    Away to work

    By Morius,


    Moriusworks
    Well, I thought a lot of this would be necessary or not, and I agreed that’s necessary at least for me. I’m writing this to let you know that I’ll be less participative at least from the time being to try to take control of my life. Right now I’m in such a condition that I don’t have the privilege to dedicate the time I wanted on the game. I’ll be still around here enjoying your content and occasionally posting a picture or two. 
     
    Well, that’s it. You’re awesome.

    Toys, toys, toys, EVERYWERE!

    By Morius,


    Moriusworks
    Well, I finally learned how to make toys! But how?
    Well, I juggle my freetime with my passtimes and projects, apart from this game, I have some modding projects on Civilization V, Xcom2, have TTRPGs stories to write, I do blogging and I write stories... oh and study and correct students exercises and exams.
    Anyway, these couple of weeks, I was a bad boy and fell behind my internet bills, and they punished me by slowering my internet speed to a crawl. It was a bummer.
    So I used these weeks to learn to make toys! I watched this amazing tutorial:
    And had some help of some people from around here.
    The first results are these:
     
    I'm excited for what this opens up for me as a content creator!
    And, since then I made some more:
    And My newest toy so far: Smith & Wesson Model 19! Just noticed it has a whole inside the barrel, ugly stuff. Will try to fix it later.
    My newest toy is Casull and Jackal, Alucard's pistols made at request of our friend @Trapp

    Amélie Boucher

    By Morius,


    Model Showcase
    Amélie Boucher

    Disclaimer
    Of all Five-O female agents, Boucher seems to be the most popular! She’s really fun to create situations and stories, and she’s sexy too!
    Creation
    Boucher was created as an NPC for my RPG campaign “Rising Shadows”, she’s one of the agents of the Stargazer STF and also one of the mentors and most trusted allies of the main characters. To create her I based on a drawing I found on the internet to illustrate her, it was the Krav Maga Fighter, by Lordeeass. Boucher came out a bit different of the lady on the drawing, but I think it’s for the better!  
    Model and Clothes
    The model was made using Xbody morphs (well, I only use this, so no surprise here), for the hair I initially went with R9Hair375 for the loose version and I couldn’t find the one I used for her ponytail! But it’s also a beauty! 

    I love hairworks, so I went with hair268_officetail (made originally by @pervokpetr) and I tried hw007_vi363r_2c, because Boucher is one of those crazy ladies who combs her hair until it’s all straight and vertical. Vi363r’s hair is ok, but has some issues on the scalp and I returned to R9Hair375. Boucher normally dresses very formally and practical, a buttoned blouses and polo shirts always using pants or jeans.

    For training she likes to use tank tops, t-shirts and camo pants, maybe shorts.

    As for swimsuits she prefer colorful ones, and she don’t mind showing some skin!

    As for dresses she likes bright and long dresses.

    She uses comfortable but sexy underwear, she loves laced panties and bras!

    Oh, but you know she’s a spymaster? As such she can wear any clothing and dress her hair in any way or color, she has a great wig collection (she rarely dyes her hair, favoring the old art of wig usage). 
    Story
    Boucher is the daughter of a rich statesman and a Lyonese socialite. She also has two brothers, all in successful military careers. Boucher should be the personal project of her mother, Marguerite, who dreamed her daughter becoming the next Channel of the makeup industry. She hired the best makeup artists, performers and economists to teach the trade to her daughter at the same time she limited her social life, so she won't be spoiled as herself.  This made Amélie be more interested in the practical aspect of these products than in the "Fun" of It. This kept Amélie away from her femininity, and drew her closer for the more manly side of her family – the military. Her father was a proud World War II Veteran and had several war memorabilia at home and several military connections, Amélie's brothers went on military careers and she longed for that too. There was only two problems, her mother, and her sex.  
    When she concluded her formal education, to her mother dismay, she announced her plans to study on the École Militaire de Paris, along with her brother. But, on concluding the program, she discovered that her future on the French Army was on office work or as a nurse. She decided for the third path – espionage.
    The recent Direction de la Protection et de la Sécurité de la Défense (DPSD). Were desperate for new bright agents, especially female ones, who could “charm her way on Bolchevik trenches”, and dig out Soviet spies or sympathizers, and gather enemy intel behind the Iron curtain. Boucher was very welcomed.
    But even there she was under-used. Her abilities on disguises, marksmanship and hand to hand combat were wasted against students and insurgents and she began to feel disgust for her narrow-minded superiors, so when she received an invitation to work internationally and on the field for Interpol, she couldn’t be happier. Soon she went on training with Interpol’s living legend Charles Lacroix and with his patronage was successful on several missions against organized crimes on Italy and America. Lacroix thought that Boucher was ready for the next challenge – make her part of the Stargazer Task Force to infiltrate on the Japanese mafia – the Yakuza.
    It was a real challenge to mimic a Japanese girl, but she came up with a disguise of a Franco-Niponic girl, that has experience as a restaurant hostess looking for work in Japan after losing her original job in France.
    The Yakuza believed on it and hired her to be hostess of one of their clubs. There she gathered the needed intel for the Task Force, while creating important contacts and allies within the Yakuza.
    One of the was Shinto Nagano, a smart and young man who were an ascending star within the Yakuza. He was smart, fast, strong, and ruthless, and he was helping Boucher a lot on uncovering her targets from the rival families. They were felling for each other and soon her relationship became intimate. 
    This made her decide she would tell the truth to Nagano and invite him to take part of the Task Force as her chosen operative, and she did exactly that, and he was inclined to accept, having arranged a meeting with her in front of a boxing gym. He had left the Yakuza to join her beloved and bring justice against this unscrupulous company she was investigating, but when they met in the parking lot, a group of rival Yakuza came to attack them, someone had tipped them off! While she was battling the Yakuza, Nagano was shot twice by an unidentified sniper. She even tried to drive him to the hospital, but it was too late. Boucher lost her heart that day and vowed to destroy the Yakuza who killed him.
    Personality
    Boucher looks relaxed and welcoming, but in truth she has a tense and heavy aura, which activates the feeling of danger in people, as if they were in front of a predator. Her smiles doesn’t seem genuine, her conversation seems to be studied, and she seems to be all the time struggling against a surge of rage. That’s because she was a lot more temperamental than she is now, but she is trying to quench her explosive demeanor since she joined the STF. With Nagano’s death, she grew more aloof and distant. All these personalities traits seems to vanish when she is in one of her disguises. She become a whole new person physically and mentally.
    Appearance: Boucher is a woman of simple beauty, she has light brown eyes and bright blond hair. She uses neutral makeup and keeps her hair tight in a ponytail. These traits allow her to radically change her looks with makeup, wigs and other disguise methods, she can be any person she wants. 
    Trivia
    -           Boucher never engaged on sexual activities when on a mission, but she almost lost her job because of a sexual scandal she was involved at Interpol with a coworker, which she was romantically involved but him not so much.
    -          She was also romantically involved with Shinto Nagano, a Yakuza member who died in a boxing gym parking lot in front of her.
    -          Her body and face are covered and small discreet freckles, as a disguise master, she can hide them effectively using makeup.
    -          She’s not a big fan of pop culture, her favorite movie genre is romantic comedy, musicals and drama, but she learned to enjoy fantasy and some lcarroons thanks to her nephew, Maurice.
    -          She’s the middle sister and both her brothers are married and have children. She’s the only single of the trio.
    -          She’s aloof with her family, but gets well with his younger brother, her uncle, the son and the wife of her older brother.
    -          She is only twelve year older than her favorite nephew! She’s younger than her elder brother’s wife!
    -          Her favorite hobbies are photography, makeup, wig-making, and shooting.
    -          She’s a specialist knife-fighter, being deadly with a blade in her hand. She’s an expert markswoman, being her favorite firearm the FR-F2 sniper rifle and the Glock 20 handgun. She’s also an accomplished hand-to-hand combatant, specialized in kicks. Her weak point is grappling, but she can deliver a powerful german suplex.
    -          Although she was already in many battles, she tries her best to heal and rest properly after them, to avoid having distinctive scars – not having distinctive marks is crucial for her line of work, she thinks.

    The Stargazer Special Task Force. AKA - "The Five-O"

    By Morius,


    Group Presentation
    Stargazer Special Task Force
    INTERPOL launched at August 21, 1986, the Stargazer Task Force, headed by Head of Criminal Investigation Charles Lacroix to investigate a Food and Chemical mega conglomerate named Star Foods, that’s investigated by, but not limited to: violence crimes, murder, criminal conspiracy, traffic and production of drugs, crimes against humanity and political corruption. Agent Lacroix was investigating the conglomerate since its creation in the 70’s, and the Task force was a personal victory for him.
    Lacroix based the Task Force on Japan because Star Foods it’s originally from there. The Task Force Members are:
    Charles Lacroix

    Full Name: Charles Paul Lacroix
    Function: Head of Criminal Investigation, Head of Stargazer Task Force
    Birthdate and Age: May 15, 1925 – 64 years old.
    Height and Weight: 1,91m. 89kg.
    Homeland: Calais, France
    Current Status: Active.
    Head of Criminal Investigation Charles Lacroix is head of the operation. He is a natural leader and knows how to mediate all the problems and needs of the operation.  His cold, calm demeanor leaves the impression he has all on his control, at the same time he can be very blunt and pragmatic – but he deals with the situations and bad prognostics as if he already thought on a solution to them. He studies the challenges in all their spectrums, with minute attention to detail. With his agents he is cordial and emanates trust, but at the same time his agents feel on edge, as if all his politeness could fade if them let him down.
    Lacroix has double nationality, being French and British. He took part as spy for the Allies against Nazi Germany on the Second World War and since then was a decorated MI6 agent with an impressive and fearsome reputation. He left MI6 to join INTERPOL in the hopes to have more freedom on some personal line of investigations. He was always taken as a difficult person to deal with, but someone who delivered whatever he took the interest to engage. He also worked as a consultor and trainer for several other government agencies, like MI6, DRSD and CIA and trained many successful agents. Currently he is focused on his personal project- The Stargazer Special Task Force.
    Amélie Boucher

