Azur Lane - IJN Kaga [Blender]

"I do plan to make her sister Kaga.
HOPEFULLY it should be smooth sailing from there." - Andrew Au 2025

literally the biggest understatement of the month....
My Fifth BNPR styled anime models is another one of the more popular Shipgirls for being one of the main characters in the Azur Lane: The Animation, Kaga's cold dead-pan personality and her ongoing search for an adversary worthy of her to crush compliment her sister, Akagi whom she holds in high regard.
I had to make both Kitsune bad senpais because it's criminal to have one but not the other.

HOWEVER, I completely underestimated the changes between Akagi and Kaga almost hilariously, as the Kimono had to be completely redone, rerigged and weighted several times, and her face shapekeys had to be redone often when I was doing the renders, despite being a straight edit of my Akagi model.

Much like how I did Akagi's Kimono, Kaga's is also left plain white due to inconsistencies with the Anime itself

Also learned that the First Carrier Division that Akagi, and Kaga were a part of was behind the Bombing of Darwin in WWII, so um.. that's something.
