The Recluse from Elden Ring Nightreign

Up until now, I've been working with mostly DAZ Genesis 8 characters. Certain foot morph sliders gave me a nice starting point and G8 Female character models, with very few exceptions like great-out-of-the-box Ms. Fortune, all start out with the same ugly feet. G8 also offers a huge library of modifiers that G9 did not have until relatively recently.
You folks have been good to me, so I reinvested the proceeds for this month into a whole host of G9 head, face and body modification sliders. There's nothing for feet yet, except for one plugin that added minute detailes to the surfaces like tendons, veins and toe-prints, which can be seen here.
The Recluse was kind of like a Holy Grail for me. One content creator had it as a Blender character model. I snagged it of course, but was a bit underwhelmed. A g( version of her was available for a while on Renderosity but the listing was removed. It resurfaced again on a very small website, where I was able to pick it up.
I loaded her into my session and she was not ready to go. The outfit and hair were rigged very well, but she was disproportional and had a case of butterface. Her butt and boobs were not impressive. Her feet were the standard G9 feet: an improvement from G8, but without sliders to get me most of the way there, she required a LOT of sculpting.
So after maxing out what purchased morph sliders could do for me, I took her into Blender. G9 characters have twice the poly count. You may think this is advantageous, but it takes a whole lot, longer to move all of those additional vertices into position to where everything is smooth and even. The Recluse's in-game face isn't all that hot when you look closely. She's still not the ultimate facial hottie but I'm happy with the changes.
The feet took hours. Not my absolute best work, but they now look very erotic to me, and I'm presenting a much different shape from previous releases. The morph I created should work on other G9 characters, which will give me a better starting point for future sculpts.
In other news, The Way of Watersports has been through thorough quality control and all necessary revisions have been made. The narration was checked for grammar. I almost go out of my way not to write commas when I compose. It hurts the flow. Now, I just have to imprint those narration plates onto the finished slides, put everything into the right sequence, divide into chapters, format into a reasonable file size and come up with a kick-ass cover. We are looking a a release in a couple weeks, while Fire and Ash is still playing on IMAX.
