The mesh really isn't very complicated at all - I tried to keep it minimal, especially the surcoat, which is rigged to only the legs and three extra bones.

@MiaCain2001 Absolutely love the look of the character, can I see the topology/wireframe? I'd love to get into a style like this and seeing more work like it would be awesome to point me in a good direction!

I originally started this project, Crypthound Vesna, as a highschool assignment when I was 18. It's come a long way since then (and has a lot further left to go), but it's fun to tinker with and add ideas to. (Sounds are all placeholders!)

2. I am not catholic, or religious at all, nor do I identify as a 'furry,' though I have no qualms with anyone who differs from me in these regards. Vesna, the main character, is christian because she's a 13th century bohemian, and she's a wolf because that's more fun to draw!

@LoyalHoundVesna 4. As some people have pointed out, yes, this is the lord's prayer in german. I'm a native german speaker, but I will change it to more appropriate middle high german or, if I'm lucky, medieval bavarian, as soon as I find a good glyphset. See also this panel in the comic:

1. The heal isn't always the full length. The player has a number of charges available to them; after the initial windup, indicated both by the animation and the placeholder UI element, interrupting the heal - by letting go of the button or getting hit - uses up one charge

@EldritchRe55837 Hello! Apologies for any confusion- Vesna is a woman, she's the protagonist of a comic I write @LoyalHoundVesna . She's crossing herself because she's a 13th century european christian, not a fascist. She also sleeps with women, so how good of a christian she is is debatable!

Of note is maybe that the highlights in the shader require smoothed normals to build a shell and extrude/offset it; since the mesh has some sharp edges, we circumvented this by baking smoothed normals into the vertex colour layer.
