Juliet Starling on XPS (Lollipop Chainsaw)

Julie Starling: Teenage Zombie Killer and one gorgeous Barefoot Babe!

Most of my favorite barefoot babe game titles are fighting games, but every now and then a title from a different genre is able to squeeze in between the beat 'em ups. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, it's almost certain the babe featured in that title and the quality of feet are exceptional to awesome. For instance, Tomb Raider Underworld gave us the stunning adventurer Lara Croft in here hot wetsuit, while RPG classic Skyrim (Modded on PC) gave us the finest-looking in-game bare feet I've yet seen. And then of course there's this game- Lollipop Chainsaw!

Truly a guilty pleasure in every sense of the word, this fan service-heavy hack-and-slash zombie game was an over-the-top Buffy the Vampire Slayer (but with zombies) from the infamous Suda 51, he of Killer 7 fame that we can thank for the creation of another barefoot babe favorite, Kaede Smith. Lollipop's heroine, the perky Juliet Starling isn't barefoot by default, but among her unlockable costumes are sexy bikinis which allow her to go through her lengthy zombie-killing adventure barefoot.
  Zombie Punk Zed gets Juliet's double foot stomp in the face. Lucky!

 And what LOVELY feet she has! I have to say that Juliet's character model surely has exceptionally well-rendered, well-sculpted and modeled feet, with very life-like and realistic textures particularly for her soles (my favorite area, of course). I can almost imagine the skin of her soles was modeled or taken from a real person. That she has individual toes (unstead of the usual grouped digits when it comes to game models) is also something that sets her apart (heh) from the rest. This babe is truly a vision to see. Add a lovely, toned and trim physique, a bubbly personality (with quite exceptional voice performance from her VA) and some wondrous fighting skills, and you have real reason to be jealous of her somewhat handicapped boyfriend, Nick.
 
Whether she's dangerous or a damsel, Juliet is always looking beautiful.

 Anyways, suffice to say that Lollipop Chainsaw isn't new- and I've had Juliet's model for a LONG time... but it was only recently that I got to use it quite a bit more in XPS Posing Program- sadly most of my time was taken up by Tekken and DOA5 models- that I realized how awesome her character model is. Since then, she's become a bit of my favorite babe to do poses with! I mean, you can do tons of fun and sexy stuff with her- whether she's kicking zombie ass, or is a helpless unconscious damsel- she looks gorgeous. And again, those SOLES... darn, they're freakin' hypnotic. I find myself imagining how soft they must feel... when I press my face into them. Heheh. Ahem.
  Not having a body regardless, Nick is one lucky dude...

Anyways, check out the various pose art I've done with Juliet, both here and in their full-size on my DeviantArt page, VirtualSoles. I'm sure you'll agree that Juliet is made for sexy posing!

BTW, a little heads up- I have some nice stuff coming up soon in XPS that is quite special. Stay tuned. Heheh...

DOA5U + XPS - Dead or Alive Ultimate Knockouts! (DOA5 Ultimate)

Finally, real Knockouts return to Dead or Alive, thanks to XPS.

Even if I've been disappointed a lot by the series in the past, I am a certified Dead or Alive fan. No other series mixes fan service and fighting awesomeness like Tecmo-KOEI's flagship beat 'em up. And of course, the DOA girls are certainly the most fetching collection of female fighters around (though Tekken fans may say nay). Now, there are some gripes I have with the series as of late. While thankfully the influx of barefoot bikini outfits has finally allowed us to enjoy all the girls' soles and toes (despite the fact that the quality of the in-game feet are inferior to Tekken or VF5), there is still a glaring aspect of DOA5/DOA5U that I wish I could rectify- the Knockouts.


Posing the girls in KOs is... very interesting.

Really, the plain, irritating thing about DOA5 is that NO ONE GETS KO'ED at the end of a match. You hit them with a dozen-hit combo, drop them off a building onto their heads, crack their necks or suplex them into an exploding gas canister- all it does is make them dizzy and give up the fight. Are they knocked unconscious? Nope. To be totally accurate, you CAN actually make a downed (and dizzy) defeated enemy lose consciousness with certain follow-up hits on them, but it's after the point.

The KO is something I find really appealing, satisfying and, well, hot, so I want them in the game again. Well, thanks to the XPS Posing Program, that can finally happen in DOA5 Ultimate. Well, kinda.
 They key is having the character and stage files from DOA5/DOA5U to work with- thankfully these are often posted by modders on DeviantArt, though not all characters/DOA girls have had their barefoot swimsuit models made available.