    Full Name: Amélie Gourlez Boucher
    Function: Detective Inspector
    Birthdate and Age: June 22, 1957 – 32 years old.
    Height and Weight: 1,72m. 61kg.
    Homeland: Lyon, France
    Current Status: Active.
    Detective Inspector of Interpol, agent Boucher is responsible for the operation research and espionage. She’s intelligent and efficient on her tasks, likes to be ahead of her opponents and hates to be surprised. Known as a hothead and sort of a sore loser. She’s expert markswoman being trained with all NATO and Warsaw pact Firearms, she’s also expert on hand-to-hand combat, but she’s deadly with knives of all sizes. She’s also specialized on disguises and infiltration. People call her a spymaster, becasue of her infiltration tactics, her mastery in disguise and for the fact she successfully and almost single-handely took down the Madalona mobsters from Colonna, Italy by just infiltrating them and turning each one against the other.
    Gyuri Gunwoo

    Full Name: Gyuri Gunwoo
    Function: Senior Superintedent
    Birthdate and Age:August 08, 1953 – 36 years old.
    Height and Weight: 1,58m. 49kg.
    Homeland: Seoul, South Korea
    Current Status: Active.
    Senior Superintedent of Interpol, she’s responsible for laboratorial and coroner investigation, medical procedures, and infirmary.
    Gunwoo looks shy and don’t engage other people, but this is just because she doesn’t like to engage in meanless conversations. That doesn’t mean she isn’t interesting, far from it, her scientific curiosity and deep knowledge of seamless everything make engaging in conversations with her unforgettable and even mindblowing. She also knows greatly of the supernatural and doesn’t think this goes against her scientifical acumen. For her, science and the supernatural go together, because the supernatural is only nature still unknown or not fully comprehended. She’s also the “psychic activated person”, meaning she has and yields supernatural powers like curative powers and minor telekinesis. Disillusioned with her work in the South Korean police force, she was dismissed after reporting mistreatment of border migrants, but her stellar CV caught the eye of Charles Lacroix, who asked her to take part in his personal project, along with Boucher and Yunuen. She joked that they were the “Charles Angels” it stuck.
    Hyiata Mamoru

    Full Name: Hyiata Mamoru
    Function: Communications Specialist
    Birthdate and Age: July 16, 1961 – 28 years old.
    Height and Weight: 1,70m. 79kg.
    Homeland: Saitama, Japan
    Current Status: Active.
    Mamoru is the Communications Specialist from the operations, responsible for Intelligence and Databank. He created the nickname “Five-O” to the operation, because the original team of agents where only five, and he loves to watch Hawaii Five-O.
    Mamoru is talkative, braggart, and full of himself, he seems to always be joking, and likes to talk about things with of personal interest or of no relevance on the topics at hand, but he a genius at computing and information gathering, being vital to the operation. Apart from appearances, he takes his job very seriously and it’s eager to prove himself to his peers, specially in the field. He's also a accomplished boxer, who could easely have a successfull professional career at the sport, but he do what he loves. His eagerness to solve crimes and braggart nature lead him to  make a mistake that made him very unpopular at the force, he unwittingly accused a police officer of corruption when he discovered the officer's links to the Yakuza. It turned out that this was known to the superintendent, who was forced to dismiss the officer and lose his Yakuza contacts. Since then he was shuned and avoided in the force. As Lacroix was forced to accept Japanese agents to carry out his operation in Japan, the troublemaker genius who was left to rot caught his eye. Mamoru has now the difficult task to impress and earn thet trust of Lacroix, and at the same time repent for his mistake.
    Shinji Tanaka

    Full Name: Shinji Tanaka
    Function: Detective Inspector
    Birthdate and Age: September 24, 1959 – 30 years old.
    Height and Weight: 1,80m. 82kg.
    Homeland: Yokohama, Japan
    Current Status: Active.
    Detective Inspector of Interpol, Tanaka is responsible for logistics and training. He’s tall, strong and handsome and possesses a calm and complacent behavior, preferring to listen before speaking – his words are well thought and relevant. He’s specialized on hand-to-hand combat, being highly trained at Judo, Jiujitsu and Muay Thai. He has an exemplar CV on Yokohama Metropolitan Force and also a Jiu Jistu champion, being good at both. He's a married man, but few know that because he's very discreet about his personal life. As it happened with Mamoru, Tanaka wasn't chosen by Charles Lacroix, instead, him and Mamoru where selected by the Japanese Interpol headquarters to integrate the operation.
    Yunuen Trembley Perez

    Full Name: Yunuen Trembley Perez
    Function: Detective Inspector
    Birthdate and Age: December 16, 1963 – 26 years old.
    Height and Weight: 1,68m. 56kg.
    Homeland: Totonicapán, Guatemala
    Current Status: Active.
    Detective Inspector of Interpol responsible for reconnaissance and Field logistics. Practical and silent, the young beauty has five nationalities, Canadian, French, Guatemalan, English and Spanish. Her five nationalities, superb surviving skills, location, and espionage rendered many successful missions for Interpol in a short time. She had this obsession with a particular case involving human traficking ans prostitution that was overlooked by Canadian Interpol, just because the disapearing girls were "of no consequence". Agiant her superior orders, she investigated the case by herself and almost died when she received no backup when it was needed. She was strongly convinced to give up her job, but all that changed when Lacroix adopted her as one of his pupils. She’s a very difficult person to work with since she always seems to be in a very bad mood.
     
    Those are the original Stargazer Special Task Force, or just the original “Five-O” as the nickname stuck. They didn’t have any groundbreaking advance against Star Foods for over a year, for many reasons, they were forced to play at least to some extent “by the book” by Interpol, and Star has many key elements of the police force, judges, politicians, and criminals on their pockets allowing them to thwart the force efforts or to stay ahead in the game.
    This prompted Charles Lacroix to be creative and adopt a new stratagem using talented people who weren’t connected by any means with any governmental or criminal organization. The agents started to search for civil operatives to aid the Task Force where they couldn’t reach.
    Those operatives will begin their service at the operation on the begining of 1989, where the story truly begins (hence the current age of the agents are relative to 1989). I’ll present to you them later!

    So, Serena Dermin...

    By Morius,


    Model story
    So, Serena Dermindottir - Dermin for short. She is one of my first female RPG characters I've ever played with. Her inspiration came from Red Sonja, but she quickly diverged from the inspiration and became something entirely unique (at least for me and my friends!) She is also my muse and I often find myself posing with her in the game.
    She has long ondulated red hair, big expressive green eyes, pale skin, a bit sunburnt and with discreet freckles on her face. She has an athletic, strong body, but also slim. She is tall, measuring 1,79m - one curiosity about her is that her body signs only on her left side, because of an anomaly on her birth. 

    Personality wise - She is a closed person, it's not easy to approach her, she can be intimidating, she as the appearance of a girl, but she behaves like a growling wildcat. But when you can pass through that, she can be very warm and friendly. She has a strong quick temper, yet, she likes to learn new things and is very curious. It's hard for her to shake off first impressions and formed opinions, though. She will never acknowledge any kind of superiority of any men, women or culture. For her everyone is equal, everyone can laugh, fart and die.  She has a peculiar, and maybe scatologic sense of humor, loving farting jokes, she can be very goofy too when she is among friends or with people she likes. Unlike Red Sonja, she loves sex, althought she is yet to fully discover herself on that matter.

    She hails from the Spine of the world, the northernmost lands known by men in the Forgotten Realms Campaign setting. She is an Uthgardt barbarian and has 3 living brothers. 
    She wanted to be a warrior, just like her two eldest brothers, but the idea of a warrior woman was scolded by her tribe since the chieftain exiled all the warrior women from the tribe.
     She then secretly trained with her brother and took part of male games, then finally, exiled herself to join the warrior women - The Warriors of the Northstar. 

    The Warriors of the Northstar are a group of warrior women guided by the battle-fury Gwynharwyf, the entity who protects the borderlands of the domain of the moon goddess Selune.
     
    As an trained but unproved Warrior of the Northstar she heard about her brother's death and went to the civilization to avenge him. On her adventures, she managed to avenge her brother and bring him back to life and become a famous adventurer and the Champion of the Northstar.
    The pictures below are her at the beginning of her quest for vengeance, with her battle paint on her face (a black for pointed star), showing her Langes Messer, her favorite sword (in form of a moon) and is using her first armor. She still hasn't any scar on her body.  
    UPDATE: I uploaded her model! You can check her out HERE!
     


  7. Morius
    So recently I had to reinstall all the game again I think everyone has been there before. You modify your game so much that some unidentified error happens and you have to go with a fresh install.

    This happened with me this week, and when that happens I take my time to remove things I'm not using anymore, duplicate things and obsolete things. I also try to use something new that will change the game somehow and stick with it until the game breaks. This time I tried the 4x skins, and now I'm enloved with it. Thanks @Codename-74 for that!

    Now I'm slowly recreating my models with 4x skin, and the first one is Serena Dermin, my second oldest character and arguably my favorite!

    Now about her - I wrote something for her in an older post.

    She is a member of the Uthgardt Barbarians from the Great Worm Tribe that dwels at the Spine of the World, the northernmost land of the Continent of Faerun.

    She is the daughter of Klaus Derminson and Muiren Dermin.

    Her father was a Northlander viking from the Moonshae Islands with fiery red hair and green eyes, he was marooned with his father near Great Worm hunting grounds. At first they fought each other, but then they made peace, and joined the tribe. There, Klaus Derminson met Murien Alteirn, a Sorceress and Warrior of "Elder Blood" with ravenlike black hair and blue eyes. They joined together and made a family of four surviving children. Dounir - the elder and a warrior, Beladas - the hunter and the most knowledgeable, Leif the younger and the bard, and their only daughter - Serena.
    At the Picture, Serena with her brothers, Leif (beside her), Dounir (in front of her) and Beladas (in front of Leif)
    Klaus gave her only daughter the name "Serena" because he knew a woman named like that on the distant southern land of Amn, and it meant "Tranqulity, calmness" and that's what he wanted for his daughter. he would be disappointed.

    Early on her life, Serena's life was almost claimed from a disease that took her two other borthers - Culmin and Kant. She had only 5 years when she fell ill. Everyone thought she would not survive, but for the suprise of all she did - it was the first sign of her indomitable spirit.

    After that she began to live her life in the fullest, doing everything her brothers did. With Dounir she learned to fight and defend herself, with Beladas she learned the ways of hunting and surviving in the wilds, she was so talented on these "manly" crafts, she was the tutor of his brother.

