A character modeling and rigging commission for KudoDerg (https://bsky.app/profile/kudoderg.com).
I originally wanted to use my Takai preset for the rigging but then changed to a customized version of the Takai preset proportion. Height-wise, they are identical. I mostly changed the proportion and size of the limbs. This does mean I would need to rebuild the rig for this character, but that isn't much of an issue, thanks to my modular rigging system. I also decided to simplify the preset by not adding a tweak system. I also experimented with adding a toe system with the foot roll.
For the hair, I originally designed it like my other characters. After some feedback, I experimented with using multiple layers or hair strands and a more "messy" look, following the shape of the reference.
