Description
This is Periwinkle. Originally created as a Hoennite in a Pokemon 5e game, here she is re-imagined in more fantasy-themed garb. She's a Ranger, though instead of the vast untouched wilderness, her jungle was made of brick and worked timbers. Her familiar is a slime she calls Sheila. Periwinkle isn't getting played much in the Pokemon game, but recently the DM has been talking about getting something a bit more steampunk/victorian-era going. His only request has been that Periwinkle stays on, and so I must oblige. Honestly though, I spent enough time developing the personality, and I think she'll fit into the new setting well.
We're also talking about the inclusion of Sky Rangers. If we can work out a fair system for the jetpack, then she'll be a Rocketeer. In fact, I may have picked up a certain set from Renderosity conceptualize this... (Check back later!)
Of noteworthy triumph, is that the jacket and shirt weren't meant to ever work together, as the shirt has ruffles. Yet, I managed to pull it off. As well as getting the blouse to tuck into the pants that it was also never supposed to work with. The other thing of note, and the one I'm even more proud of is the hat... AND HAIR! Yahoo! I got really lucky. Between morphs on the hair and hat, as well as SY's Hat and Hair helper, I actually got everything to play nice together. Living the dream, my dudes. Living the dream.
Periwinkle is a bit of a tomboy. After a series of tragedies claimed the lives of her family, and was followed up by calamity finding not one, but three different foster families, Periwinkle runs away, to live in the woods with her only friend, a slime named Sheila. Eventually coming to live out-of-doors near a village where many older adventurers came to retire. The elders would look after the girl, never afraid of a supposed curse. Caring for her as well as allowing her to live the life she wishes. Eventually she is sent to a university, training to become a Ranger, and perhaps, one of the legendary Sky Rangers.
She will not tolerate bullies. Beyond that, she will try to befriend everyone. If anything, her friendly slime is even more friendly, often forgetting an aggression just moments after it occurs, and attempts to "hug" everything. You might call this a rare image of Periwinkle without a little slime in her hair, lol. She is practicing her saber skills, but has also learned the usage of various firearms required to fulfill the duties of an Urban Ranger.
Periwinkle is an outgoing individual who sometimes has difficulty reading body language, and will always assume the best of everyone.
I hope you enjoy the work! It was a lot of fun to put together. I completely lost track of time working on it today. I'm thinking about getting that new dForce slime set, but I haven't made up my mind yet.

Excellent!
Thanks Anita!
Nicely done.
Thank you!
Very nice work. The hat and hair came off well. They can be quite a pain which is one reason I don't bother with hats much. So great job technically, but more than that an enjoyable scene and character.
Thanks. Yeah, I avoid hats even though irl I love them. But I'm trying to make more of an effort in that regard.
I wish we'd get more advanced ear controls though. I got an elf-girl (Aryll) who has a fondness for hats. Her ears make that a very difficult thing to manage. Plus she's got really long hair.
Thank you for stopping by. Always a pleasure.
amzing render - i like lhat
Thank you, brain! I appreciate it.
With all her wonderful garb and gear, she looks quite saucy, and ready for anything. But it’s that almost hidden shadowed gaze that truly reveals her.
Thanks. I was a bit nervous when I hit the render button, because setting up the shadows can be so tricky. But I really like that a closer look reveals hidden depths. I'm really glad when its noticed.
Fantastic image, wonderful character, excellent info, klasse work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!
This is so beautiful, Lyle. That light is incredible and so natural. It also really highlights the beautiful design and colour of the outfit too. Wonderful. One really believes this pirate in the courtyard. :)
Aww. Thank you very much. That is really wonderful. I do appreciate the feedback. You have a beautiful day, now. Indulge in some food you aren't supposes to have.
Great description about her, nice pose and that outfit is super.
Thank you Eek. I'm pretty happy with how the whole thing came together.
amazing scene
Thank you very checking it out!
Very nice render! Great looking 'character.' And so it goes. As the stomach churns and the world turns, we spill out our opinions on each others work. We love it. We take it to heart. We can't wait for more. But in the end, where does it end. The capacity of innovation, is it endless? Or does there come a point in this repetitious long cycle we are still not aware of that the reset button gets pushed and everything starts all over again. Do things change after the button is pushed? Or is it just a broken record that never ceases to end. And how many millions upon millions of billions and trillions of times has that button been pushed? So much for today's philosophy lesson! Have a great rest of your weekend. LOL.
Lol. Yeah. I'm just glad to keep playing her. You have a good weekend too, my friend.
En garde! Nicely done: Periwinkle is a fantastic character.
Thanks. I think she's a keeper. She's quite the sweetheart. Genuinely wants the world to be a better place.
I'll have the Sky Ranger version done in another hour or so.
Spectacular and excellent work, my friend!!! 👍🙋♂️5️⃣⭐️
Thank you! So glad you like it.
Stunning image, great work!
Thank you very much. bows
Very nice work! Very realistic lighting, natural shadows (I rather like that her face is hidden).
Thanks! I think its some of my best lighting work. Getting the hang of lighting a scene, I think. You have a lovely day, chasfh.
good one
Thank you, joe! Have a great Sunday.
This is a grand character and the back story is excellent. I do hope we get to follow her and Sheila on some of their adventures. Really nicely done. It is great that so many divergent clothing items played nice together. Really well done.
Thanks! Had to restart the Sky Ranger version, but it should be done before too much longer. It also is turning out nicely!
Great character development work, Lyle. She's a bit naïve with a good heart and doesn't like thugs. So she can be taken advantage of but if she realized it she'd probably get pissed and swish that rapier.
Indeed. She's easy-going but that don't mean she can't lose her temper. Makes her more likely to try and talk a crook ibto vhanging their ways, but if she's been swindled or used... Watch out!
Huzzah! Have at you, and stuff!
Excellent render!
Thanks! She's a feisty one.
Such a remarkable clothing combination and action to boot! That pose emphasises her rear quarter magnificently!
Lol, thanks. Got to work those assets, you know? You have a good one, my dude.
Can I borrow her? I could use a good urban ranger. My Girls are all off trying to save the world at the moment... 😉
Really beautiful render, and killer lighting, good sir!
Well, sure! She's always up for adventures.
Really great stuff
Thanks, Bugs!
Excellent image! ..perfect scene and characters! Really nice outcome!
Thank you. I think so, too. I got it up on DA now, and it had a "favourite" just seconds after posting. I think she's going to make an impression over there! So glad you left a comment.
Love it!!
Thanks, Nemesis!
Top work. I especially love the drape of her cape...
Thank you. With the shirt, I was pretty sure I was going to have to ditch either it or the jacket/cape, but I get fiddling with it until it cooperated. Thank you for the appreciation!