    She was used to play with the boys, not the girls - and the boys had an ellaborate game of hunting, hiding, fighting and taking "territories". At first, no one wanted her on the team, so she went on these games alone and did so well they started to call her: "Snow Lioness" (and also started to fight to have her on their teams!)

    As she grew, she started to be involved more on her tribe's politics, that's because she didn't know why there where so few female warriors on her tribe, but the chieftain herself, Gweshen Oathsworn, daughter of the former chieftain Bardawulf Oathsworn, was a warrior. She discovered that the tribe had indeed a band of warriors called "The Warriors of Gwynharwyf" or "The Warrior of the Northern Star". Gwynharwyf was a celestial being and a follower of Selune, one of the most revered gods among the tribe. The entity is the patron and protector of the people who lives on the fringes of the world. The Warriors of Gwynharwyf where banished from the tribe because her leader, Elenira, had an affair with the former chieftain Bardawulf, father and the chieftain's daughter - Gweshen - kenw that her father cheated her mother, and hated The Warriors of the Northern Star because of that. So much so that, when Gweshen became the chieftain, she banished the female warriors just to punish Elenira, it was one of the few errors the new chieftain did.

    Serena discussed against this with Gweshen, but that was no use. She then tracked down the Warriors of Gwynharwyf and, after a test of courage and blood, she joined them. Because of that, she was banished from her tribe and ousted from home by her father.

    She decided to not become a burden for the Warriors of Gwynharwyf, who lived in a dire situation, and tried to live by herself. It was not a good idea, because it was the beggining of the unforgiving winter, and she would perish, if it was not for the help of her brothers, her mother and some friends from the tribe and from the female warriors.

    Had survived the winter (and conquered the infamous cave-of-the-lake, who lived a fearsome bear), she managed to live well alone, resumed and intensified her training with the female warriors and secretly with her brothers.

    Then, her oldest brother went looking for fame and glory to civilization. But after a year, a stranger came back, his name was Brian and he claimed to be Dounir's friend. He told that Dounir was killed by an evil warlord in the "civilised" world.

    Klaus demanded that Beladas went with Brian to avenge his brother, but Serena managed to sneak up at night and convinced Brian to take her instead.

    So, like that, the adventures of Serena Dermin began.

    Here's the 4x face of Serena. She has a nasty scar under her left eye - She lost the entire eye (along with half her face) fightining against a mighty White Dragon, but her Dwarf friend Olm Kuerg, who fought alongside her managed to heal her - only this scar survived.
    You can't see them all here, but Serena has many big birth marks only on her left side!
    Here we can see at least two other scars she gained along her life of adventures.
    The blouse is a mod I  did Summer Breeze dress, this dress has morphs that allow you to turn the dress into a blouse, but part of the dress keep appearing even so. This does not happens with this mod. If anyone is interested, I will share.
    Serena loves to climb! She is a very skilled climber and she loves to challenge herself to climb higher and steeper mountains with the least help possible of equipment. One curiosity: She hates cold! Ironic, because she hails from one of the coldest places of her world!

    Oh! I have her shared as a model. And I have this new 4x skin for her. I don't want to ruin the fun of those stuck on 1x, 2x skins, so I odn't know how I make the update: New upload? Alternate download? Leave it, it's not worth? A little help here?

    Interview with a Necromancer

    By Morius,


    Model Story
    - What's your full name?
    - Names are powerfull, suffice yourself to call me Lawrenne Lycanther.
    - What's your age?
    - My age? you don't ask that question to a woman, you impudent scoundrel.*
    - Why Kelemvorites call you "The Heretic"?
    - My fellow Kelemvorites don't understand that Kelemvor, as the new god of the dead, is also the god of the undead. His shuning to the unlife it's because the way undead are normally made, without the consent of the former owners. Servants of Jergal, the scriber of the underworld, already raised the dead by agreeing with the corpses former owners the permission to do so, I'm merely copying this practice. The fact that Kelemvor didn't take away my powers is proof that I'm right, and my fellow clergy are not.
    - Hm, so you make an agreement to the former corpses owners, meaning the souls of the dead, to use their corpses, right?
    - That's correct.
    - These three er.. zombies, were risen like that?
    - Yes.
    - Don't you think using them as a throne is, like, abusing the contract?
    - Pft, uneducated bard. They agreed to have me as their master, so nothing I do is an abuse of contract, but maybe an abuse of my Jailor's will.
    - Jailor?
    - Yes, Kelemvor.
    - I see, Are you prisioner of Myrkulites cultists right now, is this correct?
    - Temporarily, yes.
    - You plan to escape? What they want from you?
    - As you know, I was a former Myrkulite myself, and a powerfull one on that. With Myrkul's demise by the hands of Kelemvor, I was besieged by Kelemvorites paladins. To survive, I pledged loyalty to Kelemvor, at first to buy time and betray them, but then I started to grasp that the new Lord of the Dead is more of my liking, more predictable and orderly, you know? Anyway, I was recently slain and these Myrkulites took hold of my corpse and raised me, for me, once again, serve their dead deity, Mirkul. They don't know, but I noticed Kelemvor didn't abandoned me, so I'm raising an army of undead under their noses. The fools think it's the will of Myrkul and they completely trust me now. I'll use this army to slay each and every one of them, turn their corpses to ashes, so they can't easely come back again. These deranged lunatics have no place on this plane anymore. Let be me the one who sent them to their dead master.
    - Wow, intense! Do you dabble in arcane arts too? 
    - Dabble? You simpleton, I master the arcane arts!
    - Apologies, but this would not explain how you raise the dead? Maybe you use your arcane arts to bypass Kelemvor's will to not proliferate the undead?
    - How dare you, abject rodent! Do you want to test it? I can slay you with my arcane arts and speak with your soul through Kelemvor and bargain your comeback after your corpse serve me, how about that you oaf?
    - I'm deeply sorry! Please don't kill me.
    - Grovel.
    - Please, please, don't kill me! I'm deeply sorry to ever doubt your faith.
    - Kiss my boots.
    (This guild judged that our member's ordeal is not usefull to this interview. Suffice to say, dear reader, that our member survived the Herectic gauntlet and returned - broken and weak willed, but returned to report his experience.)
    *Note from the editor: as she was infamous to be a cleric of Myrkull - the former god of the dead - way before the Age of Troubles, we calculate she has about 84 years old!

    Model Showcase
    Mari Azai
     
    Creation
    Mari is my main character of my TRPG campaign "Rising Shadows", she's one of the civilian operatives of the Stargazer STF. She's a fighter, a musician and a rebel, but also a capable member of the Task Force with her quick wits and surprising investigation capabilities! To create her I was inspired by some pictures on the internet, but she turned out unique. Funny thing she also turned out a bit like the cosplayer Yaya Han!  
     
    Model and Clothes
    The model was made using Xbody morphs, she's always changing her hairstyle, but she has favorites, like R9Hair 067 and 015CR Chair her hair loose I use Custom Hair G.U.Y. but I also use Hairworks a long wavy will do.
    For clothing, she likes to wear jeans or crazier pants and simple t-shirts, also chains and leather jackets. She's kind of a nomad, so it's common to see her with a backpack. She never parts from her walkman, she says she thinks better, fights better and f*cks better when listening good songs.

    When the occasion arrives, she also wears "fancy clothes" like buttoned blouses and sunglasses. She likes the "badass detective" look.

    For training she likes to wear tops and shorts.

    For fancy parties and events, she likes bright dresses.

    As for undewear, she likes cutie lingerie, pink with laces, or personalized, some she made cutting punk-rock bands logos and stitichng on normal bras or panties.

    Finally swimsuits. She like skimpy ones.

    Story

    Mariana Bittencourt Azai da Cruz, best known as Mari "Bee" Azai has a Brazilian father that never recognized her as daughter and a Japanese mother who kept avoiding her. She lived her childhood in her biologic father’s beach house in Guarapari, Espírito Santo. She was raised by the housekeepers that worked as her parents and Family, so much so that her birth certificate has the housekeepers last name (da Cruz).
    One day she fled Brazil to try to find her biologic mother in Japan, the encounter was nothing as she expected, because her mother turned her down. With nowhere to go, she lived on the streets of Nagoya with a gang of Japanese punks.
    Her adolescence was marked by delinquency, drugs and sex. Inevitably she was arrested and deported to Brazil.
    Her biological father took care of her, hiring her as secretary for the Brazilian consulate in Nagoya, this period she lived practically on house arrest, from work to her apartment, as she was behaving, her father allowed more freedom for her, at this period she started to train Karate in her mother’s dojo. There she found her true passion: fight. Her mother’s unique style were called "Hitotsu no Shinjitsu Ryu" (something like “First Truth Style”) and her training methods were warlike and ruthless.
    One day her mother’s dojo caught on fire and she disappeared from Earth. Since then, Mari quit her job at the consulate and is searching for her mother. She started to train on a martial arts gym called Oichi Dojo, where she made several new friends, including a boyfriend, but a mysterious message made her travel to Kobe to “rescue a doll” in the hopes that this could lead to her finding her mother. There she battled a haunted doll auxiliated by Charlotte, the living doll which she should rescue. Right after that she was recruited by INTERPOL as a civilian operative of the Stagazer Special Task Force.
    Family

    Mari knows her biological father, who is called Tomás Bittencourt. He is married with a woman and has a family that has nothing to do with her and her biological mother.  Tomás family don’t know nothing about Mari and her true mother. Tomás himself tries hard to ignore Mari’s existence. Mari saw her father’s family only once in the airport and her father eldest son was her boss at the consulate. She kept her father’s secret, because she also tries hard to not having nothing to do with him.  
    She has adopted parents, the housekeepers from the Beach House in Brazil. They are Waldemar da Cruz and Auxiliadora da Cruz. She has three adopted brothers, Jurema da Cruz, Walderson da Cruz and Cristina da Cruz. They loved her very much, but she felt she was treated differently, like they somehow feared to be too harsh with her.
    When she was arrested in Japan it was her father who managed to extradite her to Brazil, when she was 15. He tried to attach more with her, but when she escaped from him again, he decided to forget her for good.  
    Her biological mother is Azai Ichika, a misterious woman who claims to be “a Shadow Warrior” and she was a sensei of a decrepit dojo whose sole student was Mari. Mari suspects the dojo was only a front for something else, since her mother didn’t have any students prior to her.
    Personality

    Mari main characteristic it’s her extrovert personality, her playfulness, her endless curiosity and has a very warm demeanor. She made many mistakes on her childhood and adolescence and tries hard to make up for them. She has a childish behavior, but she’s far from it, having a keen streetwise and quick wits. She can be very scandalous because she says what she thinks and feels often than not, and she doesn’t care for morals, meaning status, rank and hierarchy means nothing to her. She will speak with the Emperor of Japan as she speaks with a junkie in the alleyway, although she’s very attentive, and will not harmfully embarrass a friend or behave in a way that can harm herself. She appreciates truth in all things – at the same time she’s very loyal and can take a friend’s secret to the grave.

