#which is why this isn't a selfship-related render

“Hey, wait, don’t touch that! Haven’t you ever seen a Frillish before? They have poison stingers on their arms!”
so I still haven’t decided what I want Noire to be wearing on her feet but I wanted to show off what I have of her reference model so far, and I figured out a reason for her not to be wearing any shoes by putting her in the water =P
Noire isn’t from Unova, so she doesn’t actually know much detail about its Pokémon. That’s part of why she becomes a Trainer temporarily, to learn more about the native Pokémon as well as to get to travel the region, but she doesn’t actively seek to catch Pokémon at all. In this instance, she had to catch the injured Frillish in order to safely transport it to a Pokémon Centre, and just decides to keep it with her while it’s recovering. Later, it evolves into a Jellicent which she names Lissi!
(This post is okay to reblog, but it’s not really related to the selfship I use Noire for, so I’m not going to tag anyone if that’s alright! There’s also a close-up of Noire under the readmore since it might be hard to see much detail)
It’s very difficult to properly convey emotions well with Noire because her eyebrows are under her headband half the time, but I figured out that MMD actually works with negative facial values, so I was able to get the expression of mild uncertain surprise pretty accurately!

Maybe I should have turned edge lines off, but oh well.