The next is posing the character you wish to see knocked out in the KO pose you wish. Then it's all a matter of capturing footage of the slumbering babe with a capture program such as FRAPS.

  Someday I hope to have access to all the character and stage models...

After which it's just a matter of editing and attaching the KO ending sequence to a match video that uses the corresponding characters and stage used in an Editing Suite, like iMovie or Windows MovieMaker. Having the music file of the stage is also a plus.

Put it all together and VOILA, you got a hot and sexy KO sequence with a napping hottie to ogle at the end of the action-packed brawl. To date, I have most of the girls' models in their barefoot Hot Getaway or Ultimate Sexy outfits, although a couple have not yet been made available (Christie and Sarah). I only have four stages to alternate and use for vids as well.





One thing to watch is that the KO endings should not be too long. Save footage for another match.

 The videos take a bit of work, but once the template files are done it's just a matter of recording new matches and changing up KO poses so they're different or slightly altered every time. KO or Sleepy Fans should find the finishing sequences a lot more satisfying, and I think they bring to mind the Tekken 6 KO win poses with Zafina or Dragunov that were my favorites in that game.
     

Who's the best 'Sleeping Beauty' in DOA5U? Hmmm...

 What's next after I do a vid for all the babes? Perhaps Tag Team KO ending sequences? Hmmm. We'll see. Finally though I am able to really meld my XPS hobby with the Youtube channel content, which is awesome. So check out the vids here and stay tuned for more hot KOs soon.

Jaycee Barefoot (Tekken Tag Tournament 2, XPS)

The Masked Luchadora finally bares her soles for us. In XPS, at least.

When the mysterious, masked luchadora Jaycee first appeared in the teaser trailer for Tekken Tag Tournament 2, I was immediately intrigued and excited. She was definitely hot with her sporty physique, and what little we could see of her face was beautiful (but then, there aren't any ugly women in Tekken anyway). Aside from that, her flamboyant and energetic character was interesting- so different from most of the stoic or reserved females in the roster. Another thing that intrigued of course was her being a wrestler, which surely would be given to going barefoot; her default costume was already quite skimpy already. I really had high hopes for this new femme fatale.

 So imagine my surprise when it was eventually discovered/revealed that Jaycee was none other than longtime Tekken girl Julia Chang. But that really only made her more interesting. Transformation from Plain Jane to Star Grappler was awesome. And finally, there was the possibility that Julia would FINALLY bare her soles in the game. Ah, we were all so hopeful. Sadly, this was not to be with Tekken Tag 2's retarded, dumbed-down customization.
Yes, Jaycee (and the rest of the girls) got bikinis, but all came with shoes (damn you, Harada) and a separate barefoot customization was nowhere in the game. But really, enough of our bad memories and the Tekken Team's shortcomings. At least in the totally awesome XPS Poser Studio we can now take the TTT2 Jaycee Bikini Model and remove those irritating sandals as we please.

 Yes, I've had the Mask-less version of Jaycee for months, but really- there's a certain appeal to the Masked Jaycee that you just don't get with the exposed one. Jaycee without the mask is Julia, plain and simple, which is just not the same; this persona requires the whole package. The great thing is, Jaycee is so versatile (just like her in-game character). She can be heel,face or jobber, and she looks so hot doing it. Those legs, feet and physique... just dazzling. I know I'll be playing with her a LOT in XPS. Check out the arts I've done with her so far at my DA Page. There will definitely be more to come as Jaycee challenges all the other babes and scores some pins. YEAH!

Nina Williams: The Barefoot Assasin comes to XPS!

Nina sashaying towards you is an enchanting (and also scary) vision to behold.


I'm sure I don't need to gush too much about how the stunning Nina Williams is one of my all-time favorite barefoot game babes. I've written more about Tekken's original barefoot babe more times than I can recall. Well, thanks once again to HolySpell on DeviantArt, the Barefoot Assassin is now mine to pose with using XPS, over at VirtualSoles on DA- and as you can easily see with the couple of samples I've posted here- she's GORGEOUS.

It's quite a bit of fortuitous circumstance- I asked HolySpell to convert a certain customized model of Nina from Tekken 6 (the Battle Nurse getup), but apparently this was a pretty difficult (or at least work-heavy thing) to do. However, he DID have a Nina model from Tekken 6 he worked on a couple of years ago, and that was the one he sent me, although with the caveat that it wasn't the model I was asking for. Well, as luck would have it, the Nina model we now have wasn't what I was asking for, but it's what I want! Nina is decked out in the hot customized combo of a Sexy Top and Short Skirt, and wearing the Styled Hair, which is, easily the hottest hairstyle for her in Tekken 6. Of course, she's barefoot (bare-handed as well, as an extra) and having some nice simple but irresistibly white undies for perfect upskirt opportunities. Heheh.