    Well, I have some bad habit to post small visual stories in the galleries. The last one was "The Head Hunter" featuring Fahtma Fahiri.
    Althought they are stories, they don't follow the classical comic format, like the amazing work of @Oz70NYC. But I think they are visual novels, how about you?
    They are more like the works of @ArtsAndCrafty and others, pictures that may have or may have not written content on the pic or on the description.
    Of course, my work is far as ellaborate as both of them, but I think I can add them as comic, maybe after some polishing. There is even the plus that I can switch between SFW and NSFW. What do you think?

    Some "storylines" that I added on the galleries:

     

    The Head Hunter (Finished)

    Passing Rite (ongoing)

    Night Bath, Bloody Bath (ongoing)


    Windy 1st bad guy (finished, but needs polish)

    Father and Daughter (I would LOVE to work more on this storyline!)

    "La Malegna" Vendetta (there is some prototype on the gallery, but it is a full story!)

    The Bust (short ongoing story)

    Target Practice (Finished)

    Cornered(Finished)

    Bee Woman (finished)

    Bitchin' Night (finished)

    Ok! Here's the second part of the tutorial no one asked for! (granted, one person asked for it, but I think it was only a coutesy 😜. Thanks anyway! There's the result!)
    Ok! Lá vai a parte 02 do tutorial que ninguém pediu! (Mentira, uma pessoa perguntou, mas acho que foi só para puxar conversa 😜. Valeu de qualquer forma, tá aí o resultado!)

    Part one we chose a base skin texture to modify, made a copy of it on a customized folder and changed it's hue/saturation to match our needs. Now We'll make more personalizations to it!
    Na parte 01 nós escolhemos uma textura base para modificar, fizemos uma cópia dela e colamos numa pasta que criamos e mudamos a matiz/saturação dela para atender nossas necessidades. Agora faremos personalizações extras nelas!

     
    Step 5: Doing further modifications. For extra modifications, like tattoos, birthmarks, imperfections, scars, etc we need a new set of tools on the image manipulator program, but first of, make sure your modfications aren't in the skin layer! create a new layer to make your personalizations!

    Passo 5: Fazendo mais modificações. Para modificações extras, como tatuagens, marcas de nascença, cicatrizes, etc, precisamos usar mais ferramentas no programa de manipulação de imagens, mas primeiro, tenha certeza que suas modificações não sejam feitas na mesma camada da pele! Crie uma nova camada para fazer suas personalizações!

    To do that go to the layer's tab... Para fazer isso, vá para a aba "Camadas"...
    And create a new layer clicking the "create a new layer" button, that's represented with a "+" sign:

    ... e crie uma nova camada clicando no botão "Criar nova camada" que está representada por um sinal de "+":
    That in the yellow box is Portuguese for: Create a new layer"
    Just click on it and we have our new layer and can begin with the customization!
    Apenas clique nele e temos nossa nova camada e podemos começar a customização!

    5.1: Now, Mari has many body markings, among them birth signs, some scars and tats. I recommend to create a layer for each characteristic, you can also double click in the layer's name to rename it. I'll rename "Camada 2" with "Moles01", those are some of the moles markings she have.
    5.1: Mari possui muitas marcas na pele, entre elas marcas de nascença, algumas cicatrizes e tatuagens. Recomendo criar uma camada para cada característica, você também pode clicar duas vezes no nome da camada e alterá-la. Vou renomear a camada 2 para fazer as pintinhas que a Mari tem.

    Then, I'm using the brush tool to make the moles. Moles can be made as simple as just some darker spots on the skin or as complex as embossed ones. I'll make some "complex" moles now:
     

    Então, eu uso a ferramenta pincel para fazer as pintas. Pintas podem ser tão simples como apenas uma mancha escurinha, ou tão complexa como uma entalhada. Vou fazer algumas entalhadas agora:
    I used the brush on the size 4 and with 30-70% opacity, and drew this mole. 

    Eu usei pincel de tamanho 4 com variação de 30 a 70% de opacidade e desenhei as pintas.
    Then I double clicked the mole layer the window "Layer's Style" pops up the first option is the only one you need to use: Bevel & Emboss. Change deepness, size, suavization and angle until you are satisfied with the result. Now you can just copy and past this mole on other parts of the body! You may also turn them, make them bigger and smaller by hitting Ctrl+T. Each copy can be individually changed their embosses by double clicking their layers. All that and you just needed to create one!

    Simpler moles can be made just by drawing spots on the skin (using their own layers! Don't forget that!)
     
    Então cliquei duas vezes na camada das pintas e a janela "Estilo de Camada" apareceu. A primeira opção é a única que você realmente precisa para fazer as pintas: Chanfro e Entalhe. Mude a profundidade, tamanho, suavização e ângulo até ficar satisfeito com a aparência das suas pintinhas. Feita a primeira, você agora só precisa copiar a camada e colar em qualquer outro lugar do corpo que quiser!  Você também pode virá-las, fazer elas menores ou maiores e deforma=las apertando Ctrl+T. Cada cópia pode ser individualmente customizada no chanfro e entalhe clicando duas vezes nela. Tudo isso apenas criando uma!

    Pintas mais simples podem ser feitas simplesmente fazendo pontos na pele (mas use as camadas próprias para isso! Não se esqueça!)

    After a lot of moles (I like moles!) this is the result:


    Depos de várias pintinhas (eu gosto delas!) aí está o resultado acima:

    I also added some on her feet and hands. Beware when customizing the hands and feet! The right and left feet and hands share the same texture, so they'll be the same, only backwards!

    Eu também adicionei algumas nos pés e nas mãos. Tome cuidado ao customizar essas parte, pois as mãos e pés direitos usam a mesma texturas dos esquerdos, sendo que de trás para frente!

    For her "Café-Au-Lait" marking, I'm using a different tool - the lasso.
    The lasso is a tool that creates a selection in the image you are manipulating. In my case, I'm selection this patch of skin to make a Café-au-lait "Coast of California" Style. Made the selection I copy and paste it, creating a form that, for now, it's invisible. Click on the new layer holding Ctrl, this will make the layer's content to become selected again. Still with the selection on, I  activate the hue/saturation button and made the marking darker than her normal skin. Make sure you have the selection! If not the whole texture will change the color!

    Para a mancha café com leite que a Mari tem, vamos precisar de outra ferramenta, o lasso.

    O laço é uma ferramenta que cria uma seleção na imagem manipulada. No meu caso, eu estou selecionando um pedaço de pele na forma da manhca no estilo "Costa da California" . Feita a seleção, eu copio e colo ela, criando uma nova camada com a forma selecionada. Clique na nova camada enquanto segura Ctrl e você seleciona todo conteúdo dela novamente. Ainda com o trecho selecionado, ativo a matiz/saturação novamente. Dessa forma, apenas a seleção vai ter a cor alterada. Se não houver a seleção, tudo vai ter a cor alterada! então cuidado!
     
    And that's the result! "Some people think it's ugly, but I don't care, my boyfriend loves it! It itches a bit.... NO I'm kidding! It doesnt! It doesn't! 🤣" - Mari
    E esse é o resultado! "Algumas pessoas acham feio, mas eu não me importo, meu namorado ama!. Coça às vezes... Não, tô brincando! Coça não, coça não! 🤣" - Mari.

    That's was all her birthmarks, now I'll make her scars. As a amateur fighter and private investigator working for INTERPOL, she had been in many scuffles and firefights, if not for the incredible services of doctor Gunwoo, she would have far more scars than what she does now. Let's make them! On part 03, because I'm tired now...

    Essas foram todas as marcas de nascença. Agora vão as cicatrizes. Como lutadora amadora e investigadora privada trabalhando para a INTERPOL, ela já se envolveu em muitas brigas e tiroteios. Se não fosse pelos incríveis serviços da Dra. Gunwoo, ela teria bem mais cicatrizes do que tem agora. Vamos fazê-las! Na parte 03 porque já estou cansado...

    The Haunted Dolls
    So far as she remembers of the beginning of her new life, Charlotte and his brother, Victor, are imprisoned in an old house filled with thin labyrinthine corridors, dead end attics, basements of impenetrable darkness, doors that are walled or stuck in the worst moments, macabre toys, dripping blood, dust, and mold – and they can’t escape, because that house is their prison, and Annya is their jailor.

    Annya is a cruel doll, full of malevolent aura. She has as only goal torment Charlotte’s life and try to kill Victor. Annya says Charlotte betrayed “daddy” after him trust her with his secrets and Victor poisoned her mind against “daddy”.
    No one visited the mansion so, for a long time, Charlotte was tormented and tortured by Annya and Victor had to remain hidden, because the few times he tried to leave was almost killed by Annya.
    The Research
    On his investigations about Star Foods, Charles Lacroix stumbled with a little curiosity about dolls created by a former employee of the company, someone only known as Puppetmaster. Such tiny thing would be normally overlooked, but not by someone so obsessed to put down Star foods as Lacroix. Digging deeper, he found out that these dolls are claimed to have mystical powers and even being alive! With the aid of Agent Gunwoo, who is expert in the supernatural world, they found out that there’s an abandoned house in Kobe where it’s humored to have some of these dolls. Lacroix decided to pay a visit himself at this house and acquire these dolls to further investigate this. But he was not the first to find out about this house...

    Nagoya
    In Nagoya, there is a Martial Arts Gym called Dojo Oichi, there are no masters in it and fees are very cheap, this created a perfect place for undesirables train there, like half-japanese or foreign people. At this place, a Brazillian half-japanese girl called Mari Azai trained there with her closest friends called “Oichi’s Top 6”.

