[Card] Ivy Valentine (Patreon)

"Here's your reward!"

Oh boooy, it's a new card!! My quest to create my own versions of all my favorite fighting game ladies nears its end with my Soul Calibur main, the marvelous Isabella Valentine. What a woman, I know she has changed a lot of brain chemistry with her cover art appearances and attack animations. She's pretty awesome to play, I keep trying to learn her combos in SC2 and SC6 but Soul Calibur is packed with so much complexity to its gameplay, I can't retain any of it. Yet I love the games so. And as much as I wanna yap about my love for Ivy, gotta mention a couple things about this card first. While I found a handful of Ivy cards online, for the first time I feel like I can claim being the first to go all the way with a fully accurate attempt. The Soul Calibur ladies just don't seem that popular with the KK community. Can't blame 'em, their outfits are hard to recreate, which is why I'm very proud to say I learned how to make clothing mods just for Ivy! Not to mention I made it an all-in-one file too, so just throw the zipmod into your mods folder and you'll have everything you need- her two main outfits, hair, swords and armor.For dependencies, Gatito's Mods has a hair/headmod for Ivy out there which I think I used for the Slot 4/Swimsuit outfit, but it is virtually the same mesh as the hairs from my mod, don't sweat it if you're missing it. All the differences between the hairs come from basically the shader settings. One more thing about this card- consider it a beta release. I'd say I'm 99% satisfied with her face/body, but I wanna go all the way with her outfits and make them all modded. I imported her most iconic looks, the SC6 and SC4 costumes, but I think her SC5 costume and some other alts deserve to be here too, maybe her SC2 and SC3 outfits if I can make them high poly/res. And I haven't even made the halfstates yet, sorry!! So lots still to do, but instead of holding this card hostage for another couple months while I chip away in Blender hell, I thought it'd be better to just let y'all play with her early and release a v2.0/complete version in the near future. I'll try to fix anything weird with my mods by then. Some extras in the download included is a full body mask to fix any clipping with her boots or gloves. There's this plugin I'm missing which allows every clothing item to utilize bodymasks, my mod should mask as intended with that. But if you're missing it too, use the ones in the zip file, you can load them in Studio with Rikki's Pseudo Maker plugin. And there's some coordinate cards in there so you can use her main or alt color on her SC4 outfit!Features 7 outfits and 4 hairstyles! Use her card responsibly!! If you use her for anything, please credit me!!