Just a simple pose, but heck- Nina would be hot just sneezing. Heheh...

What can I say? I am in Posing Heaven right now, with the hottest Nina incarnation ever at my command. I have a lot of plans to make some exciting and sexy poses and stories with this femme fatale, and you can check out the first pics over at my DeviantArt page. Have your fill of the sexiest Assassin Soles ever! Man, ain't technology grand? Heheh.

Zafina: Barefoot and Bodacious in XPS!

The Mysterious Assassin at her Hottest, posing for our pleasure.

The darkly beautiful Zafina has always been a hottie, but she's also NEVER been barefoot. At least, not in-game in any of the Tekken games she's so far appeared in. That's really a crying shame because DAMN those sexy feet of hers, with their lovely colored toenails, are meant to be free of any footwear to show off their hotness to the world! Well, thankfully now, in the XPS posing program at least, she is available for me to pose for our pleasure. Once again, I have to thank HolySpell from Deviantart for providing the barefooted Zafina TTT2 swimsuit model.

What can I say? Since getting the Zafina model, I can't get enough of her! For some reason she's a pleasure to pose and put into the ongoing 'story' I have with the Tekken Tag 2 babes and a mysterious evil force behind a secret KO Tournament.  Zafina looks amazing whether she's kicking arse or being a damsel in distress. Perhaps it's the ease of using her model. Or that hot, hot, HOT swimsuit (the white undies are a sure plus). Or perhaps those colored toenails? The whole package of this Middle-Eastern Beauty is just so amazing. I never really was able to appreciate her until now- Thanks, XPS!

So if you want more of this now-barefoot femme fatale, head on over to my DeviantArt page, VirtualSoles. Zafina (and the other TTT2 ladies) will be sure to enchant you. More to come! Later then.

Tekken's Barefoot Knockouts on DeviantArt

The lovely (and limber) Capoeirista Christie Monteiro joins VS on DA!

 In case you haven't already checked out my recently-opened DeviantArt page, VirtualSoles, perhaps you can spare a moment or two to go there. It's my new diversion these days, which admittedly is taking a bit of time away from both this blog and my Youtube channel- but I guarantee you the sexy XPS pose artworks starring the barefoot babes of Tekken and other games is worth it. Have to say, all the frustration I had with the disappointing lack of barefoot customization in Tekken Tag 2 has been alleviated by the awesome fun and enjoyment I've been having with XPS and XNALara. I've pretty much been able to pose and compose hotter KO's and sole views than any of the Tekken games (or any fighting game or videogame yet seen for that matter) have ever given us.

That's not to say I'm not waiting impatiently for the next big fighting games, mind you... but playing with the character models in XPS is an awesome way to pass the time, and I get to compose some pretty cool scenes, whether you're into barefoot babes or not (I think). So check out the page- so far in terms of Tekken, I've got Lili Rochefort (both Tekken 6 and Tekken Tag 2 barefoot models), Asuka Kazama, Kunimitsu, Ling Xiaoyu, Leo Kliesen and most recently, Christie Monteiro to play with, and I'm hoping to find more in the days and weeks ahead. Also, I'll be posting stuff with other game babes, notably the ladies of DOA5 and some cool surprises. See you on DA!

Barefoot Tekken Babes on XNALara/XPS!

Me messing around in XPS with the Tekken Girls...

VirtualSoles on Deviantart is live, and I've already posted a couple of pose art. Sadly, I'm not that savvy into the workings of 3D art and rendering, so all I can do for now is dabble and do as nice poses and scenes with the barefoot ladies of Tekken as I can. Compared to a lot of other already existing XNA or XPS art on DA, I'm pretty green, but heck- all that matters is that I give barefoot knockouts their time in the sun for all footfans to share and appreciate. Oh, and I AM having fun doing this. For now, I'm working on a series of arts that conveys one story- pretty simple, really... just a reimagined first fight between Asuka and Lili- of course this time they're in bikinis and barefoot. Heheh. Anyway, head on over to DA to see what I already have up. And check the vid above to some behind the scenes 'footage' captured straight from my desktop. Heh. See you over at VirtualSoles DeviantArt!
