff)

I intent on making a few more, assuming I can get solid head references to work on.

By done I mean. “This is enough, it’s Sunday night and I’m tired.”

Which brings the total to 58 variations across 6 main styles. I’m hoping to have everything done by next weekend!

I went a little overboard, between the various eye and mouth opening options and the different color contrast parts, the “Standard” style has a total of 24 variations… that’s more than all the other styles combined 😀

One last style to do for release 🙂

I’ve added some extra seams from the hawk/falcon hood to the faceless hood to compensate a little for the lack of details and added the same alternate color patterns.

I’ve also started a more normal hood style. The objective there is to make a version that is a little less threatening than the one I initially made, a more “submissive friendly” look. The eyes are doing the job. The mouth seems a bit… odd.

I finally got something that I like. Funny enough, I used a falcon hood for reference…

I also made two extra patterns for it, because why not?

As expected (well, almost) the nose shape is proving to be a pain for the look I wanted to achieve.

I’ll try moving the hood “point” lower and lower along the nose until it looks less “wrong”.

Oh yeah covering the eyes better would be a plus too. I need more appropriate seaming too but that will come later.
