ArenaNet test female
Been grindin away at this since thursday, I promised myself I'd post for feedback today regardless of where the model was so some stuff hasn't really been touched yet.
Some of my own thoughts:
- Going to redo the legs completely today to increase the length a bit... Also going to adjust the legs/feet to be forward facing instead of being set at angles like this. I'm hoping it'll make it easier to model the shoes and rig the character later.
- Fur is just placeholder junk, I'm planning to paint the fur into the diffuse map later because I think it'll give better results.
- Opted not to go with the skirt with hard creases, I think it looks nice in the concept because it's all blowing in the wind but I'm concerned with it draped at the sides (like most of the armor in guildwars does) that'll make it look like a japanese schoolgirl skirt, Sakura style... Not sure if this is a good choice. Might end up just doing both to compare.
Any critique on what I've done/planning to do is appreciated!

Anyway, keep banging on it. It's great so far.
pics a little small to get a clear read but it's looking pretty solid so far. looking at the concept I'd say she should be a bit longer in the torso as well as the legs, maybe like this? or maybe just narrower hips.
not certain, but I think the outer skirt should be closer to knee length as well.

Definitely keep us posted. I´d love to see this one finished.
I may just have to give this a try myself.
Or does Guildwars have a viewangle that wouldn't take advantage of that very well?
Still looks great of course

Definitely going to redo the plates cause the edges are super tight, it's just an alpha so it shouldn't be too hard.
Took a lot of the advice here, lengthened the legs and narrowed the hips a bit, softened some of the muscle definition (especially in the shoulders), finished off the shoes also. The height should be closer to the GW2 models now.
Some closeups this time...
@OrganizedChaos: Thanks! surprised you remember that :0
@Duncan: glad you jumped in, we all need the competition
Edit: I know the little wolf deeliebob at the end of the hanging bit is wrong, haven't gotten to it yet.
Also thanks everybody for the comments
