Valkyries

So. I went a little crazy this month. Every Fantasy Gacha Carnival I do, I push myself to learn some new technique that will take me to the next level. This round I wanted to learn how to rig things. Clothing, pets, whatever I think of creating.. I wanted the ability to rig it if I wanted to.

So. I had this awesome idea for a gacha. This Fantasy Facha Carnival's theme was ? so I could really do anything I wanted to do. I was looking for inspiration, trying to get really excited about another idead I'd had, but not getting hooked. That's when I found this picture:

So. The image is really simple, yet beautiful. The swords are beyond awesome.. but I am not sure how one would go about making a pair of swords chained together that won't end up looking funky. Yet. I'll get there.. its a thought in the back of my head.

So. I started researching. And learning. And experimenting. And learning. And more researching. It was a very long and involved process that kept me up nights and my hubby's bed cold. Poor hubby.

But in the end, I managed to create this:


Which is available at the Fantasy Gacha Carnival. The rigged skirt is a limited item. I am only selling 200 copies of it - but you get all the sizes. All my love, frustration, and finally victorious exultation is embedded in every digital fiber of it. I hope you love it as much as I do. <3