    Mari recently lost her mother on a fire in her mother’s dojo, where she formerly. But she never believed her mother passed away on the fire, that she instead chose to disappear for yet unknown reasons.
    One day, Mari received a strange note on her tiny flat. The note only said: “If you want to find your mother, find first the doll” With an address of an old, abandoned house in Kobe. Thirsty for any clues about her mother’s whereabouts she travelled to Kobe immediately, without warning her friends.
    Chersey Mansion
    One day, Annya warns Charlotte that they have visitors, and she should wait on the basement and testify her killing them all.
    Mari arrived at the Chersey Mansion after she enters, she finds three bandits afraid of climbing down to the basement because of strange noises and smells. Mari talks with them, and They say they came to grab some dolls for a mysterious benefactor, she dupes them saying she will get the dolls for them They believe and let her climb down.
    Meanwhile Charlotte saw helplessly a strange woman with strange clothes and strange hair dress climbing down the stairs. To her surprise the woman shows no fear and goes straight to her asking: “Are you the doll I need to take?” Charlotte tries to warn the stranger she’s in peril, but it’s too late, Annya strikes.

    She notices that the woman knows how to defend herself but fearing that’s not enough she asks her three times for the woman to become her servant, desperately trying to get rid of the malign doll that attacks her she agrees. That way a contract is bound between them and Charlotte gains full control of her body and helps Mari against Annya.

    Charlotte and Mari fight against Annya, but it looks like there’s no way to defeat her, because Every time she’s close to be defeated, she disappears inside the walls and reappears completely restored! Even scape is not an option, because basement’s door is closed shut! They agree they must defeat Annya once and for all.

    With a combination of their efforts, Mari and Charlotte finally defeat Annya, that becomes a common doll, the evil inside her seeping away screaming and cursing helplessly.

    The bandits outside are encouraged by the sudden drop of malign aura in the house climb down the stairs Only to find the doll they needed broken. They agree that Mari should pay with her life. But Charlotte and Mari take short work on them.

    Mari and Charlotte flee from the house together, Mari looking for the closest payphone while Charlotte wanting that she goes to the hospital to threat her wounds.

    On the payphone they stumble with Charles Lacroix, who explains who he is, being very cordial to Charlotte and hostile with Mari.

    He tries to make become Charlotte’s new servant, using a studied methodology for the bounding ritual, but Charlotte refuses saying Mari is already her servant. Lacroix then tries to persuade Mari to give up the bound, but she refuses.

    With no alternative, Lacroix agrees to have Mari alongside Charlotte. Invites them to enter the car where he explains everything about Stargazer Strike Force and it’s goals. Mari and Charlotte agree to take part of it.

    Charles Lacroix at first didn't trust Mari, and tried to convince her to relinquish her responsabilities with Charlotte. This way she could be dismissed. But Mari has strong motivations to be there with them, and refused. Soon enough she will prove herself unvaluable to the operation.

    Malena "La Maligna" Garcia

    By Morius,


    Character story
    Malena "Malegna" Garcia is the daughter of Raul Garcia, a once famous Mexican boxer who was known for his stellar winning streak, including beating Balrog early in the American's career. But from then on, Raúl "Raio" Garcia's career was sinking, while Balrog's was taking off. To halt the decline in his performance, he started using doping, and was caught and expelled from the association. He hung up his gloves, married Maria Guadalupe Hernandez and had a daughter, Malena Hernandez Garcia. The boxing culture was very strong and the dishonor of the father, added to the fact that Malena was an awkward and pudgy girl, made her the victim of much bullying.

    The father only drank and lived in the past, so the mother asked Sylvia, for help, who promptly accepted the girl as one of her students. Sylvia is an afro-american karate master who teaches in the US, but was in Mexico promoting her martial arts and philosophy at the time. She teaches the use of strength to build equality and prosperity for the needy and to use it only in self-defense. Until then Malena had no interest in anything, but she fell in love with Karate and made it her goal in life. She transformed herself, her large and ungainly body became athletic and powerful, her fat became muscle, and her disinterest became pure focus.
    Dedicated, she was Sylvia's biggest recruiter. But then her father got a job in the criminal world. This tormented Malena, as she could not employ Sylvia's philosophy on her father and created a schism between the two of them, they were only at home to fight. And what's worse, her father's boss, a certain "El Gringo" treated him very badly, sending him to the most dangerous and humiliating tasks - and he never showed his face.

    Then the unthinkable happened, his father became wanted by the police - murder. He swore to his wife and daughter that it wasn't him, that he was framed, but he had already lost the family's trust at this point. Malena devoted herself to training to forget him. Until Raúl, still a fugitive, Raúl shows up at her mother's house when Malena is there. He said that everything would work out, that he would finally meet the "patrón", that he would come to dinner, solve all his problems and even promote him.
    The "patrón" arrives, it was Balrog - and all the misery in Raul's life was fomented by him, as revenge for having been defeated in his youth.
    Raul, angry, challenged him, everything that Balrog wanted. He accepts and wins. He arrests him and sends his henchmen to slaughter his wife and daughter while he watches. Malena defended herself, and how she did! But there were too many of them and she didn't really have any fighting practice, so she ended up losing and being deadly beaten in front of her father, just like her mother. Then Balrog killed her father. Malena survived.
    That turned a switch in Malena's mind. Sylvia was a fraud, the system doesn't work. Only if you fight you can do what is right, and she was supposed to kill "El Gringo".  

    Malena decided to follow her own path of violence without Sylvia, although she agrees with her ideals, she does not agree with her methods. She learned of one of Sylvia's students' death by the hands of "El Gringo" drug cartel, which, to her, only corroborates how wrong Sylvia is. Malena "Maligna" Gárcia, as she is now known on the circuit, is feared for being ruthless and merciless. Her punches and counter punches are feared. She is infamous for her "Hungry Ghost Punch (Golpe de fantasma hambriento)" and "Revenge's Flaming Fist (Puño de venganza en llamas)" and her intense hatred for the drug cartel and "El Gringo"
    Her warpath of revenge led her to join forces with an covert operation to topple this drug cartel, she ended up finishing even Mrganka's tyrant, and beating Balrog to a pulp with her bare hands. But in the trail of revenge, Sylvia died when Balrog kidnapped her. She had a choice, lose the fight against Balrog and save Sylvia's life, or get her revenge and lose Syilvia. She chose revenge.

    I loved converting this object to the game! The walkman is like Mari's trademark, she is always with one, but the game didn't have it. So I needed to have one.
    Sexvision gave me one, but just the body part, I needed to complete it, so I did this! 

    Althought it's lots of fun for me to play with it, I'm not sure it's ready for upload, it need a few adjustments, like another headphone opened wide enough to fit the head of the models. 


    The object have 9 parts already, it's quite complex for one object, but this allows you to move chose if yoou will use the cables or not in the scene, ope or close the lid of the walkman or even change the cassetes. The tape is a custom made Shonen Knife Burning Farm, because is Mari's favorite band, and there was no Shonen Knife cassetes.  

    9 parts may be an overkill, and it is. I did a foam object apart from the headphones, and that it's not very usefull, so I'll join them. The cables are clunky to use, because they don't have weight, meaning they don't move. They are just for stills and specific positions or angles.

    Another advantage is, like many cars objects, if you place the axis in the same position with each part, the walkman assembled perfectly, like in the image (except the tap, the tape stays in the walkman). 

    The walkman's body, lid and headphones are fun to use, the top cables too - there are many ways to use them to simulate a full cable.

    Well, I'll keep working on it, maybe learn some new tricks to improve it and make a upload with several tapes! 

    Stay tuned, and Let's Knife!

    Hojo Akemi

    By Morius,


    Character story
    Hojo Akemi


    Hojo Akemi is a handsome young samurai, with a notorious effeminate appearance. His martial prowess and beauty dazzles his opponents, be them men or women. He is a great swordsman, being considered one of the fastest in Japan. He was a samurai of the once powerful Odawara Hojo clan. He was married with a foreign woman that adopted the name Hojo Kazumi. Akemi and his wife vanished at the Odawara castle earthquake, but he resurfaced long after rescue parties had given up finding other survivors. He was nursed to health by his wife’s page Mako, who also survived the earthquake. His wife didn’t have the same luck and died at the tragedy. After his reappearance, he renewed his loyalty vows to the Shogunate and to the Okubo family, the lords of castle Odawara, from whom he directly served.

    The Shogun accepted him back but also made him renew his vow to be the last Hojo, his children, if any, would be repatriated to other clans. “Your clan must die with you, Hojo-san.” Said the Shogun.

    After his comeback, he was changed. Rumors said that he wasn’t completely alive anymore, becoming sort of a gaki* or yurei**. He didn’t take public baths anymore, didn’t drink, have no visitors on late hours and didn’t take concubines for himself. These eccentricities could be easily explained for his loss of his beloved wife in the earthquake, but his reputation as a fearsome swordsman and his loyalty to the shogun kept these rumors at bay. Unknown to all, is that Hojo Akemi in fact have a secret that only him and his page know, a secret that’s far from the wildest guess anyone can make and, if he revealed, could utterly destroy the young samurai's life.

    Hojo Akemi has many hobbies, one of them is the art of the Omnyodo***, and his wife had her own gift of magic and charms from her own land that amused him greatly. Today he incorporated his mystical abilities into his fighting style, only enhancing the idea that he is in fact, a spirit.

    His main goal is a very strange one, to give power, position and influence to Mako. The little girl of minor birth that survived the earthquake and nursed him to health. He doesn’t desire nothing else, just that this girl to be safe and comfortable, even after his death and vowed that this will happen.

    There’s a problem though, when the earthquake hit the castle it also killed Akemi’s lord, who was found of him. His new lord despise him, finding him “decrepit, obscene and lazy”, and desired to kill him, but the Shogun forbade him on doing this. His new lord conformed in restricting Akemi even more to the confines of the castle, which made the young samurai even more gloomy and bitter. Akemi avoided even more public places, trained swordplay exhaustively and embraced occultism and foreign arts and sciences. His only company was his page, Mako.

    It was thought that Hojo Akemi would live the rest of his days in a gilded cage, making that fact and fiction of his legend weaved together, many even doubted his existence! But one day the Shogunate ordered him on an important secret mission and since then, there are no official information on his whereabouts, only whispered stories of "3 tempests" washing away evil on the easter coast of the Sea of Japan. They say that Hojo Akemi is one of the tempests, the one stories call the “Raijin’s Envy”****.

