Mila joins the fight - Model progress (Patreon)

Well! I had an odd stroke of inspiration when it came to this model I believe..
I have spent the entirety of the last 3 days working on this one. And it was a bit of a rollercoaster. First of: The model isn't entirely finished. As you can see, there are still a few weightpainting problems. Especially around the thigh/hip area. But I am hoping that I can iron those out by today.
The model looks downright beautiful. I would still like to upscale her body textures a bit more, which is something I need to learn soon as well. I sort of knew how to do it back then, but it was more of an experimental process. I am certain, that there are better ways today. Well.. just like I have to learn how to weightpaint such issues.
Do wish me luck, I'll try to fix these other outfits today or within the next few days depending on how it goes. I do hope, that I am able to make progress. I have learned so many things with this model. On-top of the months of gathering more and more knowledge about these things in Blender. It's sort of a product of all of the things I have learned so far. And it turned out to be absolutely beautiful. I was downright dying to show you this one! As I am super curious about your reaction to it.
But honestly: I was a little crazy to tackle so many outfits at once. Well, call it crazy, or being inspired and motivated. Probably the latter! ha.
OH! ALSO! A lot of these outfits were 'invented by me'. They use several existing outfits of hers to combine them into a completely new outfit. I wanted to give her a certain look with those. Like she had an MMA background but seemingly focussed on stepping into the wrestling-ring for quite a bit of time. So I went out of my way to give her a 'singlet' and to spice it up with a few of her own wrestling/mma related pieces of clothing, ontop of adding a few that she never had to spice it up even more. The outfits I came up with myself are "Number 2/3/4/(5)".
Again, this one isn't fully finished. The clothing on some more complicated parts does not move properly. But I am really hoping that this might be an easy fix with weight painting (Although.. Weightpainting can be super tedious and tricky. Just depends on luck here.)
Bit of my own Backstory to Mila:
Now.. there's a good question to be had. 'If I ended up putting so much time into Mila, why didn't I just put that time into Tina instead?' Simple. Inspiration.. and I wanted to gain more experience in the process. So that once it's Tina's turn to get her 'proper model', that she will look even more impressive than this. But honestly.. While I think that I'll probably manage in making her look even better.. DOESN'T MILA LOOK AMAZING NOW?! I always had 2 potential storylines for her. One of them being, that right before Tina would meet her for the first time.. Aka: Tina defeated Zack infront of the coffeeshop that Mila worked in.. But right before she would enter the building, she would be distracted by a bunch of noise which sounded like fighting and a girl shouting. She would end up following the noise, just to find Asuka knocking out a bunch of thugs who attempted to gang up on her, or.. who she tried to convince to stop doing what they are doing, as she enjoys sticking her nose into other people's business. And all of this would essentially keep Mila and Tina from meeting up the way they did.
My second scenario was.. That Asuka showed up afterwards. With Mila and Tina spending a lot of time yet.. Ever since Asuka.. all of that sort of went down the drain, as Tina seemingly only focused on Asuka for some reason. Ending up with Mila to be rather unhappy and maybe even angry towards Asuka for 'stealing her Idol away'.
AND.. In that timeline, there was very little chance of Mila ending up as an ally of Tina and Asuka. Maybe.. she would not only desire to get revenge or payback on Asuka.. But to also shove it to Tina. To train so hard, that she would become even stronger than Tina herself. Aiming to utterly demolish her in her own way of fighting to show her 'I didn't even need you.' And this seconds storyline also opened up the chance for something else to happen. For.. a new mentor to appear for Mila. A mentor, that she would also know quite well, as she was also a huge wrestling-star on the side. Lisa. And with Lisa's goal to break Tina physically and mentally, to finally have her realize that Lisa is far superior to that 'bimbo-blonde'.. That Mila will just be a perfect opportunity to make Tina's live that bit more chaotic. And a true opportunity to shove it to Tina, by first off.. Pushing Mila far enough that she would downright dismantle Asuka (Tina's favorite and only student) in the ring.. and to maybe even defeat Tina herself. Feeding into her desire to get revenge and maybe even turning her into a proper heel by teaching her a few bad-habits in the ring, while also teaching her a metric ton of things when it comes to wrestling.
Mila vs Asuka:
This Mila would be quite the scary version. In a 1 on 1 fight with "normal Mila vs Normal Asuka" (Aka: Before their training or Transformation), I would say that a fight between them could go either way. Since she is an MMA fighter and hasn't gone through Lisa's training which would clearly strengthen her with the vital information of just how weak Asuka was to proper grappling-approaches or.. if you came TOO close to her..
The fight essentially depends on how Mila acts within it. If she goes for a strike and kick-heavy offensive? Asuka will knock her out. Maybe even in seconds. She may get countered or downright overwhelmed by Asuka's offensive capabilities when it comes to such a fight.
If she would however focus on playing it defensively to find an opening in Asuka's stance to tackle her down to the floor.. The Fight would turn into a domination-session, as Asuka would be completely unable to ever get her off of her at that point.
So it's 2 extremes. One of them will put the other to shame, depending on how it goes.
But now.. Picture this. With Mila making huge gains when it comes to her body.. while also absorbing so much information and knowledge from Lisa when it comes to wrestling.. Her desire to get some payback on that 'Looser Asuka' would be boiling over. So much so, that she might not even be satisfied with a single win. And now, that Lisa would've revealed Asuka's weakness to Mila before she even had a chance to ever bump into Asuka.. The fight would be a slaughter. Not only would she end up being more experienced in wrestling due to her previous knowledge of an MMA based fighting style, and due to Lisa being such a harsh yet efficient teacher.. Asuka wouldn't stand a chance. Not even mentioning how strong her body has become.
