I'm back from my little vacation...sorta. Have some unfinished business to do for about a week.
Well thats not the point of the topic eh? Well anyways, I decided to work on a longer term project this time. Some of you may remember my old Shrine knight mod. Now even though I based the textures off FFT (Solid colors), it was sorta crappy in my eyes lol. I wanted to expand on what I did back then and do my version of a shrine knight.
When I was working on this project, I was really depressed while working on it and still am. This hit all of a sudden and today was the day. Anyways, because of that, I was only able to get the body halfway done (model wise, textures almost done imo). I lose my creativness when I'm like this so lets just say I have to work harder and sometimes that is futile. Thus you get halfdone work from me.
I basically wanted to start on the dark version which is usually the toughest thing. For the dark version, I based my work off the Drk af set. At first, this was a DRK AF Redo Project. But I changed it to this.
Anyways, I don't know where I'm going with this and if I want to continue it. Depression sorta kills such things. I'm surprised I even got it looking like that.

Oh and lets compare the old shrine knight mod to this, even though its the male version, the female counterpart is virtually the same....
And lets compare this to a very old project that was going to be based off this. Most of you really never saw my old old work unless you tracked me down or something lol....
Ugh lol. I sometimes look at my past work and say "WTF was I smoking?" xD. Yes, back in the days, I was actually crappy, atleast to me
.
Things to do...
- Probably change up the shoulder plates (Textures).
- Fix the cape (model wise). This will probably take weeks since I finally got back into VRS
- Fix up the model more (Body)
- More body model changes
If I decide to continue pushing on, I will create the rest of it along with 2 versions of the helm. One will be based off a helm in RFO. The other? Probably drk af helm. The RFO helm will look a lot better if I can pull it off.
Port?
Sorry, I cannot make this for any other race or have the motivation. This is sorta one of those one time deals. After I'm done with everything, it will be more feminine meaning even if you yourself ported it, have fun redoing it. I do not care if someone ports it to another race when I release it, but you have to let me know.
The other main reason is the cape. I usually spend a lot of time working on that for w/e race that doesn't already have one made by me. EM has one done already, but apparently there is some fatal problem with it. I dunno, EM may get the Light version if I don't make it too feminine, but they would never get the dark version. Put too much time in that.
Release?
Matters if I get out of this depression phase. Should I continue this? Or should I trash it like other projects? That is the question. When I look at it compared to my old SK mod, its actually a lot better I think.
Even if I do decide to finish it, it will take awhile to release as usual. I can already pinpoint a billion problems with it and I doubt all of that can be fixed. Dunno? June maybe? Thats probably when my site mods will be back anyways.
There will be one thing I'm going to do that may make this mod not look right in FFXI. If that happens, I'm dropping this project.
Can beta test this when I say so and when everything else is finished. Don't bother sending me pm right now.
Anyways, I dunno when and if I work on this again. I made this project a little too detailed texture wise. Such a pain. So yeah, may post again with more shots if I got out of my depression phase. Otherwise, dumped!