    What happened with Hojo Akemi? What’s the secret mission he was sent to? Who are the 3 tempests? Was he successful? What is his secret? I’ll try to tell this in another time.

    *Hungry spirit

    **Ghost

    ***Traditional Japanese Astrology.

    **** Raijin is the Thunder God of Shintoism.
    Height: 1,77m
    Weight: 68kg
    Age: 27

    Trivia

    - Has preference for Iaijutsu – ending his duels in one strike. But he is a well rounded and unorthodox kenjutsu master.

    - When he fight, it’s possible to hear a eerie flute playing classic dutch songs, like Concerto Armonici, Variations sur Mein junges Leben, Variations on Est-ce Mars, etc.

    - Enjoys foreing arts and music. An interest that only increased because his late wife, Kazumi.

    - Akemi has independent control over the movement of his eyes, he uses this trick to spook friends and colleagues – specially Mako. This trick has a cost, Akemi is slightly dyslexic.

    - Gradually in his travels with the other two tempests and Mako, Akemi is demonstrating more disposition to informality, showing a portion of his side which gave him the fame to be an “indolent and rebel samurai” that he had before his marriage.

    Now let's talk about tattoos! 

    In this part, I'll show three different ways on making tattoos for your model and how to add them!
    Agora vamos falar de tatuagens!
    Nessa parte, vou mostrar três formas diferentes para fazer tatuagens para seu modelo e como colocar neles!
    I'll begin with Mari's first tattoo: When she run away from her country, in 1977, she joined in a gang of punks in Nagoya, Japan. She soon fell in love with the punk movement, and along with it, their ideologies, like Anarchism and Communism. Her first tattoo reflects that: It depicts a working gueixa murdering her patron overlord, he bleeds demons, showing his true nature of explorer of the people. At the same time, she sets herself free.  I've find a nice tatoo depicting that made in an anonymous men's leg by the artist Silly Jane it's perfect for Mari's half-sleeve tattoo!
    Vou começar pela primeira tatuagem de Mari: Quando ela fugiu de seu país, em 1977, ela se juntou a uma gangue de punks em Nagoya, Japão. Ela rapidamente caiu de amores pelo movimento punk e suas ideologias, como o Anarquismo e o Comunismo. Sua primeira tatuagem reflete isso: Mostra uma gueixa assassinando com suas próprias mãos seu senhor. Ele sangrea demônios, mostrando sua verdadeira natureza de explorador do povo. Ao mesmo tempo ela se liberta. Eu achei uma ótima tatuagem dessa cena, feita na perna de um homem anônimo pela artista Silly Jane. É perfeito para a tatuagem half-sleeve da Mari!

    This image is very usefull for what I want to do because it's very clear, and in a relativelly flat surface. Let's open it in Photoshop!
    Essa imagem é muito útil para o que eu quero, porque ela é bem clara e posta numa superfície relativamente plana. Vamos abri-la no Photoshop!

    First thing you need to do is transform the image into a layer, so we can drag it to our skin later. To do this is simple, go to the layer tab. Instead of a layer, you'll see that the image is labeled as "Background" and with a padlock simbol next to it. Click on the padlock and drag it to the trash can on the bottom of the pannel. Here you go! now you have the image as a layer!
    Primeira coisa que você precisa fazer é tranformar a imagem em uma camada, assim podemos arrastá-la para nossa textura de pele depois. Para fazer isso é simples, vá para a aba camada. No lugar de uma camada, você verá que a imagem é chamada de "Plano de Fundo" e com um símbolo de cadeado ao seu lado. Clique e arraste o cadeado até a lata de lixa no fundo do painel. Tá aí! Agora você tem a imagem como uma camada!


    Now we need to remove from the image the elements we don't want, like the wall on the background, the shorts fabric and the skin surface that's not covered by the tattoo. To do this, we'll need a series of tools. Let's begin with out lasso. Try to roughly select the tattoo, leaving out most of the other undesirale elements you can: 
    Agora precisamos remover da imagem os elementos que não queremos, como a parede no fundo, o tecido do short e a superfície de pele não coberta pela tattoo. Para fazer isso, usaremos uma séria de ferramentas. Vamos começar pelo lasso. Tente fazer uma seleção aproximada da tatuagem, deixando o máximo de outros elementos indesejados de fora:

    The selection should look more or less like this:
    A seleção vai ficar mais ou menos assim:

    Now you must  click on the "Select" tab on the command tab and select "Invert" function, this will invert the selection. Now everything EXCEPT the tatoo is selected. 
    Now press delete and you should have this result!
    Agora você deve colocar na aba "Selecionar" na aba de comandos e selecionar "Inverter", isso irá inverter a seleção. Agora tudo EXCETO a tatoo está selecionado. 
    nullAgora pressione delete e você deve obter esse resultado!

    It's almost done already! But not yet. Now I want to remove all traces of the original skin (at least the most I can) to add the tat to our model's skin. To do that we need some other tools to help us: We already have the lasso, and it could be very helpfull for this fine-tuning, but there also the magi wand:


    The Magic Wand (W) automatically makes a selection of the image that's have the same color, on the image's example, I pressed on top of the hand of the gueixa, and it selected a patch of skin that's have the same color range. 
     
    You can increase or decrease the tolerance so the magic wand selects more or less of the target color range. But be carefull not to select parts of the drawing! When satisfied, delete the selection. 

    A Varinha Mágica (W) seleciona  automaticamente parte da imagem que tem a mesma cor. No exemplo, eu cliquei com ela acima da mão da gueixa, e ela selecionou uma parte da pele com mesmo alcance de cor. 
    Você pode aumentar ou diminuir a tolerância na qual a varinha mágica seleciona mais ou menos da cor selecionada. Mas tenha cuidado para não selecionar partes do desenho! Quando satisfeito, delete a seleção. 
     

    Next tool is the magnetic lasso - The magnetic lasso also makes selections and it works like this: Like the lasso, you click on where you want to begin, then you just hover with the mouse along the lines of the drawing, the magnetic lasso will automatically try to select the intended area that the mouse is hovering, but following next to the target color. Sometimes you need to click once to make a "waypoint" that the magnetic lasso must cross. Magnetic lasso can be usefull to make fine adjustments of small areas, but use it carefully. Remember, you can allays redo your steps (Ctrl + Z).
    Próxima ferramenta é o lasso magnético - O lasso magnético também cria seleções e funciona assim: Como o lasso, você clica onde você quer ocmeçar, então apenas paire o mouse junto das linhas do desenho, o lasso magnético vai altomaticamente tentar selecionar a area intencionada qua o mouse pairou, mas seguindo próximo da car alvo. às vezes é necessário clicar no caminho para fazer uma "marca" que o lasso magnético precisa cruzar. Lasso magnético pode ser útil para fazer ajustes pequenos de áreas pequenas, mas use com cuidado. Lembre-se que ovcê sempre pode desfazer e refazer seus passos (Ctrl +Z).
    Finally we have the eraser, just click and drag with it on the part you want erased!
    Finalmente nós temos a borracha! É um ferramenta bem simples, apenas clique e arraste na parte em que você quer apagada e pronto! 

    With all these tools it's possible to remove everything we don't need of the image. It's long and boring work, it'll take some time.
    Com todas essas ferramentas, é possível remover tudo que não será necessário da imagem. É um trabalho longo e chato, vai levar algum tempo. 
    Still there? Look how it's now!  Ainda aí? Olha o resultado!


    Now let's tranfer the finished work to our skin texture! just drag the layer to the skin texture window. 
    Agora vamos transferir a tattoo terminada para a textura de pele! Apenas arraste a o trabalho para a janela da textura de pele.

    To drag just use the move tool (highlighted in the screenshot). Now, I want it to be a shoulder/half sleeve tattoo on Mari, it will be on her right shoulder (where the red circle is). The image should be upside down for this. Let's do this!
    Para arrastar apenas use a ferramenta mover (exposta na captura de tela). Agora eu quero que ela seja uma tatuagem de ombro/half-sleeve na Mari, será no seu ombro direito (onde o círculo vermelho está). A imagem deveria estar  de cabeça para baixo para isso. Vamos fazer!
     Select the tattoo layer and press Ctrl+T
    Selecione a camada da tattoo e pressione Ctrl +T

    Go to the Edit tab on the command tabs, choose "Tranformation" or something like that and then "turn horizontaly"
    Vá para a aba editar nas abas de comando, escolha Transformação e então "virar horizontalmente".
    null
    It's done! Now we just need to adjust in the desired place, shrinking and turning the image using the guides shown when you press Ctrl+T. At first is a guesswork. Place where you think it will be right, save on .png only and don't close the image editor and test ingame, if it's not good yet, try again untill you get it right. When it's right, save the .pds too! If there are some colors imperfectioons, just use the guidelines from saturation manipulation found on the part one on the tattoo.
    Está pronto! Agora nós precisamos ajustar no lugar desejado, diminuindo e virando a imagem usando as guias que aparecem quando pressionamos Ctrl+T. No começo é um trabalho de adivinhação. Coloque onde ovcê acha que ficará certo. Neste ponto salve em .png apenas e não feche o editor de imagens. Se não estiver bom, tente novamente até acertar. Quando estiver bom salve em .pds também! Se houverem algumas imperfeições de cor, apenas use o guia de manipulação de satruração e tom encontrados na parte um na tatutagem!.


    The final result. O resultado final.

    Fair warning: I've placed this first tattoo on the right arm, but it's not going all the way behind the arm, as you can see. You may notice a fine line on the arm, this is where te texture parts ends and connects with the other end. To place a image occupying this border can be very tricky, not to say maddening. I tried to do this, but gave up because it would take too long for this tutorial, the same can be said for full back tattoos, but I promise I'll do an "advanced" tutorial with guidelines on how to make these difficult feats.

    Aviso: Eu coloquei a primeira tatuagem no braço, mas ele não encobre todo ele, como podem ver. Podem notar uma discreta linha que no braço, ela é onde a textura da pele termina e se conecta com outra parte. Colocar uma imagem ocupando essa parte é muito complicado. Eu tentei fazer, mas estava tomando tempo demais para este tutorial, então desisti. Temos dificuldade semelhante para tatuagens completas de costas. Mas eu prometo que farei um "tutorial avançado" cobrindo essas partes complicadas. 
     
