Shiva model!

[Shougun]

To everybody being troubled that Shiva doesn't feel "icey" or classic despite knowing that the textures are just a placeholder and a modeler's aid, I decided to recolor an old, "classical" Shiva to this palette.



How icey does she feel?


EDIT: Just out of clarity, my point is to show how much difference can the coloring make. There's no reason to judge this Shiva for being not "cold" enough, when her skin is warmth and everything.

First, awesome recolor
Second, I dont like it at all ( as Shiva ) lol - actually it reminds me of yunalesca x yuna mix

I think it could be interesting if Shiva "normal mode" is semi human pale white ("Twilight White") but once she starts flinging Ice everywhere ill be damned If she isnt sparkling and frosty. lol

The blue cold color scheme is shiva's anchor point in design (that and a general clothless getup), like a warm red orange is Ifrit's.

Oh c'mon xD I just (slopply) selected areas of the picture and shifted their tonality toward another color. It didn't take me more than 10 minutes. Thank you though
It was just to, exactly, prove my point. That no matter how good the base model is, if you throw weird colors on it it's gonna look weird. And if you judge by the (placeholder) colors, your brain is simply being deceived.
You said it yourself― this is the FFX Shiva that we all love. Yet with this palette she looks SO weird, despite her base model being perfectly fine.
