[WIP] Model Upgrade Status

It's been a very long time. This is Asentina.

I hope everyone's been doing well. During my time off, I was able to take some time for myself and focus entirely on upgrades.

First of all, I've been experimenting with a variety of new things. I focused on areas I felt were lacking, such as detailed physical anatomy (fingers, facial expressions, etc.), maintaining consistency with my existing models, and having multiple characters appear and interact with one another.

The finger issue, which was always a headache, has improved significantly. While it's still not 100% perfect, I can now say it's much easier to pick out the unnatural ones rather than struggling to find a natural one. Of course, translating Saber's character style from depictions 1–5 over to the art style of my existing Saber models in 6–9 is a completely different challenge.

Around this time last year, I shared updates on my progress under the name 'Fate Heroines' (https://www.patreon.com/posts/129610836). I wanted to show you the changes from the past year using the same name again, so I'm very disappointed that I couldn't quite achieve that this time.

I'm still not entirely sure how the process of overlaying the improved outputs (1–5) with my current style (6–9) will turn out, but I anticipate it'll look something like bringing pics 1 and 2 closer to my current style.

Even though it's been a while since my last update, so many of you have maintained your subscriptions to cheer me on, and some have even newly subscribed despite my announcement of a break for these upgrades. I'd like to express my deepest gratitude, and I'll be back soon with the next WIP! 😙