    The second type of tattoo is the self-made one, the one you do from scratch; well, it can be any image really, but it requires some artistic skills. 
    Mari's second tattoo is her personal symbol that she made when she knew her genetic mother better and trained karate with her. The tatto in itself is an stilyzed "M" based on the Nagoya seal. She just added another Maru Ni Hachi and inverted it, creating an "M". 
    To do this tattoo was no easy feat. The easy part was doing the drawing. I drawed the circle in photoshop, copied the Maru Ni Hachi twice, inverted one and added them in the circle, voilà. Sorry for lacking better explanation, but it's not the scope of this tutorial, my goal here it's just to show how to prepare images and place them on your model textures. 
     
    O segundo tipo de tatuagem foi uma feita do zero, não precisa ser uma tatuagem, mas requer habilidades artísticas. 
    A segunda tatuagem de Mari é seu símbolo pessoal que ela fez quando conheceu sua mãe biológica melhor e começou a treinar Karatê com ela. A tattoo em sí é um "M" estilizado baseado no Símbolo de Nagoya.  Ela apenas adicionou um segundo Maru Ni Hachi e o inverteu, criando um "M". 
    Para fazer essa tatuagem não foi um feito fácil. A parte fácil foi fazer o desenho. Eu desenhei o círculo no photoshop, copiei o Maru ?Ni Hachi e o colei duas vezes, invertendo o segundo, os colocando nessa forma de "M" no círculo, voilà.
    Me desculpem, mas o tutorial é apenas para preparar e colocar imagens nas texturas de corpo do modelo para customizá-los, ensinar a desenhar e todos os truques do photoshoop está fora do escopo deste tutorial.
    The hard part was placing the tattoo:
    To place the back of the neck tattoo, you need to place the images on the red circle. You read rigt THE IMAGES.
    A parte difícil foi colocar a tattoo.
    Para colocar a tatuagem nas costas da nuca, você deve colocar as imagens nos círculos vermelhos. Voccê leu certo, AS IMAGENS. 

    The back of the neck works like the back, they are split between the borders of the texture and connects with the other border, so you need to place two images of the tattoo on the circle, one of them must be inverted (Edit - Tranformation - Horizontal Tranformation, remember?). I recommend working with one image at a time, so when you are satisfied with one half, you go work on the other. This process may take time and requires both the game and the image editor to be open simultaneously, but don't you worry. I'll show all the tricks I know on the advanced image placing tutorial as I promised! 
    As costas da nuca funcionam como as costas, ela é dividida entre as bordas da textura e se conectam no jogo com a outra borda. Então você precisa colocar as duas bordas one está indicado no círculo e uma delas precisa ser invertida horizontalmente (Editar - Transformação - Transformação Horizontal, lembra?). Eu reocmendo trabalhar primeiro com uma delas até ela ficar perfeita, depois alinhe a outra de acordo.  Este processo pode tomar algum tempo e requer que tanto o jogo quanto o editor de imagens estejam abertos ao mesmo tempo, mas não se preocupe. Vou mostrar todos os truques que eu sei no próximo tutorial de colocação de imagens avançadas como eu prometi!

    At the end I had to slightly flatten and distort the images and put them in the right angle. This is the final result!
    No final, eu tive que achatar as imagens de leve e distorce-las e coloca-las nos angulos ceros. Este é o resultado final!

     
    Now, the nex type of tattoo - they are simple and small images placed on simple places of the body texture. Like the moles, they don't require much work, shall we?
    After Mari went back from Pakistan, she as really shocked by all the violence she lived there, and specially saddened by her bullet scars. So she decided to hide them with tattoos! 
    The tattoos she chosen where the Peace and Love Symbol, and the a Bee (it's her "spirit animal"); So I chose these two images:
    Agora o próximo tipo de tatuagem - elas são simples e pequenas imagens colocadas no corpo, muito parecido como as pintas e cicatrizes que fizemos. Eslas não requerem muito trabalho, vamos lá?
    Depois de Mari voltar od Paquistão, ela ficou realmente chocada com toda a violência que ela testemunhou lá, e ficou especialmente triste com as cicatrizes que os ferimentos de bala deixaram. Então ela decidiu escondê-las ocm tatuagens. As tatuagens foram um símbolo de paz e amor, uma abelha (o animal espiritual dela), então eu escolhi essas duas imagens:


    At this point you already know how to prepare harder images than those and add them on the body texture.
    Neste ponto você já sabe como preparar imagens mais difíceis que essas e adicioná-las a textura de corpo. 

    Well, only some tattoos are left to finish Mari's tats, The piece lilies on her right flank and the Doll of secrets on her left side of the back. One interesting tool I missed to show you is this:
    Bem apenas mais algumas tatuagens sobraram para terminar as tattoos de Mari, os Lírios da paz no seu flanco direito e a Boneca dos segredos nas costas esquerdas dela. Uma ferramenta interessante que eu esqueci de mostrar, é a ferramenta borrar. Ótima para "amaciar" as partes mais pixeladas de uma imagem:

    It's the smudge tool. It's great to soften some sharpened edges of some images.
    Chose the smudge and pass it over the sharpened edges you want to soften.
    (More about the Smudge Tool here!)
    Escolha e ferramenta borrar e passe ela nas bordas para suavizar a imagem. 
    (Mais sobre a feramenta borrar em Inglês aqui!)

    Before                    Antes                                                                                                              After    Depois
    Don't forget to save everything in different layers and in .psd!!
    Não se esqueaça de salvar tudo em diferentes camadas e em .psd!!
    And here we are! Mari with all her tats!
    E aqui está! Mari com todas suas tats!

    You may notice that some details disappeared. There's no hints of the scars behind the tattoos, and that's unrealistic. No problem! next tutorial It's the advanced skin texture customization! There, I'll show how to place advanced images (specially the images on the borders of the textures) and how to make normalmaps (So the scars will become more noticeable even behind the tattoos!!)
    This is my first tutorial and I would love to read some criticism on how to improve it. Thanks guys! 
    Vocês podem ter notado que alguns detalhes desapareceram. As cicatrizes de bala sequer aparecem, e isso é não realista. Sem problema! Próximo tutorial será sobre tecnicas avançadas de personalização de textura, isso inclui colocação avançada de imagens (especialmente na borda da textura) e como fazer normalmaps (assim as cicatrizes irão ser notadas mesmo com as tatuagens em cima!)
    Este é meu primeiro tutorial aqui, e eu amaria ler críticas em ocmo eu poasso melhorar. Obrigado!

    Ok, this is what I’m doing right now.  I’m creating some 4x skin textures for my models, so I’ll share the process. WARNING – It’s nothing close to professional work, but it should do for people who haven’t a clue on how to make properly, as myself. Extra Warning: It takes some time, so it's not easy magic too, I suspect there are easier ways, but this is the way I do since ages ago, and I'm used to it.
    Did I say I’m creating 4x textures? What if you want 2x? And what all these X’s mean?
    Ok, Let me explain quickly, the game is set in a standard texture size that maybe too small to some details you may want your model to have. To fix that it was created a mod that makes the game accept bigger, more detailed textures – twice the size of the original and four times the size of the original. In my experience, 4x textures are too demanding on the machine, go for them only if you plan to use one or two models, or if your PC has at least 32gb of ram (or you have a lot of patience with crashes). Twice the size is already good enough and currently I’m using them for multiple characters in the same scene.  
    1x Sizes are: 
    Body: 512x1024 pixels
    Feet: 256x256 pixels
    Genital: 256x512 pixels
    Hand: 256x256 pixels
    Head: 512x512 pixels
    2x sizes are:
    Body: 1024x2048 pixels
    Feet: 512x512 pixels
    Genital: 512x1024 pixels
    Hand: 512x512 pixels
    Head: 1024x1024 pixels
    4x sizes are:
    Body: 2048x4096 pixels
    Feet: 1024x1024 pixels
    Genital: 512x1024 pixels
    Hand: 1024x1024 pixels
    Head: 2048x2048 pixels
    You can do the resizes in any photo manipulating program, like Photoshop or GIMP. Just go to the tab "Image", then "Size of the Image"

    PT-BR:  Ok, esse é um tutorial sobre como fazer texturas para suas modelos. Estou criando texturas 4x para as minhas, então vou compartilhar o processo. AVISO - Não tá nem perto de trabalho profissional, mas serve para pessoas que, como eu, não tem ideia de como fazer apropriadamente. AVISO EXTRA: Leva certo tempo, não é mágica. Eu suspeito que existam formas mais fáceis de se fazer, mas esta é a forma que eu faço há tempos, e estou acostumado assim.
    Eu disse que estou criando texturas 4x? E se você quiser 2x? E o que esses X todos significam? 
    Ok, Deixe me explicar rapidão, o jogo é padronizado no tamanho padrão de textura, que pode ser muito pequeno para alguns detalhes que você queira que seu modelo tenha.  Para corrigir isso, foi criado um mod do jogo que aceita texturas maiores e mais detalhadas - o dobro do original e o quádruplo do original. Na minha experiência, texturas 4x são muito pesadas para a máquina, vá com elas apenas se você planeja usar um ou dois modelos, ou se seu PC tem 32GB de ram ou mais (ou se você é muito paciente com crashs)  2x já é bom o bastante para o uso de múltiplos personagens, e é o que tenho usado para esse tipo de cena.   
    Tamanhos 1x são: 
    Corpo: 512x1024 pixels
    Pés: 256x256 pixels
    Genitais: 256x512 pixels
    Mãos: 256x256 pixels
    Cabeça: 512x512 pixels
    Tamanhos 2x são:
    Corpo: 1024x2048 pixels
    Pés: 512x512 pixels
    Genitais: 512x1024 pixels
    Mãos: 512x512 pixels
    Cabeça: 1024x1024 pixels
    Tamanhos 4x são:
    Corpo: 2048x4096 pixels

    This tutorial is more for you to personalize an already existing skin texture than making one from scratch.

    I'm making a 4x skin for Mari Azai, she already have some skin textures, but it's 1x quality.

    PT-BR: Este tutorial é para você personalizar uma skin que já exista, e não para fazer uma do zero.

    Eu esotu fazendo a versão 4x da Mari Azai, ela já possui texturas, mas são qualidade 1x.
     
