Kallista's Body Work

So earlier today I made a post in the Counterparts thread showing off some tweaks I made to Kallista's body in Bodyslide.
Truth be told, it was done on a whim. Kallista's old body was a fantastic fit for her, and I was always completely happy with it. But yesterday, I found myself thinking "could I improve upon her?" There were aspects of her character that I thought could be further driven home with some changes, like how she's supposed to have the biggest tits of any of my mortal characters, or how she's a heavy plate wearing two-handed warrior. For the most part, her old body did this. Her hips and ass aren't as round as Nchella's or Raelyndreth's, her torso is slightly beefier compared to any of my other characters, and her boobs are pretty damn big. Still, I thought, I might be able to do better.
So, I tried.
Firstly, I must apologize, since these pics aren't really perfect 1:1 comparisons. If there's commands to rotate or zoom along only one axis for Bodyslide's preview, I don't know it. The 3/4 and side views are okay but the head-on view is obviously slightly more zoomed in on the new body which really throws off the comparison given how subtle the changes are.
Anyway. Basically, I made her bigger.
Shoulders and calves un-smoothed. Torso em-biggened by about 10%. Tits bumped up in pure size as well as given a slight fantasy push-up. I rounded her ass off a bit, beefed up her thighs, and after going back and forth a bit, wound up leaving her hips and hipbone about where they were. Something about that slightly more angular look suits her more than the round Hartman hips that some of her compatriots enjoy. Arms got a slight upgrade, too.
Her tits are pretty much as big as they'll ever get - any bigger and I'll never be able to make a chestier demon character without them looking egregiously cartoony. I may go back and further beef up her arms, torso, and shoulders, but I'm not into Amazons, so if I do, it won't be much. I'll stretch my boundaries a bit for the sake of a character (Selune and Eldawen being rail thin in comparison to all my other girls is testament to that fact) but at the end of the day I won't make something I don't like. Probably why my story posts never have anal and tend to involve proportionally waaaay more blowjobs than they need to, but that's neither here nor there.
Ah, but I almost forgot! Her body isn't the only thing that got tweaked!
One thing that's always bugged me about Kallista's face is her mouth. It just didn't play as nice as it could have with facial animations, and was always a bummer. So, I switched it out for a different one, then tweaked it to be as similar to the old as possible. So the end result is no meaningful change to her actual face, but an improvement to how the mouth behaves when emoting. Had to tweak her chin a fair bit, though, since the new one had sort of an underbite. I fixed it, though, and got her chin back where it belongs! Hopefully as I have her emote in future shots, the improvement will become more obvious.
I also put a bit more color into her cheeks and lips, though the lighting here doesn't really show that off.
Anyway. Hope y'all enjoy the read!
