Also want to remind everyone that if I meet my next Patreon goal, I’ll be releasing my models (as beta) publicly.

Every month, it inches even closer to this goal. If this goal is reached, it will be my pleasure to release my models much sooner than I originally planned. Thank you.
 
 
 
 
This is a long time coming, and I should’ve done this sooner. Much sooner.
 
So in summary, I was having a lot of trouble getting the eyebrows to cooperate when they needed to move down towards the eyelids. But the fact that the two independent rigs of both the eyebrows and the eyelids were on the same plane, it was creating a ton of over-complications for the longest time, and it had me hung up for a good month. But yesterday I finally decided to go a different route. I reworked Pinkie’s upper face a bit so that her face now has eye sockets. This allows me to push her eyes and eyelids back into her face a bit, allowing the eyebrow and eyelid rigs to be on different planes on the face. And now that this is the case, I hardly have to worry about the two rigs interacting with each-other in undesirable ways. As you can see with Pinkie’s left eye, her eyebrow is comfortably going over the top of her eyelid without it looking bad or out of place. It looks natural.
 
This idea wasn’t new. I’ve debated it to myself before, and the main reason I decided not to back then was because I feared it was stray away from the show accurate style I was hoping to go for. But clearly I was wrong. Honestly, her face looks pretty much the same as it did before, but with a bit of extra detail in how her face now has some slight eyesockets, where it didn’t before.
 
Now I can continue with rigging up her eyebrows with little fear of bad interactions with her eyelid rig. I still have a bit of work to do on her brows, as I’ve only just started doing this rework yesterday, but it’s a much less daunting task than it was before.
