Iron Maidens II - Tempered Boogalo

Aron, Lairon and Aggron have been reworked!

What a long, busy week it's been. Aside from having some real life stuff like my niece's confirmation and my dad's birthday, I've been struggling to get these ladies up to shape. While their outfits in general were fairly simple, most of the work was done adjusting the armor plating. With Lairon and Aggron, I used a slightly different technique to create an illusion of "holes" in the armor, by simply adding a transparent mask on the shape accessory. Easier said then done, by the way. Aggron's helm does look a bit awkward, but when you look at her sprite, it looks just as ridiculous.

Some minor things were adjusted such as modifying Aggron's AlphaMask for her hair to hide stray hair strands that were clipping through her helm, or Lairon's shoulder guards being bound to her clothing so they'll disappear when you take off her top, although be sure to hide the bra too, or things look funky :P

These three share a lot of clothing overlap. I've honestly grown tired of trying to give all three stages of a family unique clothing sets, particularly when I don't have the creative motivation to make something unique, so instead of forcing it, I mostly use the same between the three (with minor changes here or there), simply to have something there and you can change at your whims. I mean, do I really need to spend an extra hour on a random stage two Moemon and give them fully unique clothing when few would ever care? Probably not! Unless I ABSOLUTELY have an idea, only then do I go out of my way to make something unique.

But at this point I'm just ranting. There's a Mega version of Aggron that will be worked on soon, so stay tuned for that.

NOTE: The original three of these I made a while back still hold up. However, they're currently broken with a few missing mod pieces. I plan to fix them up and do some minor adjustments to them, at which point they'll be re-uploaded to the Mega for archival purposes. Maybe even as mock Regional sets. Will include in a Mega update post when I do so.

Enjoy!
