i'm like 🤏 this close to making a custom skeleton or something but idk how to do that yet

proof of concept that it's poseable tho! the weights on the fuzzy parts are a little weird but I think I can refine it eventually... but for now this works !!

ty for the hype :>

Last mission together
A pack of four Hrothgar in combat attire, on the move. Two in the middle are in clearest focus, a man resembling a tiger who is holding a long flintlock, and a woman who wields a gunblade and is reloading it while barking commands. The landscape is foggy and blurry, with shadowy bamboo copses in the background and a broken bridge in the left corner. A close up of the leading Hrothgar duo. The man is snarling, with one whisker raised, and the woman is calling out. The man looks slightly blurred compared to the woman. It is hard to see her pupils.

🥺 from this article: www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/nat...
A snippet from an article: "The spirit of ‘bersatu’ The 69-year-old artisan, who is also a lion dance performer, said he was proud of how far Malaysia had come in developing the art. “The high pole lion dance performance was founded in Malaysia. The lion dance competitions we have here are more creative than in any other country. That is why Malaysia has been labelled as ‘the kingdom of lion dance’,” he said. For Siow, the lion dance signifies unity, or “bersatu”, as the performance is dependent on the collaboration of a group of people. “One person will never be able to make the lion dance work. Two people can control the head and body of the lion, but no one will be there to play the drums and gong. “We used to say that the lion dance is part of Chinese culture, but Malaysia has three major ethnicities, and the art has captured their hearts, too. That’s why we like to say it belongs to everyone now,” he said."

Lastly Solveig! She gets a bit more mass in the cheeks, and I used C+ on just one arm to make it look very mechanical.
A Hrothgar, Solveig, in a modified Field Commander's Coat. Her left arm is mechanical, which is visibly much thinner than her right. A Hrothgar, Solveig, in a modified Field Commander's Coat. Her face is a little slimmer and her arms look similar in proportion, despite one being mechanical.
