A 3D commission of Mona, another character belonging to the Garry's Mod animator Crispy Toast!
The process behind this model's creation was relatively fast-paced, since she was deliberately made through the extensive modification of Leilanie's model, for the sake of stylistic consistency and to save on budget at the client's request. I do typically recycle and modify smaller model components such as hands, feet and shoulders to expedite, but this is my first time essentially reusing and retrofitting an entire model and rig. There are some notable design differences between Mona and Lei, of course, so I made the model slightly taller and slimmer, with darker skin, sharper facial features, and a longer uvula. Articles of clothing such as her shoes, shorts and tank top were similarly recycled, albeit with new textures and new topological details. I did, however, have to make new hair from scratch and rebuild the armature for her eyelids. Even though this model is more or less a reskin of a previous creation, I am still very proud of how the product turned out. The tileable textures used for her clothes were provided by AmbientCG.
