For reasons that will soon become clear, I thought it might be nice to take a look back over the different 3D versions of Amanda during her 13 year career as an adventurer, detective and damsel in distress.
Amanda I made her debut on deviantART on 1st Jan 2011. She was the main 3D model for Amanda until the end of 2016. She was built on Daz's Victoria 4 using the FRAD Eden character as a base. She existed intitally just as plain old Amanda, but as I came into more hairstyles and youth morphs, in 2013 she made her debut as Young Amanda, which accompanied her CYOA adventure First Sleuth by Perils of Dawn. In 2014 I developed an intermediate version of Amanda between her High School and College versions, called Summer Sleuth Amanda. She benefited from a deviantART story competition, with over a dozen entries detailing her adventures with Kat and Hannah across Europe.
Regular 'College' Amanda was by no means finished despite the appeal of her more youthful versions. In 2015 she appeared in the story The Casket Caper, where she encountered her nemesis, Lafarge. The picture of her tied up in the casket is, to date, my most viewed and popular image on dA.
When Amanda II came along at the end of 2016, Amanda I's model had already served a 5 year distinguished career. And because Amanda II's supermodel looks tended less well to 'young' versions, Amanda I continued to appear in overlap with her: as Young Amanda, and in 2017 Summer Sleuth Amanda took a dark turn and transformed into Teen Rebel Amanda, all because she was forbidden from taking a summer holiday that year (mistakenly to keep her out of trouble).
I've put together this attached scrapbook, and hopefully for some of you who haven't been following since 2011, this may be interesting or enlightening. Much of Amanda I's art is on deviantART, as she pre-dates Patreon. There's also more on my Discord server for those who are interested.
Next, Amanda II's scrapbook.
Let me know what you thought of Amanda I down below and which was your favourite guise for her, or your favourite adventure. Thanks!
