There is a fine Japanese tradition of giving girls some form of a weaponized armature that I’ve always enjoyed. And the French maid outfit is a staple of fanservice, so I’ve decided to double down on my otaku appeal here
At this point we are still very much in the materials test stage, so no fancy lighting yet, just the standard light source until I’ve resolved the piece a bit more
#1 body shot
This is a nice pose that showcases her gear quite nicely, and even has enough headroom for a title (should I decide to add one later on) although it seems like she really wants some fishnet stockings. Even if I decide to keep this pose it will require quite a bit of tweaking, but I don't want to fuss with the pose or give her a light rig yet because...
#2 head shot
I might not use the other pose and just go with the close up shot. Once again, I am facing my classic dilemma of showing the entire figure versus going with an optimal composition
While this shot is definitely more flattering to the maid, it doesn't do much to showcase her gear and the texture doesn't work at all
So I will give you a chance to vote on which one you'd like to see first
I like the full body one, just because of her gear. Fishnets would work, how about beige? And change the white on her uniform to tan or beige? lol
Noticing a bias here. I don’t know why the greyscale format was applied to maid outfits in reality, but I can tell you in artwork it provides maximum contrast
Clean and white. When did that type of uniform come about I wonder…
I am going to guess around the Industrial Revolution
Nice eyes and beautiful legs.
I gather you think she needs the fishnets stockings, then?
