First of all, I want to thank kind_koala for mentioning me. It really means a lot when someone notices you. The community is truly the strongest side of Civitai, as well as the freedom it gives us. Now, I'll recall the works connected to people or events
First of all, I want to thank @kind_koala for mentioning me. It really means a lot when someone notices you. The community is truly the strongest side of Civitai, as well as the freedom it gives us.
Now, I'll recall the works connected to people or events that left their mark on my journey here, and recreate them.
So, here are my entries for Throwback Thursday! (https://civitai.com/posts/26707712)
Lilian by @ikarirh. My introduction to original characters by other authors started with him. Liliana was the first character I tried to create beautiful art for, beyond my own ideas. At that time, I didn't have a clear concept yet, and ikarirh's work inspired me to keep going and develop in this direction.
Chronopattern Dress. This image is about my serious attempts to recreate an outfit I really liked. For my first clothing model, I chose a fairly complex concept. I remember spending a long time searching for a universal solution to properly render the cloak from behind.
The White Angel. This character became the symbol for my first working checkpoint, ShiroMix v1.5 Stable. My goal was to combine the best elements from two popular models and create a versatile model that blends anime style with semi-realism. I believe it fully lived up to its name, so I still return to it from time to time. Angels became a recurring theme for this series of checkpoints.
Luna Corvus by @Abbyss. Another author whose original characters truly impressed me. Unfortunately, they haven't created new characters since, though I occasionally hoped they would return to Civitai. Nevertheless, Rosewyn and Luna Corvus remain examples of exceptionally well-designed characters for me.
Ashariel by @Pacifica. The first character through which I discovered this author's work. Ashariel is simply gorgeous: cute, with black wings and a revealing style. The author always supplements his characters with interesting stories.
Cleopatra. The last entry here, but not the least. For this work, I received recognition from @tehalex86 in his bounty, and I'm very grateful to him for that. It was thanks to Alex that my interest in Bounties grew significantly. I have to mention that he's one of the most creative authors on Civitai, creating a multitude of unique styles.
