Legends of Arkain: Inara the Viper (A rough XPS/XNALARA concept) by Wolffus1996
A dark and gritty orcish anti-hero.
Hello everyone,
I decided to pass by this Arkain thread and share my efforts to make something that would resemble Inara, my favorite Legends of Arkain character. It is a 3D rendition of her, created using XPS/XNALARA Posing Studio 11.8 and various models that are usable with this program. It's a very rough concept and there are many details that would have needed to be refined (ears, for instance, are far above eyes, while the face veil also looks somewhat off). It took me quite some time to make this picture and I think that the final result is somewhat passable, though quite flawed. I also prefer Inara to have a thinner, a more triangular/V-shape face, though I was working with what I have and the face that I used for Inara was the best one that I could find. All in all, I was experimenting to see if I could make a fitting 3D version of Inara and I did want to create a legitimate and respectable fanart of Arkain. I doubt that I succeeded and it probably holds up only as a one-off experiment at best, but I wanted to share my work nonetheless.

Legends of Arkain: Lisara (XPS/XNALARA version) by Wolffus1996
A deadly renegade Succubus
Hope you're all doing well everyone. Though my previous XNALARA image with Inara should have been more of a one-off experiment, I was attempting to make a 3D version of Lisara. While my 3D version of Inara was made to be a more straightforward and accurate representation of how she looks in the game, whilst also taking a drawing created by merlockqueen (
Fanmade of Arkain) into account, I did not think that I could recreate Lisara's outfit in the model used for her (
Overqueen), thus I took some creative liberties for making 3D rendition of her (primarily the outfit, though another difference is that she has wings instead of horns on her head). While there are some details that would need more polish/refinement, I am overall satisfied with the result, particularly the face and hair (it slightly reminds me off Succubus from World of Warcraft). One thing that was not to my liking in regards to my previous image with Inara is that her face was too rough and bulky. While it does accurately depict Inara as being of an orcish race (orcs, women included, should have a more gruff, brutish face), I prefer Inara to have a more V-shape/triangular face and the face that Lisara has in this picture is the face I want Inara to have. In general, it's my preference for Inara and Lisara to look similar, both in facial features and overall physiques (tall/statuesque, lean and athletic; both Inara and Lisara would also be of the same height).
I must admit that I'm rather nervous and hesitant about posting my 3D/XNALARA fanart for Arkain here. Still, I hope that my work is at least semi-passable, flawed but semi-adequate for what it is.

Parts of the upper head/forehead were colored pitch black with GIMP in order to give Lisara the hairstyle she has in this picture.
