Female AIs - Faces & Heads

- The Usual Suspects

By Geep, 2021

Introduction to "Part 1 – Faces & Heads – The Usual Suspects"

As with many video games, characters in TDM are composed of bodies and heads, which to some extent can be mixed and matched. In TDM (and unlike real-life) the character name and most other attributes is associated with the body, not the head. So default character names tend to be ignored when composing an FM. Indeed, an internal name is only displayed if a character is picked up, which is rare. All this by way of explaining why the female heads are simply called for instance, “Female01”.

Although not immediately obvious, there are only 4 distinct faces currently available in the core assets. These brown-eyed women come with various hair colors and styles, as well as necklines designed for different types of bodies. Generally, noblewomen and wenches have plunging, shoulder-revealing necklines, while townfolks and mages are more demure. In Part 1, we present the photos showing each face/head, followed by a table of details including which bodies it pairs well with. Additional information about pairing is at the end. Photos of female-specific bodies with their clothing styles, reflective of their roles, can be found in Part 2.

The Faces & Heads of the Standard Distribution

The head images here are as seen in the DR “Create Model” viewer, which tends to be a bit more informative than the head-selection process of “Create Entity”. In practice, though, you would select an AI body first in DR’s “Create Entity”, then preview and choose a head. More about that process later.