    First Step:  You must choose a base skin for your model.  PT-BR: Passo 1: Você deve escolher uma skin base para sua modelo.
     
    For Mari, I've chosen AM [Skin Female] [4X] SkinnyBody - I prefer this one because it's blander than the others, for me it's a plus because I can add the particularities, I want for it.

    PT-BR: Para Mari eu ecolhi AM [Skin Female] [4X] SkinnyBody - eu prefiro essa porque possui menos detalhes que outras, para mim é um bônus, porque eu posso adicionar as particularidades que eu quero.

    Second Step: Open your favorite Image Manipulation Program. One very good and free it's GIMP.  I use Photoshop, but it's no matter.
    Passo 2: Abra seu programa de manipulação de imagem favorito. Um muito bom e gratuíto é o GIMP. Eu uso Photosho, mas isso não importa.
    Step Three: Create a new folder on \Mod\ActiveMod folder and name it in a reconizabele way. You'll keep your model's skin textures here, so name it preferable with his/hers/its name. I name mine as:
     
    Passo 3: Crie uma pasta nova em \Mod\ActiveMod e a nomeie de uma forma que você reconheça facilmente. Você irá manter as texturas de seu modelo nela, então nomeie preferencialmente com o nome dele/dela Eu nomeei a minha como "MariTats4x" como acima.

    Go to the folder of the skin textures you want to personalize and copy everything in it. Vá para a pasta da textura de pele que você escolheu para personalizar, copie tudo que tiver nela.

    SkinnyBody it's very simple, so there's not much to copy here. Past everything in your model's skin folder.

    The ones we will personalize in this tutorial are mod_female_White_body, mod_female_white_feet, mod_female_white_genital, mod_female_white_hand and mod_female_white_head.

    The passes we will not change them on this tutorial, but they need to be on your new folder regardless.

    With that done, reinitialize your game if not done yet.
    SkinnyBody é bem simples, então não tem muito o que copiar. Cole tudo na pasta que você criou.

    Os que eu vou personalizar nesse tutorias são mod_female_White_body, mod_female_white_feet, mod_female_white_genital, mod_female_white_hand and mod_female_white_head.

    Os arquivos ".pass" não iremos altera-los neste tutorial, mas eles precisam ser inclusos na pasta do seu modelo de qualquer forma.

    Com tudo isso pronto, reinicie o jogo se já não o fez.

    Step four: Open the Female_White_Body texture with your image manipulator programm. Don't forget to open the texture you saved on your model's folder! We don't want to lose the original skin that can be used for later personalizations!
    Passo 4: Abra a textura "Female_White_Body" com seu programa de manipulação de imagem. Não se esqueça de abrir a textura que você salvou na pasta de seu modelo! Nós não queremos modificar a textura original, pois pode servir para outras personalizações!

    Here's mine opened.
    Now, some image manipulating one-o-one:

    Aí acima é o meu aberto.
    Agora vamos saber um pouco de manipulação de imagens:
    4.1 You may want to change the color of the skin, Mari is a Brazillian-Niponic girl. Her genetic father has a powerfull tanned skin, so she inherited a bit of that. It would be nice to have the skin already in the correct tone. I want her a bit darker than the original skin.
    4.1 Você pode querer mudar a cor da pela. Mari é uma garota Nipo-Brasileira. Seu pai genético tem uma pele bem morena, então ela herdou um pouco disso. Seria bom ter a pele já no tom desejado, então eu quero ela um pouco mais escura que a pele original.
    All you have to do is to go to sidebar, click on layer's tab and click on the button bellow called "Create new filling or adjustment layer" or something like that, mine is in portuguese, but I have a nice screenshot pointing which button is bellow:
     
    Tudo o que você tem que fazer é ir até o painel esquerdo, clicar na aba de camadas e clicar no botão chamado "Criar novo preenchimento ou ajuste de camada" como no screenshot acima:
    It'll appear these options, chose the one which reads: "Hue/Saturation" Vai aparecer essas opções, escolha a que lê: "Matiz/Saturação"

    You should see this:

    Deve aparecer isso acima:
    Notice that the saturation is already in +10 and luminosity already at -15, those are Mari's modifications, you can do the changes you please. Just notice! write the changes down! You'll need to change all pieces of your models (Hands, Head, Genital and Feet).
    At this point save your progress on .pds (so you can modify and adjust) and on .png. Replace the one in your model's folder.
    Repeat all the process above with each ,png, make sure all are with the same hue/saturations mods of the body! Save them all as .pds and .png (replacing the one in your created folder). There's no problem to save .pds files inside your models folders, the game don't read them and just ignore them.
    Note que a saturação já está em +10 e a luminosidade já em -15, estas são as modificações que eu escolhi para a Mari. Você pode fazer as modificações que desejar, mas cuidado! Anote os números das mudanças, pois elas serão necessárias para igualar nas outras texturas (Mãos, cabeça, genital, pés).
    Nesse ponto salve seu progresso em .pds (para que possa modificar e ajustar) e em .png. Substitua o que está dentor da pasta com esse.
    Repita todo o processo acima com cada ,png, confirme que todos tenham a mesma luminosidade, cor e saturação! Salve todos em .pds e .png (substituindo os que esyão na pasta). Não tem problema salvar os .pds dento da pasta do modelo, o jogo não os lê e só os ignora.

    At this point, you may want to see ingame if the skin color of your model is what you wanted. If not, you may change the luminosity, hue and saturation until you get right. I'm please with the results, so she seems to be, so moving on!
     
    Nesse ponto, você deve querer ver como ficou no jogo o tom de pele de seu modelo. Se não ficou como queria, basta voltar para o programa de manipulação e mexer mais na saturação e luminosidade dos arquivos até ficar legal. Eu estou satisfeito com o resultado, e ela parece que também, então vamos continuar!


    Well, it's getting too big, so I'll just call it "Part 01" and start a part two!

    Bem, o tutorial já ficou bem grande, então vou chamar de "Parte 01" e começar a parte 02!

    This is getting too long, I know, but I hope someone finds it helpfull. I'm open to improve and explain more if anything is confuse or lacking. 
    Isso está ficando muito longo, eu sei, mas eu espero que alguém ache isso útil. Estou aberto a melhorar e explicar melhor o tutorial se vocês acharem que algo está confuso ou faltando. 

    STEP 6: SCARS
    Ok, on her body, Mari has some nasty gunshot scars. four of them where made from two bullets that went cleanly through, the fifth the bullet is still inside her 😞
    I'll show how to make these types of scars!

    First, open up you pds file from the body. Now make a new layer for the scar. A bullet scar is likely a circular one (they can come in many forms, but the circular one are more common) to draw a circle is simple. Use the brush tool and draw one using a tone close to your model skin color. In my case I used brush size 14 with 30% opacity and a tone a bit clearer than Mari's skin - that to represent that the healed skin grew clearer then her sun tanned skin.  This is the result:
     
    Passo 6: Cicatrizes
    Certo, no seu corpo, Mari tem algumas cicatrizes feias de tiros. Quatro deles foram feitas por duas balas que atravessaram limpas. A quinta cicatriz é de uma bala que ainda está dentro dela 😞
    Vou lhes mostrar como fazer esses tipos de cicatrizes!

    Primeiro, abra o arquivo .pds do corpo. Agora faça uma nova camada para a cicatriz. Uma cicatriz de bala é normalmente circular (elas podem vir em várias formas, mas a circular é a mais comum) para desenhar um círculo é simples. Use a ferramenta pincel e desenhe um usando uma cor parecida com o tom de seu modelo. No meu caso, eu escolhi pincel tamanho 14 com 30% de opacidade e um tom um pouco mais claro que a pele de Mari - isso representa que a pele sarada cresceu mais clara que a pele corada pelo sol dela. Esse foi o resultado:



    Not done yet! Remember how to bevel and emboss? Yes! Double click the layer to pop up the options.
    Não está pronto ainda! Lembra do chanfro e entalhe? Sim! Dê um clique duplo para mostrar as opções.


    Adjust the sliders until you are satisfied with the result, for this particular scar, I also changed the contour reflex, to give this sickly appearence!
    Ajuste os sliders até você ficar feliz com os resultados, para essa cicatriz em particular, eu também mudei o Contorno do reflexo, para da essa aparência doentia!
    Here's the result of the bullet scars! note how many layers I have!

    Aqui está o resultadodas cicatrizes! note o tanto de camadas que eu já tenho! 
    She also have a few knife scars, they are old, so they are very discreet! I made them using the lasso tool, remember it? I made this thunderbolt-like shape with the lasso tool on her skin layer, copied the selection and then pasted, creating a new layer. Ctrl and click on the newly created layer to activate the selection and clicked on the hue/saturation button to make the slight color change on it. This is the result. Discreet, huh?


    Ela também tem algumas cicatrizes de cortes de faca, elas são velhas, então são muito discretas! Eu fiz elas usando a ferramenta lasso, lembra dela? Eu fiz essa forma de relampago com o lasso na camada da pele, copiei a seleção e colei, criando uma camada nova.  Ctrl e clique na camada nova para selecioná-la novamente e cliquei no botão de matiz/satruação para fazer a discreta mudança de cor.  O resultado é esse acima, discreto, né?
    nullWith the bevel/emboss techniques they stand out more:
    Com a técnica de chanfro/entalhe elas ficam mais destacadas: 


    She also have some discreet scars on her nose, on her left eyebrow, on her ears, on her knuckles and som on her feet, with 4x I need to show them all! You already know how to make them, so I don't need to show how I made them, or do I?

    Ela também tem algumas cicatrizes no nariz, sobrancelha esquerda, nas suas orelhas, nos nós dos dedos e nos pés. Com 4x devo mostrar todas! VocÊ já sabe como faze-las, é o mesmo processo usado no corpo!

    Nothing new on the front?

    By Morius,


    News
    So, I'm not posting many things and whattanot because I recently reinstalled the game and, at the same time, discovered the beauty of body morphs, they make the models so diverse! Thanks community for them!

    I too am dabbling on hairworks, I made osme, but just changes on .pass files. I really suck on really modding this game, for now. I'll make a true attempt when I get some free time.
    One interesting thing about hairworks, I think they complement normal static hair, but the do not replace them. It's the same for you?

    Anyway, I'll throw some pics of my models with their new bodies: What do oyu think?
