The wings looked how I imagined, something bulky but also gives off a fast mech feel to it. I was looking at a lot of AI art of mechs and some of them were cool, so I was heavily inspired by those. I know there is a lot of debate in the art community about AI art but I have not copied anything directly. Just used it as inspiration to direct where my designs would of and come up with my own ideas off the back of them. I decided to get rid of that "blade" part of the wings and turn it into a "flare" look about it but that will be explained later. It took around an hour or so to make them, I would then have the make a base for it to mount on after.
Taygeta - Creation Process
Taygeta - Celestial Demon

Taygeta is probably one of the weirder avatars that I have made. I wanted to create something with a lot of moving parts to it, but also focus a lot on my creative freedom with it. Her name comes from one of the star systems within the Pleiades cluster. I plan on releasing similar style avatars after other stars within the cluster. The other star names are: Asterope, Alcyone, Atlas, Maia, Electra, Calaehe, Merope and Pleione.
Starting off I had no idea what I wanted to make, I wanted something a bit different from my usual smooth form cybernetic stuff I have made before. I wanted something bulkier, something heavy and a bit monstrous.
I began work on a some heavy wings which you can see at the top of the page. Unfortunately I didn't take too many screenshots during the creation of it but I have a few. The design has changed a bit from when I first pictured and I'm not entirely sure why because in hindsight I prefer out hit previously looked but still happy with the result.
Here is the first rendition of the wings:
Overall, I have been working on this project since October 13 2022. It has been 5 months of work because of my constant delays and procrastination. I also had a massive break from VR because I was drinking too much so needed the break to have a mental reset and get back into it with a healthier mindset. I found that a lot of my friends experienced the same thing. Moving past that though, I am very happy with the results, and I believe that the hard work has paid off because this bitch is fucking hot! If no one buys her I won't care because she is easily my main avatar now, which means I have been testing her a lot in full body on the weekends. Check out the spin preview before.
